Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
Hey guys, I have a question. I want to spend ~$200 to buy a DAC to use with my stereo speaker system. I have been looking at the ODAC and the Schiit Modi 2 Uber. Can anyone compare the sonic performance of these two DACs? Or can someone recommend a better DAC that can be had for about $200...- OperatorPerry

Okay, and you use the AC adapter with the Modi 2U, whereas the Modi 1 does not use an AC adapter?- OperatorPerry

Thank you for the reply. However, I am looking for a sound quality/performance comparison between the ODAC and Modi 2 Uber. If someone can provide a comparison along those lines, I will be greatly appreciative. Thanks- OperatorPerry

Brief Odac impressions
Question, Should I be using a USB cable with a ferrite core to connect my ODAC? And if so, are the USB cables with ferrite cores from Monoprice fine? I need a 10ft cable, and I connect my ODAC to my Behringer A500 speaker amplifier. Thanks,- OperatorPerry

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
How will this compare to the HD 650? Which will have a fuller sound with more bass? Edit: I would also like to throw the Sony MA900 into this discussion.- OperatorPerry

Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread
Lachlan, any updated thoughts on MA900 vs HD 650? I have owned and enjoyed the MA900 for just over a year and recently decided to search for an upgrade to them. I ordered the HD 650 about a week ago and will be trying them out for about 3 more weeks to decide if they are worth the ~$415 I paid...- OperatorPerry

Comfort from AKG K240 Studio is absolutely terrible
Check out the Sony MA900 - FWIR it's extremely lightweight and comfortable with sound close to what you described- OperatorPerry
