    Sony's DSD-capable PHA-2 portable headphone amp/DAC

    finally finished this discussion from the top to here!   Got my Pha-2 around 2 weeks.  So far quite satisfying with the SQ.  A bit bright for me but that is OK.   I am currently using some of my old iphones as player.  Just got my 5s so decide to turn my 3Gs and iphone 4 as reusable player. ...

    Zodiac user: Better to get a Voltikus or RWA black lighting

    Just got a brand new silver at home! I am so happy.   Surely will get a power upgrade when my pocket allow.  But somebody suggest me to get a battery supply instead of AC power adapter.   On the market the only battery supply I knew is RWA, and aren't cheap at all too.   Any suggestion?

    How do I convince people that audio cables DO NOT make a difference

    Did not spend time to read all those post.  However I just want to put what my ear report to me.   The change of cable DO change the sound, either to worse or better.   That`s all.

    Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)

    One of the very thing that I hate the new design, it that we missed the click username pop up manual.  What a great idea and so much convenient to PM people.

    Should I downgrade D7000 to D5000?

    If you found out the D7000 is "mids being recessed and the treble being a little too sharp/bright sometimes, while the bass is mostly the same", I think that is obviously D7000 is not well amplified.  Compare with D5000, D7000 will be more neutral and balanced, and SQ just a step ahead of D5000...

    A new, fantastic way of using IEMs!

    This made me remember the time I was in school, one of the classmate using a headphone, placed it on the desk, and increase the volume to the degree that she did not need to wear it but the headphone act as a mini speaker on the desk......   Creative if you may say.
