Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Sold my Glacier. It is nice, really nice, and that's an understatement, but I just never use it, so it's too expensive to keep in a box. Thought about holding onto it to pair with the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One when I upgrade my phone in a couple months, but I really don't want to be carrying...- SurfWax

I'm enjoying my vintage B RS1s more as time passes, I'm learning to hear all the finer details and separation after using them for a while, I think I've fully burned into them. I loved them from the first minute I used them and its only getting better and better. Rad.- SurfWax

The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.
s4 at that price is what I consider an amazing value. I got my pair for around there and I've now moved onto RS1's and a nicer DAC/amp, but my s4's remain as my go-to-portable on the street and am just as happy to listen to them unamped, straight out of my laptop's headphone jack, sound great!- SurfWax

I liked the RS1 the moment I heard them, even unamped, but the more and more I use them, the better they get to me. I know it's me getting used to all the new details and sound signature but man, I love these RS1s. Sound so sweet- SurfWax

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Sorry I haven't posted anything real yet, I haven't used the Glacier and RS1 as much as I thought I was going to be, been busy back in school, but over the last couple days, I've been putting in more time and all I can say is that whether its the DAC or the amp or the combo of them together, the...- SurfWax

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Sorry guys its going to be a while before I can put up my real impressions. Laptop died on me the day the Glacier arrived, only got a couple hours with them together. Its also the first time I was able to listen to my RS1s so I'm barely getting used to the sound. They sound great unamped out of...- SurfWax
