    CEntrance BlueDAC - Anyone aware?

    Michael,   Love the idea of a high quality bluetooth portable headphone amp/dac combo.  Backed the Indiegogo campaign for the limited edition pledge.  I've broken my headphone input once and bent two mini male connectors for my Sennheiser HD598s.  Also being able to work with the phone while...

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Have you looked at the posts on Norne Audio, I had a very nice cable made by Trevor back when it was Norse Audio that included a locking banana to XLR adapter.  I have yet to use it though, due to being fairly satisfied with my Burson Soloist Headphone amp.  Only occasionally do I wish for more...

    NEW Ibasso D42 Mamba!

    Did you ever get a reply to this post?  I am having a great deal of difficulty finding any details on which Op Amps to use for replacements.  I currently have a Sennheiser HD598 with Double Helix  Molecule SE cable and am currently using the FiiO E11 but want to upgrade to a DAC/Amp and am...

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Some pictures of a recent acquisition of Norse Audio Reign 4 series cable.  Tried to keep all my options open with the various terminations.  Really do need to get around to adding that final piece for Hifiman HE-6's, and that would be for a decent 75 Watt stereo amp. But of course other more...

    Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones

    Still waiting for someone to review a Bryston 2B- LP Pro or plain vanilla 2B.  They're all over the place used and cheap as hell considering the build quality.

    Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones

    Quote: Looking at the website I think I'd like to try the cheaper AMP-D1 Stereo, 100 Watts into 8 Ohms, I'd run this out of my Soloist and use the Soloist as preamp.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Quote: I've had this album for a while and love it, if you don't already have "Up Up Up Up" you should get it and give a listen to.  Definitely one of her better albums.

    Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones

    Quote: Did you ever get the Bryston 2B LP Pro?  I'm thinking of adding in one myself and want to know your opinion on the match.  They're consistently around $400 - $600 used on ebay, and if you can find one where owner still has the original receipt and it's not 15 years old or more...

    Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones

    Wondering if anybody has tried the following amp for driving the HE-6's?  I really love their 20 year warranty and supporting local manufacturer isn't a bad thing either.  It's 60 Watts per channel with fully separated power supplies etc so I don't need to bridge the speaker taps with a resistor...

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    The Reign 12 (equiv. 4x21awg, 12-wire) Cryo Litz upocc Silver(Cu) is not a fully silver wire, rather silver coated copper.  Should be a interesting mix and with Norse Audio`s trade-in/replacement warranty of 60 days more than enough time for me to determine whether it works.  I`ve heard that the...
