Great Movie Watching Headphones and Replacement Headphones for the Beyerdynamic COP
Quote: Some here seem to be missing observing that as there are different kinds of music - each requiring different equipment to be experienced at their best - there are also DIFFERENT kinds of films - from the eerie asian art films, through the dark and contained scandinavian dramas, to...- Virco

Great Movie Watching Headphones and Replacement Headphones for the Beyerdynamic COP
Quote: Actually, I would disagree with that the HP100 are good for movies. I have them and although I genuinely disliked them at the beginning, I slowly begin to warm up to them for certain kind of music, particularly classical and nuanced female vocals. They are quite neutral, with decent...- Virco

SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread
Quote: What can I say? There might indeed be a problem with my file/source/amp combo... Not that is shows up when listening to any of my other headphones. But maybe you can find something wrong with it: files ALAC @ 44.100KHz when not @ 96.000KHz on i7 MacMini - async USB cable - D7...- Virco

FiiO X3 Review
Quote: I have just received my X3 (firmware 1.23) and I have to say I am quite bummed that my music being in ALAC format, I can't have the unit identifying and displaying NONE of the information that comes within the files (Artist, Album, Song, Cover Illustration, Genre, etc...)...- Virco

Difference btw Grado RS2i and RS2
What I got from reading this thread so far is that NONE of contributors could give a clear and data sustained answer to a fairly simple question: "What are the differences between the RS2 and the RS2i"- Virco

SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread
I have received my HP100 about a week ago. For the first 2 days I didn't even put them on but just left them plugged-in playing a loop, so much I tried to avoid hearing them with at least some burn-in (following the apparently agreed upon fact they are not easy to burn-in) At this point...- Virco

iMac digital output
Hi guys... It's a good thing I have the mic on my computer turned off or otherwise you'd "hear" my wallet cringing... Anyway, just a short question, 'cause I'm a bit confused here. Although I know that Macs have decent (not more, but that's not bad to begin with) sound cards, I wanted to go...- Virco

The Fiio X3 Thread.
Dudes, this is getting a bit silly... :-) You guys who HAVE the X3, and also are capable to follow the instruction on how to turn on gapless play on the device, can you PLASE give us a clear answer if it does work or not with lossless files (FLAC, ALAC)? It can't be THAT hard, can...- Virco

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Quote: Good point! Let me see if I got this right: so if I connect my iPod to my Mac and then use iTunes to play its content, then through the USB port on the Mac I have access to the unconverted digital signal than I can put trough a decent DAC? Thank you so much.- Virco

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Quote: Well, me again... not only do I ask daft sounding questions, it appears I also lack basic knowledge of my own equipment :-) After careful consideration I reached the conclusion that no matter the output port (be it the top headphones port, or the bottom 30 pin port) the signal...- Virco

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Quote: Just to make things even more clear: Is the tube DAC function coming into play only when the signal is fed through the USB port or can I feed digital signal trough the rear RCA input too? Cheers- Virco

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Hello guys, Despite my fear that among your advanced/specialised talk about all sort of exotic tubes to roll on the Aune, my question will sound flat, muddled and with no "sound-stage" whatsoever, here goes: I mainly play my music from an 80Gb iPod 5th gen. filled to the brim with...- Virco
