    Melbourne Mini Head-Fi Meet - 13th November 2011

    I also won't be able to make it. 1. Because I have an exam the following day and 2. Because my car has also broken down (clutch / gearbox being replaced) and is out of action for maybe 2+ weeks. Sorry guys, hope it's a good day!

    Audeze LCD-2 vs AKG K701 on a Schiit Lyr is it worth it?

    Agree with Shubar.   Spent the last weekend with my K701/LCD-2 and the Lyr. The LCD-2 is much much better for my tastes, the 701 just feels cold and loveless.   If you're finding the 701 lacking I really don't think you're going to be able to fix that with an amp, it's just the nature of...

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    Quote: I'll be doing a review that should be out about the 10-11th of October, it will be solely for the LCD-2 and comprise of many different amps/dacs. The W4S DAC1 and Violectric V200 and V800 will be in as well as all of Bursons gear and the Schiit Lyr. Perhaps you'd like to wait...

    [Review] Nuforce Icon HDP

    Quote: Thanks for clearing that up Jason.   Any idea why I can't get my HDP to run 88.2 using optical? I'm running Windows 7, using Foobar2000 and can run 96kHz but cannot get 88.2 to work.   P.S. Doesn't look like 192 works either. It's either software related or a something to...

    [Review] Nuforce Icon HDP

    Quote:   Well, first of all I only just received the Lyr today and so don't want to give many impressions just yet. It's on a generous trial from the Aussie distributor for the rather large review I've got planned. I'll be comparing the Burson HA-160, HA-160D, DA-160, CEntrance DAC...

    [Review] Nuforce Icon HDP

    Anyone able to comment on the sound quality of the HDP as a pre-amp?   It's currently running as a DAC/Pre to the Lyr and am wondering whether the HDP's pre-amp is a weak link or possibly changing the sound in any way. (I'm specifically asking about the quality of the pre-amp's build as I'm...

    Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3?

    I will be buying both but am hoping that BF3 will become my new game. Been playing CS1.6 pretty hardcore for 7 years or so and with its ever dwindling community and the growing lack of interest in competitions (that I've been running) I don't have much interest to play other than for an...

    [Review] Nuforce Icon HDP

    Also want to add a query to this:   "The HDP supports 88.2 and 176.4 but not via USB."   My HDP does not support 88.2 via Optical from what I've found testing with my own device (On multiple computers). The HDP's web-page on NuForce is annoyingly vague on that matter... It states:  ...

    Melbourne 2nd Meet 2011 - 10.09.2011 impressions

    So I think it's time I put down some of the thoughts I have before I forget them... As of finishing this post, I've realised it's rather epic and if you can't be bothered, heres a quick summation: W1000x is beautiful, HA160D a possible upgrade, Sugden incredible, HE60 amazing, I need a CD player...
