Oh wow, you had nice timing.  When I was looking a week ago or so earphonesolutions.com was selling them for $499!

For those of you who do use an amp (or dac/amp combo) with the SM64's, which amp are you using or which has been your favorite with the SM64's?  I understand that not everyone thinks an amp makes any difference with them.  Also I'm guessing you would want a more neutral amp since most peoples...

Since it seems like a lot of people really like the sound of the SM64's would you guys say that they are worth $499?  Or were they only a better value when they sold for $399?  Trying to justify why I didn't buy them months ago when they were $399 and easily available in US, vs only being able...

I currently have the EarSonics SM3 v1, and I have really enjoyed them.  Would it be safe to say that I would also really enjoy the SM64's?  I am looking to replace my SM3 because the cable on it is hanging on by a thread and is not removeable.

Thanks for the info ericr!  I e-mailed soundearphones.com this morning and apparently they no longer carry the EarSonics brand =(.  So it looks like the only way to get them in the US is EarphoneSolutions or the ForSale forum.  Damn.

Does anyone know if the SM64 will be readily available in the US again?  It seems like almost no one has them.  Soundearphones.com no longer has them listed, and amazon has them out of stock with no future date when they would be available.  The only place seems to be EarphoneSolutions, except...

Interesting, I'll have to also look into those.  I had originally planned on just getting the uDac-3 by default since I liked the original when I got it a while back when it was first released.  However I decided to see what people thought of the uDac-2 and it seems like there were some changes...

Hello everyone,  I am currently looking at getting a small DAC/AMP setup to use at work.  I have noticed that Schiit equipment seems to be very popular now and looking into the company I am very interested.  I was thinking of doing the Modi+Magni stack, or maybe the Modi+Asgard 2 however I...

Bumping for luck!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some recommendations on getting a new pair of IEMs to replace my EarSonics SM3 v1.   Price range: $250-500.  I'd prefer around $250-300, but I'd be willing to go up to $500 if there is an IEM that is head and shoulders above the rest.   Music: Pop, Rock...

Does anyone here have the HDP already AND a version of the Audio-gd DAC19? The price points are similar so I would like to know how they stack up to each other in terms of sound.

haha oh man, don't even get me started on some progressive metal.. it's all about the 2nd disc of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Thanks for the recommendation on the V-DAC as well Heatfan. Would any of you guys say that the dac your using adds any coloration, or are they neutral for the...

Thanks for the input guys, looks like I will need to do a bit more reading on the PSA DLIII, DacMagic and Pico. From the look of it though, I can't go wrong with any of the big names mentioned often around here with the RS1 and MAD Ear+ HD combo.

Hey guys, I've been trying to look for a DAC that has good synergy with the Grado RS1s and Mapletree Ear+ HD. I'm trying to stay around $500 but am flexible enough if something stands out. I have been searching for days and unlike when looking for an amp for the RS1's, nothing has really...

ya, i was actually trying to figure out how to have foobar in kernal streaming and have windows sounds enabled because everytime windows would make a sound, it will cut the sound off from foobar.

Yep, I too am waiting for some HD595's. It seems that right when i finally decided which pair of headphones to buy, senns factory burned down. So ive been waiting all summer now to get a pair with no luck. But from what ive read, it seems like it will be well worth it. So im looking forward to...

Ok, so ive had my av710 and foobar for a few days now and when I use my normal computer speakers (old altec lansing acs56) it sounds very good, however when i put my HD497's on it sounds really distorted all around. My guess is that I currently have all the volume settings for my card and...

Ahh, thanks again! So much great help here.

Ahhh I'm an idiot, thanks! Everyone is so helpful. One last question I remeber someone saying that with winamps equalizer it was not that because because of something with it only being 16bit or something. Am i going to run into that problem using foobar?

Ok.. so I just got my AV710, installed and tweaked it based upon MrRadar's wonderful guide, and it sounds great! However theres one thing that im missing from my nf2 soundstorm. It had a great little equalizer on it so I could tweak the sound the way i wanted.. little less treble to take some...

I'm going to assume that with a few hundered dollar cable its better in terms of quality, less noise, and such like that, but is it a significant difference to the point where people on a tight budget should still think about it? Or would some standard ones work fine?

Ya i also wondered about this as everyone was always talking about fb2k, and while ive used winamp for just about ever, I did not really like fb2k. Im sure winamp should be able to do the same that fb2k does? or am i mistaken here? And I dont mean to take this thread off topic but, with the...

Ya, thats one of the reasons im getting it. Ill probably go with the Elpac 24v if i can squeeze the money out.

I'll be sure too as you guys have provided me with so much info, its only justified that I give back as much as I can.
