Quote: Yes, not all, but many (a good amount of DDC and the like as well). But as far as supporting the artist goes I can't help you, although one day, when I'm not a poor college student, I'd like to stick with listening, and buying, sacd's and vinyls. Until then, sorry! Good luck man.

I was just wondering what the best choice would be for me atm...   I'm considering either buying a higher end power cable for my woo audio 6 (nothing crazy, ~$50-100), saving up for a cleaner power supply like: http://www.psaudio.com/ps/products/detail/AV-Power-Center-3000?cat=power , or...

I use what.cd and waffles.fm mainly (torrenting sites)

Quote: Lol   I took a screenshot just to clarify:       So basically right now everything's good? :) I'm testing on cheap cans cause the grados are getting recabled atm, I'm gonna go crazy

Thanks for the help guys, one last question...   I set my v-dac switch to optical/coaxial after connecting it via fiber optic spdif to my comp, and audio midi didn't recognize it like it did if it was hooked up with a usb.  What am I doing wrong?? Thanks...

Ok thanks so much!   Not to sound dumb, but does that plus into the spdif input for the dac and the headphone jack?

I'll start off my explaining my setup (I'm a poor college student, but it's slowly improving and is definitely respectable for a teen):   Songbird (100% flac, mostly 24 bit)> Macbook Pro> MF V-Dac (via usb) > Woo Audio 6 > Grado SR325is   I may be mistaken, but I believed when this was...

My LD 1+ and VDAC are finally here! I already notice a difference. The dac really cleans things up and adds soo much detail and a tighter bass, while the amp seems to completely get rid of the harshness of my phones (grado 325is). Just thought I'd tell ya, I'm so happy Will this sound better...

I have Grado 325is phones fully broken in that I got for christmas, and I've been using them unamped until now. I finally ordered a little dot 1+ and a mf v-dac, and was just wondering how much of an improvement should I expect?

I'm getting the I+ for my 325's, it's supposedly great with low impedance cans.

I heard that it suffers some major reliability issues, which is why I'm going for the v-dac now

Proud new member reporting in I'm gonna be ordering a v-dac and LD 1+ in a few days, I' psyched! Oh, and I did the "basshead" tape mod, and it's amazing.

Thanks for the replies. I can't wait to hear this!

I understand that the mkII has adjustable impedance setting, so would this make the mk's equal/better than the 1+s for driving grados? This is my final decision, I'll be placing the order soon.

I'm planning on running grado 325is's. Good combo? I chose the amp based on the price, and the fact that it was suited well for low impedance phones. And the dac based on the amazing reviews. Also, tell me if I'm right about this: 1) I would use a usb cable to connect the dac to my...

Good combo? I've heard that the ld I+ would handle low impedance phones better than the ldII or ldIII.

Fubar IV Special Edition How is it for a starter dac/amp"? I'm gonna run grado 325is with it

I'm on a budget, so I plan on getting a fubar III when I get my grados. Does this have enough power to drive them well?

There's a huge price difference, but is there also a huge sound difference? I'm really considering the 325s now because it would allow me to get a better amp, and save some $. Opinions?

I'm thinking about this combo for when I get my rs1is. I don't have too much to spend on the dac/amp, so would this still sound good? Thanks

I'm going to be in the city tomorrow, and I'd love to demo some headphones (more specifically grados). Can anyone give me some good places to check? Thanks

What would be considered the RS1is strong points vs the Alessandros?
