    Pairing: HD600 or HD650 with the HiFiman HE-560

    I have an HE-560 and an HD600 with a broken driver. I want to keep my HD600 as a companion to the HE-560, but I can choose to get either a single new HD600 driver ($70.90 each) or two new HD650 drivers ($50.23 each). It would cost about $30 more to get HD650 drivers over the single HD600 driver...

    HD600 owner looking to buy some orthos

    Hello HeadFiers,   It's been a while since I've posted. My last major audio purchase was a Bifrost/Asgard/HD600 (first version for the Schiit) about two years ago. I'm thinking about upgrades/sidegrades and am wondering what direction I should move in. I really like my HD600 and think I will...

    No grounding on DAC and amp?

    I wasn't sure the best place to post this, but I thought it would be okay here.   Over the Summer I will have no ground on my outlets. Should I not plug in my Schiit DAC and amp? I'd really like to be able to use them...   What are the risks?

    Best IEMs for "naked" iTouch/iPhone

    So I'm looking to get a good set of IEMs for going directly out of my iTouch (possibly soon to be iPhone). Right now I have the ADDIEMs, but I'm looking for something with a little better sound. My home system is Bifrost -> Asgard -> HD600 and I'd like something that sounded similar (but lower...

    Upgrade uDAC to Schiit Bifrost?

    I purchased a Schiit Asgard and a Sennheiser hd600 last week. I'm wondering how much of a difference it would make to upgrade my uDAC to a Schiit Bifrost. I'm assuming that it would have good synergy with the other two components since the Schiit products are built around the hd600s.   Now...

    hd600 + Schiit Asgard?

    I have been debating whether I should buy an amp and, if I upgrade, what kind of amp I should get. This has gone on for a few months, so I now bring my question to everyone at Head-Fi. First however, I would like to give some background into what I want my setup to sound like. I included as much...

    Looking for somewhat neutral headphones for music making and general use.

    I'm currently using Alessandro MS1s, which are fine for general music use, but I have a hard time using them when messing with softsynths on the computer for hours on end because the sounds they make are very bright. I also feel like I'm not hearing the sounds properly when I make them so my...

    Headphones to complement my Alessandro MS1i

    I have had my Alesandro MS1i's since around April and I'm looking for something a little better for movies. I'm not really sure what qualifies a good movie headphone, but I would assume good soundstage is a start. Clarity is important to me in general. Also, I don't really watch action movies...

    IEMs without the "stepping noise"

    Are there any IEMs out there that don't make thudding sounds in your ear with each step you take or is that just a limitation of in ear products? I currently use the ADDIEMs and I can't really tolerate that sound when walking.   I don't really have a problem with microphonics though. They're...

    New MS1 has distortion coming from one driver

    I have had my MS1 for about two weeks now. I've been loving it, but the right driver gets some kind of static/fizz/distortion when playing mid to low notes. It is most apparent from 65-130 Hz, but is audible from very low to 260 Hz. Does anyone know the problem or (even better), possible...

    DAC and USB extensions

    I'd like a little more length from my laptop to my headphones. Are USB extension cables pretty much all fine for the job? I'm using the nuforce uDAC if that makes any difference. I found http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/us...uality-364565/, which seems to lean more toward the cable not...

    uDAC volume control

    First off: I know that it's best to leave all the volume controls on the computer on max when using a DAC. However, when I use IEMs with my new uDAC, the right channel is significantly quieter than the left until the volume is above a certain level. I would prefer the volume to be quieter...

    uDAC availability?

    The uDAC has been unavailable from Amazon for quite some time now. Is there another place that one can buy a uDAC? Or do I just need to wait it off? Alternatively, how does the icon mobile compare to the uDAC? (I would probably use it almost exclusively for USB, so the line in isn't much...

    Solution to poor SQ from laptop jack?

    My laptop's headphone jack doesn't output good sound at all. I'm not a major audiophile, but the white noise at low levels and the poor frequency response is pretty bad. (I've only tried it with IEMs; I don't have any full size headphones worth more than $5.) Anyway, I'm looking for some sort...

    Another "help me pick some new headphones" thread

    I am currently using the iPod's stock headphones, and want to get something better. NONE of my music is lossless, probably 192kbps MP3 average. I usually run my iPod's line out through the Logitech Z-2300 (yes, I know). I listen mostly to a wide range of electronic music (from jungle to chiptune...
