Schiit-stack and the 400's is my setup at the office. LOVE IT!

Alice in Chains - Unplugged

Got mine today... ERGHMYGAWD!!!!  My ears are in love.

Burning in new HE-400s... RATM - RATM

Quote: I second that.  The originals don't come close to be "around-ear" for me.

Mine are in, and I have about 36 hours of burn-in on them.  All I can say is WOW!  EARGASM!  

Quote: Thanks for the info.  I can get my hands on a CMOY to play with, and for the $20-$25 I'll probably just order an E5 to play with as well.  I'll probably just drive myself nuts listening for differences (and not getting work done!)

I have a pair in the mail. Should I get an E07k or will the iPod touch be enough?

Quote: IIRC, there were only 3 or so 'in stock" from the merchant, so I guess they've all been snagged.

Just picked up dt-1350s for $175 ($183 out the door) from amazon, but it seems the stock was quite low. YMMV.

Thread Necromancy... again... held onto the last  $100, now getting another bonus 100.  They're both Visa check cards, so they can be used pretty much anywhere. Do I reshell TF10's or do something else completely?

Quote: Well, I DO have another $100 gift card this year, so, the suggestion box is yet again ajar!

Quote: I just threw-up in my mouth 

Quote:   Mine came apart in < 1 year.  Nothing that some super-glue couldn't fix, though.  Nothing was actually damaged, they just came "un-glued" at a seam in the housing.  Today you cannot even tell it happened, but I, for one, wouldn't say they're not going to break.  Maybe, like the...

Quote:   In for 1 pair of the Citiscape Uptowns.  If they sound decent, I'll be using them a TON at work, since I have about 8 hours a week of conference calls on my Galaxy Nexus, and I'm getting tired of taking off my 'phones.

Quote: Those FA-004's look beautiful!

Quote: If I remember correctly one was an older IBM Thinkpad.  I just remember being able to hear the fan rev-up from across the room.  The thing made enough heat to make you sterile if you left it on your lap for too long!  

Quote: I've had 13.3" laptops that were capable of producing shocking amounts of noise.

Quote: First, awesome rig.  I have a Zune 30, but for some reason haven't bitten on the LOD yet (YET!).  For those interested, the Zune LOD discussion really start here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/411589/zune-lod/15#post_6754242, and while the ebay link there is old, there are still some...

Quote: According to Fostex's literature, in this case you are correct. They use the 30-pin connector to get at the digital signal, feeding it into the HP-P1's USB input, so this isn't an LOD.  It's a digital connector to bypass the iPod's DAC, using the HP-P1's instead.  

Quote: Not sure about the DAC in the ipad2, but with some external USB DACs (not sure if it's tested on the E17) you can use the Camera Connection kit to bypass the DAC+ HP AMP altogether and send the digital signal to a USB DAC directly.  I think you'd have to set the E17 to not charge...

Thanks!

Quote: I wonder if this is an issue of either Fiio not anticipating the demand and, therefore, not ramping-up production quickly enough, or Fiio's suppliers having issues meeting demand, effecting the supply chain all the way through to mp4nation.  Kinda reminds me of the Nintendo Wii...
