Interestingly, I switched USB inputs on my iMac and problem solved. Odd though. To answer your question, I use Pure Music with iTunes.

Update to last post. I restarted the computer and the Burson. Now when I select 96 it stays on 96 but no sound plays out of the computer. When I switch to 48 or 44.1 it plays again. The Burson is supposedly capable of 96/24 via USB and I'm sure at one point this worked fine. I'm not sure what is...

My 160D has stopped outputting 96khz via USB .. when I select 96 in audiomidi setup on my mac I hear a clicking sound in the Burson and then it automatically resets to 44.1. Same thing happens if I select 48khz. At one time I was able to play 96khz via Burson. Anyone have any ideas? I've emailed...

Quote: Westone asked me if I had 'lost weight' after they looked at my phones that I recently sent back for a remold. I'm 9 months into ownership and even though I just got around to sending them back now the fit in my left ear has been terrible for several months now. I actually did lose...

Quick question: I just sent my ES5's back to Westone for a left-sided re-fit as it had become loose and lost its seal gradually over the first year or ownership. Since I'm well beyond my 90 day grace period they are charging me $175 for the refit on only one earpiece. I was a bit shocked by the...

Thanks for noticing my Eigenharp Alpha. I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones in the US. I can tell you that it is one of the most remarkable instruments I have ever seen. It is literally infinitely modifiable and supremely expressive. And unlike your average keyboard controller, this...

  Rush Moving Pictures in 5.1 Surround on Blu-ray ... amazing.

Quote: I'm also in NYC and was wondering who your audiologist was? I saw Joe Montano at Weill Cornell ENT and he got the fit right with the ES5's on the first shot. I'd be curious to know how yours does as it would be great to compile a list of the best NYC audiologists.  

Here is my rig for making and listening to music ...  

Quote: I recently upgraded from HDP to the Burson 160D. The DAC's are comparable in sound but the Burson offers much more power to my LCD-2's and D7000's. For instance, 11:00 on the Burson hi-gain input is equal to about 3:30 or 4:00 on the HDP in the vertical position (and this is...

Quote: If you are in NYC then check out Joe Montano at Weill Cornell ENT on the Upper East Side. I got mine there, perfect fit the first time around .. couldn't be happier, great professional service.

Quote: This is incredible in 24/96 from HDTracks .. highly recommended.  

I pre-ordered on November 21 and just got the email to buy today .. so it is a full 2 months of waiting at this point. I am so glad I paid a substantial premium buying them from ALO with their cable. I'm not a firm believer in cables but I am a firm believer in time management .. and I have been...

Quote: Crimson is amazing .. but if you are a true ProgLover then the best place to start with KC is the Bruford/Wetton years. Starless & Bible Black, Red, and Larks Tongues in Aspic are the progiest albums (all KC albums are prog, but if you like Yes, Genesis, Rush, Tull, ELP, Gentle Giant...

I just got impressions made, a hearing test, and ordered Westone ES5's through the audiology group at Weill Cornell Medical Center  (http://www.weillcornell.org/jjmontano). Joseph Montano, the chief audiologist is a great guy and the office is very well run with pleasant staff and hi-tech...

I just received the LCD-2's (with ALO cable) and they are quite remarkable, much much better than the HD650's (old driver and with Cardas cable) in terms of realism and everything else for that matter. My Denon D7000's however surprisingly hold their own against the LCD-2's, and at times I...

I've been listening to a lot of stuff tonight .... comparing the LCD-2 to the Denon D7000 to the Westone ES5 ... all 3 incredible with individual strengths (but that is for another thread). But the songs that have impressed the most tonight:   Rush: YYZ Rage Against The Machine: Killing...

I got my ES5's today, only 2 weeks after getting my impressions made. They are stellar right out of the box with and without an amp. I was a bit worried about the bass but after hearing my reference Rush tunes my fears were gone, the bass is fantastic.   So far the fit seems perfect, they...

I was dead set on getting the JH16 Pros up until the release of the ES5. I LOVE bass impact and assumed (without hearing them) that the 16's were the perfect custom for me. But, frankly, after reading about all the seal problems, refits and comfort issues I started to second guess customs, and...

Quick question about the ES5's ... is the profile slim enough to lie on your side on a pillow without causing pain/eardrum damage? And if so, does it affect the seal adversely? It would be great to be able to fall asleep with these on. I do believe the JH's are capable of this although I would...

I would attend this for sure. Would be my first meet.

for the HD650 pads (1 pair please)
