Vancouver Head-Fi Meet 2014 @ Coal Harbour Centre - May 18 11AM-3PM!!   Latest News:  - Official date confirmed for Sunday May 18!***        ***Not confirmed yet but we'll see if we can make this a two-day thing with Pat Audio Arts sponsoring Saturday May 17 for those who can't make it on...

Simple question needing a simple answer. Would there be any possible sound degradation running a virtual machine via WMware?

I'm sure this has been talked about in previous threads, but let's be realistic here. Searching on Head-fi leads to countless unrelated topics or threads that have been dead for years now and I do not like grave digging. :) I would like to ask of you knolwedgeable people, what would happen to...

First off, I'd like to say that using the search function here at head-fi is like finding a book that you don't know the author to in a huge public library without the computer. :| I haven't really stumbled across many discussions about feeding the SR71B a balanced input signal during my...

I'd like to have a can just for bass that will overwhelm kids who have been listening to dre's. I do not care about care for treble or high-mids for these because I'll only be listening to my techno&dubstep playlist. Some examples of what I will be listening to: - Double dutch darkies - TNT...

So I just got this and I have a few questions for those who have this too. Which tracks do you prefer, what aspect of it, and why? I'd like to see different people's opinions on different tracks. They were encoded in DVD 6channel FLAC 24/48 but I had to covert them into 2channel ALAC for my...

Hey all, I need a portable DAC like the uDAC or Pico DAC, to use with a fullsized AND the 3A+16. How is the 3A's DAC? I would still like to consider the best price-performance ratio. Will be using RCA -> mini for signal feeding to an amp for the fullsized. Can anyone link me to a good cable...

So, I've used the search tool and can only find old threads from years ago.   So I ask of you guys this.     I ordered the W1000X from AT cuz they were upgrading my CK10s. Paid for them, and they said they're sending by UPS ground. I asked if they can send it with USPS and they said...

So my portable rig includes the AT W1000x. As whoever looks up on this fullsized cans, it's praised for its mids and overall balance. Good for vocal/classical/acoustic.     So I'm looking towards getting an IEM to take with me also.   I think it would be rather stupid of me to get the...

Alright, I guess I've decided on my rig.     iPod Touch 4G -> usb dock -> Cypherlabs Solo -> mini to mini -> Stepdance -> 1/4 to mini adapter -> W1000X     So, finally it boils down to cables.   I'm looking at ALO cables (adapter and mini to mini) and they're freaking expensive...

So I've been lurking around and I've come up with an imaginary build. Here it is:   iPod Touch 4G + LOD -> Stepdance -> W1000X or Cowon J3 HO -> Stepdance -> W1000X   Need True Line Out DAP. What has true LO? o_o I'm guessing RWA imod + Ipod 5g... and? :{ and Whipmod and WhipLOD. And...

So, recently my CK10s broke, and AT says I need to wait a month for Japan to send them new ones.   They also said I could replace them with AD900s. They just need my confirmation for them to send it out tomorrow.   What do you guys say? Think it's time I move on from IEM to full sized...

Hi,     Recently, I sent back my CK10s because they broke, and what AT is saying is it'll take AT japan a whole nother month to send new CK10s to them. I asked if they could replace it with M99s and they said no inventory and have excessive back orders on it as well. Can anyone suggest me...

So I've searched around the forums for anything related to the M1, and it seems it's on similar footing with the J3. Now, I'm not completely sure what I'm asking... but I just need some thoughts on Samsung's DNSe 3.0 by audiophiles. I've yet to listen to many other players but I'm thinking it's...

Alright, my last thread, I asked of you which I should get. It wasn't a smart question.   Now that I've had a very helpful discussion with someone, here's my new question; I sincerely need your opinions and suggestions. Thank you.       I'm going to be studying sound engineering next...

I've finally decided to buy a custom molded IEM after saving for months. I'm in the early stages of being an audiophile and have yet to be baptized by the holy music that spills out from each one of these gifts from God.   I listen to Ballad and KPop, but my preference is sad, slow songs...
