Hey there,   I use the 225's, and as far as being able to hear the difference, lots of people can't.  Sure, theoretically a FLAC file should be higher quality, but many people can't hear much of a difference between lossless files like that and a high quality (192-356) mp3.     If you...

Thanks for the help, I installed foobar2000 and have just tried using it with that skin, it looks good!

Thanks for the reply, I never looked more closely at foobar to see that it was skinable.   Any chance anyone knows of a skin that has the McIntosh Labs look?  I saw they have an iPhone app now, and it looks great, but functionality is a little rough.

Hey everyone, quick question.  I have looked around a little bit, and not found anything so far, but I am looking for a music player for windows (7) that has a slick GUI like Fidelia does for OS X.  Any ideas?   I know there are lots of recommendations for players like foobar2000 etc, but I...

I listened to all three back-to-back when I bought my 225s, and I thought the 225s sounded noticeably better than the 125s to my ears, but I did not hear a difference between the 225 and 325 models.  I think the 325s feel nicer, and the build quality might be worth the extra money, but I didn't...

Quote:   Hey CABILLAS, did you make those aluminum cups?  They look very nice.    

In regards to running the wire into one cup like that, I guess you wouldn't need to have a plug/jack there, though it does add convenience.  With the jack, though, since you are adding more "stuff" into what used to be open space behind the driver would this have an impact on the sound?  I...

I love the bowl pads on my 225's, I find them, and the headphones in general, to be super comfortable.  I like them much more than my Sony over ear phones.

Just bought a set of Grado SR225's, and have to say I am a big fan!  Glad to be a part of the Grado club now!

I think it sounds like a pretty tempting design, and for a similar price as a CMOY design, or some of the Fiio amps that have been pretty well reviewed I'll probably plan to make one once the boards are available.

I think the bithead does have a really nice place in the market, but as someone who is looking to spend about that much money right now, I'll tell you what I'm looking for, and the few things that are making other options looks appealing as well. 1. rechargeable battery - I really do think...

Hi everyone, I have been reading around for a while, and I am hoping to get some opinions from you. Right now I have a pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ that I got a few years back for some light DJ'ing use. I also have a small pair of in-ear Skullcandy phones that were very inexpensive. I typically...

Oops, I just realized I didn't post this in the portable amps section, can someone move this for me? Thanks!
