So I bit the bullet on the release of the Massdrop x Hifiman Bolt, and I might have been one of the absolute few who actually liked it. Anyways this really isn't about what so much of the people out there hate about the Bolt, it's a starting point for what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find...

So I've been involved in multiple forums that have their own set of acronyms everyone is expected to just know, but not everyone does, and everyone who is new has to learn this new set of acronyms. Even after all these years of being a head-fi member, today I found one here which I wasn't quite...

So, simply put I was wondering, is mini XLR more durable than a 3.5mm jack?  I came upon thinking about this because of the new Fostex T50RP's.  I saw a review of a modded pair, in which the reviewer actually had a channel issue with one of the stock cables, though it worked fine with the vmoda...

Edit:Just putting this here so newcomers to the thread know I already made my decision, read through if you'd like though. /Edit   So recently my NFB-15.32(early 2013 model) has been having some random static here and there, and now shuts off completely after maybe a few hours of use.  Since...

EDIT: I've posted a new thread, made up my mind and decided to start looking into a new setup(dac and amp or combo).   Sorry, I know it's a long post.   So I've been getting sporadic static out of my Audio-gd NFB-15.32.  It seems to happen after a while of being on, probably after it reaches...

So I was helping a friend find a DAP recently, and the one thing that was bugging me is trying to remember a company that was often recommended some maybe 4-6 years ago(hard to believe it might be that long now) here on head-fi.  For a reasonably priced DAP it was always the sansa clip, and...

I've had my ATH-M50's for quite some time now, and this past summer the sweat caused by the pleather pads got quite obnoxious at times.  I know I can get cloth pads or do mods, but I'm also just looking to get into a new pair of cans, gain more experience...and maybe have a slight upgrade.   I...

I have an audio-gd nfb-15.32, and long story short, USB is out of the question.  I've tried troubleshooting it to the point of wanting to pull my hair out, and experienced issues with USB with it before.  Along with attempting to send it in for any possible repair, it never arriving, but being...

For some time now I've used yes.com whenever I wanted to know the name of a song I heard on the radio.  Or even just to remind myself of a song I heard earlier, maybe even knew the name, but now forgot what it was.  Sadly though now yes.com is gone, and what I really liked about it is you could...

I've been looking for some time now to replace my soundcard which died months ago now.  I figured it was the perfect excuse for me to look into getting a dac/amp or combo of a dac and amp.  Currently I'm using the M50's and I know they don't need amping, but I'd like to get a better dac than...

I've got these sony IEMs that I bought a while back when I didn't know much about headphones at all.  All I really know about them is they are sony and costed around $30 when I got them.  I was hoping someone here could tell me what model they are.

A while back my I-trigue L3800 stopped working.  The only way to get them working now is to hold(/push) the cord into the AC adapter.  I've sent Creative an email about it and they obviously copy pasted something saying all parts come as a set, so they'd be unable to sell me a power cable.  I'd...
