I'm thinking about the next upgrade for my work rig. I used to have what's now my home rig (DAC-1/Zu/HD650) at work, but I've since changed jobs and now work in closer proximity my neighbours. The HD650s leak too much sound when working in close-quarters -- plus I don't want to give them up...

I've been away from Head-Fi for a while (work!) and happened to check the PS Audio site. I see that they *finally* released their DAC -- the Digital Link III. I got tired of waiting and got a nice silver DAC-1 which I've been greatly enjoying (balanced to my HD650s). Has anybody tried the...

Since the iRiver h1xx series has been discontinued, are there any currently available portable DAPs with digital out? I.e., something that could be used standalone or with a DAC?

My long-awaited silver DAC-1 finally arrived. I couldn't wait to get it hooked up to the Edirol UA-1EX I bought to go along with it. I'm running optical from the Edirol to the DAC-1. The Edirol is producing analog out, no problem. Hooking the optical cable up, and I get laser light through...

OK, I'm on vacation and just bought a PSP. Of course, I want to upgrade the stock Sony buds, since I'm sure they're not the greatest. This will be unamped for now, although I have an older HR Airhead at home that I forgot to bring. I'm looking for an upgrade I can buy locally (Nanaimo area on...

I've mentioned in a few threads here and there that PS Audio is working on a new DAC, with USB input. It's been delayed for a while, but I just saw this update on the PS Audio member discussion board. Hopefully Paul won't mind me posting it here: Quote: Originally Posted by Paul McGowan...

I'm considering my upgrade options and am thinking of either HD580 or HD650 cans with a new amp. The Gilmore Lite and Corda HA1 MKII both seem to be well regarded. The Gilmore Lite is $300 + $175 for the optional PS. The Corda is $450. Also the Gilmore V2 is only a little further out at $550...

I've been lurking for a while and am about ready for an upgrade. I do my headphone listening at work. I've got a low-end (but not terrible) setup now on my corporate PC: Foobar2K (FLAC or MP3 VBR max quality) -> USB -> Xitel HiFi-Link AN1 -> Headroom Airhead (2003) -> Senn HD497...
