    Now that I have money to spend...

    I'm looking for a new pair of headphones.  I currently own a pair of ATH-M50s, and they sound wonderful.  I have the cash and want to upgrade.  For example, I recently tried B&O H8s.  Although they were wireless, they left me underwhelmed in terms of sound quality.  A little lacking in the...

    Any DAPs with Bluetooth that are NOT Android or iOS based?

    I'm in the market for a new DAP, but I have some weird requirements.  I currently have a Sony NW-ZX1.  Although it has Bluetooth, it is Android based.  I no longer want a DAP that is Android or iOS based.  I'd like Bluetooth so I can play audiobooks in my car, which does not have a line in or CD...

    Upgrading from ATH-M50

    I've been using an ATH-M50 headphone for quite a while now, and although I like them, I'd like to push the limits of what I can do with my Sony NW-ZX1 and PHA-2 amp.  I understand I need something efficient to use with this amp.  I have IEMs and I prefer headphones with over the ear design. ...

    Can I do better than a (future) Sony NW-ZX1 player and PHA-2 amp, with some type of new headphones?

    I have some ATH-M50 head phones, which work well with my iPhone.  I am in the process of re-ripping everything I have into FLAC, and I'm looking for recommendations on a complete setup (audio player, amp, and new headphones).  The HD800's seem a little too expensive, but are close to the quality...

    Ripping to FLAC with a Mac

    I'm just getting started in higher end audio, and while I wait for the new Sony NW-ZX1 to arrive in the US, I thought I would re-rip my CDs into FLAC.  I'm going for the best sound possible.     However, from what I can tell, the programs to rip audio on a Mac are not that great.  I'm...

    Can I get more from my ATH-M50s?

    I have a new pair of ATH-M50S headphones, which sound great.  Great when connected to my iPhone, but really weak when connected to my iPad.  How can I properly drive these things to get the best sound out of them?  Do I need to use a computer and/or amp or DAC?  I'll go the next step since I...

    Upgrade needed for listening in the evening.

    I have a pair of Sony MDR-7506 closed headphones and would like to get back into listening to some new music in the evening. First, I want a decent upgrade from what I have, preferably closed design so I don't bother my wife. My budget is $100-300 or so, but is flexible. I was looking at the...
