    Sonarworks Calibation Profiles with other headphones

    I've been using Sonarworks Reference 4, and own many of the headphones for which they provide profiles. However I do have some that are unsupported. I just recently noticed that the Marshall Monitor profile provides really good sound when applied to my Martin Logan Micros 70 in-ears. Has...

    Shure SE535 and Ultimate Ears UE900S

    A set of UE900S's have become available locally for $150 and my natural inclination to "collect things" is tugging at me.  I already own the Shure SE535 and was wondering if anyone had the opportunity to compare the two.  I'd like to know if the Shures are just that much better and if I should...

    Exchange cables between Shure SE215 and 425?

    425 cables keep cutting out.  Was wondering if 215 cables would fit.

    iBasso DX-50 as USB audio/DAC

    OK, maybe I'm deaf... I used the following audio interfaces on my computer: iBasso DX-50 (USB) Radio Shack DA-710 DAC (optical connector) Steinberg UR-12 (USB) Internal Realtek ALC892 audio out The outputs of all these were fed (one at a time) to the line input of a Parasound PHP-850 preamp...

    Tascam US-366 for Computer Audio

    I'm thinking of taking the optical output from my motherboard and plugging it into a Tascam US-366 optical in. The specs on the Tascam say it's 192K/24 bit compatible. The outputs of the Tascam would then go to a Parasound PHP-850 preamp and then to the amp section of a Mac 1900 receiver which...

    B&W C5 Series 2 - Worth the price of upgrade?

    I currently own the original B&W C5 and have a sort of love/hate relationship with them.  I love the clarity and definition of the highs, but I hate the horribly bloated, murky low end.  I have tried on many occasions to acclimate to them with no luck, they are just too bassy.  If I don't seat...

    Tag sale find...my new headphone amp...

    Heh, heh...   Meet my new headphone amp - a Mac (McIntosh) 1900 solid state receiver.  A hundred bucks at a local church tag sale.  In great condition, except for the missing buttons (which I have ordered), and sounds marvelous.  Even the wood cabinet is in very good shape.  This thing is...

    Bit Rate and Depth limitations in source gear

    I just found out that even though Wolfson DACs can handle 96/24 and beyond, the Android OS is hard wired to 44.1/16.  Any higher rate stuff is resampled down.  Does anyone know if the Sandisk Clip Zip suffers the same fate?  Are there any portables that actually output high bite rate stuff...

    Martin Logan Mikros 70 Review

    It’s been a long-standing dream of mine to own a pair of Martin Logan speakers, and to have a listening room that would do them justice. Sadly, that may never happen, so when I saw that they were selling in-ears at a reasonable price I got excited.   Out of the box, I stuck the Mikros 70s in...

    About to pull the trigger on a pair of Sony MDR-EX600s

    Anyone want to talk me out of it?   I've got a couple of hours to decide, after that it won't be here before Christmas.   All the reviews have been generally positive, but then I saw this one...   http://www.headphoneinfo.com/content/Sony-MDR-EX600-In-Ear-Headphone-Review.htm  ...
