I've been toying with the idea of getting custom IEM for a long time. But they tend to be expensive. CustomArt Massdrop Exclusive - Ei.XX CIEM - $629.99 Is this the answer? Or is there something else I should consider? I'd love to spend less and I'm willing to spend more if it will satisfy me...

The X3 is set to DAC mode when plugged into USB and it works fine with a computer, but when I use and OTG cable to plug it into my Samsung 2014 note 10.1, the X3 goes in and out of DAC mode continuously every few seconds and sound plays through the speakers on the tablet.  Has anyone gotten this...

Has anyone tried to use a Sennheiser HD-800 with an X3?  I already have the X3, a friend is offering me a great deal on the HD-800s.  I'm guessing it wouldn't work very well...  I pretty much only use headphones at work and I can't leave anything on the desk when I leave because it is shared...

I've got a set of Fostex T50RP that I could cannibalize to build some DIY cans, but I'm intrigued with the AMT / FMT I've heard.  The Martin Logan or Goldring speakers I've heard are pretty nice.  ...

I have a Kindle Fire HD that I'm using at work, it has a Micro-HDMI (micro-D connector) output on it.  I'm wondering if there's a portable headphone amp / dac combo that will take this input?  Or is there an adapter that will give me a USB output?  I have an iBasso D7 that would be good to use...

Finally got an estimated delivery date from Amazon for the Phillips Uptown's I ordered:  May 7th to 11th.

Only the vmoda m-80 and the Philips Citiscape seem to make direct claims about noise isolation.  I work in a big computer lab with lots of people and machines, I want to drown it all out and just hear my music.  The Sennheiser Amperior with their milled aluminium cups might be good at blocking...

Just received a Hifiman EF2A a couple days ago.  It worked fine on one computer for several hours, but then tried it on my laptop and just now on my work PC and I'm finding that it works for a few mins and then the music stops abruptly and loud white noise fills my ears.  So it seems like the...

I'm interested in a headphone amp with USB DAC for use at work with my Grado SR-225's.  I think I'd enjoy something more with tubes than something portable, but I've read a lot of good things about the iBasso offerings vs some of the more popular desktop budget / entry level amps.  I might get...

What's up with the price change on this?  I was thinking about buying one the other day for $28, but now it's $111.  What happened?

While I'm at work, I spend most of 8 hours with headphones on.  I've got a cheap, older tower PC that I work on.  The audio is clear and easy to understand, but doesn't inspire.  I'm looking for a headphone amp that I can plug into the USB and use as a DAC.   I'll mostly use Grado SR-225's...
