I'm trying to make up my mind with what to replace my Sennheiser 660S2 as I find them to be fine but extremely unspectacular. Comfort is very important and I also have a good cable for the Hifiman which I bought on a whim some years ago so I'm deciding between these two models, the HE1000...

Hi! I've got a slight suspicion that my cans have a driver mismatch at some (lower) frequencies. It's been driving me crazy for a week :-D Now I'd like to measure it at home without any professional equipment. I have an audyssey microphone which came with my AVR and a notebook (Mac, Linux...

Can anyone recommend a DAC+Amp unit with (preferably with a remote) for Ether C Flow SYMMETRICAL? I've been looking at Oppo HA-1 which seems like the greatest looking unit on the market with amazing feature set an a remote control however I've read that the pairing with the Ethers is too bright...

Hi, I think I settled at having both TH900 and Sennheiser HD800 as my cans and now am considering Fostex HP-A8C as DAC/Amp combo to drive both. Will I be regretting this? I assume the fostex amp is great for fostex cans (anything else would be absurd) so my question is actually if anyone has...

Hi! I'm trying to decide which one to buy to supplement my Denons 7000. Any suggestions? Or shall I buy both HD800 and T1 :-) I did try both of them and actually liked both. However listening to HD800 i had a clear thought that I was listening to something really special. HD800 was also more...

Europe seems to s... big time when it comes to gear.   I have two questions: Can anyone suggest if some dealer offers Audio-GD gear in Europe? I'm going to be using balanced 5.2 DAC from Audio GD with NFB6 as HP amp and with LCD2. Where can I find a balanced cable for LCD2? (i can't do...

Can you say that DACs based on Sabre ES9018 should be favoured over other configurations like WM8741 and PCM1704UK? I kinda keep reading over and over again that this Sabre chip is currently the best affordable DAC-chip.   Reason is, I've just ordered Audio GD DAC 5.2 and started reading...

Hello,   can anyone suggest, if buying Audio GD DAC NFB 17.2 + NFB-6 would be an upgrade from Audiolab MDAC. It would cost roughly the same. I'm going to use with with LCD2 and probably either HD800 or T1 in the future. I currently have Audio GD Fun, which cost less than half of Audiolab...

Hello guys,   I've recently purchased the LCD 2.2 which I do actually like. Now I only have an Audio GD Fun at the moment. I would say it has enough power to drive LCD, because the volume is at 12 o'clock max. I would actually want to upgrade and have been kinda lost as to what I should...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a not very expensive solution (DAC with Headphone amp) for use in the office. My current headphones will be Sony MDR-CD900ST. In fact I'd be happy with the sound from the onboard sound card but they have a big jack and I'm not sure the cable length will be sufficient...

I was looking for a pair of quality speakers for my computer table and someone in the shop adviced to me try a pair of near field monitors with a Sub. I had no clue and bought them: Adam A3X and Sub 7. Now after a month I know the difference between Studio and Hi-Fi and also what "near field"...

Hi everyone! I've been recently trying to find a pair of closed headphones for pure musical enjoyment and still didn't succeed.  I've ordered, tried and send back:   - B&W P5 Incredible build quality and very comfortable. Treble doesn't exist at all (I've tried the mods I found here)...
