    CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread

    Anyone have issues where changing the volume knob produces really loud static in the left driver/speaker? It only happens while changing the volume, but it has me worried.

    CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread

    Hey guys, I'm considering getting a CX because the two free upgrades on the site that shall not be named are very tempting. How does the CX match up to the Audinst HUD-mx2, Fostex HP-A4, and Matrix Mini-i PRO? Those are the other all-in-ones that I'm considering, but I can only find limited...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I wouldn't entirely agree with this. I went from an Aune T1 and Amperex tube to an Asgard 2 Modi combo, and there's a pretty tangible difference. My headphones went from being extremely lush to somewhat neutral with a lot more detail, but there was an obvious tangible difference. Whether or not...

    Zero Audio - ZH-DX200 Carbo Tenore | ZH-DX210 Carbo Basso (Carbon & Aluminium IEM) thread

    Man, I'm so ready to drop $50 on these, but the QC issues have me really worried. Would you guys recommend holding off on these until they can sort the balance issues out?

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I owned the HD600 and I actually found it rather uncomfortable solely due to the clamping force. Maybe I just have a big head.

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    This might be a shot in the dark, but one of the obvious selling points of the HE-400i aside from the sound is the comfort. Does anyone have experience with the 400i and the AD900? Those are the first high-end headphones I bought, and their comfort still can't be matched by any other can, even...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Those look efficient, although this also seems to provide enough space;     I just wish I knew where to find them.   Edit: Perhaps here? http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=spike

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Can you guys recommend some cool-looking spikes / rubber feet to place on the bottom of my amp?

    New Schiit Lyr: Hybrid 6W Headphone Amp. Yes. Six. Watts. RMS.

    I'm planning on purchasing the Lyr 2 and two Amperex 7308 gold pins to go with the to-be-released HE-400i, but is a Modi a suitable DAC, or is it worth the extra $250 / $320 (with uber analog) to get the Bifrost? Seems like a huge jump in price for something that just happens to be the same size...

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    Has anyone compared these to the HE400? That's what I currently have, and I was thinking about upgrading to the HE400i/560, but these caught my eye.   I'm mostly looking for comfort, soundstage, and subbass (love the HE400), and price isn't an issue.

    Cool. I understand that I don't need the amp for volume purposes, but I've read a bunch of complaints about the Aune's amp.

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    Hey guys. I'm using the Aune T1 with an amperex 7308 gold pin and an HE-400. Is it worth adding a Magni or Vali to the setup? If so, which one? Thanks!

    Magni or Vali with an HE-400?

    Hey guys. I currently have an Aune T1 and am using an Amperex OG 7308 gold pin tube with it. While browsing a few of the threads, I've noticed that some people are saying the Aune's amplifier isn't "powerful" enough. I'm not sure if they're talking about the volume or the characteristic sound of...

    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    Hey guys, I'm about to get a Crack and have a quick question. I'm using an Aune T1 with an Amperex OG 7308 tube right now. From my quick googling, it looks like the 7308 isn't compatible, so what tubes (around or under $100) would you guys suggest with the Crack as an upgrade, mainly focusing on...

    I bought the PK2 DIY because it was the same price as the regular PK3. I'll let you know if I pick up the PK3 DIY in the future so that I can compare them.

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Hmm. I'm tempted to sell my HD600 and HE400 to get the 400i. Does anyone know if the 400 velour pads would fit the 400i?

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    Hey guys. I'm gonna be going on a road trip soon and would like to take my Aune with me. Is there a decent case out there that will protect it without having to remove the tube? Maybe cut this ( http://www.amazon.com/Zeikos-ZE-HC18-Deluxe-small-photo/dp/B001T9N12U ) down to size? Thanks!

    Yuin PK3 Impressions Thread

    Hey guys, I just ordered a PK3 and am slightly concerned about the durability issues. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this, such as putting some electric tape over certain parts of the cable, or should I just use them as-is and RMA them them they break.   Speaking of which, how...

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    So after searching Amperex 6Dj8 on eBay, there are some results where the tubes are as low as $14 and some where they are $25+. The cheap ones have the logos worn off, and some of them look different. A user in this thread suggested the Amperex OG 6Dj8/ECC88 GAC, but are all of these tubes the...

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    The only USB drivers are USB 3 and all of my devices are running on USB 2.   I don't think the device is drawing too much power considering the fact that I have a 760W PSU and they're plugged directly into the mobo ports.   I'll attempt this on my laptop later tomorrow. If it doesn't work...

    Unfortunately that did not work. I changed all of my USB devices around and still either the Yeti doesn't work, or the Aune doesn't work. The recording devices tab only freezes when the Aune is active.

    Alright Headfi, I seem to be having a very unique problem.   Album for reference = http://imgur.com/a/k4x7A   So, I got my Aune about a week ago. Everything's working perfectly, but today I ran into a bit of an issue. Before you ask, yes, I restarted my computer twice. Whenever I have my...

    I think I'll just buy the base kit now and the speedball later. Like a lot of others, I don't have any soldering experience, but I plan on calling my dad and spending an evening or two working on this with him. Does it matter what type of solder you use? Since I'm sure he doesn't have the...
