    FS: Campfire Audio Cascade Headphones

    Sorry everyone I'm a bit rusty and posted to the wrong forum. I'm the original owner, purchased from Campfire Audio in November of 2018. I upgraded the cable to the SXC8 3.5mm at purchase time and later added the SXC8 1/4inch 8-foot cable. The Cascade's come with everything as new, including...

    Need help configuring my first Stax Setup

      After a browsing through some of the Stax threads, I'm concluding (maybe in error) that if I'm are going to purchase the SR-007Mk2's, I need an amp like the BHSE or WES to drive them properly, unfortunately neither amp fits in the budget.   So, is it worth purchasing the SR-007MK2 and...

    Where can you purchase STAX equipment in the US ?

    I want to try the SR-007 / SRM-007t combination.  Do any of our Head-fi sponsors carry the Stax line and do they have a 30 day trial period?   thanks

    Luxman P1u or Rudistor RPX-300 or ?

    Time to compliment the SPL Auditor. I don't have much experience with Solid State amps... well amps in general - Hornet, Proton, Singlepower Supra (not sure it ever worked right) and the SPL Auditor. Current setup; MacBook --> Weiss AF1 --> Esoteric D-05 --> SPL Auditor --> Qualia 010 &...

    WooAudio WA22 vs WA5LE

    I'm finally ready to put the Singlepower fiasco behind me and purchase a new amp (to replace the dead and soon-to-be gone Supra). I'm looking at WooAudio's WA22 and WA5LE. Has anyone compared the two? Any thoughts on which one might match better with Qualia010's and soon to be purchased...

    Mikhail (Singlepower) you win...or maybe you're losing...

    Mikhail, that's right, you finally won, you wore me down, your wore my attorney down . You have successfully taken $5,700 in 2007 and never delivered anything - not an amp or a refund, and now, not even an email or a phone call. I've decided to stop throwing good money after bad. To stop the...

    Need to upgrade from UE Super.fi 5’s

    Primary use is on planes and in hotels, so they need to be closed, have some isolation and travel well – fold or something. I’ll be using them with an iMod 5G and Hornet . I would like to move away from IEM’s, tired of the constant adjustments – maybe the HE25-1 or the new Senn PXC 450. Your...

    Ugrade Supra or purchase new amp for Qualia 010?

    Any suggestions. I'm currently using a Supra to drive a pair of Qualia 010's. I've completed upgrading my source and cables and it's time for the amp. Mikhail is in the process of putting together the specs for an upgrade to the Supra but I was wondering what Qualia owners thought was the best...

    Suggestions to upgrade from HD650/BlueDragon

    I started my quest last December to build a headphone rig (loud music and home are not compatible). After much forum addiction etc… I purchased an Accustic Arts DAC 1 MK3 --> Singlepower Supra --> HD650/BlueDragon. I currently use a NAD C521BEE (digital out) as my transport. I’ve been staging...

    I'm looking to use dBpowerAMP Audio Player - any input?

    I'm looking to use dBpowerAMP audio player, Music converter and Sveta Portable Audio. I'll be running flac thru usb ASIO to an external DAC and using EAC for ripping. I gave foobar2000, Media Center 11 and MediaMonkey a quick look but prefer the lite-weight feel and component design of the...

    Is MediaCenter11 the best player to handle this?

    Ok, I’m ready to take the plunge. Here’s what I want to do. I have three players iPod (lossless), H120 (rockbox/flac) and Shuffle (aac), I will be using my notebook with Redwine’s USB Select as a transport feeding an external DAC. I will also use the H120 optical-out to feed the DAC. I currently...

    Bel Canto Dac + SinglePower MPX vs. Headroom Desktop Max w/ Max Dac & DPS

    I’m a newbie that has the fortunate opportunity to purchase both a home and office rig. It’s not exactly a cost-no-limit proposition, but I plan on making an investment. After many hours of reading threads and reviews, I think I’ve settled on the Bel Canto Dac / SinglePower MPX / Senn 650 for...
