No I'm using a MacBook Pro without a fusion drive. The issue I had with my ODAC appears to have been resolved after a few Mavericks updates.

Greetings everyone, I recently switched from a windows based PC to a Mac running Mavericks (OSx 10.9). From the beginning, I noticed some very obvious clicking and static during music playback. My set up is, and always has been, Computer > ODAC > O2 > headphones. Music playback was...

At first glance I thought those were shoe laces. But it could be just me..

Does the black (no mic) cable have memory wire at the ear hooks?

Quote: The E09 has a rather high output impedance of 10 ohms, making it unsuitable for use with more sensitive headphones. Generally, you'd want to have the impedance of the headphones to be at least 8x that of the amp's output impedance, hence the term '1/8th rule'. Anything less would...

With regards to output impedance, the two amps with the highest output impedance measured are the Beyerdynamic A1 and Alo International which have an output impedance of 99 and 21 ohms respectively. Does anyone know why those amps are designed as such? Wouldn't a high output impedance make it...

The latest Astell & Kern DAP, the AK120, utilizes two DAC chips instead of one. And according to the manufacturer, it offers the following benefits.    The AK120 not only meets the standards of Hi-Fi audio, but also utilizes two DACs (digital to analog converters) maximizing the dual-mono...

With regards to the LCD2 and amp recommendation, I observed that most if not all the reviews on amp pairing were purely subjective. I realized that in the LCD2 amp recommendation thread itself, the perceived sonic quality has a strong correlation with the price of the amps used in the reviews...

...not to mention threads that criticize the sponsors are shut down real quick...

Hang around summit fi and cables forum too long and your wallet will do precisely that

The pics are fine, thanks heaps! At least now we know that the case fits the t1. And i agree that the design can be improved with a detachable cable.

Do you mind showing me a picture of the headphones in the case? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the t1s fit in this case? http://www.slappa.com/HardBody-PRO-Full-Size-Headphone-case

And if you ever find yourself in need of laughter, just drop by the cable forum. The things that those cable folks believe in are quite hilarious

Thanks for the added information. I have a question regarding how the calculations work. Take for instance the Beyerdynamic T1, which is rated at 600 ohms. Why did you base the calculations on a 730 ohm impedance?

Thanks for the great work. Could you also include these models from beyerdynamic? I've provided the links below so you won't have to go searching for it.   T 70 - http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/at-home/music-pleasure/t-70.html T1  ...

What are your thoughts on audible differences between amps and Dacs that are made to spec? Please enlighten us.

I suppose what you're trying to say is that all audibly transparent equipment should theoretically sound the same? The headphone out on my laptop computer had audible hiss when no music was playing, hence my reason for getting a dac and amp that are both audibly transparent. It's safe to...
