I'm posting this to share my positive experience with Koala Audio Cables from Australia. I recently bought the Arya and wanted a 4.4 balanced cable in longer than typical length. Over the years I have tried many cable makers you will know by name, and experienced varied levels of satisfaction...

This IEM was announced autumn 2015 and was just released here in Japan a couple of weeks ago.  The build is all metal and includes a removable 4-pole cable. I demo`d them today for an extended period and they sounded impressive.  I need to get a set home for a quiet-time A/B comparison against...

I`ve just found this amplifier :    It translates as being a current feedback amplifier, run by 4 AAA batteries.  Looks kind of interesting but I have no idea what it means.      Anyone ?

Feast your eyes on these beasts I came across in an audiophile shop in Tokyo yesterday....            

I`ve just read this short article on ripping SACD and DVD-A:      http://apple.it-enquirer.com/2012/03/06/ripping-and-playing-high-fidelity-cds/     The author seems to claim he rips SACD with Fidelia, specifically in this paragraph:   " Ordinary CDs I convert using iTunes with its...

I just created my account and am looking forward to what this site can provide in DSD or other high res downloads. . .     If anyone else is interested and/or knowledgeable regarding this new service, let`s share the info !     David

I am sorry if this has been covered to death but I really need some specific advice.     I`ve recently purchased HD800s, and a new DAC, and am in audiorgasmic-ness, as expected.  And also, like I expected, I`ve realized the need to delete a lot of my ripped/downloaded audio.  And so I went to...
