    Chord Mojo

    If this is a truly good sounding device why would I limit its use to public transport?   I would potentially like to use it with my Sennheisser HD800 headphones. I have read that the Hugo is a good match for these so maybe the Mojo will be as well? Having a portable DAC/AMP would allow me to...

    Chord Mojo

    No 6.3mm headphone jack? I find that a real shame.   Otherwise it looks like a rather interesting small product with the usual somewhat weird Chord design language.

    Rumor: New Sennheiser Flagship to be surfaced ........ soon

    Sennheiser is showing some nice new color editions of the HD800 - will we see a commercially available 70th anniversary edition with a new color job you think? I would not mind a black version...   Funky colors; not really my cup of tee though...     Seems like this one (shown at the...

    Burson Conductor Virtuoso Thread.

    Thank you! For reference I have so far been able to listen to the Senn HD800 with the Bryston BHA-1, which I liked a lot, but its more expensive than the virtuoso here in europe and I would need a DAC on top of the price bring the package out of my budget sphere. I also tried the HD800 on a few...

    Burson Conductor Virtuoso Thread.

    Hello Frank (and others who have the virtuoso)...   I'm on the verge of buying this thing, but lack of reviews and not having the option to pre-listen makes is difficult for me.   Feedback on how the virtuoso with the ESS9018 sounds with the Sennheisser HD800 would be very appreciated...

    Questyle CMA800 Current Mode amp

      Hello! Saw the reviews on Innerfidelity of the Q192 and the Concero HP; both getting great reviews and both are in the same price bracket; and with build-in DAC. I'm in the mood for a HD800 set of headphones and contemplating Q192, Concero HP and CMA800R. Since the CMA 800R plus a suitable...

    Questyle Q192 review

    By the way - since the Questyle Q192 also has a build in DAC it could also be in the Dedicated source components section... I have seen other websites spit it into: -Amps -Dac/Amps -Dacs making it easier to navigate....

    Questyle Q192 review

    Thank you for an interesting and well written review. And - awsome photos with great lightning - almost looks like a HD800 and Questyle commercial . I read something similar in the InnerFidelity review (http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/tight-and-tasty-questyle-q192-dacheadphone-amp) so this...

    AKG K812 Pro

    Just saw the Inner Fidelity review as well. I like it when the reviewer says "It's kind of confusing sounding in the treble". That is exactly what I heard too and what makes this a "nogo" for me. Also I find everything but the sound and price (hence the design, fit, solidity etc) quite a bit...

    What do you think the new Sennheiser flagship will be?

    For what it's worth here are the collected Nomax hints. (I presume he will correct me if I'm mistaken...) -Mentioned that it's about a new Sennheisser flagship -More than 1500€ -Mentioned "after 20 years" (Orpheus was made 1991 and 2006) -Should come out second half 2014 -Not over ear, not...

    AKG K812 Pro

    Good to hear some agreement. I felt somewhat intimidated to write this mini-review. If the all three headphones sounded the same, and cost was also the same I would take the K812 in a heartbeat - it makes me want to caress the headband.. oups, did I write that? :-)  However, it costs not just a...

    AKG K812 Pro

    Listened to the Audeze LCD2, the Sennheisser HD800 and the AKG 812 at a dealer today with my own music. Transport was an AK120 and a Bayerdynamic A1 amp. First off all the headphones had parts where they were the best. Anyways, here is my completely personal and biased impressions.   Design...

    Blue Microphones entering Headphone space with Mo-FI

    It's a bit confusing with "Mo-Fi", personally I'll always think of Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs when seeing that abbreviation... Hmmm...   Cool design though - and on the picture it looks like UD carbon fibre.. or it could be a corse surface from hand polishing..

    SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP

    First Magazine test of the new Phonitor 2 by the German Magazine "Stereoplay"   Here my draft translation from the German part of the SPL website: The following were tested: Auralic Taurus MK2 ( 1,800 euros ) , pathos Aurium ( 1,200 euros ) and the Phonitor2 ( 1,650 euros ). The Bryston BHA...

    Vinyl or CD ? headache !!!

    Hi arcorob; Its higly interesting that taste in music and mastering versions and media is so individual. I personally think that most modern CD masterings are horrible and prefer LP's in that case, whereas the "old" stuff I typically find great on CD - the exact opposite of yourself. I do find...

    AKG K812 Pro

    Good info! Does this mean that: A.) The iPhone can drive them with good volume B.) "A" plus the sound quality through the iPhone is pretty high as well??   Any idea how much can be gained in SQ with even better DAC/AMP?   I have the rather easy to drive Sony MDR-F1 and they dont sound...

    Vinyl or CD ? headache !!!

    Dear Proton007, that's my opinion, others may not agree Note though that especially with new music there are many many ... many very poorly mastered CD's... .

    Vinyl or CD ? headache !!!

    Personally I think that both can be anjoyable, but a well mastered CD has less pops and other noises not related to the music making it easier for me to concentrate purely on the musical details etc.. I have read though that in blind tests many people prefer a little added noise... The reasons...

    Resonessence Labs Concero discussion/review thead

    Amongst others Sonos, which is probably not going to be a perfect partner as it seems since Sonos is not famous for sendion on a very high quality signal (albeit I find it rather decent in blind tests). I had hoped that I could move the concero around a bit and in some places it would be...

    December 2013 Mid-Level DAC Comparison

    Ok I try again - note that I'm no expert in electronics (only reading reviews ;-) Optical has loads of problems in the conversion stage. True - you can use long long wires and the transfer is perfect, but alas - as with USB and spdif - the problems come at the ends and here the optical solution...

    Hegel Super Headphone Amplifier / DAC

    Very interested in this - the newest Hegel amps (H300 and H30) are amazing value for money. Only annoying that they did not include spdif and a volume knub... Is it relying on something like the dragonfly or does it use the volume control within the PC?

    December 2013 Mid-Level DAC Comparison

    Hello Drsparis. You may hear many different reasons, here are my comments: -Convenience - many people use their (noicy) PC as their main source; at work and at home. USB is simply easy. My PC's have fans and that ruins that option for me. -Asyncroneous USB seems to solve most of the initial...

    Thanks Project86. Problem is that I have no way of testing it where I live, so I have to rely on reviews or buy something else.

    Resonessence Labs Concero discussion/review thead

    Thanks for the link and interesting review, I had not seen that. Presumable the same focus on the USB is present on the concero HP. If one always use it with a PC/MAC it's probably great. Unfortunately I'm not...

    Resonessence Labs Concero discussion/review thead

    Hello, I have tried to read through all 95 pages, but did not stumble over an answer to this: -For the Concero HP: is the sound using spdif input just as good as with USB as input or is USB somewhat better? I ask since I would use it mainly with spdif and all I have been able to find are...
