Hah, dammit I was hoping someone would tell me I'm crazy. Thanks though man!

Real talk here guys. I just got the Fostex X00's. How do the X2's compare? Better question yet..The x00's are pretty amazing, why am I considering this purchase?

Also the 990 Pro's are $125.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011UB9CQ/ref=s9_al_bw_g267_i1

I just pulled the trigger on a Magni 2 uber/Modi 2 Uber stack. This is my first DAC and amp. Did I make a good call?

Just bought my first amp and dac, hope it was a good choice. Schiit Magni/Modi both in uber flavors.Did I do okay? Also in for the 598.

  Took your wise advice and ordered! Just the fact that they have been making these so long makes me want to add them to the collection. Thanks man!

  These look cool, should I buy them?

My amperiors cames in. I'm really digging these punchy little bastards. Like I'm in love with them. My ears get sore after about 3 hours of listening, but I dont care. My favorites out of all my recent purchases so far are the amperiors and the gratitudes. Next up, a nice set of open backs. I'm...

Guys, a ways back in this thread y'all were sharing some really cool music. I specifically remember some good hip hop. Can you guys share again? I've been digging but cant find the page.

I my friend, have not. I am heeding his call. Resistance is futile.

I just had to necro this thread to say thanks to OP. I was having a hell of a time with my monster gratitudes, this post was super helpful. Thank you!

thanks for the reply. Whats the difference between the udac 2 and the udac 3?

Gentlemen. How is the Nuforce Icon uDac-3?

So my saga with the gratitudes have reached an end. It was the seal. My god. Punchy ass bass. Awesome. Thanks all for the advice. Now I just need a good source from the computer. My sound card sucks ass. Recommend me a usb amp/DAC. I'm ready to order right now. This is dangerous territory but...

Volume was not even that high either. I will do some more experimenting when I get home. If they continue to distort would you say they are a bad set?

Wow..So I got 3 out of 4 in today. The fx40's, 101's, and the gratitudes..   Keep in mind I have no amp/dac and am using an iphone for a source. Both JVC's sound awesome. I'm really surprised to be honest. The fx40's excellent detail..wow. Almost too much, and the treble can be harsh, but as I...

Oh god...Point me in the right direction y'all. I currently am using onboard sound from my motherboard and it sucks pretty bad. I have no amp or DAC. HELP!  What do you guys recommend?

Is there a thread like this for amps/DACs?

  They should be here today. I love amazon prime!

So I have lurked these boards for so long but never signed up until now. I just had to because of this thread. Here is the series of events that has led me here.   -Yesterday morning : I'm thinking about upgrading my crappy skullcandy earbuds that I use for the gym. So I'm like "I'll go on...
