Hi everybody!   Quote:   "You have failed the city."     Quote:   Well, that's good if everybody's headphones are like that, so it may not 7/10 after all. Well then future owner of this lonely rs2e, what are you waiting for, take this off my hand.   1) Anyway, to further...

First off, please don't quote this post, as I'm going to edit it as soon as one of you take the item.   Hi everybody,     Here are the pictures :   http://imgur.com/a/DgyYV     I'll leave this post until Monday, then I'll post it publicly, probably ebay, still not sure where...

  I hope you are listening to music when you do that. Because dang.

  Who'd have known. There is?are Fedex people here that are Schiit fans looks like, lol. But hey, look at the bright side, you save 20+ bucks by using Ground instead of 2 days right...

  There are three. 2 of those I wouldn't recommend until one is entirely sure. Another one is basically putting mass dampener on the back of the driver, so it's easily reversible. A lot of people uses Dynamat and call it Dynamat mod, a kind member told me about Second Skin Damplifier Pro and...

hd650 modded with the "standard" mod. I'm not a member over there, but I read posts over there from time to time.

  Thank you very much for the input, mate!   Quote:   You make it as if it sounds so easy. Thank you very much for the input! Yeah, with all the praise of the Jotunheim, it's nice to hear some inputs on which item one should prioritize getting first given a certain budget.      ...

  Another relevant question would be (well, for me at least), which one to prioritize getting. A balanced cable, or a Multibit DAC? Because without any soldering capability, a balanced cable will be ~$100 vs. $250 for the multibit, and to people with limited budget, it would be nice to know...

  I'd probably go with the Schiit Uber stack if I were you. You can even try to get it used if you are okay with it so if you don't like them, you won't incur much losses from selling them.

I think you should point out that the $ amount you quoted are all in AUD.   If you feel like you have self-control to use w/e amp you buy for minimum exactly 2 years, I'd say get the best amp you can get at your current budget and think about the DAC later. Unlike building a PC, you may not...

  How much cheaper? How long do you intend to use the hd650 and the O2?   I think those are relevant to give you input on which option will be good for you.

  It's the typical $5 cable they sell at a markup. The brand is not AmazonBasic but it's essentially AmazonBasic and AmazonBasic-like brand they sell on Amazon US. They used to carry Monoprice optical, but not anymore. But when it was available, it was $25 also. You get the idea...

  Hi Torq! Would you mind if I specifically ask your opinion about something? I've seen you advocate the use of literally any other connection as opposed to USB. After reading several of your posts, it convinced me to try it out. Problem is, the cheapest optical cable where I live is ~$30, and...

Thanks for the information guys! I really appreciate it.   I hope Schiit read this thread and write that "turning off also pop (several times)" in their next generation's product's manual so dumbasses like me would understand them without having to ask around.

  Ahhh!! That makes sense. The manual said the pop is expected when turning on, but no explanation about sound when turning off. Thanks for the explanation :D

  Hi! Is it just on mine or is there a relay click on powering off too? Like 4 clicks on off?

  I just want to quote that part. Well dang, I might be Schiit for life now. The bolded part greatly interest me.

Thanks for the reply. It's really useful to me. I wish I would've been able to read it last week. May have sway my decision from getting a Jotunheim to getting a Modi Multibit instead (it's cheaper, and I already have SS amp). But thank you nonetheless. It's a great info for future purchase...

  Here's my take on it. I'm not a big believer of burn-in. In fact, I have a bias going in that "burn-in is just all in the head", "insignificant", "not going to pass DBT", etc. However, there are 2 of my headphone that actually changes sound in a noticeable way after some play time. No 1 is...

Thanks for this. Thank you thank you. I was a bit wary when my wire-cutter got pulled by the headphone magnet when I was removing the rear spider-cage. Extra stupidity when I then switched to tweezer and seemingly scratched that magnet. I can see the scratched when I flashlight it. But it...

Power outage happened weekly where I live when there's a lot of rain. I think I had like, 5 daily power outages in a row in this month. But... I'm talking isolated example based on my very own experience though. My hd650 is fine and I'm currently watching youtube with them. Hope that alleviates...

Hi David! How have you been? Everything is good?   Feels like it's a situation where one have to get both and try it out for themselves isn't it? Particularly because there is only a limited number of people as of yet giving info about the Nhoord to guesstimate how I will like the sound...

Thanks a lot John. I'll miss you too. Meeting someone like you (albeit virtually), made me pretty happy inside because of two things. I'm a hopeless romantic (or hopeful?, lol). Anyway I was happy when I saw your username becomes ruthieandjohn, and the fact that I was here leading up to that. I...

Which one brings more emotion to you when you listen to them? The ypsilon or the nhoord?

I... don't listen to English songs with female singers regularly a lot but for this talk, let's say.... something like Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell or Alison Krauss's When You Say Nothing At All or Christina Perri's A Thousand Years, I guess, would be good as far as examples goes. Specific...
