Wow I can't believe there is no mention of Star Citizen in these forums. I am 100% obsessed with this game. Are there any other Citizens on head-fi? 

My best friend are at each other's throats arguing about this.  We both agree that there is of course some objective science involved in both wine and headphones. If the chemicals don't align correctly you are going to get vinagear, science can tell you this "wine" will taste horrible to just...

Does a cable like this exist.  I want a headphone cable something like the Hi-fi man 400i cables but its 3.5 to 2x 2.5mm .    I have no idea how to make cables, but does any one know any on sale that are worth a damn. I can jerry rig something up but it looks horrible and I want something...

I currently run m100 and q701 as my main set up through my marantz amp/DAC. I just picked up the little dot Mark IV SE for the q701 and may pick up some hd650s to try with that OTL. My main listening preferences is EDM. More specific IDM and ambient type stuff. My m100 is perfect for this type...

I am looking at info for my Q701. It is my understanding all the 700 series use the same drivers so I have been looking at info for all them.    Been searching for a few hours now on Google and Head-fi. Been trying to to read through the amping guide for the Q701 but I have not seen a straight...

i just bought my first fairly high end dac/amp for home use. Marantz HD-DAC1... So I am running USB audio out.  I play a lot of console games and use the Astro Mixamp which adds Dobly Headphone and I love it.  Can I get a soundcard that does that for my PC? but wouldn't a sound card be a waste...

I just bought a nice new Marantz HD-DAC1 for my home.    But now I need some speakers for it.  I have two choices.  Buy a set of powered speakers.  These Fostex are RIGHT in my price range have great reviews and they are available in Japan. ...

I am looking at the Fostex HP-A4 and TEAC UD-301.  Do you think either of them are worth and extra 200-300 over the ODAC.  Sure they add DSD which I will try out, but I can add DSD from the Schiit Loki for 150. 

edit: I'm an idiot... Which Amp/DAC is better for headphones   both output 100mw at 32ohms per channel    http://audio.teac.com/product/ai-301da/ DAC  The BurrBrown PCM 1795 D/A converter converts 5.6MKz DSD or 32bit/192kHz PCM digital data into analog form. The analog signal, which is...

I have read through briefifly the guide that was written by "he who can not be named on head-fi"   I get the basic idea. And for every 3db you need to basically double your power.    I have the O2 amp. On their website they state: Max Output @ 33 ohms - 613mW   Does this mean combined? ...

I live in Japan and they just don't have the same options they do in the USA. It has been really frustrating at time trying to find what I am looking for, info about it, and within budget.    I think I have finally found the PERFECT piece of equipment for my needs.the TEAC UD-301...

TL:DR can you tell me what the major Bravo V2 mod community website is?    Been in head-fi and audiophile headphones for about 1 year now. I should not have ever listened to half of you self important a holes. The Bravo V2 is amazing. Well worth its money. A whopping 50 bucks. So far I love...

I have started to hear a rattle in the right side of my Fidelo X1s.  I live in Japan and bought them in the USA. On the phillips website they say they do not honor any warrenty if you move from the country you bought the product in...  I don't listen to music THAT loud, and I use them...

I run an ODAC standalone and O2 amp at work with my M100s   At home I have my X1s but dont have any real head phone set up. I run HDMI audio from my PC, ps3, and ps4 into my TV which runs optical out into a ****ty 100$ Yamaha surround amp that I plug my X1s into.    I want to upgrade my...

I am looking for some advice guys. I want a nice pairing for acoustic music specifically blues and jazz, Chess Box recordings, etc. don't worry about recommending a tube amp. I live in japan and most powered units for the USA won't work here due to different voltage. What do you recommend...

In the last few months I have bought my first audiophile setup. you can see my sig for what equipment I am running.  I finally settled into the office after a long vacation and get my rig set up. slowly replacing my favorite music into FLAC and APE files.    I am starting to hear so many bad...

(running FLAC) Now that I have a couple pairs of audiophile headphones I have noticed some of my favorite albums sound horrible. I hear artifacts, what basically sounds like clipping.  I just downloaded Foobar on this computer and retried one of the tracks that just sounded too bad to believe...

I would like some sub 300$ closed headphones for work. (A little over 300 is okay. I was looking for sub 200 open cans and spent 220 on x1s because 20 extra bucks was worth it). At work I am running foobar, flac, odac, o2 amp. I work in an open office with 6 other guys. No dividers. Some...

Shopping for at home, open back non portable cans that will used for music and gaming. This list is compiled from budget, various review from head-fi and http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-update-2-20-2014-boompro-list-chicoloms-faq-added#user_v-moda_boompro I...

Are the ATH-M50 different enough from the M-100s?  I would like some different/better sounding cans.  I just got my M-100s, ODAC, and O2 amp. I am in love btw. People say I didn't need the amp with the M-100s... Need, maybe not, but these baby punch much better with the O2.  ANYWAY. I live...

Like the subject says I live in Japan. 100v 60hz.  What will work here? Up until now I never had to worry about it. With AC/DC adapters there is no problem. Game consoles. Phone chargers. Things with motors don't work: hair dryers, hair clippers, etc?    What about amps?   I emailed JDS...

So let me get this straight.  For example an amp like the Fiio has an impedance, of <10ohm (from their website). So I should not use cans with an impedance level below 80 or it will create distortion?    So lets take for example the O2 amp. It has an impedance of 0.54 ohms. So basicly...

I have been reading about audiophile stuff for days and days now.  I keep hearing transparency coming up. No distortion? But why would you pay 100, 1,000, 10,000 dollars for amp or DAC or headphones that WASN'T transparent? I have been eyeballing the ODAC for a week. So many times it has come...

My V-moda m-100s will be here today or tomorrow.  They are very efficient: 103 dB @ 1kHz 1mW   I am going on a long trip (5 weeks). Bringing my Iphone 5, Ipad 3 (for movies and TV), and my PS Vita (which has REALLY low volume).  I was thinking of picking up the Fiio E12 for the trip. When I...

I am currenlty in the market for a DAC and AMP.  I live in Japan, but I am taking a trip to the states in 1 week.  I am buying a set of V-moda M100s in the next couple days.    I have the opportunity to pick up most gear in the USA at USA prices (which means CHEAPER!) Or  Get wait and get...
