Does anyone make a retracting spool for headphone cables?
I have an 8 foot extension cord connected to my Grado RS2e's. Love these phones and the extension cord lets me listen in comfort. But when I take the phones off, I always have a problem trying to store the cord before I put the phones on their stand. It looks a mess and always seems to become...- jocar37

LH Labs Geekout Drivers
Seems my Geekout drivers are corrupted, and I just learned the company is apparently out of business. Is there somewhere I can get download the drivers or am I SOL? I searched online and found nothing, but I'm hoping someone here has a solution. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.- jocar37

Disintegrating Grado earpads
I've owned a pair of Grado SR225s for about 20 years. They still sound great. But while the original earpads lasted quite a while, I've had to replace pads with increasing frequency over the last few years. They just seem to disintegrate fairly quickly. Is anyone else experiencing the same...- jocar37

What DACs support DSD input NOT via USB?
I want to buy a dac that can do WAV, FLAC and DSD. But the dac will attach to my stereo rig, not my computer. Input will be thru my Oppo BDP-103. It may be information overload but it occurs to me that every DSD capable DAC I've looked at that supports DSD does so thru a USB input and the Oppo...- jocar37

Oppo remote question
When I play my BDP 103 through my stereo system, the volume control on the remote works just fine. When I'm running my headphones through a Zero DAC connected to my Oppo BDP 103 and my Squeezebox Touch, the volume control on the Squeezebox remote work just fine, but doesn't work at all on the...- jocar37

Recommendation needed for LCD-3 DAC/amp
A few months ago I bought my first DAC/amp, a Zero, so I could listen to my tunes through my Oppo BDP103 or Squeezebox Touch in my living room without disturbing my wife. Of course, that provoked my desire to explore more and better equipment. I just bought a pair for LCD-3's and know I'm going...- jocar37

What do you think makes headphones tiring?
Still new to HF, I've found my learning curve to be more of a spiral. I'll start reading up on one concept, then see something that takes me in a completely different direction. I don't understand much about electronics and I'm not familiar with audiophile terminology. So I was hesitating on...- jocar37

Help re using portable dac on a phone
I joined HF to learn about a headphone amp for my home system. I was surprised to see so much space devoted to phone related devices. Never realized that there are audiophile options for phones. I'm new to all this, so I hope you'll bear with me if this seems like a dumb question. I have...- jocar37

DAC/Amp for connecting Oppo BDP-103 to Grado SR225s.
I've read many threads describing some great products. But many posts either deal with playing iPod or computer based mp3's, and many, many more do not even describe the "ecosystem." I'll be listening mostly to HD Tracks 192/24 downloads, SACD, XRCD24, and maybe some CD or lossless files. I'm a...- jocar37

Some amp advice for a new member please.
Hello All - I'm a brand new member here. I have what I’d consider an above-average sound system, but hardly what many members here would consider truly audiophile. I do have a pretty good ear, however, as I have been playing jazz piano for over 40 years (and trumpet now for about 8). My...- jocar37
