I have had the PS Audio DL III and they recommend you leave the DAC on all the time. I imagine somewhere on these posts this has been answered but I searched and did not find anything. I have the Audio GD Reference 5 coming in a few days and I just wanted to know if I should leave it on or turn...

I found him on Amazon as a recommendation for Smooth Jazz piano and I had no idea he had so many CD's out and I had never heard of him. One thing that impresses me with him is the quality of the CD's SQ. His music makes these phones come alive for sure. If you are into smooth jazz piano give him...

Where can one buy the little silver spikes I see under some people's equipment? I have looked and can't find any.

After all this time I just looked at the back of my computer, Hewlett Packard A6620f and I noticed there is a built in digital audio port. It uses a coaxial connector for both input and output. Would this be a way around the USB cable and if I use it to go directly into the PS Audio DL III with...

I have just decided I want to try some of his stuff but have no idea what the best one's are. I have searched ebay and Amazon and he has so many CD's available. Could someone recommend three or four of his recordings so I can get acquainted with this artist.

My wife just had a youtube thing on and they were showing an annual festival of Boogie Woogie dance in Europe and they had a band by Silvan Zingg (young guy) playing the piano. Some of you may be interested, his stuff sounds great to me. Glad I found him and now I will be adding his stuff to my...

I have the Audio GD ROC coming in a few days and was wondering if there was a DAC above the DACMAGIC I presently have that would improve the quality of the sound. I was thinking of the PS Audio Digital Link III. Of course the PS Audio has discrete output and has XLR balanced to the amp as does...

Didn't really know where to post this but thought someone may be interested. I sent an email to Kingwa at Audio GD and asked about a rumour where he was making a redesigned DAC for the ROC amp. This is his reply by email just a few minutes ago: Yes I have finished test the new DAC, now only...

Presently using the KICAS with the DACMAGIC and HD 650's. What benefit if any would I get from using the LD MK VII+? I am pretty happy with the sound of the KICAS but may want to go balanced at some point and with the other amp I could do that. Do you think there would be any benefit to SQ...

Presently connecting the DACMAGIC to the KICAS with the RCA interconnects. I just ordered some from Monoprice. I am using some standard red/white cheap cables that came with something else. If one was to go with just the Monoprice cable would they be good enough or would I be able to notice a...

For those of you that have one I have only one question. The instructions on page 11 suck. Is the light for phase supposed to be on or off?

Can anyone tell me who it is playing on the new American Express Commercial that is on television all the time. It sounds like a Cello but I do not know who it is. I guess this is kinda weird but did not know who else to ask.

I have a Purity KICAS (Non Caliente) coming and just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 600. I have the Headstage DAC Cable but have seen reviews that it does not have a very wide soundstage. I do think the Headstage has a very solid sound and it is very quiet regarding any distortion. In fact it is...

OK, here is the dilemma I am in. I have no way to audition any of the top end headphones so I am going to trust the opinions of the experts here on Head-Fi. I have been reading for several days and can't make up my mind on what to do to choose the headphone that will best fit my needs. I want...

I figure this is the best way to determine what I need to look at reagarding amping the HD 600. Could you kind gentlemen please give me your recommendations on what I need to be looking at regarding this specific headphone. I have used the Headroom Micro amp and dac in the past with the ESW10's...

Just thought that maybe someone on here may have re-cabled their ATH ES7's and no longer needs the cable that comes with the phones. I am in need of a new cable and want to do the repair myself. If anyone has one please PM me and arrange for payment. Thanks.

Just traded up from the ESW9's to the ESW10's and the title is all I can say. I am running these with the RSA Hornet and use the Headroom Micro DAC and Amp for the computer desktop. I was really impressed with the sound of the ESW9 but these ESW10's just blow my mind. I listened to Fourplay and...

All I can say really is WOW! I got the Headroom Micro DAC (06) and had bought the Headroom Coda Amp LE (Only 75 were made) and hooked them up tonight after receiving them in the mail. Man do these sound good. I am now waiting for the Headroom Micro Amp (06) to come this week to replace the...

I am listening to the "In Between Dreams" and "Brushfire Fairytales" and "On and On" CD's as we speak. I am a big fan of this type of music and just wondered if anyone knows of any artists that are in this same genre. I do not have much acces to information out here in West Texas. Here it is all...

Presently I have the ATH ES7 and the ATH ESW9. I now want to come up with a good closed headphone that I can use that will not bother my wife while she is on her computer. I only know them as closed. I really like the sound of the two headphones that I have and would like a recommendation. I...

Now that I have your attention let me ask a quick question. Does anyone know anyother groups that are out that are similiar to the following: Fourplay Spyro Gyra The Rippingtons I have all the above's CD's and I am looking for some more in that particular genre. If you experts could...

Someone way inside the threads asked the question of what the inside dimensions of the ear pads are for the ESW9 and there was never an answer. They also wanted to know if the pads are replaceable or not. Can some of you ESW9 experts here answer this for us. I too would like to know since I have...

I live in West Texas and cannot demo anything in this area so I am kinda stuck. I guess not really as on this site are probably the best experts available with the knowledge to help a noob. I presently have the following: 2-Creative X-Fi (32gb) 2-Creative Vision M (30gb) Koss Porta-Pro...

Can someone recommend a brand or tell me which Lithium Batteries work in the Hornet. I am interested in rechargable. In looking through these threads I am getting confused and I just bought a used Hornet and don't want to mess it up. Thanks for helping a noob out.
