As far as the SQ goes, we know that the Ipod isn't the solution. However, assuming it is in-home use only, what if one does this: Ipod (wav, loseless) -> Usb/ Optical -> DAC -> Amp -> Can Is this even a possibility??? Just a thought.

Kind of dumb question. If the headband (or the 'L' 'R' plastics) get damaged, how do we replace them? I cannot find any grado replacement parts anywhere.

Everytime I listen through headphone jack from my old audio receiver, I'd hear hissing noise even at low volume. Would cleaning inside the unit help??? I saw with flashlight and it's very dusty. =(

Lets say I have soundblaster live on one hand, and the Juli@ on the other. Assuming that the mini analog out is the only option(no digital out), would you say that the difference in SQ is significant?

Just curious that using the USB DACs with amps would improve the music quality over the soundcard mini out. Some say that USB ones don't benefit as much, that just using amps directly from the soundcard can do better. As I was searching, most of the head-fiers prefer to use the DACs with...

I'm trying to connect pc to stereo with RCA/Y-Adapter(or mini-to-RCA) cable. The problem is that I get this annoying humming noise. First I thought it was the cable, but after searching the net, I came to realize that it's related to the grounding issue. I ran to the local Radioshack and got...

Hi, Maybe this has been asked before, but what would be the best matching amp for the sr225s? Sadly I'm on a budget, and it'll be nice if it can stay under $100. Although sr225s have great details, I feel a little hungry on the bass department. Thanks in advance.
