@cel4145 Wow - thanks for your great reply. I am very tempted by the LSR305s. I know that this is a difficult question, but if you were to guess - would the LSR305s outperform a Denon 1513/Cambridge Audio S30 setup? In reading some of the reviews - some pertinent additional information. This...

@PurpleAngel - would you say that the change was worth it? What are you using to drive them?

Hello all,   So I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my desktop audio setup. To be honest, even after reading through several threads here I'm a little confused so bear with me. Currently I have laptop -> Audioengine D1 -> Promedia 2.1s. Personally, I don't believe that I need the subwoofer...

Thanks for the recommendations guys - will run them by him - more definitely appreciated too!

Bump - Open to on-ear headphones as well now - if portable/usable at the gym. Thanks again

Hello everyone, as the title states I'm trying to help a friend out with a new headphone pick.  Definitely would not consider him an audiophile, but he can appreciate an improvement in quality.   On my recommendation, several years ago, he purchased a set of iGrados and has loved them since...

Not sure there's too much that will beat the E6 in that price range (not familiar at all, there's just not much period).  That said I think it would also be worth getting a lineout dock in that case, bypassing the internal amp of the iPod in that case - Fiio L1/L3 are cheap   Edit: Maybe...

Just a small tip for people interested in these two - can't speak to an A/B (although headphoneaddict's review of the Audioengine D1 with a comparison to the iBasso D4 is a start point), however if you order the Audioengine D1 from Crutchfield and use coupon 3a825 it will be $20 off w/ free...

Closely looking at this impressive package to match w/ my HD580s - for reference - were the comparisons to the iBasso D4 based on 9V or USB mode? And how's the power output on the D7 compare as a result?   Finally - am I correct to assume the iBasso official website is the only place to...

Just wanted to say - I realize I've listed several very new products and would appreciate really any comments on any of them :). Also, based on more exhaustive review reading, I am starting to lean towards the Audioengine D1 or the Ibasso D7   One final option (sorry guys) - is that I am...

Also very interested in this discussion - anyone have any thoughts on these? A bonus if you have one as well regarding the Audinst HUD-MX1 :)

Hey guys - after years, I'm finally ready to make my first headphone amp purchase.  The old HotUSB1 DAC I've been using for years has finally reached it's limits for me, and of course for my HD580s (white drivers, with HD600 metal grilles). Now, over the past few days I've spent way too much...

So tempted... Looking forward to more comparisons between this and the Audinst HUD-MX1.  Sounds like I have some time to make a decision at least...   Just concerned about driving the HD580s w/ this

So I think this is the right place - but yea.. www.woot.com.   I believe the AV30s get praise here, and I believe the price is about right for them alone, but with everything else...

Check out woot.com today - refurb AV30s + a lot of under stuff for 60+5 shipped

So here's the story - owner of UM3X's, love how they sound.   From the very beginning I was a little surprised at their build quality/design - seemed inferior/less thought out than previous and much more inexpensive Shure/Sennheiser IEMs, but I was not too preoccupied with looks.  I did...

Hey guys - quick but important question. As some of you may have seen - was thinking of picking up either a Zune HD or Touch 3G - but a very important question first. Does the Zune HD support 802.1x/WPA authentication for wireless (so called "enterprise")? I know the current Zune...

I do have an E5 kicking around - but the E1 is definitely an interesting thought. Can't say my E5 gets much in the way in the way of use as it's just awkward... Anyone have first hand experience w/ the E1- there does not seem to be too much out there?

Thanks everyone, guess I really am leaning towards the Touch now - someone care to clarify how the LOD works for me? If I were to use this: SendStation iPod Pocket Dock Line-Out Mini-USB | HeadRoom Audio - it would be a simple plug in and directly use the 3.5mm for my headphones correct...

Hello everyone, first of all I'm sure some of you are wondering why I'm bringing up this topic, well I promise I've used the search function and would just like some more specific input. Looking to choose between these two players as they best combine the function I am looking for, a...

x2 for HotUSB - love mine

Saved if needed

Hello everyone - so to my great excitement, I finally received my Westone UM3Xs. The wait to open the package was... well excruciating. Some of you may have seen my posts - just to give you guys a quick idea of tastes and search. IEM history is below - no other top tier universals to compare...

Look forward to it Detrex

Ha akwok - did exactly the same thing - hoping they come in soon
