    BRISBANE, AUST - THE DIGITAL LOSSLESS GATHERING part 0.1 (an IC)

    'Lo All. Been a while since I have visited Head-Fi. Just doing an interest check to see if anyone would be keen on a meet in Brisbane with a focus on Lossless music and other high end musical sources and recordings. I wouldn't go as far to say that no MP3's are permitted at this meet -...

    Need personal advice from fellow head-fiers.

    If it's been a while since I've been opinionated on head-fi, it's definitely been a looong while since asking for the professional advice of the head-fi massive. I'm in the market for a new PMP. Last three contenders for me is the Q5W, Cowon A3 or the Archos 704. Top three in terms of...

    AKG K-701's. The best all rounder.

    'Lo All. It's been a while since I've been opinionated on Head-Fi. Just received my new K-701's. I dunno. Nothing really stands out about it. It's not as smooth or soothing as the HD-650, PS-1's are simply better for rock music period and the K-1000's certainly has more fidelity though...

    Is there a plug in so that the new Archos and QW5 can support FLAC?

    Am I dreaming or do these dream machines not support FLAC lossless????? Can't see it anywhere in the specs!!! The current contender for my new DAP (or PMP I should say) is the A2.

    Old skool music discovery...

    Mmmm... listening to HAU ROCK by KMFDM. Lossless FLAC - > DAC1 Better than average recording for industrial and certainly one of the most fun albums to listen to on a good set of cans.

    Anyone suggest a good way to rip vinyl into digital?

    I've got a stack of vinyl I would like to rip into digital and then compress into lossless FLAC. Can anyone give any suggestions on what equipment they would recommend? Also ADC suggestions would be good.

    Does anyone else's Grado's cups come off the headband?

    If so... any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm not talking about the adjustment antennae, I mean the hard connection to the headband itself.

    Headphones used using direct amplification: HD-650 ER4-S RS-1 K-1000 is also power amped by a Pass Aleph 3. Music: Dido, Groove Armada, Pumpkins, Jewel Kilcher, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation ... LOSSLESS of course. Firstly, I would like to thank Dimitri (dvse) for selling me this...

    Finally pulled the trigger on a DAC1...

    BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... Should be arriving tomorrow. She won't be replacing the Grace, but instead be the official DAC of my home theatre setup. (of course - I'll do a mini review of it with my current headphone inventory) Current and past owners... please feel free to give me your...

    Intergrated or Pre plus Power???

    Hello all. I know this is mostly a "Headphone" amp section... but... I thought I would like to cross over to the dark side for a while and give some speakers a try. Can anyone give advice as to which combo is best to power high end speakers?? What are the dis-advantages of an intergrated...

    Does anyone have any experience with the Meridian DSP speaker range?

    From what I have read, they are very convenient in the sense that they are active and accept a digital source. Has anyone here tried them out or can give some sort of review on their sound quality??

    ADL

    Thanks to Feng for organising the meet and David for getting our room at the med school. For me, the highlight of the day was being able to try out different DAPs, portable amps and the illustrious UM2's. Impressions: The Sennheiser Veil is nothing compared to the UM2 veil. Still prefer...

    Replacing the HD 650 as the preferred partner for the K-1000's

    Hello. I'm in the market for another high end headphone to partner with my K-1000's. Something with deep deep earth shattering BASS. Any suggestions? Budget of $1000 - $2000 USD.

    What do you think is the most prestigeous brand for ultra high end audio??

    Meridian, Burmester, Linn, Esoteric, Accuphase, Clearaudio, DCS, Emm Labs all come into mind.

    Using my Hornet as a "Power Amp" and my iAudio X5 as "Preamp".

    I had a bit of time at the Airport when I was going on my Easter break and I thought I'd decide to fiddle around with the settings on my portable setup. Then an idea came to me. I thought to myself: "Shouldn't the amplification components and circuitry be far superior in the Hornet than...

    How come all the ultra high end headphones have all been discontinued??

    I'm looking at a step up from the HD-650's to accompany the K-1000's. Something with beefy bass for where the K1K's lack. The current leading contender is the Grado GS1. But I have heard that the PS-1 is better in almost all aspects. Discontinued. Next in line is the L-3000's. Again, for...

    Just modded my computer and removed all but one fan. Check out the heatsink on my cpu and I have one that snakes around on the graphics card.

    Wow - April 01 is a real big day for you guys...

    Not sure whether celebrate is the correct word, but I have no idea what the big deal about april fool's is. Can someone please explain to an Aussie?

    I LOVE MASSIVE ATTACK - Any other Trip-Hop recommendations?

    Not a lot of this stuff here in Australia. We're more trance and house. I think it's heaps more popular in the UK and US. Mmmm... Blue Lines, Mezzanine and Protection... all 3 have to be in my top 10 albums of all time!

    Music is my Salvation.

    Just a thread to say how much I appreciate music. Music... MOOOZIC!!!! Every single genre and artist in all it's greatness. Isn't that why we're all here? Every single emotion we feel has been expressed by music. In all it's notes, chords, flats, sharps and octaves. There is not one...

    I've destroyed some poor sod's life...

    On my way to the Sydney meet a few days ago, I was sitting next to a couple on a plane. The guy had his iPod and I had my Hornet and ER4S combo. Eventually, curiosity got the best of him and he asked me what the little black box was. I told him it was a headphone amp for my canal phones...

    Can senior head-fi members please review more on headphonereviews.org?

    A lot of times when friends ask me which is the best headphone, I can't direct them to that site because a lot of the reviews are completely biased as that headphone may have only one reviewer. If more people can review the headphones, it will even out the choices a bit clearer for newbies...

    (PICS ADDED) - My RX7 is in the workshop...

    The only unfortunate thing about the FC turbo soft-top is that it was never made with a manual transmission as standard. Fortunately, I blew the second gear on my trannie. So, she's in the workshop getting a full manual conversion, new stainless exhaust with rotorflow muffler...
