I bought a brand new Little Dot I+ from a Chinese seller, but the seller mistakenly shipped me a 220 V version. Because the return shipping is very expensive, so the seller arranged a deal for me to keep it. I was thinking to buy an 110V to 220V adapter, but now I am not sure if it is a good...

 I recently bought a little dot I+ tube with Sylvania 408A tube. I first listened with it connected to K702 and really enjoyed it. It is dead quiet when music is not playing or when the volume is turned all the way down. A few days later, I borrowed some Beyer DT1350 to listen with Little dot...

I have HD650 as my go to phone, I also owned K701/K702 twice since once in a while I am in the mood of some analytical detailed sound. The thing I like about K701/2 is the wide sound stage, analytical, balanced and detailed sound with sweet mids. However, it is really cold and dry and bass...

I am looking for a pair of closed phone for occasional recording and mixing work. I already have HD650 and K701 and good desktop amps for critical listening. So I want something that's balanced and neutral. After much research, I see that srh840 (or maybe FA-003) might be my best choice. Then I...

My main can is HD650 and I love its warm, rich sound, but sometimes I am in the mood of listening with cans with analytical, detailed sound with large soundstage. That is why I also have a K702 to complement my HD650, but now I need to do some recording work occasionally, so I am thinking it may...

Double post, sorry.

I have an old zero dac that i love, But i am bothered that it does not have usb function, i am wondering should I sell the old one and buy a new version or simply buy a cheap usb converter like hagusb or vlink. Does SQ differ that much with these two options? Thanks.

My friend wants to buy a dt880. 600 omh, but he has some concerns with the amp choices. He has a small apartment and may move to another one soon, to him, my dv336i is too heavy, he also does not want to deal with tubes. His budget is limited, $150, may stretch to $200. Do such amp exist? I do...

I have heard many good things about ibasso D10, I have a Zero DAC right now, so just wondering how does ibasso D10 compares to Zero DAC. I tried to use search function, but the forum can not search for "zero" for some reason. Anyone did some direct comparisons? Thanks

I have sold quite a few stuff here. Buyers paid either with paypal or postal money order. Postal money order can be cashed instantly. This time I am gonna receive a cashier's check, and I don't have the issuing bank in my area. I heard that cashier's check can take a few days to clear. I am...

I got a pimeta a while ago and recently started to change its case and get a better power supply. I did some comparison between pimeta using a crappy power supply and original master amp, and found they sound quite similar to my ears except that original master amp has a slightly more punchy and...

I know these two phones are not the hot topic of the moment, and of course they are not even in the same category, earbuds vs IEM. I have the yuin pk1 and when I use my dekstop amp with them, I found them have very nice and strong mids and bass, plenty of detail. I have not heard SE530, so I am...

I got a new Hammond case for my pimeta from digikey. The case comes unthreaded. I understand that Hammond advertises the screws as self tapping, but is it really safe to just force the screws in? The reason I am asking is my old pimeta has stripped screws and threads that's why I want to replace...

I tried to search a few things and could not get any match, like SA6, MKV. Also the email notification seems not working. Is this just me or it they happen to anyone else? Thanks

I bought this DIY cable from a fellow head-fier not long ago. for the first two months, I put the IMOD video on my desktop and did not carry the gears around and the cable worked perfectly. Then I carried my gears around and 2 days later I started to notice cracking noise from time to time...

I am pretty new to DIY and don't know where to find the parts I want. I have a pimeta but no wall warts. I think it should use something like 12VDC and 500mA. This custom built pimeta can only fit in a 2.5*5.5 mm connector. I googled for 2 hours and all the adaptors I could find are 2.1 mmID...

I lost the power supply of my desktop maxxed Pimeta during the move two months ago. The power supply is the jamaco one which is also used for mini^3. Now I want to buy a power supply. I am wondering if there are better power supplies out there for pimeta. The power supply for mini^3 is 500mA. I...

I have triple fi 10 and SA6 as my IEM set for a while now. I have posted my impressions in another thread. Simply put, triple fi 10 is my favorite for all types of music, but SA6 complement them for the prominent mids. My friend may let me have his SE530 for a good price, unfortunately he is...

I started my IEM journey about a year ago, got a pair of modded im716 and soon triple fi 10 thinking I would be done with any upgrades, but then I decided I want another sub$200 IEM with different flavors. I got q-jays, traded them for ER4P, got an P to S cable and just recently SA6. I thought...

Anyone compared the SQ between ibasso D3 amp section and P3? I did a search and could not find relevant info. I want to start by ordering one first, so I would appreciate any suggestions here. Thanks

I am in the market for some silver interconnect cables. I understand that DIY cables are usually much cheaper than commercial ones, but different DIYers use different wires and configuration. This makes me hard to determine whose cables I want to buy. I am wondering if you guys can answer some...

Hi, I recently got a alien DAC and go vibe USB DAC. They are based on the same chip. I A/Bed them trying to see which one is better. To my ears, they sound the same. The only difference is they have different volume. I connected them to the same USB port. Everything else is the same. I am...

wrong forum

I want to connect my IPOD to my full size amps with RCA inputs. I have LOD with male mini plug and male mini to RCA cables. I guess I have several options male mini to male mini adaptors (IPOD - LOD with mini plug - adaptors - mini to RCA cable) LOD with female mini plug (to be used...

Anyone can tell me how to find the serial number of Sennheiser HD5**/6**? Thanks
