for the past five years or so i have been using a darkvoice 336i to drive my senn hd650. although i have been relatively happy with that setup, i feel its time to upgrade. i'm currently considering a woo wa6-se. with shipping, that puppy runs just shy of $1100. i would welcome suggestions for...

i ordinarily go for the circumaural headphone type. i have several Senn cans, including the HD650s. i recently picked up a new pair of Klipsch Custom 1 in-ears for $5 at Guitar Center.   dunno much about in-ear stuff, but for five bux, how could i go wrong?  well, they don't sound half bad...

i have the latest versions of both flash and java, do i need older versions or something else entirely?  using google chrome & windows xp...   THANKS!   EDIT:  seems to be intermittent, cuz now they are showing.  must be a server issue...

Anybody have one of these? B-stock, but still Marantz... Stupid Deal Of The Day! | Musician's Friend

I have read many threads about the varying quality of the internal DAC circuitry in stand-alone CD/DVD players, but I have not seen anything addressing the variance, if any, of optical/coaxial digital output signals. Surely they must vary by manufacturer as well. Or is digital 'digital' and...

Just got mine this morning and have been looking thru the manual & various menus. Have heard it is a real bee-atch to setup, but looks pretty straightforward to me. My only concern is how many of the various modules would be uselful in this application (headphones only)? I bought it mainly...

I'm sure this has been discussed here in the past, but I was unable to find it using the search tool. I am curious about this mod from the APS website: APureSound - Where The Music Is Always Pure - APS Audio LLC. I have HD650s and am willing to perform this if it will make them sound...

I have an Entech 203.2 that I picked up several months ago on evilbay for 100 bucks. It still works and sounds ok (better than the onboard DAC in the CDP, anyway), but I wouldn't mind upgrading if I can do it 'reasonably'. Mind you, I am not looking at spending $1000 or even $500. That being...

I've read the usual pros and cons (worth it/not worth it) of upgrade cables for Senn 580/600/650 and am wondering if there is ONE cable most people agree is a TRUE upgrade. I mean, one that most people actually notice an audible improvement. I recently got what I believe was a pretty good deal...

For the past few weeks I've been in some turmoil over deciding which cans to buy. Since I got my DarkVoice 336i a month or so ago, I have been wanting to upgrade my HD595s to either the 600 or 650. There are so many threads/opinions about both, positive and negative that I finally just decided...

A short while ago I scored an Entech 203.2 on ebay. I was planning it use it with a somewhat elderly Sony CD Recorder/Changer that I figured was inferior to even a moderately priced, standalone DAC such as the Entech. However, while I was waiting to receive the Entech I came across a fair...

I currently own four pairs of Senns, ranging from HD515 to HD595. I believe I am ready to try the HD600 now that I have an amp that should easily drive them (DarkVoice 336i), but the Y cable is holding me back. I am so used to left-sided cans that the thought of a Y cable scares me. Seems like...

...and lots of other routine chores that ordinarily I would accomplish on any given weekend without a second thought, but...I received my new DV336i a few days ago, a bunch of new music on top of that and I'll be damned if I can take these cans off long enuff to do anything constructive...If it...

I'm REALLY liking my new DV336i, even though it is still in the break-in period. The Senn HD595s sound pretty decent with it but now that I have a new amp, of course, I want new cans. Was thinking seriously about the K601, same price range as my HD595, but now I'm thinking about spending...

Intro: Let me preface this thread by stating that my audio gear is not high-end. In fact, its probably somewhere around mid/upper priced low end. It consists mostly of a conglomerate of off-the-shelf brand names available (at one time or another) from the so-called 'big box' stores. I have some...

Entech 203.2 for $100. Have a new DV336i on order from Jasmine, perhaps I can use this with that: I haven't decided how I'm going configure the DV rig, still researching and gathering components for it, but I don't want to spend alot, regardless. The seller said it has about 40 hours on...

I recently picked up a Yamaha DVD-C750 with SACD and DVD-A capability. The specs say it has a 24 bit, 192 khz DAC in it. Does that negate the need for an outboard DAC or what? I just ordered myself a DarkVoice 336i and am trying to line up everything else I might need before it arrives. THANKS!

I'm not sure I would be gaining anything. I currently own a few pairs of Senn cans that I use in various situations. The pair that get the most use are the HD595s which are the go-to cans for use with my Original Master setup. Although I am happy with all of the Senns, I'm tempted to know...

I am currently in the final stages of deciding which of these two amps to buy. From what I've read here, the DV consistently scores a bit higher. However, tube rolling capabilities have generally been a factor in those assessments. My question is, WITHOUT considering tube rolling, is the DV...

I have been using an Original Master SS amp with Behringer DAC for almost a year now and I'm fairly happy with it. However, I want to try something that glows in the dark now (tubes). Currently I'm looking at either a Little Dot MKIII or Lunchbox (I don't want to spend alot of money as I...

I received my new OM from Ping at AAA a couple days ago and finally was able to connect it up last night. This thing is still in the break in period, but here's what I think of it, right off the bat: 1-Appearance and build quality = Great 2-Worked the first time I powered it up = Always a...

Is there some reason this device is not talked more about here as an alternative to the DAC-AH? The Behringer appears to do so much more for less $$$... What am I missing? Have a look (link to the pdf manual on page): http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...ter?sku=182480

DHL is supposed to be delivering my new Original Master today and I am wondering now, about burn-in. Is this another one of those subjects that some feel is absolutely necessary and others believe is nothing more than a waste of time? The OM is a solid state device. Any...

Here's the deal: I have Senn 595s and an Original Master on order. Before they arrive, I am trying to assemble what other EXISTING components I have access to, which will provide the best performance. I have several stand-alone, home audio CD and DVD players. NONE of them are what I would...

Any opinions on using this unit as a CD SOURCE (analog) for my Senn HD595 and Original Master Headphone Amp combo? I have had the Sony for several years and used it a few times to RECORD CDs, but now I do that with my computer, so I had fogotten all about the Sony RCD-W500C in storage. I KNOW...
