Just took the dive, bought from a kind fellow in the forums.  I previously tried LCD-2 rev1s, which were amazing Hoping the LCD-3 can provide even deeper naturalism and musicality. 

Exactly! Always works out that way in life

Been waiting since December/November when they originally said it would be released. After all these months and still no news I am just gonna get ibasso dx100. Those who heard both say they are similar enough. Really wanted hifiman but it seems they are ignoring the US for this release.

Ordered orange in early Feb, hope they havent forgot about me

I'm considering Stax 007 or 009. I am wondering which one has better speed, impact and musicality? There is nowhere to try them out. Is Stax as good as they say? 

How long is the ETA for an order shipment/arrive? I ordered late March

No response to my emails :(

has it shipped yet for people order in january?

Would JH Audio send the impressions info I had from like a year ago, so I can use with another company? I emailed them a few times and got no response, and the one reply I did seemed unwilling. 

can you stream from a server to the hifiman?

Can you stream music to it from a server?

I am still more interested in this then the DX100. iBasso isn't exactly known for premium products, more affordable and 'good enough' high end products. Hifiman on the other hand represents the absolute best. I am also not interested in a slow and laggy android device, a hifiman is just a...

will the 802 work as a USB dac/amp? as USB or coaxial only?

electrostatic need its own amp, right? are there any dynamic ones that can achieve this quality?  

I need the headphones that specialize in speed, ones that can keep up with the fastest music, but make that hit the 'spot'.. smooth, euphoric, light speed. basically one that, if you are listening to slow music on it, you will feel annoyed because the headphone driver is telling you 'this is too...

I need an amp that sounds very 'warm' and 'euphoric', sweet midrange, good PRAT/musicality and awesome speed. something that hits the spot of emotions. my current set up is way too sibilent, it creates a clinical sound.

I don't think it is nostalgia because even before it i had a prior ed 9, and it didnt sound that good.  this one was different, the sound was silk smooth but faster than any other headphone. since then I've had probably five more edition 9s and none of them had that magic sound. I am going to...

in 2009 or so I had a set-up that was the best for me. It produced insane speed and resolution, it was other worldly. the set-up included recabled editon 9s, coming out of RSA portable amp, with a pico DAC... not very fancy I know. but it was the first time in headphones that magic happened and...

Even though ALO is my least favorite company due to several bad customer service experiences, I was able to listen to a continental last week. It is an extremely rich and smooth, detailed sound. Great for certain genres. Very 'vinyl-like' sound. It works very well for classical, jazz, folk...

Grado went downhill around after the GS1000 disappointed everyone. They were THE company of headfi for a while.   they released HF-2s which were a disaster of lazy construction and bad PR. they release a bunch of "-i" models which just confuse people. then they tried to get into the ipod...

ugh nvm

Quote:   That's not something new-- I'd like to warn everybody that ALO pulls this kind of crap time and time again, it is a company you should never deal with. they WILL screw you as they have to me twice and many others. They won't even fix the smallest thing, even on your dime. Their...

If you get used custom iems and reshell them, how close in your experience, to the actual sound were you to buy them officially?

what is the biggest storage ipod option, with no lag in using it? I tried the ipod classic 7th gen but it was way too laggy to scroll through it. is it ipod 5? I would also like hard drive upgrade for it. what is the highest upgrade available?

Is it the best dac amp in its price range? People said that about duet 1 but duet 2 is supposed to be better l
