I currently own the following rig: Source: PC + Musical Fidelity V-DAC Amp: Graham Slee Solo Phones: HD800 and Edition9 I'm thinking of going balanced to fill my curiosity, but wouldn't want to spend money for a sidegrade (or worse: downgrade). So my question is: Which balanced DAC and...

I'm currently looking for a good USB DAC with a true line out to pair with my computer and have a hard time deciding between the Moodlab Dice and the Keces DA-151. I'll be using only USB for the moment, so I don't really need the other inputs on the Dice. Has anyone compared the two models...

I currently own (and think I'll keep for a long time) a pair of Grado HP2, Ultrasone Edition9 and Alessandro MS-Pro. I'd like to find a very good SS amp that has a great synergy with all of these headphones, and I'm currently heading to RSA (which I know well as I have owned (or still own) a...

I'm looking for a nice SS amp to go with my Edition9 and MS-Pro and Rudistor seems to be a good choice regarding the E9. Maybe the NX03 or RPX-33 But what about the Grado / Alessandro? Do they pair well with the Rudistor amps?

As I'm not really fond of the synergy between my MS-Pros and Opera and I won't really need a internal DAC anymore, I'm going to sell it and buy a new SS amp. I'd just like something with slam, punch and good synergy with both of my headphones, as I plan to keep them and won't buy any other...

I need to get a DAC for my office rig. But I'd like it to be portable and have an amp section, so that I can bring it with me when I travel for work. So I was looking at some portable amps with DAC like the Pico or Predator. But my concern is that AFAIK, the two models cannot be used as a...

Before I move to my new flat I was very happy with my MS-Pro. But now that I live with my girlfriend there is more noise around me when I listen to my music and I think it's time to get some good closed cans With the years I've had the opportunity to use some very good open cans, but my only...

I've just read from Mapletree Audio Design website that the HD2 has been discontinued and I'm wondering why Does anyone have some information about it??

As I use an amp mostly at home, I've decided to sell my Porta Corda and go with a desktop amp. My source will be my PC with an Audigy sound card directly plugged to the amp, and I'll see later if I need a DAC or not. I listen mostly to electronic music (from calm stuff to industrial noise )...

I currently have a pair of SF5P with custom earmolds. I was wondering what kind of model I can plug to my earmolds without having to reshape them. AFAIK the Shure SE530 and Westone UM2 / 3 (?) tips are not compatible with the SF5P. Is it correct? And what about the Triple.fi? Are they the...

I own a pair of Alessandro MS2 with headphile C-Pads and I'm currently thinking of upgrading to MS-Pro. I really like the general sound signature of my MS2s, and the C-pads help enlarging soundstage. What can I expect to gain with MS-Pro?

I've bought these cans some time ago and I don't know which model they are in fact: MS2 or MS2i? Tx for the help Picture of my Alessandro cans

I currently own a Beyer DT990 post 05 250 ohms that I drive with a Porta Corda MKIII-USB. I love its sound, except the harsh highs that are really tiring. I was thinking of buying a Darth Beyer, and was wondering which one is closer to the DT990. I'd like to keep the soundstage of the DT990...
