Hi,   I am finalizing on what I may need to have a decent rig for approximately $1-1.5k. So far, I figure I want a decent soundcard, which in my opinion tends to be the ESI Juli@. As far as a DAC, I'm looking at either the Emotiva XDA-2, the TEAC UD-H01, or the Schitt Bifrost. I'm pretty...

I previously owned UM2s and loved the cables. They were extremely flexible and perfect, imo. I was wondering if anyone recables E500s. This is all I want to do atm. I did searches only to find ssome customer made e500s ffor someone in japan? well i dont really want anything else but the cable...

What is a decent desktop amp to go with the Lavry DA10? Do I really need one? Also are there different attributes to different upgrade cables (between Equinox, Zu Mobius, and Cardas cables) in terms of SQ? I mostly listen to rock music and am going to have my music on my internal HD in FLAC (if...

I really like how good their albums sound. I haven't had a whole lot of experience with older bands. But let me know what you think of them and maybe make suggestions to other bands I might like? Thanks

I have been reading up on features of the X5L and am leaning towards buying it. Mostly because of the FLAC playback. there are also other features that I believe I will truly love. I am passing my Zen V: M to my sibling. Largely due to the fact that I hear the X5 has really good sound output...

After listening to music through the UM2s, I have finally decided to send them back. I went ahead and ordered the e500-PTH. For me, it was a $70 change in price. I hear the e500s sound better with the RSA TH. I loved the way the UM2s sat in my ears and how they isolated the sound by blocking...

Got my TH today. Out of impatience, I drove over to Radioshack, after work, to buy some cables while I wait for my LOD and Mini to Mini cable. While there, I saw some headphones. Big cans, small cans. And cans that were in the middle. Realising how happy I have been with my HD650 and my...

How would you spend 950USD? -If you have a standard HD650 (standard in that the cable is stock and there's no add on) -If your only source of music at home is a PC -If you own a Zen Vision: M -If you want mobility/portability -Live an active lifestyle where you want to use your IEMs...

I finally got my HD650. Most of you guys are probably like,"So?!". This is my first serious HP. I bought these after the MDR V300s ate it one night. Since I'm waiting for the Cardas cable and the TH, I thought why not test drive these sans upgrades. So I popped in a CD into my computer(I...

Call me a dummie, but how do I delete this thread?

Hi all. I am new to Head-Fi and was trying to look for some feedback on Westone UM2. I just got into this hobby and I know nothing about any other IEMs. These will be my first high-end IEMs. I have a Zen Vision: M and am going to use the Line out for my source and plug it into a TH most of...
