    Options for home theater Bluetooth?

    So I want to be able to have a setup near the couch for our home theater for when I need it. I want something that can BT to my HTPC, and connect to a standard headphone amp. HPTC is a very far distance, so anything cabled is out of the question. Any ideas on a product that would work for me?

    Amp/dac combo for d2000

    So I found a pair of denon d2000’s to scratch my itch. Looking for a usb dac/amp combo to drive them. I have my old favorites from back when I ran this can, but I’m looking for something more budget friendly as this is just a secondary setup. Maybe around 180-240 or so. Any ideas?

    Denon AHD2000 Replacement

    So I'm looking for a pair of 2000's. Have a post up, but it looks like it will be tough to do. For some reason, the d2000's are probably my favorite full size headphones of all time. Something about them just agree with me. Is there anything out there that would be a pretty good replacement...

    http://www.head-fi.org/t/759071/la-figaro-336c-with-tube-compliment#post_11569818   Just a heads up. I've had MANY transactions on these forums and this is my first problem. People are generally trust worthy and honest, but it just takes that single turd in the punch bowl...

    Guide me to my first "Upper" end headphone

    Hey guys,   After owning just about everything under the 1k mark, I think its time to go above that. A little background.   I've owned just about every major dynamic under the 1k mark, a few planar magnetic, and only recently electrostatic.   I've been in love with the Denon AHD...

    Restoring Lambda STAX

    Hey guys,   I have a pair of Lambda's that need a little TLC. The most pressing issue is the interior foam. Its in pretty bad shape. Off lesser concern is the metal grills in the cups. They have some pretty bad oxidation, and I would like to replace them if possible.   Anyone know the...

    Whats the best way to open woddie grado's?

    I have a pair of HF-2's I want to open up to rewire. Yes, useless but I like all my cables to match. (Hello OCD)   Whats the best way to open the woddies? I'm guessing its much more involved than plastic as wood expands and contracts. Any ideas?

    How do you travel with your 3k setups?

    I recently put together my first true portable. I'll be using a IMod 256GB with a Pico Slim and Heir Audio 8.A's. Quite an investment and I want to make sure it gets treated well.   Just wonder how people travel with their setups? I'm a bit weary to leave it sitting in a backpack pocket. Do...

    When I have a listening session I like to........

    Sit in the couch with a cigar and glass of brandy. Something I picked up from my father. My wife makes me open the doors to my study to let the smoke out but other wise its the same thing he used to do. Sit back for an hour or two and just relax.       Everybody else pipe in!

    1964-Q Sub-Bass

    I'm trying to find a custom that will give me the same sound signature as my Denon 2k's. Do the quads have the sub-bass I'm looking for? I've seen some mixed reviews reguarding the low end of the quads and the tripples.       Thanks

    iBasso PB1 Toucan Review

    **Note this is my first product review, be kind!**     The past few months have been a journey in portable audio. My job has me traveling quite a bit, and in an effort to bring a little “home” with me I started auditioning quite a few portable solutions.   I started my way at the...

    holding it all together.... literally.

    As the title states, what does everyone use to hold their kit together?   In the past I simply used velcro to keep everything tidy, but sense switching to the PB1 (About to be PB2) and DB2 combo I've been on the lookout for something a little more classy. Any opinions?

    Comments on DB1 + PB1 combo?

    Just picked up the PB1 for my new portable amp, and im really looking at the DB1 to replace my current DAC. Can anyone tell me about its general SQ? I really like the idea of being able to bring some of my balanced cans with me when I travel and this seems like a pretty good option.

    I think the denon 2k's are a gift directly from God

    So whats my next step?   I have quite a few headphones. From sen 600's, 650's, m50's, a700's, 325i's and on and on, but for pure musical enjoyment I always reach for my 2000's. They tick all my boxes. Musical, a little dark, decently detailed without being annoying, and deep as a well.  ...

    Is My Problem the Interconnect?

    My "portable" rig at the moment is Laptop-> Fiio E10 -> JSDLabs CMoyBB -> Denon AHD2000's.   When I run the volume a little high (Not nearly high enough to make the speakers distort by themselves) I get some distortion in the low end. This distortion is not present (even at volume levels...

    jmoney Denon leather earcup owners....

    Hey guys, just wonderd which one of these you felt was the correct account for someone looking at a pair.   1. There great, but wait until the stock ones degrade.   2. Totally a must. Great changes to both comfort and sound.   3. Eh... didnt really do anything.

    Correct settings for running line output to amp from DAC?

    I've always wonderd about this....   My portable setup,   Laptop ---> Fiio E7 DAC ----> JDS Labs cMoy ---> Denon ahd2000's.   When adjusting volume, what would be the correct procedure for max SQ?   Should I set windows output to max, FIIO to Max and adjust sound via the cMoy?

    HD448 mods?

    Hey guys,     I love my 448's. They are my usual go-to for when I'm on the move because of their decent output and their cheapness. (If they get crushed in my backback by accident I wont cry myself to sleep) As I have seen noted, and noted myself, the seal leaves quite a bit to be desired...

    Is this good enough? (For me)

    Hey guys, have a few questions, While I don't consider myself an audiophile by any means, I do enjoy a decent sounding pair of headphones for my PC. I currently have a pair of HD555's, and their my only real experience with high(ish) end phones. However, lately I've been wondering if I'm...

    hd555 and x-fi help

    Hey everyone, first time "pretty decent" headphone owner with a few questions. I drive the headphones from my logitech Z-5500 port. 1. Does it matter what sets the volume level? As it should I set the x-fi sound to 50% and control with the z-5500's to get the best sound or does it matter...
