Well, I considered selling these, but after giving them more listening time (after years of owning them) I just couldn't do it! :relieved: Don't tell my spouse, but these large headphones are going to be hard to hide! :deadhorse: I have an iFi Neo iDSD 2 DAC/Amp and I'm wondering if I should...

I did a search and found many "ancient" postings about the HD650. Rather than dig an old thread up I thought I'd start a new discussion about dusting off these wonderful headphones that I had long negleted. Recently I purchased a iFi Neo iDSD 2 and I finally got around to giving the HD650 (with...

https://wyred4sound.com/products/dac-2v2-series I've got a good friend that would like to add BT functionality to this DAC. It has no headphone port as expected. I think he feeds this DAC with a cabled streamer. Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcome!

I searched the forums and found many older postings. But, I didn't find any answers that made sense to this audio sampling simpleton. :relieved: My equipment chain is: Apple M1 Mac Mini Schiit Audio Asgard 3 with True Multibit DAC card. My cabled headphones are: Dan Clark Aeon Noir Sennheiser...

His Oppo DAC is dying. He uses it in conjunction with a desktop amplifier. But here comes the interesting part. He does use it in a manner with his TV external sound system that he wants to: 1. Lets him keep it on all the time so he can use his remote to engage the system, without having to...

My spouse in not into headphones like I am. But I've been looking for some ANC earbuds that have great ANC, and use a neck cradle so she does not lose the earbuds while doing gardening/air travel. I do know that the Bose QC have been discontinued I believe. She previously had wired Bose QC20...

Well Apple did step up the sound of the AirPods with the AirPods Pro2 IMHO. To be honest I've resisted the AirPods for many years. Most of the time you are going to find me with full sized over the ear headphones. This just goes to show you that you can indeed, "Teach an Old Dog New Tricks"...

I was hoping to adding aptX capabilities for streaming music using Apple Music and Tidal. I have B&W P8 and M&D MW75 that I believe supports aptX. After plugging in the Sennheiser USB adaptor I'm not sure what to do next. I have looked at the MacMini's BlueTooth settings, but I'm not seeing any...

Hi all! A cable did come with these headphones making possible connection. But it is a little too short for my desktop and gets in the way of my computer mousing. I did contact Moon Audio, but I don't think I did a good job of posing the question about whether or not they offer such a cable. If...

https://www.moon-audio.com/chord-anni-review https://www.hifipig.com/chord-electronics-anni-integrated-desktop-amplifier/ Some year ago I had their portable/battery headphone amplifier and used it at the office. I'm sorry I ever sold it. That is why this Anni looks interesting for small desks...

introducing-mw75-active-noise-cancelling-wireless-headphones-1 Well now, these look interesting! It isn't available yet, but there are some pre-release reviews out. I think it will be interesting how these do compared to Apple's AirPods Max headphones (which I own). Anyone else intrigued by...

In May I'm traveling to Yosemite and then Scotland. I will use B&W I7 earbuds on the plane. But, I'd like to put in my check-in bag either my B&W P7 or Apple AirPods Max (full sized headphones). As these headphones have built-in batteries is this going to be an issue if they are in my check-in...

After two years of COVID no travel I'm finally breaking out to visit family for a week. Now I have to make choices on headphones. Yes, I'm a headphone addict. So I'll be taking at least 2-3 headphones. Yes, at least one mustl have ANC for the plane, and spouse's TV watching in the hotel room...

Two and half months ago. I ordered some accessories/parts from B&W for my MM1 Computer Speakers and headphones (a headphone plug adaptor and cable extension for the MM). Recently I received notice from some company called Encompass that one part of the order was cancelled (by them) and one was...

https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/products/hi-fi/dacmagic/dacmagic-200m I was wondering if MQA is worth having as a Tidal user? Also does BT support really worth it? Does it degrade wired connection that I'd prefer anyway? Any other thoughts on the desig/specs would be great, as most of it...

All, I have a good friend that is not a headphone guy. He has very high end B&W and McIntosh equipment (with lots of vinyl). He only wants a DAC, not a Pre-Amp. or a headphone amp. Pre-Amp or BT with every input and output know to man :rolling_eyes: I think he is setting up another high end...

Hello, I popped for "HiFi" today and was wondering how best to get the best output from a Late 2015 iMac either via optical or USB. I'm using optical right now. I went into Audio Midi and cranked it up to 2 Channel 32-bit 96.0 kHZ which seems to be the "highest" scroll down selection. I have to...

I need a longer cable in order to reach my headphone amplifier. Is cabling the M&D even worth it?

Well the Pandemic has me listening even more to my existing headphones. Frankly, I think the P9's are a bit underrated. So I'm willing to pop for an upgraded cable. I know that is probably tricky with the proprietary headphone cub jack. Would that make any cable upgrade null? Any advice would...

Hi all! I finally decided to try out Tidal. Only popped for "High" but thinking of going to Tidal HiFi. Right now the sampling rate is coming in at 44Khz. Is there something I should be doing on the iMac to improve this? Would going to Tidal HiFi be worth it with my equipment? I do have some...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if Head-Fi folk were re-discovering old headphones given our current work from home situation? For me the light weight of the HD-650 and non-fatiguing sound really work for me during all day sessions in front of the computer. So, share your rediscovery finds with...

I put a feeler out about Nura headphones, and also tried to generate a discussion on what might be a trend, or a dead end for headphone lover's. As you may or may not know Nura is now offering a subscription service that allows for the use of there Nura headphone for 24 months. After emailing...

Well, I was happily listening to this via streaming, and was enjoying the music. I really like their earlier work bit better, but still I'm enjoying it. I Googled it and came across this review...

Yesterday I got an interesting e-mail indicating that he company was now offering a subscription service. While I looked at these headphones some time ago, I didn't bite. However, I found the terms of the new subscription service reasonable enough to go ahead and subscribe. Details on the...
