I thought I'd start this thread, as there was a bunch of activity regarding these headphones on the recent CanJam Impressions thread.  Prototypes will continue to appear at upcoming meets and shows, so it seems appropriate to start a thread for impressions - knowing full well that these are a...

The long awaited release of the Oppo HA-1 headphone amplifier was today.  It doesn't look like there is an impressions thread yet, so I'll open one up.  Let's keep this to impressions only please.   There are a few beta testers out there that have heard the unit starting back last year.  ...

I am looking for a solution similar to the iPure i-20.  I know the iPure i-20 with a 30 pin to lighting connector will do the trick.  I'm looking for a similar solution that does not require a 30 pin to lightning adapter, and does not cost as much as my now sold Centrance HIFI-M8.   Desires...

I'd like to try the HE6 with my CEntrance HIFI-M8 once it ships.   I did a quick search, and didn't find an HE6 owner's hang out thread, hence the new thread.  Basically, I'd like to try the HE6 with my soon to ship CEntrance HIFI-M8.  I'm afraid it will be underwhelming, but I'd like to...

Here is the link:  http://www.burningamp.org   It is in Fort Mason Center in San Francisco on 10/28/12.  I'm going to try and make it in about 10 am and hang for a couple or 3 or 4 hours.   EDIT: I did get to attend - Brief Notes in another thread.

This seems like the right place for this - If anyone is having issues setting up an older Airport Express to work with one of Uverse's 2Wire Uverse modem/routers, read below, this may help.   I was struggling to get my older "G" protocol airport express to hook up as a music streamer from my...

I just picked up an Apogee Duet 2.  It is a cool piece of kit, and it pairs very nicely with my DT130.  There are 2 issue that keep the pairing from being excellent:   1) output impedance of the duet 2 is about 35 ohm.  Using the 8x rule, somewhere around 250 to 300 ohm would be about right...

I ran across what might be a decent deal on a Fluke 97.  It is north of 10 years old, barely used, $500.  I really have no immediate use for this, but it is kinda cool.  Ebay has (well) used items around $400 +/-. Reconditioned runs $600 to $1500.   So, comments on the price, and even...

I have been eyeballing the CEntrance DacPort LX for a couple of weeks, sort of waiting for it's release.  I checked the CEntrance site on a whim today, and it is released, with a sale (I found the sale posted in their blog).  Until July 4th, OR the first 50 units sell, whichever comes first, $50...

*** EDIT *** This started out as a Q and A post, apparently either poorly written or lame...  It is now an occasional chronicle of my reconfiguring.   My concerns with Portable gear: I listen at low volume levels, and have trouble with the likes of the Headstage Arrow (too much gain.  Rob...

I put an impulse bid on a 4G 64 GB Touch and won. It was a pretty decent price at least. I was planning to get a refurbed 5.5G. I have a couple of questions. 1) Should I be thrilled? 2) Does any one have experience with Square Trade warranty? 3) Should I bother with a warranty for it?

I'm looking for a portable headphone similar to my D7000'sbut not exactly like them.   Closed.  Good isolation, both for external sounds and for leakage.  Less present bass, a bit more present mids.  The same wonderful, detailed but not brittle highs.   Over the ear, not on the ear...

Drum roll please!  Trumpets and fanfare!   I am starting this thread with my One Thousandth Post!   OK, everyone return to what you were doing.  Move along.  Nothing to see here...

Here's the link to the UDAC, audiogon listing #1291054607   http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?dgtlconv&1291054607   The add has links to the BUDA and DPS.  Pricing looks pretty decent to me:   UDAC:  $780   BUDA:  $1020   DPS:  $300   Total:  $2100   Not my ad, I...

I am not finding what I'm looking for with the search function, so...   I'm hoping to hear from frequent fliers on head-fi.  I may end up travelling for work frequently again....  In the past, I've used any number of higher end IEM's with good success as far as noise cancelling while...

Hello all, There really are not enough reviews of Headroom's amps here!  In order to help remedy that, I have started my review thread in the "Full Size Amps" forum, and thought it might be appropriate to cross post the link here:  ...

This thread will grow into a review of the Headroom "Ultra Desktop Amp" with the Max amp module and Max dac.  Mine is a just aquired 2008 model, with the no longer available stepped attenuator as well.  Mine also includes the Desktop Power Supply.  For the record, I will likely never audition it...

I'm thinking of downgrading my headphone rig a bit to see if I can free up a little extra cash to put into my new obsession - the speaker rig.   Currently: Digital Source A mac mini streaming to airport express - that part stays, at least the ability to stream.  There are better options...

I am building a speaker rig after many (many) years of absence from a good rig.  My source / preamp / amp will be a Peachtree Nova streaming from a mac mini and/or an airport express, a DVD player (lowish end) via digital coax, and a DIYMod via analog input.   The contenders so far:  ...

My full size rig is getting settled in, finally. It is my IEM rig I am struggling with! I have an iPhone 3GS and a DIYMod 5.5G sources, and a Pico Slim on pre-order. This part is pretty well set, as I got to hear the Pico Slim at the SF Bay area meet a couple of weeks ago, and it is a fine...

I am searching for a pair of high end universals, with a detachable cable. I do have the TF10, which has the detachable cable. I like the sound signature just fine ( a bit colored, but fun). Even with the flip mod and complies, it feels like a bolt is in my ear... Yeah, once I figure out the...

Jerry Harvey and I traded a couple of emails last week regarding his product line. I am in the market, and asked for descriptions of his product line, save for the JH7, which I've read is the touring musician's tool of choice. Jerry graciously gave me permission to post his reply: Here it is...

Thought I'd try here in the accessories forum: B&H Photo has a nice sale on these. Anyone know anything about them? They record in either MP3 up to 320, or Linear PCM. What, exactly is linear PCM, and what type of software do I need to work with a linear PCM file? This seems like a cool...

B&H Photo has a nice sale on these. Anyone know anything about them? They record in either MP3 up to 320, or Linear PCM. What, exactly is linear PCM, and what type of software do I need to work with a linear PCM file? This seems like a cool recorder, but with questionable file formats? Yamaha...
