If you dont need the streamer, get the ifi zen one signature Dac.

@iFi audio What's the difference then between the dac stages of the Zen One Signature DAC and the Neo? How about the analog stage? All things, consider, you still think the Zen One Signature DAC is on par of maybe better as a stand alone DAC for hifi?

Thanks for the reply. I’m using the zen one sig for my hifi as a stand alone dac. So does this mean, no need to change to the ifi neo? No need for preamp and headphone amp.

@iFi audio is there a big difference from the ifi zen one signature dac vs the ifi idsd neo…dac wise? I’ve git the zen one sig with the ifi ipower elite psu. Sound great! But Im thinking if there’s a massive diff in sound or character.

225 for value for money! But in terms of being the best (money not an issue) would be RS1...haven't heard the PS though

hands down 225s! Best Grado value for money wise

Does anybody know any shop who recable grado cans? Haven't asked Jaben though.

Hi guys, Just auditioned the two amps today. I liked both with my SR225. I'll be buying the RS1 in the future so I just want to get a ss amp first. the V8 is a little more expensive. I also plan to get a different can in my set-up, HD650 or 701 prolly. With these plans, do you think the...

D3 goes for SGD 300

Hi guys, been using my SR225 as portable for about a month now. I think i'll stick with these and have them recabled once I finish my home/desktop rig - with an RS-1. I really can't stay away from the grado sound and the big sound of headphones. Although it leaks and does not provide great seal...

This is also my first audiophile / value for money cans. I use it now with my ipod 5.5g unamped and it sounds really great, especially with 256 AAC or ALAC. Straight from my macbook, they still sound great though a little thinner than with the IPOD. Tried them with ipod and D3, the bass was...

Try to audition the 225. I have mine, but I just might get the RS-1 in the future.

I have auditioned the TF10, but I really don't want to go the IEM route. Still want to stay with headphones. I might just use my 225 as my portable can.

I have a stock pair, and it has tight and accurate bass when amped. Still got love for my 225's. Enjoy man!

Hi guys, I love my SR225, and I plan to buy an RS-1 for my home rig. I want to build my portable rig as well. I have 5.5g Ipod, then use D3 then plan to use ESW9 or 10. Will I like the sound sig? I love the sig of grados...I auditioned the ESW10, it's a bit lacking for me in details and...

Ok thanks man! will try it
