Thanks, that's exactly my choice:)

Larry, thanks for your opinion and your PM:)   Considering the fact that the Cantate.2 can only use the USB port of my laptop, while the HDP has optical and coaxial inputs( which I'd be able to use with the M2TECH HiFace ), would it be more interesting to get the HDP + HiFace?   Thanks...

Hi guys,   I've been looking for some options to replace my recently sold Cantate.2( which I regret doing ). Initially, I was looking to get the Symphony.2, but it's way out of my wallet's league.   I started thinking about cheaper options to use at home, listening to CDs and lossless...

I just sold my Cantate.2 but now I'm kinda regreting it. I was interested in getting the Symhpony.2, but it's very expensive.   Which good DAC/AMP for about $600 can you recommend me? I'll use it mostly connected to my laptop and listening to CDs and lossless files.   Note that I'm from...

Quote: Yeah, I did;)   EDIT: Actually, searching again, I found one which is not marked as sold, and the last bump was in June. What a crapy search function..

Sorry, double post.  

Quote: Lenni, if I get the HiFace and a DAC/AMP which supports SPDIF, I won't be needing a new soundcard, right?  

Lenni, thanks for your insight, actually I have thought about getting the HiFace, but my Cantate.2 doesn't have a SPDIF input. I'd have to upgrade my amp, which is not a bad idea:D

Uncle Erik, thans for your comments.   But the Cardas didn't even take the vein out? I understand that the cable only won't make a night and day difference, but won't it brighten the sound at least a bit?

Hello guys,   I'm looking to upgrade my HD650s and thought about some cables. Also I have already done an extensive search in this forum to read about my options, and although I really liked what I read about the Zu Mobius, the budget wouldn't allow me to get one. Also, note that I'm in...

this little amp looks amazing, sounds amazing and is truly amazing! OT: hockey, where did you get those jenas for your TF10?

If you don't need a DAC, my advice would be on the Meier XXS/HeadSix. Great little devices, use a 9V battery for a loooong time( estimated 100 hs ), and great soundstage and clarity, like all Meier amps. I had one and I really enjoyed it, but I sold it since I already had a 2Move and got a...

I guess that the SXC mini-to-mini will do a great job in your case. I'll certainly get one when I get my Pico DAC to use with my SR-71A

I'm guessing that Zu Mobius doesn't ship overseas right? I saw that they have a representative here in Brazil, so if I try to buy from them they will probably tell me to buy directly from him. I'm also wondering which cable should I get for my HD650, and there are several options: Equinox...

Another question Ken: If I ask for a Neutrik 1/4 plug, or a Cardas plug, will I pay for that or it's already included in the current price of the cable? Thanks again, Ricardo

Also, you can take a look at the same pictorial review between the two of them and check that the frequency response is much better in the E5, being more controled and better responses even when used with Bass mode on.,

ALO Audio I'm so sorry Ken, it does make clear that it can be terminated in a mini or a 1/4 plug. Which adapter can do you use/sell with your mini plug? Is it possible to make the cable with other mini plug other than the Canare? Like gold plated mini plugs, as the ALO SXC iPod Cable I...

Would the P-51 be a step up over the SR-71A?

X2 for sure

I'm finding my RSA SR-71A perfect for listening to electronica. You won't regret getting a RSA amp for your current setup. Unfortunately, Ray has run out of parts for new SR-71A, so if you find an used one being sold, don't hesitate, especially with your budget. People are getting very...

Congratulations, Jan Meier manufactures wonderful amps!

That's my opinion as well, but in this case, if I want to use my HD650s with my portable rig, iPod + SR-71A, I'll have to use a 1/4 to mini connector, and I haven't seen a good one that doesn't have a short piece of cable between the connectors. The stock HD650's cable is like that. And that...

Ken, I'm looking to get the ALO SXC Sennheiser cable in the future( not really sure when, because I'll probably need to get a SXC RCA to RCA and a SXC mini to mini from you before ) but in your website the photo shows the cable with a mini plug. I wonder if it's possible to produce one...

I'm using a Meier Cantate and it has a really good sinergy with my HD650s, I just want to get a new cable to "open" the sound a bit, giving it a little more detail yet being warm and smooth as it is. Not sure which cable though. Bought the Cantate for $470 shipping included, so it's not that...
