    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    I'm heading to a local headphone meetup this weekend and was going to bring my new Atrium's for people to try. I have a few sets of pads but have not had a chance to really go through them and pick a favorite, but I want to bring a good set or two for the meetup. I don't currently have the...

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I recently updated to Tidal as the source for my TT2. I was expecting it to show a different color from Spotify in the port window showing a higher resolution. I'm still just seeing red, which I thought was lowest quality even on the hifi or Master options. Am I missing anything? Thanks.

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Post deleted. I figured out the answer to the questions I asked. I needed to restart my MacBook to get it to recognize the TT2 after it was plugged in the first time.

    Why isn't HQPlayer improving anything for me?

    Hmm... I have a Chord Hugo TT2 and was thinking fo trying Roon and HDPlayer to upsample instead of buying an m-scaler. I've never gotten to test this stuff and don't know if I would be able to hear anything. Can you run EQs profiles in Roon and run the HDPlayer upsampeling?

    LCD-X and XC Update

    I've had my LCD-X for a little over a month now and am super happy with them. For some of the music I like, they are clearly the best headphones. Some of the best praise I can give them is that if I'm listening to new music, I find myself liking more songs. I've gone back over a lot of of the...

    Spend my money!

    Sorry, I did not word that well and have gone back and edited the original question to make it clearer. I'm basically looking for the current solid recommendations for $200-$400 for someone looking to learn more about the IEM game.

    Spend my money!

    I've never really tried a good set of IEM and want to learn. Are there any go to recomendations for IEMs like the HD6XX/650 or HiFiMan Sundara/XS? I'm looking for a set, maybe two to play with and figure out what I'm into. In Headphones, I tend to like planners like Hifiman and Audeze. I...

    Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable

    I 3D printed and assembled this from a kickstarter design. Just a basic autiotechnica cartridge that I think I want to upgrade. Any advice?

    HiFi Rose RS250 Network Streamer

    I have been watching more and more Youtube, and Rosetube has some serious appeal to me if it would help me avoid all those ads. I don't have a separate DAC in that system with my TV and have just been using a receiver, even though it is just 2.1 channel. This has me wondering if I should...

    HiFi Rose RS250 Network Streamer

    I'm considering one of these and was wondering about Rosetube. How is the sound quality and availability? It has less availability than YouTube right? It is basically a big network of content HiFi Rose have the rights to from my understanding. Seems cool, but really depends on what is available.

    Streamer + CD Ripper

    I've been thinking of getting a streamer for a while and finally have a reason to just go for one. I mostly stream music now, but my father in law is downsizing offered up his CD collection. I like a lot of his music, and it is a big collection, so I want it but don't want to store the...

    Colorado Head-Fi Meet 2023 Saturday February 11th

    Very nice. I have wanted to hear a set of these for a while. I. hope my Chord Hugo TT2 can power them but I guess we will see. I can bring ZMF Atrium's or Audeze LDC-X as well.

    Upgrading from HD600 to either Arya V3,HD800s,LCD-X,MM500,Focal Clear,Aeon Noire? Need help with choosing.

    I have not tried the newest version of the HiFiMan Aria but I rank them pretty high myself. I'm not a fan of the HG800S and don't really see it as a step up to the HD600. More a step to the side with some strengths, but also weaknesses. Totally overpriced in my opinion. Now the LCD-X I think...

    Just ordered some new tubes for my Bottlehead Tube amp to get it back up and running. Anyone have any interest in trying a 2W Single Ended Triode tube amp?
