    Beyerdynamic iDX 200 iE impressions?

    Extraordinary, almost electrostatic sounding, very extended, but with very DEEP and tight bass that ESL's usually lack. Natural, uncolored, dynamic, nuanced and very detailed, Anyone who has not heard these - and compared them with anything out there YES, THAT IS A CHALLENGE - is doing a...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    There's no problem using the LG V10 with Mojo. The V10, btw, has the best mobile DAC I've heard, and obviously it is very convenient to use on the road with my Audeze LCD-X. The Mojo is better of course with the V10, but you need a good cable and connection to make it work the best. I have no...

    Reply to review by 'agb100' on item 'Chord Electronics Mojo'

    We need to recognize the reality of interactions between electronic devices - for example, headcans and DACs. All headphones need to be equalized to the DAC/amp you are using. And arguably, to your ears. The MOJO is voiced a little darkly to match many IEMs for portable use which tend to sound...

    Review of Audioquest JitterBug - USB Data & Power Noise Filter.

    The reviewer states: "I don’t expect everybody to hear the same results using this little device, but the difference will be more apparent using higher end audio equipment (quality usb DAC or standalone DAC and less colored high res headphones) playing higher resolution lossless audio." The...

    Al, in the private you may have misunderstood me. I heard the music on MP3 file from Amazon over the internet. I bought the CD you recommended and am awaiting its delivery, but won't hear it for a while with the Hugo.

    Owl dude is correct. There's a lot of myth passing off as fact. The DaVinci is a great DAC, but it is arguable whether or not a discrete ladder dac (as opposed to a chip) has any concrete advantages other than the control of precision resistors - which, btw, can be had with common chips. In all...

    Thanks ALRAINBOW, I bought the CD. Good music there, we'll see about the sound.

    Someone else is making electronics? Who?   Seriously, I love the hobby, and as a pro I take great pains to remain objective in the general sense. As I said, most electronics start our as a black box, breadboarded circuits, computer modeling and a scientific calculator providing answers to...

      The details are there with the best IEMs, however they are not there in the correct proportion spatially, dimensionally, texturally and tonally. The details are also "in your face," a phenomenon the best headphones avoid entirely. That is the reason recording engineers and post production...

    I'm a little concerned with a preference for IEMs on many threads. The fact is, no IEM in my experience comes close to the best orthodynamic headphones available. OK, for road-only use the IEMs may be a better choice. For home, desktop, not close. The best headphones are significantly more...

    I think we're missing the big picture.   A DAC is a computer. So is an iPhone. So was the Motorola flip phone. Can we say the iPhone is several orders of magnitudes superior to a 15 year old Motorola RAZOR?   We can. In a similar fashion as a computer, the Hugo is far more sophisticated and...
