    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    Just got my 8c in the mail. They sound as good as advertised, but I've got a question about the fit. I've had other CIEMs before, and they always sit flush in my ears. The 8c fits a bit weird. The bottom goes in perfectly, but the top sticks out quite a bit. Looking at the shell, it seems like...

    Hifi-m8 vs Asgard2/Bifrost + JDS C5D

    This is sort of a weird situation. I've been looking for a dac and amp for home and on the go. I narrowed down to either going for Centrance hifi-m8 (~$730) as a one stop solution or to spend a little more for an Asgard2 and Bifrost combo at home (~$730) with C5D ($250).   Here's my current...

    Sony's DSD-capable PHA-2 portable headphone amp/DAC

    I‘ve scoured the thread, but can't find any information. Can someone comment on the quality of PHA-2 as a pure dac vs something like essense stx? I'm building a new system, and I would like to have pc>dac/amp>amp that is capable of functioning as a dac/amp for my iphone while I'm on the go. I'm...

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    I noticed people have mostly been ordering and talking about 4C, 6, or K10. Other than two reviews, I haven't seen much talk about the 8C. I guess it's understandable, since it's sort of at a weird place in the totem, where for less, you could just get the 4C, and for a little more, you could...

    Possible fake ESW9 on eBay

    Hey guys, about to pull the trigger on an ESW9. I'm buying this locally in Hong Kong with the seller offering $217. I'm wondering if people can tell me if these look real or not: I'm planning on picking this baby up in person, and I'm opening the box before I pay. Any tips for spotting...

    need a fiancee to marry Denon AH-D2000

    Hmm, about the D2000, I have a related question. I'm using Touch 2G LOD + Mustang + IE8, which have been working perfectly. However, I wanted to get a full size headphone to use at home that can provide the punchy bass that can't be found in IEMs. After a bit of research, I found that D2000...

    Well, I have no problem with the sound of the amp, I'm sure it sounds fantastic. I just have a problem with Ray dismissing this as a non-problem. In the most recent email he sent me he said 'why are you making such a big fuss about such a small thing?'. Well, to me, once you choose the amp...

    How’s everyone’s experience with RSA’s customer service? I just placed my order a few days ago, and the most bizarre thing happened. Basically, I sent Ray an initital email asking to place an order for the silver amp (I wrongly identified the grey amp as silver) and asked him to give me...

    $200 for IEM similar to Denon AH-D2000? Need help ASAP!

    Sorry to derail, but does anyone know if D2000 requires an amp? I was trying it in the AC store in NYC today with my ipod, and it seems very lackluster. Seems like there wasn't any base impact at all. Also, the isolation seems terrible. I was under the impression that D2000 is supposed to...

    please cancel my headfi membership.

    I think he might be just trolling. There is really no point in deleting an account on the forum. Just don't visit the site, simple as that.
