Hifiman ftw.

How would you guys compare the DI-v3 with and without the dedicated PSU ? Without the PSU is it still comparable with the audiophilleos ? Would also a good 3rd party linear PSU improve the DI-v3 ?   Thanks.

Quote: Thanks. I'll sure be rewarding them too with a nice DAC soon. Still deciding on which one will go nice with the V200 though.

Quote:   I was in a similar position a week ago. Got my HD800s for a few days now and starting to like them more day by day. They are in a different class as compared to my HE-500s. The wait was well worth.

Thanks. I find the HD800s a little bright on some genres, for example rock, metal. But I love them on classical and jazz. And, depending on the recording, I seem to detect some sibilance. I plan to try this week the Anax v1 mod to see if I can tame down that brightness a little. If the loss in...

Hey guys,   I've been following this thread closely as I'm looking for a high end DAC to go with my HD800 and V200. From what I understand and what GG says, the X-Sabre wouldn't go nicely with the V200 as the Violectric has a kind of tubey sound. Project86, would you agree with this ? Have...

Hey guys,   I'll be receiving my Bushmaster this week. I'm currently using a Aune T1 as a DAC + a v200 in my HD800 rig. I'll be posting impressions comparing the Bushmaster to the Aune. For the moment, I'll be using the toslink connection to my onboard Realtek soundcard, as I don't have yet...

Sent you a PM with the PDF.

Hi guys,   I'm looking for a nice transparent, detailed and neutral DAC and considering the Octave MK1 as an option. Can anyone tell me if the Octave is 110/230V user switchable ?   Thanks.

Quote:   I'd be interested in one Ultron PCC189. I recently got the Aune T1 from a fellow head-fier here (negura).

Hey Mattimis,   Did you have any time to compare the D20 to HRT MSII+ and M stage Dac ? I was thinking to buy the D20 to replace my xonar DX as a source, but I'm concerned about the USB input of the D20 being capable of only 16bit/48khz (I could connect it using optical though, but I would...
