Android phones and USB DACs
Hello gents. Anyone know if the Fostex HP-P1 works with the LG G3 from AT&T (D850)? Tried searching but no seemed to mention a definitive "YES".- ashutoshp

@Luckbad and @JMCIII Cheers for the clarification. There's indeed something buggy about this comments box as well. I have to wait a few minutes after clicking in this box before I can start entering any comments. Maybe something for the mods to look at.- ashutoshp

@JMCIII Great review. This is by no means a criticism but after reading your glowing assessment, I was somewhat surprised to find that you gave the headphones a lower rating for "Audio Quality" and "Value"? I'm just curious. Thanks.- ashutoshp

Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
Good question. Delta Sigma DACs I believe. Maybe a pro audio gent/gal can back me up or correct me. I am pretty sure there are just a handful of stand-alone DACs south of $1000 because the money/demand is of components upstream, i.e., the ADCs rather than the DACs. Makes sense TBH. I always...- ashutoshp

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
Cheers for this. I have been curious about what would be a good complement to the 400i but could you say in what sense the HD650 represents an upgrade? The reason I ask is because I have only once heard the HD650s for a few minutes through a Woo Audio tube amp. IIRC, I found it to have a...- ashutoshp

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
@swspiers +1 to his POV as I have a similar experience, albeit with the iPad Air. which says a lot about the iPad. But thinking out aloud, I'm wondering if this means that you need a really good amp like the Lyr and co. to take the 400i to the 'next' level.- ashutoshp

Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC
FWIW, I use the DC-1 with my Fidelio L1s and I am usually listening at the -20 to -40 setting on the DC-1 with absolutely no hissing whatsoever. The X2s should be even easier because according to Innerfidelity, at 35 Ohms, you need ~0.089 VRMS to reach 90 dB SPL on the X2, compared to the L1s...- ashutoshp
