    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

    I don't see the evidence many, let alone most or all, Xfis are shipping. "A few" might be the best descriptor at this point. Don't mean to emphasize my situation, but as a yardstick if they haven't got to my order placed 12 minutes into the first night of the first campaign there's likely high...

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

    Looks like some Xfis are shipping. Great news. Just checked emails and I initially backed the Pulse (before upgrading later) under 13 minutes into the first night of the first campaign. Not sure how many snuck in earlier, nor how many of those upgraded to Xfis, but I should be pretty early on...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

      My point was it's ridiculous to talk price independent of quality expectations. And ahistorical to use subsequent price drops to indicate complaints made at launch. I was on the beta test and spent time with them early post-launch and although there were a variety of opinions (and still are)...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

      Yep, the price was too high for that lousy signature.

    Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

    In for one. Halfway to their goal in :30 and surprising few perk levels choosen. An awful lot of $199 and $239 'donations' though. Wonder what that could be?

    $350CAD HERUS: Asynchronous USB Audio 2.0, 24bit 352.8Ks/S, DXD and DSD64/128, 2.4VRMS Headphone DAC

    Any other impressions (especially with Senns)? Trying to decide between this and the Geek. Draws for both. Like the pedigree and 1/4" of the Herus. Geek versions have the power.

    2013 Bay Area Headphone Meet & Headmasters (CAS4) Impressions Thread (8/9~8/11)

    I was very impressed by The Abyss (though I've love their design to begin to focus on human heads), however I'm not sure I'd walk away with solid impressions of a 009 v. Abyss comparison with the Cavalli amp. Nothing against it, just I've heard the 009 sound better (say about 15 feet to its...

    APEX PINNACLE OR TWO OF THESE : ECBA & DNA STRATUS/ CAVALLI LG/ RSA DARK STAR

    Have heard the Pinnacle several times, own the Peak-Volc and spent significant time with the Arete. Perhaps the most telling indication is a pro-Peak con-Pinn position. Sounds like a issue in the chain to me.

    Sennheiser HDVD800 Headphone Amplifier

    Hopefully you're right, but keep in mind the motives of Grado, AT, Beyer, etc. were likely similar. And damn, I wish HF was more mobile friendly.
