I hope, but I doubt, the next Pixel phone will have this. The removal of the headphone jack on the Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL was almost a deal breaker for me.

Yes I saw that. Thank you for posting it. However, I'll probably never do the mod; I don't have the tools and as simple as it seems, I just don't want to take the unnecessary risk of breaking something. I think Schiit is leaving a good portion of customers on the table by not having the...

I'd love to have the Sys in reverse without having to keep volume all the way up (defeats my intended use of controlling powered monitors...) Instead, I bought a Mackie Big Knob Passive. It's a 2x2 with other features (Mute, Mono, Dim) and a source select and monitor select. Best $69 I spent...

Awesome. I've shopped at Musicians Friend since I was in high school. Glad to see the pro audio and audiophile worlds coming closer together. Although, prices are a bit high. $499 for Sennheiser HD 650?! Come on!

The Handsome Family - Far From Any Road (great binaural experience) Norah Jones - Don't Know Why Barbara Bonney - Ave Maria (my personal favorite test for vocals, specifically in the upper range) Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son Rush - Tom Sawyer The Animals - House of the Rising Sun Whodini -...

Yes I edited my post, then I re-edited and removed the part about .wav files, and then posted that as it's own reply. LOL I think there may be more demand than we realize. I mean, who would've thought there was room for Spotify when iTunes dominated? And who would've thought there was room...

Now if Tidal or some other service ever streams studio master .wav files and I can get vinyl quality sound, I'd pay up to $50/month for that! Listening to records on my speaker+sub set up is unreal when it comes to low end. If I can instantly stream and create playlists of all my favorite...

+1 I've been using Spotify for 7 years and have dozens upon dozens of playlists set up. I continue to pay the $10 for Premium because of their wide selection (every now and then Spotify has a track that Tidal doesn't) and my playlists (they got me locked in!) but as far as quality, I notice...

+1 I've listened to a few Masters 24/192 tracks (according to my Meridian Explorer 2 notification lights) and they sound discernibly better (more detail, fuller range, etc) than their HiFi version, and significantly better than their Tidal Premium version. And I've listened to other Masters...

Thanks DavidA. From what I've read, it seems the 58x Jubilee is closer to a 660s than the 650. And I'm not willing to pay the premium for marginal benefit from a 660s. Also, I don't foresee getting a higher end amp within the next 6 months; I might in 9-12 months. This leaves the 58x as...

For female contralto vocals (Norah Jones, Adele, Cher, Karen Carpenter), which would be the better headphone: 600 650 660 58x Jubilee I'm using a Meridian Explorer 2 DAC and Magni 3 amp, streaming Tidal HiFi/Masters. Thanks!

Hi all. I posted this on another forum, but head-fi seems like the better place to get answers... I just bought the Schiit Modi 2 + Magni 3 for a new set of headphones. I also bought the Mackie MR524 and MRS10 sub (I produce/mix music). Currently I have the gear set up as such: PC > Modi 2...
