    Atlanta Fall Meet

      Thanks, Matt! By the way, after listening to your HD 800, and also that of Purk and Frank, I think the HD 800 S will be my next headphone (and also maybe the EarPods). I'm loving how the HD 800 S sound with the different DACs and amps. And, I'm learning so many things from all of you guys.  ...

    Today, I got my Meze 99 Classics Silver / Walnut. For starters, I'm impressed with the thoughtfulness of the box packaging design. It is exquisite, understated and elegant. I'm looking forward to hours and hours of listening pleasure with the Meze 99 Classics.

    Canlanta 2016

      There's this particular planar that I've read many good things about from several sources. and I'm led to believe that this would be an excellent acquisition. From what I know so far, my impression is that it seems to have a generally good price-to-performance ratio. I'm very curious to check...

    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    Hi, guys! I'm not sure if this has been brought up before--I have a question about the USB male plug that goes into Bifrost. I mean, it should go all the way in, right? And not half-way? Should it make a click sound to signify proper connection? I'm unfamiliar with this male USB plug, and it...

    What do you do when listening to music?

    I mean, do you close your eyes? Do you stare into nothingness? Do you imagine things or do you let your mind float freely? What are you thinking? Feeling Are you seated? Standing? Lying down? Lounging? When listening, are you just listening, or are you doing something else at the same time? Do...
