The AK320 thread
Okay, I know this thread is a bit old, but I haven't seen anything thus far on the ability to sort music via album by artist. I'm still trying to figure this stuff out. Not as intuitive as an ipod.- El_Toro

And by the time I was able to get a break from the project I was working on today, the listings had long since passed. Busy day....too many fires to put out, lol.- El_Toro

Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
The delta symbol everyone keeps mentioning. Is it a triangle? I'm an engineer and that is what I think of when I hear a delta symbol. I'm trying to find a set but not sure I'm looking for the right thing. I'm still very new to this tube rolling.- El_Toro

I just shot the seller an email to see if I can cancel the order. It's not showing as shipped so I think I may be in the clear.... Thank you very much for the advice. Can you recommend some reputable sellers?- El_Toro

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Philips-E188CC-tubes-NOS-/121458554605?hash=item1c477e76ed:g:c5QAAOSwdsFUOcML They were a bit pricey. But if the sound is that good, I don't mind. These were the ones you were talking about, correct?- El_Toro

Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Good question. So my sound tastes are across the board. Heavy Metal, Rock, Pop, Blues, & Classical. So what I look for really varies on what I'm listening to at that particular time, if that makes sense. I am, however, trying to break into listening to Jazz. So any recommendations on tubes...- El_Toro

Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
I just got my Bifrost and Lyr2 setup. I can’t get over how much warmth tubes have added to my music. Currently using the stock tubes (which sound amazing so far). Can’t wait to try some new tubes in it. Any thoughts on what to try next? I have become very partial to Audeze headphones so I’ll be...- El_Toro

Use AMP with AK320 or Buy a DAC/Amp combo?
Desktop. Using my portable DAC would be a temporary fix until I could afford a desktop DAC (if I went with the amp).- El_Toro

Use AMP with AK320 or Buy a DAC/Amp combo?
I am fairly new in the audiophile world and I don't know what my next purchase should be. I currently own an AK320 DAP and a pair of Audeze LCD-XC headphones. I know I'm not getting all I should be out of these headphones. I can't afford to buy an Amp AND a DAC. I was looking at the Audeze...- El_Toro

The AK320 thread
This may be a very Noobish question but how different is the quality of an HD streaming service like Deezer vs flac files on an AK320? i own a pair of LCD-EX headphones, which are amazing. I've been using them with the Deezer app on my iPhone. Just trying to decide as to whether it's worth...- El_Toro

New Member Introductions thread
Hey all, I have been reading head-fi for a while. Thought it was time to make an account. I've been into quality headphones for a while. Started off with Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones. Finally made the plunge into Audeze LCD-XC.- El_Toro
