Thanks for the reply.   Yes I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade unless I have to.  I have a habit of using something to destruction before replacing them :D I just thought 6 years is a reasonable amount of use I've got out of the setup.     It didn't occur to me so what I'll do is test out...

Hello All   Happy new year!   Just a quick background, my current setup is:   Foobar (Win-PC) -> EMU1616M -> Corda Headfive -> W1000X   I have had the EMU and Corda for over 6 years now.     Now, over the last year or so, I've noticed that I have to turn the volume nob to...

I have just got a demo unit here and it goes from EMU1616M to Valhalla to K701. Is there something right here as I find I need to crank the volume to the very maximum to match my usual listening volume? (For info, I currently own a headfive and the volume is at about 12 o clock when I listen...

Hi there   I am thinking it's about time I upgrade my computer and I am considering getting a Mac.  I just wondered if there's any recommendations for a good DAC for Mac.  My budget is £200 (OK if need to go over a bit) and my requirements are:   1) I listen to a lot of classical music...

Decided to get the T30. I must say I am very happy with the price I've paid and the quality I'm getting

Oh ! Somebody recommended an iAudio X5L as they say H10 is quite trouble with firmware crashes and stuff. Any ideas? Thanks alot

Looking to buy a new MP3 player since the MD that I got can't really stand bumpy roads when I'm walking. I like iPod but the price is really a turn off and I have got my eyes on this product here. Any idea is it worthwhile to buy it? I'm more concerned about the playback quality of the player...

I second the choice of HD555 ... I own a pair of 555 and truly, the sound is very nice For the 555, I'm not sure it's real or my imagination, but after around 150+ hours on the phone, the phone kinda "opened" up more and more sound details came out

Haha ... It's okay ... I got this from Meier Audio and it cost me about 260 GBP (everything incuded and Jan delivered it using DHL Priority) ... I'm still listening to it now and I must say I'm impressed by the way this headphone seperates the instruments and the ability to pick up the...

Sorry, I should have made it clear .. .I got these from Jan and he sent this out on last wednesday ... I sent an email to both Todd and Jan but due to some geographical constraints, I decided to go with Jan instead ... It's Jan from Meier Audio Sorry for the previous confusion .. I'm just...

Got my 701 delivered by DHL on friday ... Thanks Jan .. And thanks Todd for quoting me the wonderful price ... Giving it a good amount of burn in now ... Can't really say much for now as it will definitely be unfair to the 701 ... Hopefully will be able to give it a proper burn in and...

I'm using 555 now and isn't the impedance is 50ohms now? I tried my 555 on my Sony MD MZ N710 ... They sounded pretty decent and acceptable ... *above is just my personal point of view ...
