I had already been planning to be on the lookout for a 2170 when I take the family to Japan to visit relatives next summer and I have access to a couple of large Hard-Off stores with big selections of used electronics... It would still be nice to see a Massdrop collaboration that resulted...

Since I don't think I'll be able to justify the cost of the current options (in electrostatics), I would love to see a collaboration with Stax or Koss to produce an entry-level electrostatic+energizer combo that comes in under $5-600, sort of like they did with the m9xx for dac/amps.

  Which version of the bifrost? I've been assuming the current iteration of the non-multibit one because you've mentioned the Grace having the same chipset....   I had intended for my upgrade path next year (from the modi 2U - which as you say, has been amazing for its price and an excellent...

Optical out from your pc to the receiver would likely only be affected by whatever DAC is built into your receiver. The receiver is capable of decoding dolby digital or PCM on the optical in, so it should sound fine or it would likely sound crappy on its own if you were using it to straight up...

The diagram says the Receiver is output to the line-in on your DAC?   So there is no connection going the other way to feed a signal from your computer to your receiver?   If you want 5.1 sound when using speakers from the PC, and the above questions are answered with "yes", then maybe all...

  Will had supposedly said somewhere that there were two #1's and that one lucky customer would receive the other one.

The one Jude showed in his video was #732 iirc.

Just got a tracking number here and was also around the same range (in the 750s), which should definitely be in the first 133 because I distinctly remember the drop showing "133 sold" immediately after my order was completed (which was in the first 10-20s of the drop going active...)

UPS shipping solutions let you (as a shipper) create a shipment online so you can get a tracking number and print labels. You wouldn't get charged for shipping until UPS actually picks it up and scans it into their system.   The shipment technically doesn't exist until UPS scans it though, so...

Gonuso     Would love to see some Stax or Koss electrostatics drop sometime after March (when my budget resets).   Also would love to see the return of the Manufaktur MMX300 and more desktop speakers.   My wife would love it if the ATH-m50x in white was a drop, as she's fond of the...

Back in 2000 I purchased a set of System 8000 5.1 speakers with powered sub. Still sounds awesome paired with my midrange Onkyo receiver. I can still remember auditioning several sets of speakers at The Good Guys and getting convinced by the sales guy that they were a much better deal than...

I was faced with the same decision, and I went with the Schiit Stack. My reasoning was that I eventually would upgrade and having a separate amp and dac would let me do it piecemeal...probably getting myself a bifrost for my birthday next year, so I also felt that the modi would give me a good...

Thanks!   I decided to try out the biggest one from Geekria I could find:   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JT0JBHU

I got in on the TH-X00 drop over on massdrop, but due to holiday travel, I'm having them shipped to my parents' house. (Merry Christmas to me :) )   Can anyone recommend a good travel case (prefer one that is rigid) that would fit these (I'm guessing one that would fit the TH-900 would fit...

Hi all,   Like so many, I'm a long time lurker here.   I started with this addiction about 2 years ago when I was looking for a good set of closed cans for gaming and for passive noise isolation at work, and found out about head-fi when looking for reviews. This site led me to getting my...
