I usually listen through my Lenovo X220>Meier Daccord> Bottle Crack w/sb> HD650. My M-Stage definitely is being neglected. Not shown in pictures are Grado SR225, KSC-35, Sony CD 780.  

Theogenes,   Glad to see you have received the DACCORD, but I am sorry you are having some issues. I had a somewhat similar experience when I tried to connect the DACCORD to my 4 year old desktop, running Windows Vista. Before I got the DACCORD, I did not really have a permanent...

I thought I'd share my somewhat embarrassing and funny initial experience with the Daccord.   I finally arrived home in the early evening after dinner with an old college buddy, whom I have not seen  in a couple of years. I passed on after dinner drinks as I had other urgent matters to...

Quote: Theogenes,    I obviously would've loved to have received the Daccord sooner.  But I think the fact that I ordered it on a Saturday(6/22) and the 4th of July holiday probably added to the shipping time a bit. According to the USPS tracking information, I think my package even...

Quote:   Yay, I finally received the Daccord. It took just a little over 3 weeks after the order was placed.   Too bad I am at the office, and cannot listen to it right away. I am beginning to feel a little sick and probably should go home early today.   Focker, I will...

I would also be interested in any comparisons between the koss and he500. I have been considering possible upgrades from my current hd650, and I am thinking those two seem to offer a different listening experience. Price-wise, they seem similar-$999 for the Koss system, $699 (he500) + $200...

Wow. That is a sweet deal. Too bad I ordered mine a couple of weeks too early.

My DACCORD just left New Jersey! - according to the tracking information.   I feel like a kid before Christmas.

For the sake of my wallet, I really should stop subscribing to this thread.   In all seriousness, I wanted to thank all of you who have contributed to this thread, as all the comments helped me finally purchase my first full sized DAC, so I can stop using my udac.  I ordered the DACCORD...

I would like to attend the meet, if the soft limit of 100 attendees has not been reached. (I counted 74 :) I do not intend on bringing any gear, except maybe my Senn 650's, unless someone wants me to bring any of the gear I currently have: Matrix M-Stage Amp udac  Koss ksc-75  ...

Razordogsdeals.com on ebay has them for $328 + shipping. They're an authorized dealer and have good feedback, including some from head-fi members.   http://cgi.ebay.com/Sennheiser-HD-650-Audiophile-Headphones-HD650-NEW-/120661909339?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c18029f5b   Quote:

Any impressions on any improvements with the MS1's?

  Quote: I didn't notice any major red flags for the seller on resellerratings.com.(87% rating) I also found a 10% off coupon code -cabin10. So, after the $10.95 shipping and handling fee, the total came out to $220. From looking at their listings of the 3000, it does not seem...

Regardless of geographical area or language proficiency (yes, even US companies), lousy customer service happens all the time.
