Hi folks. I just thought it would be easier to start a post instead of trying to search around for different answers in different forms so forgive me if I have the wrong spot or whatever. I have a pair of Triangle LNO1A powered speakers hooked up via RCA input from an ifi Neo idsd DAC via USB...

Hi folks it’s been a really long time since I’ve last posted. I picked up a new iFi neo IDSD I am using a MacBook Pro and connected the DAC via usb to the computer with RCA out to my Triangle LNOA1 active speakers. I chose the Triangles as my output source from both the computer and Tidal And...

Proton007- So you consider the ER4s to be a " easy to drive headphone" from a portable source like the iPad?

I prefer something small amp wise. I was thinking RS P-51 Mustang. As stated in the original post I'm using either ER4s or UM3x.

Any suggestions. Main phones are ER4s and UM3x. Thanks

Would you guys say the P.51 is a good fit for the Ety ER4s? Also when I try to vist rays site it's seems to be down.

Wow. Not one person can answer this question?

would I benefit from adding my Headamp AE2 to my setup? iMac-Firestone DAC- AudioEngine 5. The AE"s are powered so Im not sure if the inclusion of the AE2 would do much og anything. Should I use it as a pre amp? Is that considered pre-amping? I'm such a newbie :) I asked this in the comp...

No one?

So I have a 2010 iMac connected to a Firestone DAC and a pair of AE5's which you probably know are self powered speakers. I also have a Headamp AE 2 just sitting around doing nothing.   Is there a way, and would it be a benefit to, add the AE2 into the mix?   Just a newbie question.

Not sure what I think of Decibel just yet. It's no longer free which is fine. Its available thru the Mac App Store for $33. Right now I'm using a 24hr free trial but havent had much time to listen. My first impression is wider sound stage and more defined instrument seperation than itunes.  ...

  You can count me in as a Grado groupie!! I bought my first pair of Grados an hour ago, the SR80i, my first pair of full size cans by the way, and I already know I'm going to buy the RS1. I've got a fair amount of burn in ahead, but I can already hear where there going and I love it. They...

I just ordered a pair. Im reasonably new to audiophilia, and up to this point I have only owned canal phones. My favorites are my um3x and Ety er4s. So how will these compare to the Grados?

Quote: Oh good, so you have had extensive listening time with both the A5 and the Swan's. Can you please give a breakdown of your impressions as to how they compare?   I'm looking forward to your educated view.   Thanks.
