A group of members pitched in to buy a pair of HD800s for Ti Kan in appreciation.

Purchased here 2009. This is such a great community - I've appreciated all the help and learned a lot.

While cleaning, found on a basement shelf.

Thanks very much for your help & time. Just what I needed.

I finished orientation at the local Humane Society and have started my volunteer schedule to help socialize cats with trust issues.

I've been away from the DAC discussions for a while, but I'm amazed at the performance for the price.

Looking for moderate/budget cable for HD600. The original cable and subsequent Senn replacement cable were fine but both failed on 1 channel. Looking for more robust cable but $50 or less budget. Previously used Lake People G100 amp (which I'm selling) but instead will be using a Schitt...

I've used these RCA plug to XLR cables from a iDSD Nano to JBL LSR305 monitors with decent results. Available for about $20 shipped: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=4778

Now shipping Geek Out V2/V2+  $300/$400 offers balanced from TRRS 3.5mm plug  http://marketplace.lhlabs.com/products/geek-out-v2-usb-dac-headphone-amplifier 

I've used a pair of JBL LSR305s for about six months with a iFi Nano with these cables: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=115&cp_id=11509&cs_id=1150902&p_id=4778&seq=1&format=2 .    I looked for a while for a balanced option, but this is a great combo, albeit above budget.  A bit awkward...

I had issues with RCA outputs - distorted sound but the 1/8inch was fine.  Musicdirect did a nice job sending me a replacement, which ought to arrive tomorrow.  I have been using with JBL LSR305 monitors, (using a RCA to XLR cable) which  I also recommend.

I listen to rock/pop on ripped CDs at home and 320 MP3s at the gym.  I doubt I will buy any DSD files soon.  Listened this morning with JRiver changing the output format using "DSP & output formats" under Options/settings.  I used Brainwavz B2s and am on the road with just a few listening...

Using JRiver MC 19.0.108.  In Options/Audio Device, choices are                 iFi (by AMR) HD USB Audio ASIO                 iFi (by AMR) HD USB Audio WASAPI   Previously in this thread, WASAPI is suggested, however only ASIO has "DSD bitstream in DOP format" as an option in Device...

I've been looking for exactly the same DAC/balanced preamp within my budget to use for a pair of BM6As which are on a shelf in  my basement.
