OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program
I recieved unit #2 today. It seems to be in good shape. First impression: The build and packaging is very nice. They look as nice in person as in pictures and the packaging is a nice touch.- kustomdlux

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
THIS! I've been looking at this market pretty in depth lately and I find that there are so many compromises. I keep finding myself wishing Schiit would apply the same mindset to this market that you have with the rest of the lineup. The larger-than-normal size would not be a problem for...- kustomdlux

Android phones and USB DACs
That's what i was afraid of. I guess it's time to upgrade to the plus or another balanced portable. I think I'd rather spend the money on another amp rather than switching to an idevice. Thanks for the input!- kustomdlux

Android phones and USB DACs
I would really welcome any suggestions on running my ALO International (not the "+" model) with a Galaxy S4 running Lollipop 5.0.1. I've read that it works with USB Audio Pro but I would like to use Spotify.- kustomdlux

The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
This may not be an exceptional "deal" as it seems to be a fairly common price point for "used", but I bought the Onkyo ES-HF300 used on amazon from AcousticSoundDesign "Used-Like New". They came in and appear to be new, no damage to the packaging, and were sealed. For $70 these are a GREAT buy...- kustomdlux

The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!
The K550s have really grown on me. I would like a little more bass, but I am admittedly a bit of a basshead and compared to the K702s there is a lot more low end. But the soundstage is really nice for a closed back and the detail is everything I would expect from AKG.- kustomdlux

Android phones and USB DACs
I can second this with the Fiio E18 and Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.2 I can also say that the ALO The International does not work with the Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4.2. Tried several OTG cables and it will not work. I use Spotify mostly so I have not tried USB Audio Recorder Pro. Edit...- kustomdlux

The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!
I was paying attention to this last night as I compared the K550s to other headphones. It took a bit to find my favorite combination of DAC/Amp and gain settings to get the treble to sound balanced. Eventually I found that the ALO International on a Low gain setting really gave a nice balance...- kustomdlux

The AKG K550 Impressions and Discussion Thread!
I just bought a used set of K550s to compare to my ATH-M50s. I have been listening for the past few hours and reading through other people opinions and I won't say mine are very different. The K550s are more detailed with a wider soundstage than the M50s. However even the bass boost on my Fiio...- kustomdlux

Fiio E18
Has anyone actually A/B tested the E18 against the E17k yet? I recently got an E18 and I'm wondering how the sound signature of the new DAC chip in the E17k compares. Thanks- kustomdlux

FUN THREAD - Your dream audio setup
Quote: I like the idea, but is "acoustically invisible" material actually possible? I think for cinemas it's close enough, but would think to a more critical ear, it would be tough to have a good image and not filter the sound at all. Maybe it is possible and I just don't know about it...- kustomdlux
