well, I can understand the dilemma, but unfortunately, it's one of the things that makes this "hobby" more interesting! Sometimes it's tough to resist the occasional upgraditis attacks! I've heard good things about the lcd2 as well and to my impression and following, it seems to be the model...

there are alternatives, if you like your DX220 a little more low slung. I post 3 here today. 1) EVA case measuring 16cm by 11cm by 4.5cm. Has the most protection, though is also the most bulky of the 3. Everything closes well with room to spare. The elastic band holding the...

lol.... chill. Listening is a journey. Take the increased anticipation in the mean time as a greater climax when you finally hear it!

Lol... value is relative. Depends on what you listen to, what your set-up is like, how and where you listen usually, how your ears are, the emotional state you are when listening...lol.. Over time, the Audeze (others as well) have shown some downtrends in price, compared to their initial release...

Thanks for the impressions!

Some have a dedicated cabinet for the dac, amp and speakers, some even have a room for listening... lol... different strokes for different folks!

+1 You are dead right! My bad. :)

Lol sorry! I am sorely mistaken! You can! In fact there are many that do so!

I have a pair of Presonus Eris 4.5 reference speakers that I use for my desktop. Mount them on some isoacoustics stands and enjoy open, clean, clear sound! The only down side is bass though, not that it is bad, just that being only a 4.5" woofer, the bass just can't get quite as low and this is...

Teaser answer: Go listen with your headphones and find out! "Better sound experience" as you said, is subjective. :k701smile: I see the cards you have are already quite capable so it's probably best to decide for yourself with the cans you have and the music you listen to. Part of the fun in...

Not sure if you're still looking, but I could suggest a RSA SR 71B that takes both balanced in and single ended in, and gives balanced out as well as single ended out. I have the F35 that is a variation of the SR71B that takes only single ended in. The SR71B is more flexible, and is also...

Any own either Valkyrie or Wraith yet? or at least tested them? Possible to hear a brief description of the sonic signature? How do they compare with a Zeus XR? I was actually about to buy an XR, until I heard these 2 launched.... :k701smile:

When I take it off the charger and get the chance, the discharge is usually through my iems or headphones as I listen to them. Surely that's a fun part I shouldn't miss out!

What a steal!! Enjoy!

Hi all, How are you guys burning in your amp 9? For my amp1mk2, I had my player continuously charged while playing through the 2.5mm burn-in cable or a balanced headphone/iem, actively cooled by a USB fan, for 8 days consecutively. I would charge till 100% (which was slow since I'm not using a...
