LG G2 android phone -- first 24 bit/192kHz phone DAC
The Note 3 isn't released yet for retail in the US. I will test it over the next few days. I don't have a really high end DAP, but I can use some of my desktop DACs for comparison.- lordsegan

LG G2 android phone -- first 24 bit/192kHz phone DAC
I just got this phone today. So far I am EXTREMELY impressed. I previously had 4 generations of iPhones, and I was ready for something a bit more.... open. I noticed an actual difference in sound stage (wider) and detail when I plugged this into my stereo. Hardly a blind test, but I am going...- lordsegan

I am looking for something to use on a new Android phone that is similar to the Apple ear buds. I dont want IEM, just something I can quickly use to make a call. Looking at about $40-50 max.- lordsegan

Really bad news about Windows 8 and high-end audio
Basically, Windows 8 has some change that dramatically increases latency and probably audio judder and crackling. It appears to be related to a power saving feature, but this has not been confirmed. I think we maybe should start some sort of petition on this. ...- lordsegan

I just ordered some AKG 271 and I hate them. I am starting to think the Denon's are better than I thought....- lordsegan

Headphones without recessed mids that are also comfortable
Up to about $700. Less is great. If I could get something for $2-300 that would be ideal.- lordsegan

Headphones without recessed mids that are also comfortable
I just got some Denon 7000s and I am not entirely happy with them. The mids are bit too recessed for me. Can anyone suggest a pair of headphones (ideally closed back) where the mids are not as recessed but they are still very comfortable. Thanks!- lordsegan

What is the latest with the M2Tech Hiface?
I bought an M2Tech Hiface about a year ago when it was being billed as the greatest thing since sliced bread. I use it currently as a pretty decent laptop sound card outputting to my home stereo receiver. I was hoping that it would eventually get Linux support. Does anyone know if...- lordsegan

Replacement for broken MX880 earbuds
Hi, I generally do not like IEM. I bought some Sennheiser MX880 ear buds, and I loved the sound, but they are now broken. For a replacement, what do you suggest? I would be willing to consider an IEM, but I think I would prefer earbuds. A good quality volume control would be great, or...- lordsegan

Swan m200MkIII's on floor stands?
I run mine on floor stands. I have never had an opportunity to run them on a desktop unfortunately (crappy furniture budget with all the electronics spending). I could believe that they might sound deeper/fuller on a desktop. Overall, I really like them, but I have noticed they have a...- lordsegan

Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners
My grandpa has several fully functioning stereos around his house from the 1950s and 1960s. Some of them are tube amps. One is a HUGE Packard Bell unit from the early 1950s with what looks like two 12" woofers. In fact most of his systems seem to have 12" woofers. -
Balanced DAC for *speakers*
I just bought a pair of balanced monoblock amps for my speakers, and I am considered hooking them up to my Little Dot DAC I. I need the LD DAC in another room for headphone use, however, so I will need a new DAC in my living room for this setup. Can anyone give me an updated...- lordsegan

A5. I own the Swam M200MKIII. They are great speakers, but they are not your best bet for filling a room.- lordsegan
