    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    Jason,   I think what YOU want (really), is a bulletproof 24/96 usb. I really don't know whether you want to get into the business of writing device drivers for windows. What's worse, you'll have to also spend time maintaining them. That's what'll be the expensive part.   Are you going...

    The Official Grado 325i Owners Club.

    Right out of the box, these sound a lot mellower than the 225i's I tried for a week. I was afraid the 325is would be too bright as a lot of reviewers have said. I guess because the bass digs deeper, i have no need to turn up the volume, so these are ultimately less fatiguing. I've got them on...

    Headroom Micro Amp struggling with HD 650s?

    I have a feeling that the Micro Amp struggles powering the HD 650s (even through the MicroDAC). At higher volumes, it just doesn't as smooth as I would expect it to. Is this just the sonic signature of the headroom amps, or is it a wee bit underpowered, or is it a problem with the power...

    Dac recommendation for Burson HA-160

    Any recommendations on a good source for the burson HA-160. I'm thinking of the following options: a) Get the HA-160D instead of the HA-160. b) Get the Arcam rDac. c) Cambridge Magic (or something like that).   Any opinions?   It'll be the same money for the most part. I expect DAC...

    Little Dot MK IV or WooAudio

    This would be my first tube amp, and I'll be using it to power Denon 5000s and Sennheiser 650s. Any other recommendations for a tube amp?
