I have the 109 and 99 they compliment each other nicely. Enjoy!

I’ve become a believer in power supply upgrades. I added an LPS to power my phono stage and TT and was really surprised by the improvements it made in terms of lowering the noise floor and making everything sound more dynamic.

Good to hea. Ive been considering picking up an iPower for my J2S 4499.

This is suprising to hear. I got my 4499 J2S with Sparkos OpAmp and it’s anything but boring. I hear great dynamics, bass depth and soundstage. I guess system synergy could be at play here. Also, I have mostly been listening via speakers and it sounds great to my ears. I’ll see if it has the...

Zen Stream/Zen DAC v2 a Surprisingly Good Combo I picked up a Zen Stream a couple of months ago to use in my main system with the intention of getting a 'higher' end DAC to use with it. Maybe something from Schiit, Denafrips, Topping or Geshelli. In the meantime I took the Zen DAC v2 off my...

Still available?

I recently assembled a Zen DAC v2/Zen CAN stack. Prior to using the devices as a stack I had the DAC v2 as a standalone unit on my desk for headphone listening and as a preamp for my powered speakers. No problem driving my 6xx, Meze 99, DT990 600 or LCD-X. I like the DAC so much I picked up the...

Ha. I kept My Decware order I figure when it’s ready in a year or 2 I’ll be itching for an upgrade/change.

I’m just joining the party. Picked up the R8 and a set of Triangle Comete Ez. Running stock tubes on the R8. The Comete are sound stage monsters. I’m getting that holographic sound. I’m feeding the R8 with a Cambridge Audio CXNV2 and a Pro-Ject Evo TT w/ a Pro-ject Phon Box S2. After a week I’m...

Wait, what? You destroyed a working pair of headphones? What kind of ****ed up trade in policy is that? Such a waste.

I still have my OG m100. 7-8 years old. Still sounds great. XL pads are a must.

I recently picked up an LCD-X. I never thought I’d spend that much on headphones, but I like it a lot. I also have a better appreciation for diminishing returns in headphones and the quality of sound you can get for under $500. I have the 6xx, 4xx, DT990 600, and 177X. All are excellent...

I’ve been running my newly acquired LCD-X 2021 from a JDS-Labs Element II and an iFi Zen DAC. The X is excellent with both units. The bass boost on the Zen is really nice for when you need a little extra rumble.

I have a couple of Pi4 streamers. One has a Hifiberry Digi+ Pro HAT and I stream optical and coax out to separate DACs. Sounds great. My other Pi streamer is USB out to a Zen DAC and it sounds great. I have run the USB into the DACs where optical and coax are used. I can’t hear any difference...
