Shure srh840 nice sound but I found an issue with craftsminship
I had no problems with mine either, until i did. I'm just suggesting that you be mindful of the fact that the connection between the leather and the plastic comes apart quite easily. I'm just a little disappointed since i'll be without these headphones for a few weeks.- mplee79

Shure srh840 nice sound but I found an issue with craftsminship
Retailer is out of stock at the moment with no idea when they'll receive it back in. I would post some pictures however, i did a make shift fix-it job by stuffing it in to the plastic end (still deciding if it's even worth sending it back in, wait 2-3 weeks, go through another burn in). It's...- mplee79

Shure srh840 nice sound but I found an issue with craftsminship
I've had my 840s for a couple of weeks now. Been mainly listening to them at my desktop listening station (never took them outside of my home). They've been great so far and initially they seemed to be very durable. However, I noticed yesterday that the points where the top leather straps...- mplee79

Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
As many have said before. It's the best you can do at this price point. Many have stated that if they never heard better (like 5k systems), they'd be perfectly content with the Zero. It is a great little unit with upgradeable potential.- mplee79

SRH840 impression
Has anyone found a replacement cable for the stock one yet? I need something a little bit longer and straight. I tried extending it to the "reported" length of 10 feet and doing this puts quite a bit of strain on the end connected to the headphone.- mplee79

Tianyun Zero DAC - New 2009 Edition
Hey Damson. What kind of music do you typically listen to? Do you have the Zero hooked up to another amp or just straight from the headphone out? Who did you buy the unit from?- mplee79

Josh Groban
I may have been in a cave but I just learned of this singer Josh Groban. His voice is probably the most effortless and transparent i've heard. Wondering if anyone else has this opinion. -
Tianyun Zero DAC - New 2009 Edition
Everyone interested in the Zero should first read: Introduction to the Zero DAC and Headphone amplifier. - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio It is a very good article by Currawang about what the zero can and can not do for you.- mplee79

Tianyun Zero DAC - New 2009 Edition
There's absolutely no point in wondering whether not you're receiving a fake opamp or not. Let's face the facts, you probably are. To avoid this inevitable reality, just get the base unit and place real ones in. I purchased the opa627 and if they were fake, well, i never tested it. It...- mplee79

Tianyun Zero DAC - New 2009 Edition
Dude, it does not matter. Trust me when i tell you that you'll be changing it. I can guarantee you that you will. The opamps are dirt cheap to purchase from the actual makers such as Linear Technology $3.00-4.00 Opamp627 is not the end of the road in terms of quality. There are many that...- mplee79

Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
Yes. You can easily switch it from Preamp mode which is just DAC. With the press of a button, it is in headphone mode which is DAC--->Headphone amp- mplee79

SRH840 impression
I've burned them in for about 120 hours and they are still the same for rock/metal. Not the best for that genre in my opinion. I thought it was just my recordings since they sounded great for jazz r&b and all others.- mplee79

Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
yeah volume knob does nothing on the zero. I'm assuming the compass is probably the same.- mplee79
