IYashike,     I will reply you on PM, as we can discuss HD800 more. But on a quick reply, HD800 has great quality bass, quantity is just right for classical, but not sufficient if you are a basshead :) Bottom line is to test the combination for yourself :)

Wow that's some chip-set discussion. I hope I have not interrupted anyone on this debate. Back on the HP recommendation...   Quote:   I second Pina.cz recommendation on HD800 if you are heavy classical listener on orchestra, chamber music, and less to vocal :p  I used to be in the same...

Can any one share information on the 2014 usb? Is that an upgrade?   Just throwing a question - if I have a chance, should I get a separate usb box to connect to reference 10?

I'm in Ming kok anyways. I can manage canto and English. Just check out the retail price in a shop or 2, they are no longer as good bargain as couple years back.. Did not Negev though. Pha2 is shockingly expensive. I still go back to win win after comparing a couple shops for cd

Hey I am here in Hong Kong, but catch a plan on next Thursday. Too bad I'm missing it. Enjoy.

For headphone use Referance10.32 is already more than enough. Master 7 is nice, but  is way over priced for headphone setup, and possibly consume too many desk space - an extra headphone amp is required, and that's another mix and match nightmare there.   I will only consider Master 7 if I go...

I shall look at K702 tonight should look the same.

Putting a class A 30 minutes idle is bad for mother earth :P And probably your wallet. I know a friend who rush to home from work everyday, and first thing he does is to turn on his AMP, before he fetches his kids from school...     I guess next time when I turn my setup on Reference 10.32 on...

I wonder if Sony UDA-1 will be a nice complement to Master 9 or their headphone amp. Right now I'm exploring the support for DSD...

With XPA-2 and UDA-1, looks like Sony is really pushing the DSD hard. For the price is consider cheap. However DSD file format is still somewhat limited in availability. If I can find a DSD source for all my favorite music I might go for it.   Without a portable DAC-AMP now XPA-2 looks so...

I'm puzzled too actually - I think everyone would have an Amazon / Ebay account (at least those that order frequent enough from Internet), and shipping to US should not an issue. Maybe - international Head-Fiers prefers someone local so its easier to establish the connection for future follow...

Thanks for your reply, I will take it as "they are reliable" :D.

  I was referring to Foobar, by the way I have already found the place to configure file buffering.   EDIT: Found, version 1.2 onwards, the Full file buffering has been moved to the advance-playback, rather than playback screen. Set to 204800kb, any single file should not exit 200mb.

Before you start you have to understand that this is very high risk - soldering cables directly to the coil is very risky, and any mod will void the warranty.   The construction of each headphone is different, but generally opening up the headphone involves removing the pad (turning clock/anti...

SEA, or any place Amazon goes, I'm in Malaysia though, I can supply a US shipping address if needed. I'm accommodate if my partner already have a title in mind. I will request for something of similar value in return..   P.S. I received a pirated material last time when I joined... So I stop...
