Dual Output Switchable DAC
Nope. Just a high/low gain switch, and RCA in. Just looking for a switch rather than running Y connectors and turning down the volume on the speakers whenever I'm done with them.- reikoshea

Dual Output Switchable DAC
So, my Schiit Modi died during a lightning storm this week, and I figured now's as good a time as any to upgrade the DAC. My Magni still works, so I'm good for a headphone amp, but I would like a DAC that has dual switchable outs (for my powered monitors) so I can stop fiddling in my windows...- reikoshea

Review by 'reikoshea' on item 'Philips SHP9500'
Alright, these are the most confusing set of cans I've ever owned. Why are they so cheap? It doesn't make any sense. Right out of the gate, these are the most comfortable set of headphones ever. I use them primarily for watching TV late at night, and have fallen asleep wearing them multiple...- reikoshea

Well, they're a $100 headphone that sounds like a $100 headphone...It's not their fault the Phillips screwed everything up with a $60 headphone that sounds like a $150 headphone. Stock comfort though...that is definitely their fault.- reikoshea

I use the T50s at home because I was uncomfortable with the sound leak at my preferred listening volume. The T40s are more neutral and don't leak too much. My co-workers haven't said anything to me about my volume being too loud, and we're in 1/2 height shared cubes. My review on the T40s would...- reikoshea

Review by 'reikoshea' on item 'Fostex T50RP MK3 Professional Studio Headphones, Semi-Open'
These are easily my favorite headphones I own. My review will be assuming you have Shure 1540 pads, but I'll go over some other options as well. Lets get the big negative out of the way now. The stock pads are simply murder on your ears. The headphones sound better with them than with...- reikoshea

Point taken on the wire. The last set of HiFiMan's I touched were HE-560's and they still had the coax cable.- reikoshea

Review by 'reikoshea' on item 'Massdrop x HIFIMAN HE350'
When these went on sale at massdrop I thought I was going to put one over on the man and get some really good audiophile grade headphones for $100, sadly that's not what I got when the package finally arrived (nearly two months late). The HE-350s LOOK like every HiFiMan can you've ever seen...- reikoshea
