*Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*
Just got the Magni 2 in anticipation of getting a T50rp mk3. Question is: I have this going by RCA cable to a Creative Labs X-fi HD USB DAC/AMP line out. I currently have the X-fi HD USB's volume at 45 and am (obviously) changing the volume on the Magni 2. Is this ideal? Would I get any...- Rhymenoceros

NEW! iBasso D-Zero Mk2
Hello! I just get a light hiss and no playback using th OTG cable with lg g4. I tested it on PC with regular USB cable and it was working fine.

Is it possible to replace only the headband? Mine's pretty badly scuffed up.- Rhymenoceros

Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
so i suppose these work well straight out of an HTC One M8? i'm mostly looking for an IEM in the quality range of Vsonic GR07 or Brainwavz B2 but with removable cables, as my headphone cables have a habit of dying after a few months even if i'm taking good care of them. or maybe someone can...- Rhymenoceros

Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread
listening to portishead's dummy and actually really pleased with the bass from the b2s, seems to hit just right and it's detailed and goes pretty low. guess good production can make a difference in that regard.- Rhymenoceros

JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread
i'm pretty happy with the brainwavz b2 for now now, but more and more i just want to cut the chase and go straight for these, even though i know i have a lot of upgrading to do to get there (better DAC and amp to begin with). is it a fool's errand to start saving for these now, or should i go...- Rhymenoceros

Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread
just out of curiosity, do the r50 have the same sort of treble energy/sibilance? how about level of clarity/detail?- Rhymenoceros

Brainwavz B2 Impressions & Discussion Thread
after reading up on them more it seems they aren't as great as they're cracked up to be, and i was a bit hasty in my decision. the only other ba i've tried was an addiem, and i miss the clean surgical precision, but my god the SILLIBANCE with the small tips! the complys kind of relieved that and...- Rhymenoceros

am i weird in preferring the m-100 to the m-80? (much as i like the m-80?) i guess it doesn't help that in my m-80 i think there's a channel inbalance and there's definitely a crackling/driver flex in the left hand cup. probably should ship it out for repair eh?- Rhymenoceros

so i had the ejection thing happen on the right side. was it ok to just kinda stretch the metal and pop it back in? i don't think i damaged the plastic getting it in but now it feels looser. was i supposed to completely disassemble it (remove the hex screws)?- Rhymenoceros

wth, these are sounding so fantastic right now through my home pc (haven't used them much here yet). using a Creative X-Fi USB DAC/AMP and i'm surprised at how hard the bass is hitting, which is probably why i was kinda confused/underwhelmed bass-output wise on my ipod classic/cmoybb. it...- Rhymenoceros

off-topic but does anyone have a suggestion for a fairly inexpensive LOD that's a lot more durable than the Fiio variety? so far i've gone through two recently that started cutting out after a few days use. i'm using the l9 just looped around to the input jack so i don't think i'm unduly...- Rhymenoceros

im quite the opposite; been entranced by the m-100's lavish spaciousness and somewhat upjumped detail reproduction. the recessed mids aren't as glaring as they were, but it's probably my ears adjusting to them. i'll try what you suggested spidernhan; any advice on what to use to clean? just rub...- Rhymenoceros
