    Looking for short length premade (or custom) cables to be used with a portable DAC/Amp clipped to the neck of my shirt

    I've got an Ear Studio ES100 bluetooth DAC+Amp that I would like to use clipped to the neck of my shirt. I'd like to get a short set of cables to run from this amp to my ears. Ideally something like 15-16" / 40ish cm in length. I'd also like to get a 2.5mm balanced termination if possible...

    Melbourne Meet 2010

    I would prefer the next Sunday (March 14th). March 7th falls in the Labour Day long weekend and I (and probably a few others) will be taking the opportunity to get out of town.

    Suitable Replacement for Etymotic ER4P?

    I've had a long love/hate relationship with the Etymotic ER4P. They're still the best IEM for my preferences that I've listened to. But I can't listen to them for more than an hour at a time unamped or about 2 hours with a decent DAC/amp (Pico) setup. They just get too fatiguing. I do however...

    Moore's law

    Found this thread via search and thought it was worth the gravedig for historical comedy value. Hooray for no longer being crippled by low storage space (remember the good ole' days )! Although the trend to regress back to these "nano" devices is annoying. As Moore's law continues in action we...

    How To Build One Of The World's Finest Dynamic Headphones (markl Denon AH-D5000 Mods)

    After the mods I've had one of the cups come loose from the frame. The screws that attach the plastic driver housing to the metal headphone assembly don't get any purchase and won't screw in. The driver is still attached to the cup ok. Any recommended fixes? Cheers!

    Is your Headphone setup more expensive than your Speaker?

    Quote: Originally Posted by markl Yeah, the differences in amount of damping aren't huge, and some people may want more or less depending on taste. The D2000 don't need as much damping, so I use a slightly thinner material. In any case, I wouldn't worry *too much* about it overall...
