    The KRK KNS-8400: you can have it all.

    Thanks everyone for the impressions and info!   I've been looking for a pair of closed headphones for a while now and these seem pretty close to what I've been searching for (especially the price). Any comments as to how well they isolate? I know the OP mentioned that they had very good...

    Yulong U100 And Mac

    howdy - i have a basic macbook and the yulong U100 works perfectly for me   for me it was just plug it in, fiddle with the system settings-sound in order to make sure the yulong was being recognized as an output, and it has been smooth sailing. took me like 30 seconds just to double check.

    K702 bass vs Grado

    i have a grado 225 and a k702, and honestly, i think their sound is somewhat similar. the grados sound a little bit more forward where i feel like the akg puts everything mostly where they are intended to be. the akg bass can feel like it's missing a little body/fullness on some tracks, but that...

    Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

    i almost have mixed feelings about the DAC announcement - i have dreams of pairing a schiit DAC with a lyr, but at the same time i don't think my budget can take any other hits at this point...

    Why is everyone trying to get rid of their AKG701?

    i've also heard a lot of good things about the 701/2 paired with the lyr (i'm planning on springing for a lyr eventually) - six moons audio ran a quote from one of the schiit guys concerning the 701/2 pairing with the lyr         On AKG K701: "One of my favorite headphones and Lyr is...

    Yulong U100

    i'm running the yulong u100 from my macbook without any problems - i just plugged it in and it was recognized right away. the only thing that you might have to do is switch the output settings on your mac (a 30 second, super simple fix).   i can't compare it to the audinst, as i've never...

    Recommendations for a MAC DAC/amp

    check out the udac-2, audinst mx-1, and the yulong u100 - all dac/amps that are between 100-200 (the yulong is a like 225 or so). i'm not sure about the audinst, but the udac-2 and the yulong u100 both worked fine with my macbook. i'm not sure if these units are firewire though, i just use the...

    Sennheiser HD25-1 Adidas vs Phiaton MS400

    howdy, from what i understand, the adidas hd-25 I and the regular hd-25 I are the same thing sound-wise, just the adidas version is styled differently (and has a higher price)   i can't speak to the phiatons, but another headphone you might want to check out is the AIAIAI TMA-1 - those seem...
