briantrinh is a great seller. Item arrived promptly, good communication, good packing, good everything. Would buy again!

I've tried a lot of other dacs/amps and just haven't been inspired to switch things up yet. I think i've had this same DAC1 for 10 years now and will be very sad when/if it ever dies on me

I haven't posted on head-fi in years. Simple PC setup for me still, 2 headphones & an all-in-one dac/amp box.

      I liked your setup a lot. I know its much less exotic than a Krell, but I was hoping you liked my Crown D-75A, too. I've been listening to a lot of Infected Mushroom, actually, since hearing that track "Noise Maker" on your setup. 

  Ah, you were at the head-fi meet in Annandale!      Thanks for the information. I may also consider doing the "fuzzor" mod described here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/692494/hifiman-fuzzor-mod-driver-backwave-felt-damping-modification   

Hi all,      I took off the grilles of my HE-6 and pulled out the cotton stuffing behind them and put the grilles back on. It's hard to compare it side by side with stock as it's quite a process to put the cotton back in, but I think it could be an improvement - or at least different.      ...

I would 100% chip in cash for a closer meet to Baltimore. I'd even do one soon.

  In that vein - I was surprised at how much I was interested in the T1 despite never looking it up online, but also I was surprised by how much I just didn't "feel" the HD800. I'm not sure if the HD800 is an acquired taste, or I need more time in quiet with it to really get familiar with it...

Everytime I hear the bass hit on even just my stock he-6, I am impressed by its speed and strength and clarity. I had no complaints about the dharma's bass but i do not recall it impressing me quite like the he-6 bass does. Again I did not have a ton of time with it and may already be...

Mine is still stock, but Musicinmymind brought a modded HE-6 to the same meet which I spent some time with. His had a custom cable, new grilles, removed the fabric/stuffing under the grilles, and new earpads. The differences to me were subtle but I did feel his sounded more spacious than mine. 

   I don't think I had enough time to judge it fairly so I don't want to say much for certain. I was very impressed by the vocals on the Dharma, but I didn't have the right environment to do a proper comparison to my HE-6. I am also very partial to the HE-6, so at this point I'd be surprised if...

Can you describe the static further?      For example, what if you have no music playing, but you turn the volume on your DAC way up, and then just move your mouse, not even clicking, just moving? Is there static in sync with the mouse movements?      If so, I think this would mean you're...

  I haven't yet had the pleasure to try the SR-009. How heavy is relatively heavy? I'd imagine that due to being electrostatic, they'd still be relatively light, considering.
