Dragonfly Red low volume issue
From post #5: Dragonfly Red features a 64 step digital volume control. When installed on a mobile device, Dragonfly defaults to a volume setting of 22 (the 22nd step out of 64).

Looking to replace my iPod Touch
There seem to now be a lot of companies servicing Ipods. I had good luck with Milliamp repairing my Itouch after I dropped it in the toilet. They replaced the battery and the headphone jack for ~ $60 or so with good communications throughout the process.- Twanger49

Audeze has (DEFINITELY) something new Re: Headphones at Canjam?
Hasn't Magnepan been making excellent Magneplanar speakers for like 40 years? They're very similar in construction and I kinda view the LCDs as Magnepan headphones. But Audeze may not be going the printed coil on stretched film route.......we'll see.- Twanger49

As an old geezer I have somewhat of a historical advantage, so ……from August 30 thru Sept. 1, 1969 Lewisville, Texas was the Texas International Pop Festival.

Cable Believers -- Price/quality tipping points?
I know you've been talking about wire leads here but I've got to blurt out my new experiences with fiber optics. I'm coming from my PC to a DacMagic to a Samuels Hornet to K701's. I first used a 75ohm coax from my soundcard, then tried a 4 foot $25 Monster standard fiber cable from my...
