NEWS: Apple acquires Beats for $3 Billion (Update: Full interview on recode.net)

anything closed with more harder and deeper bass then ue6000 besides m100?

Schiit Modi USB DAC
Just got the Modi and Magni. There is no power switch on the Modi? Magni has one. The only way to turn off the Modi is by unplugging its power, aka the USB? Any other methods?- Vloeibaarglas

Oh my lord, I actually have a pair of UHP336. It was my first decent pair of IEM after the EP-630. Also it is interesting to note that they use the same cable as TF10. I just pulled out some TF10 custom cables and are listening to them now. When they were still being sold, they were...- Vloeibaarglas
