    Coaxial link has chirps and gaps after playing cds for a while

    I just bought a burson amp/dac and was playing around with it. One of the things I did was connect the coxial cable from the output of my Marantz SACD player to the coax in of the Burson. During playback of the first few tracks of a CD (not SACD) everything was fine until I got to later tracks...

    Shure SE846: A New In-Ear Flagship From Shure. Finally! (Impressions p26-28)

    The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP

    I've tried the ms-ak100 with MH335 during an audio show and the female vocals were crazily intoxicating it spoiled my enjoyment of the vocal rendition of some speakers in the show such as B&W Nautilus, Focal Grand Utopias, and TAD Reference 1s (which is the closest in signature). I think the...

    $500 iem vs $500 headphones?
