    Sony PHA-1 portable DAC/amp

    Yeah, that was a bit tongue in cheek comment. :p MSRP is always more expensive then actual so hopefully it'll be much cheaper.

    Sony PHA-1 portable DAC/amp

    :Shock: Now watch Apple change the doc connector to render it useless in a months time. I'm rather interested, so hopefully it won't though.

    High quality sound from iTunes (running on PC) via USB DAC

    Can't you just let foobar read the iTunes music folder? That's what I do for my MP3s. Granted, there are problems like: not seeing cover art; poorly tagged podcasts barfs on the album view

    Albums that sounded better the second time

    In my experience, all good music sounds better the second time, and even better the third time. So I listen to new music at least 6 times before I make a decision I like it or not.

    Upgrading my HD25-1 ii amp/cable?

    Yeah, those are the ones. Silver/Black Dragons weren't around for purchase when I was looking around for a replacement. I bought the blue dragons when I was able to compare the HD600 cable and the blue-dragon at a meet . I did listen to silver dragons at a meet afterward though, and remember...

    Upgrading my HD25-1 ii amp/cable?

    I had HD25-1 with blue dragon, but I lost them during the holidays. where DID they go!? :(  I stumbled on to this thread as I was looking around to see if there's any good alternatives or if I should re-buy them. Anyway, I sorta remember that the blue dragon tones the brightness down a bit from...

    I don't want to see a live show ever again.

    Usually its the venue. There are venues in Tokyo I think twice going to even if when the artist are awesome, like Duo Music Exchange or Yokohama Bayside. I never experienced good music there. OTOH, there are venues which I was never disappointed at, such as Studio Coast. Also, I try to stand...

    Anyone go to any gigs on there own?

    I usually go alone, even festivals. I need music listening friends... I been to 6 concerts (New Mastersounds, Mew, Phoenix, Placebo, Ito Seiko/Soutaisei-Riron, Galactic) this year, and I only went to one (Soutaisei) with other friends. Of course, if anyone here is in Japan, I'll be more then...

    How do you organize your music?

    I used to do genres by type of music. However, when I am first tagging, I haven't actually listened to the music, so I don't know the genre. Add to the fact that the changing tags later is a burden, it made me anxious every time I tag a new artist. So now I just organize them by the artist's...

    How many listens do you give an album before you move on?

    6 listens, usually on the go. At least once or twice straight through with my home gear as well. Sometimes music that was crap on the go sounds oh so awesome.
