1) HiFi For Metal   2) Overland Park, KS   3) All kinds, I have a McCormick UDP-1 CD/DVD-A/SACD player, Esoteric SA-10 iDSD Micro, AKG k701, k7xx, Sennheiser 414, HD485, Goldring DR150, Sony pulse headphones. I have several amps to try out the preamp section Cayin a100t,  Bellas Mini...

I don't want to hijack the thread, but youurayy what kind of amp is that? I have been looking for an EL-34 type amp to run my AKG K701s with.

Has anybody tried this in an audio interface yet? I would think that since many of those don't have great clocks and are powered by USB, this could be a really nice addition to a recording interface. I have tried it on my USB mic, and it definitely took away some audible noise with my USB cable...

Well iFi just released the Type A connecter IPurifier 2 which is designed to work in the iDSD without an adaptor. Music Direct just shipped mine they were not available until a few days ago. So If you haven't bought one yet just buy the Type A, but to answer your direct question some early...

So I just received my iPurifier 2 with USB type A connector. I had waited around 4 months to receive it do to the bog log of orders and re-engineering of the type A female connector.  I am using it with my iDSD Micro,  Pangea Audio - USB cable - 24 ga solid silver, and Vanguard USB power...

Just downloaded it, I will give it a listen on my iDSD, I have an purifier 2 coming in the mail soon that has the type A connector, so I hope I will enjoy the 256 Album, I only have one 256 album which isn't recorded very well so I look forward to this one. Thank you So much iFi. 

I just wanted to comment on the forum, I have had the iFi iDSD Micro for about a year and just did the vanilla software update for Mac...and all I can say is wow! What did you guys do to it! the sound quality, musicality, PRAT, even ordered harmonics, imaging, and background noise all improved...

There really aren't any good stores in KC anymore for audio, especially headphones, but we could always do another meet.

I have found iOS7 sounds better overall, I have also tried it with the Mcintosh Audio AP1 app, XD music player and of course the native music app, All apps sound better, it does sound less congested, to my ears, without an amp. There is better sound staging and the high end is less harsh and my...

Hey Everyone, I had a question. I am hard pressed to find a cable that would suit my needs for my IE8. I am not all that impressed with the seemingly generic offerings of cables on Ebay for this IEM. It seems like everyone makes their own offering of teflon dialectric IEM cables with stranded...

Quote: It would be almost impossible to DIY something close to Valhalla, It is a highly engineered cable in it's manufacturing process and design and has something like a 60% rejection rate at production.    Quote:   Thanks for the Info I will contact them and see if they...

So are you saying Beat Audio cables are not your product line, but someone else's?   Also the other Unique Melody website has the Hera on there, but nothing about the connection to Valhalla   they have it at this link  ...

I was looking at upgrade cables for my IE8 and saw this   http://cgi.ebay.com/Pro-Upgrade-Cables-Hera-UE-Shure-280-450-800-650-/220783845050?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3367be1eba#ht_1465wt_1141   It uses the specs for Nordost Valhalla speaker cable and even mentions...

cn11 the EX1000 looks like a very good IEM. Can you upgrade the cable on them? I think this IEM is the only one with a frequency range that goes past 20k. I know it has a midrange hump around 5k how do these sound compared to the Senns? Oh and do you know if they sound harsh when listening to...

cn11 how do you like those cables? those were some of the first ones I found. Have they burned in any more? Also have you tried burning it in with burn in discs like Isotek or Densen Demagic? Or anything like those? I am really interested in OCC copper because I hear in some cases it is...

I am really curious about many of these cables, Also if ALO or other copmanies could custom make some cables, I do find these cables very interesting and might get them eventually because the prices look right.   ...

Miku39 sorry for taking so long to respond. to answer your question Error correction doesn't add jitter it just cannot fix all of it Jitter is a timing based distortion so any time domain changes in clock speed and timing effect the sound in phase coherence, sound stage, and frequency...

 Actually power cords do make a huge difference. They can effect resistance of the incoming AC wave. They can effect Volt Amps Reactive and just amperage in general. That is why power cords are UL rated for certain amperage level the more stable current you have the better the system will sound...

Hey guys This is Zack from Primus Audio Just wanted to let you know that the meet is happening tomorrow and here are general directions to get to the store. Map of 715 May St Ste 100 Kansas City, MO by MapQuest As you can see we from the map we are very close to highways 70 & 35 so making...

This is Zack From Primus Audio, The store is very flexible on times and can really accommodate almost any time, the main times that wouldn't work would be Saturday, and the middle of the day can sometimes get busy, but almost any other time would work and an early evening event time would...

Actually these mods make a lot of sense, many wall warts are non linear power supplies and don't do a very good job at giving you stable current and/or voltage. The reason it is possibly worth moding the cambridge is because The DSPs inside aren't really in other USB DACs. Anagram DSPs are known...

Yeah I know this Thread is a little old, but I thought I would chime in. The DAC section of the i3.3 is Very Similar to that of the Sim Audio CD-1. I am a Sim Dealer and can tell you that the sound character of the DACs is very resolved with lots of air, low jitter, and great up-sampling...
