I play Macbook pro on battery // Itunes // alac // Amarra // Jkeny modded Hiface bnc // Oyaide bnc // Audio gd Ref 1// acss //...- t/sound

Are Audio-Gd DAC's all that?
Yikes, your thread has me perplexed. I have read a lot of your comments and you have always had a firm point of view. I thought you had a gift for the gab, slicing painfully with scathing sarcasm. This post seems weak, you like the products but you doubt the company, is there a hint of...- t/sound

Using speaker output's to drive headphones.... and what awesome results!!
No, it was a thread on Headphonic, an Australian headphone forum where it was suggested to use a ME 24 preamplifier, and using an adaptor from the one set of outputs to the power amp, with a Neutrik 1/4 inch receiver, to drive a pair of headphones. I must say it does so very well , even K701 is...- t/sound

Audio-gd Phoenix balanced headphone amp.
Thanks Skylab, its all your fault you know. Your review and comments convinced me to get this Phone and you were spot on. I have had great fun thus far. There has been a lot said about the stock DX 1000, and I was apprehensive about balancing, I am glad I had it done. You know the...- t/sound

What's your best experience for an amp for AKG K 701s?
I set my K701 free, recabled with Vortex copper cable and Bocchino xlr's then mated with the Phoenix. Just in another league , wish you were here.- t/sound

Audio-gd Phoenix balanced headphone amp.
I would like to add my impression of the AKG K 701 in balanced format with the Phoenix amp. There are many threads about the K701 and it is a hot love or hate topic, don't want to go there. There were many aspects of the phone I liked stock, and some I wished were different sounding. ...- t/sound

Audio-gd Phoenix balanced headphone amp.
Hi winzzz , I don't measure quality in $ and cents, let's just say I am happy with a reasonable exchange of value. I guess it's easy to do if you got the skills, I had it done by qusp , a headfier and mot, a great cable builder. I can imagine a fair amount of stress working inside a $1K...- t/sound

Audio-gd Phoenix balanced headphone amp.
I eventually got 2 of my headphones balanced and am enjoying the full potential of the Phoenix. I have used my JVC DX 1000 single ended and found the combination slightly dark and the trebble sweet but lacking in sparkle. On the 0/70 volume setting I was comfortable at 16-19 / 70 . I...- t/sound

What a way with words, painting the picture, making sense of the intricate world of audio. You have a gift slim.a, keep giving.

Just a suggestion, why not move the Hiface powermod to it's own thread. I am sure there will be plenty dedicated discussion leaving this thread to cover discussion about intended comparisons no ? In any event I am sure Mr slim will comment on the mod once he gets it. A nice compact...- t/sound
