Listen to all types of music hiphop, dance, classical and jazz predominately.  Source is a dedicated Macbook to a Schiit Bifrost/Lyr combo.    What would you guys recommend? HE1000? HD800S? LCD-X?    Thanks for your help.

I can't decide between the above IEM's. They will usually be played from a smartphone. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the advice.

Hey everyone.   I have a great home setup but can't seem to take it with me. So I was hoping for a good portable setup that can be easily carried in a pocket or a recommendation for a good set of earphones to plug into my iPhone playing lossless files. I want the best value. I listen to a lot...

I'm looking for a new portable source with the ability to play multiple formats: FLAC/ALAC/AAC/MP3 with rates up to 192khz and 24 bit.    This will be hooked up with a either Sennheiser IE 80 or Westone 4R without a portable DAC.   Furthermore, I use Mac as I remember this made a difference...

Looking to upgrade my portable set up and looking for some input. My desktop rig is Schiit with HD650 and I love it. I listen to a lot of jazz and hip hop and will likely just run my new IEM's out of my iPod or iPhone without an amp. Thank for the input.

This DAC will go with my Schiit Lyr and Sennheiser 650's.   Any help would be appreciated?    I know that the Peachtree is highly acclaimed from reviews and from what I have read the Schiit seems to be fair but not outstanding.   Any help would be appreciated?   Thanks.

Hi,    I'm looking to purchase a DAC for my Sennheiser HD 650's which will be powered by a very good headphone amp.    Currently, Im down to the HRT Music Streamer 2 + vs Music Fidelity V-Dac 2 vs the Schiit Bifrost.   I will be buying blind regardless but who appreciate some input...
