Title says it all.

How would you compare these. Is the open backed 800S better than the 820 closed back? Not sure why the 820 is more expensive?

Title says it all, looking to expand my collection by one. Own the Audeze lcd5 and focal stellia. What would you all recommend as the next pair? Sennheiser 820? Focal utopia? Meze empyrian ? Others…

I’ve been out of the market for awhile. What are the current TOTL closed back options out there? Focal stellia, dan Clark stealth, Hifiman HE-R10P? What is the newest? Anything from Audeze? Using a chord TT2 to drive it. Other set of HP i have are the Audeze LCD 5 so how would these...

I’m considering both of these. A few questions. How efficient is the 5 vs 4z? Can you really drive the 4z without an amp, just the phone? Could you drive the 5s with a chord Hugo 2 or would you need a TT2? Any other considerations? Thanks

Will the chord TT 2 support apples new Hifi lossless 192 tier using alac? Thanks

I guess I missed the press release on Apple Music digital masters. How do these compare to tidal, amazon, and qobuz? Is there a way to see apple digital masters in Apple Music? I don’t see the logos? Thanks

looking to get two bnc cables for a chord m scaler. Trying to decide between Nordost blue heaven vs silver shadow vs heimdall. Any thoughts from the experts here? Thanks

what bit rate is Apple Music (44.1 or 48) and how does this compare to tidal? Thanks

Not sure where to post this. So if you are trying out top end headphones 2000+ what is your go to track? Not go to 2-5 but a single. Tough choice. After tonight i think mine is beautiful love by Shirley horn. Yours?

Not sure where to post this.  I'm using a hugo TT into a gsx mk2 running it balanced and using an iPad tidal as a source.  It's worked great for a year.  Last night five minutes into streaming I got static/jitter.  If I unplug my iPad and then reconnect it then it works for about five minutes...

Not sure if this has been posted yet but earlier this week Apple introduced a new CCK that allows you to charge your iPhone or iPad while using the CCK. I just got one and tried it with a mojo and Hugo tt and it worked great.

I'm using tidal to stream from my phone and iPad. Is this currently the highest quality streaming service that can be used on an iPhone and iPad? Thanks

I regognize the advantages of open back headphones but for a number of reasons I need to pick up a reference closed back set. I know Audeze has the xc, there is the ether c, ultrasound unlimited edition 5, not sure if hifiman has a closed back or sennheiser has a closed 800 model? Any thoughts...

Can folks elaborate on the amp. Is it not only sufficient but very capable to drive the Hifiman 1000 or lcd4? In searching threads it is mixed. Some say yes and others say you need an external amp. I am cosidering buying the tt but don't want to need to pair it with an external amp and it will...

A few articles today with rumors Apple may introduce a high bitrate streaming option in 2016 similar to tidal. I would be psyched but worried my existing dacs may not support it or God forbid existing headphones. Do you think you could replace headphone cables with a newer version with a...

What is the best amp to pair with a chord Hugo tt. I would like balanced outputs as well as unbalanced. Btw. Do you notice much of a difference with balanced vs unbalanced or is it just some hype. Thanks

Going back and forth between these two to power ultrasone edition 5 headphones when used with an ipad. Any guidance from the experts on this site? Also how about these vs centrance or fostec? Thanks

So tidal announce with jay-z and great fanfare their new/old offering tonight.   The iPad app is clumsy.  But to stream lossless vs 320 aac is tempting.  Can you really hear the difference.  I think I can but it is about a 5% difference and when you combine it with 25 per month vs 10 and and the...

Right now I'm using an apple camera adaptor cable from my iPad to a usb b high end cable. kind of a shame to attach an expensive cable to a cheap camera adaptor cable. Does anyone make a higher end short camera adaptor cable for Apple devices? Thanks

Do they make such a thing or do you need to use the apple camera adapter?  I kind of feel like it is a shame to attache a apple camera adaptor to a high end cable.  I can't seem to find one though?  thanks

Tube or not? A usb is a must. Thanks

I've been reading these forums and it seems like the marantz and oppo are regarded highly. Is there one that is generally preferred? Are there others that are more expensive that is better? One key requirement is that I can plug a iPhone or iPad directly in using the standard FireWire to use...

I have a fostec hp-p1, centance hifi-m8, and now a marantz hd-dac1. All three you can connect a usb to FireWire and you are good to go with a iPhone or iPad. The marantz is a little out of sync for video and audio when watching movies which is disappointing since it sounds great. Is there...
