    HIDIZS MS4 $50 off

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QPZRW9N/ Just add it to your subscription. Dunno why IEMs would ever need a sub but, wait till it ships/delivered then just cancel. Anyone have experience with these? Might try them out.

    Song tagging splitting them from ablums?

    I'm at my witts end with music players these days. You'd think by now someone would have programed their software to read a full album and know they all stick together, but because there's a Band ft SuchnSuch in the name, oh no, now that's it's own entire album. So now 1 album is split up...

    Need some slow jazz/sax

    Something like this is what I really like: Also been listening to a lot of Katie Melua, Brian Culbertson and Gary BB Coleman. Coleman has some upbeat stuff I'm not too huge a fan of but his slower stuff is excellent. I got some new Focal bookshelf speakers and I'm finding they LOVE being fed...

    DAC clicking through speakers using USB

    I had my computer off all night, get home from work, turn computer on and I started getting this noise. It does the same thing on another computer as well as with different cables. Optical doesn't do this so I'm assuming something's funky with my USB board. I had this issue once before like...

    Need bluetooth earphones that don't suck.

    So I looked around for a couple days, nothing really came up as the best other than the cult following behind the Jaybird X3. Bought a pair of Best Buy, sounds GREAT, fits GREAT but the bluetooth receiver on it is garbage, got my phone in my side pocket while working and it keeps cutting out. I...

    Woo Audio Model: HPS-R/HPS-T Shipment delayed

    I "pre-ordered" a dual headphone stand about a month ago just because I know as soon as they get them in they'll be sold out almost instantly. I'm not in a hurry but out of curiosity I sent them an email to see what their time frame was looking like.     Just so those of you who are also...

    Need a pair of IEMs under 200

    I know there's plenty of threads but what I've found are pretty outdated and either the IEM is discontinued or a new king has arrived.   Bass I'm not obsessed with. I like it to be clean and tight. Mids are what I love the most. I like clean highs. I dunno how else to explain it, I dunno...

    Speaker amp question between two.

    I know this is a headphone forum but I'm sure the lot of you know just as much about speakers too.   I'm replacing my Topping VX1 with a new amp.   I have Audioengine P4 speakers, I may upgrade at some point, not sure yet.   Audioengine N22...

    Who makes some decent USB cables around 6 inches?

    I need a 6incher to go from my Schiit Wyrd to my Modi and I can't seem to find a reputable company who makes them. I generally get my cables from Mediabridge but their shortest is waaaaayyy to long.   I don't believe in paying 40 bucks for a usb cable but I also know buying a piece of junk...

    I need you to sell me on the HD 600 vs HD 700

    I've been looking at the two non stop for weeks and can't really decide which one I want to go for. I have no problem paying the price of the 700 but they both sound like they're sooo good. I unfortunately live in Madison where the only brands that are sold is Bose and Beats and whatever iDevice...

    DAC doing that screechy sound

    I posted this in the Modi section but seeing as not everyone goes in that thread and this issue has popped up on other DAC devices I figured someone could shine some light.   My Modi has been great the last two weeks but it just started doing that high pitch frequency scratchy sound and it...

    Question about y-splitters

    So I got two devices that need to use my Little Dot MKIII's input, however it only has one. I was wondering if there'd be an issue using a Y-splitter to plug them both in?   Got a DJPreII (for my turntable) and a Schiit Modi (computer) that both go into it.   Or is there an easier way to do...

    New Sennheiser HD700 or Used Audeze LCD-2

    I'm currently using my HD598 but plan on buying some new can's pretty soon.   I got a Little Dot MKIII that'll be here this weekend, and later this month I'll buy the new cans.   These days I listen to more electronic/jazzy stuff. Metal is still mixed in there but nearly as much as it used...
