I never has this brand before. It looks nice but I am not sure about the quality about this frame. I know oakley is pretty good but the hugo looks really sharp. Any hint/suggestion? Thanks.

Like title. I want to know Zero DAC(130$ DAC)+60$ dvd player= ???$ CDP. I am looking for a CDP now but I do not know which price tag I should look into. I already have Zero DAC(130$ DAC)+60$ dvd player so if the new CDP is worse then this I just should not get it. Thanks a lot!

I really should not call it is a review because I do not think I can do it yet. It is just some feeling I got after I finally got 3 cans and can listen them for 2 hours. Source is Mac Book pro - > duet AMP is DV332 with 6S19P SVETLANA and 5654 TUNG-SOL Music is Linn Records - Super...

I will be in LA - actually Pasadena next weekend and I have half day in Sunday. I really want to use this half day to visit some shop where I can hear some cans I never even see. Like Stax? Any suggestion? Thanks a lot!

Like the title said, if I do not care about anything else, which one? Should cost less than 400$ used and can still be found. Thanks. Also I already have HD650/580 and D2000 is on the road. I feel 650's Soundstage is pretty good but I want something bigger

Just put the order and waiting. Now is cable prepare time. My question is the XLR mic input in duet is 3 pin or 4 pin? Thanks.

Just like the title. I am thinking about buying a portable CDP with optical output to play. Not ready to buy a big CDP yet. I am not sure about budget yet - let's put 200$. Thanks.

Boa is back in stock now! iBasso

I have HD580 and HD650 both drive by DV332/Zero/MacBook. I bought them because I think I can compare and decide myself. After 1 month listening I feel I have to keep them both. They are different, at least in my setup they present totally different sound to me. 650 give me rich, powerful...

I think there is not prefect headphone - sorry I think most of them agree with it. So instead of "if you only can own one which one you..." should we talk about what the perfect phone set you should have base on your music interest? Something like HD580+HD650+denon D2000+? will be a prefect...

I am think about to get a USB DAC+AMP combo for D2000. I read though here then find out I can get a portable USB AMP from 150 - 500$. Maybe 500$ is best one? I am not sure because I need something works best for D2000. Not D1000, not HD650 and not D5000. It will be used in Office so...

I have HD650 and 580 and I like them. I like 650 better. 580 give me more detail but 650 make my ear more happy. But I do not think I got what I expect for yet. I want something I will say WOW or that's it when I listen. My wallet is not ready for stax yet so I am think about the follow...

Hi, I have a question about DAC here - maybe sounds too newbie. How long a DAC can find clock sync that it likes then start decoding? I just got my first DAC and start to use it. Macbook + cheap(6$ Panasonic) toslink cable cost 4 minutes to start play. Macbook + USB audio card(creative...

I know the tube amp need maybe 20 minutes to warm up before listen. But does the DAC need it too? My lite dac 38(Pacific Valve & Electric Company Lite DAC 38) does not have any sound output for maybe 3 minutes then works fine. BTW I really like this DAC. Works with MACBOOK so well

I got Lite DAC 38 and zero already. Amp is DV 332 and the phone is HD650 and 580. Now the last one is a CD player. Budget is 300$. Any suggestion? I am thing about a toshiba HD-DVD player which will cost me 70$. Will a 300 CD player perform better then it? Thanks.

Just listened the Soul of Tango (Yo-Yo Ma). I am really enjoying it. Can anyone recommend some more music like this? Thanks a lot!

I know it is an unfair compare but I really interested to know. The 131 cost 2 times as the Zero. So any comment?

HI, I have a question: I am using cog to play flac in MAC. If I turn the vol(cog) to 100% when I play one song I can hear some noise from the right ear. It sound like the phone has some problem - something like scratching. If I turn the val to 90% the noise just gone even I turn the vol in...

How about 6S19P SVETLANA Tubes PERFECTLY MATCHED PAIR + Sockets - (eBay.ca item 350077095257 end time 06-Aug-08 05:18:35 EDT) and 2 TUBES 6AK5 EF95 5654 TUNG-SOL NOS - VALVOLE Röhren - (eBay.ca item 370065267786 end time 31-Jul-08 05:54:38 EDT) Thanks.

And when you are using it do you plug in the charger? I am almost decide to buy Keces DA-151 but I got this information about it is possible the charger will cause some noise into Keces DA-151. I have MAC book pro and eee pc which is I am going to use with Keces DA-151 but I am not sure the...

I will only use it via USB from my laptop. My AMP is Dark voice 332 and phone is HD 650. The reason I put tube there is because I think(or assume) tube dac will be good choice to my setup. Any suggestion? I did the search for whole and the result make me even more confused Thanks.

One of them is: Sennheiser HD600 Over-Ear Open Dynamic Hi-Fi Professional Stereo Headphones (Black). The other one is: Remanufactured Sennheiser HD600 Over-Ear Open Dynamic Hi-Fi Professional Stereo Headphones The only difference I found is the 2nd one is Re manufactured and $9 cheaper...
