Can't get enough of these guys.  Love everything I've heard/read about them.   I own a compass and am very happy with it.  Would like to try Wolfson 8741.  Seeing as how I am happy w/ the amp on the compass should I go with NFB 3.1 and then amp it with the compass?  OR should I go with...

Looking for a DAC.  I would imagine that a DAC same price as a DAC/Amp combo would be better quality w/o the amp.  Am I wrong?  Either way, here is what I'm looking for!     DAC <400$ Headphone Out RCA/Line Out   USB in - possibly with some upsampling (not a must but who knows :)...

Hey guys, been awhile but I always come pitifully crawling back.   Here's what I've got:   1)  Windows 7 x64 PC running a PCI Emu-0404 sound card   2)  Heed Canamp   3)  AKG K701   4)  Sensaphonic ProPhonic 2X-S custom dual driver IEM's   5)  Current Generation 15"...

I originally had an old Marantz 1080 paired with some Sennheiser HD600's.  Then I got a modded EMU0404 PCI sound card.     Now i've been with the AKG K701 and the Heed Canamp for at least a year.     Looking for some sort of advice.     1) Should source be the next upgrade?    ...

I have a pair of AKG K701's and a Heed Canamp. I'm wanting a dac 400$ or less that has USB input and RCA out as I have some vandenhul interconnects i want to use. Suggestions? Thanks

I recently acquired a Heed Canamp and pair of AKG K701's. At the purchase I was also persuaded to buy a pair of Van Den Hul interconnects. Usually I listen through a modded EMU-0404 I purchased from head-fi a long time ago, but I have still yet to find working Windows 7 drivers for it...

Sorry, I could probably do some research and get to an answer, but I just dont have the time these days Ran into some extra money and decided I wanted to get an amp. I have been wanting to try a Gilmore Lite, however everything I read about tubes sounds so good. Is there any tube amp out...

I really like the wallets jfold makes.. but I'm a college student and really cant justify spending 60$ on it. Any suggestions?

I heard a cd or artist earlie today named "guitar caliente". I've never heard more relaxing and beautiful classic guitar in my life. If any of you have the names of some artists i could look into from this genre, it would be greatly appretiated. It doesnt necessarily have to be latin or...

What do you guys do about them? I live in Oklahoma.. and my family has many pets.. Im allergic to dust, mold, grass, cats, dogs, birds (which we have all 3), etc etc When I was younger they were very bad. I can hardly ever breathe out of my nose stiill to this day however a few years...

Hey everyone, I am looking to purchase some new gear, however a few questions popped into my head. Has ANYONE compared the SOUND of the Aria to the sound of the Emu-0404? - I've got a slightly modded Emu-0404 and my first intentions were to purchase just a new amp which I had narrowed down...

I went through a few pages searching through topics directed at the Gilmore Lite, ah, but to no avail. Whats the difference in versions other than about 50$ (used, and from what I have seen)? Seems to be either this or the Xcan (version unknown) for my next purchase. Thats all Thanks

How did you guys feel when you were deciding whether to move out of the house or not? I'm not necessarily talking about people who moved out to go to college, and then came back home for holidays etc. Just plain old moving out. I am going to turn 20 this year and recently I've been debating...

I am on the list to buy the headfive.. but in the mean time i was wondering if there were any amps that are really well rounded. I hear things like.. "this amp is especially good w/ headphones that have high impedance" etc etc Is there a decent priced amp >400$ that I can buy that works...

When any low notes are played through my headphones.. it rattles. Is this the headphones or a crappy amp?

IMHO, I think it would be awesome if we had a forum that was just for selling non-audio equipment. Computer parts, video games, ... furniture?.. EVERYTHING. I just feel weird about putting it in the Accessories forum.

in 2 minutes it will be 01:02:03 04/05/06 wooooo WOOOOO WOOOOO be afraid

Have you guys ever heard Pink Floyd performed by the London philharmonic orchestra? I'm still on the first song but its awesome!

Earlier today I met up with fellow head-fier Virometal and we swapped phones. I'm going to be borrowing his Sony SA5K's for a week or so. I am currently on the first song and let me start off by saying WOW First song is Time from Dark Side of the Moon I can definitely understand what...

My first pair of headphones were Grado SR-60s. I loved them.. and of course they werent enough. The only thing I did not like about them was how fatiguing they were. They also hurt my ears after extended use. I picked up some HD600's and yes.. I like them. I basically plan on staying with...

Okay so, I hate hate hate playing my original CDs. I don't know why, it is just a pet peeve that formed over the years. Usually what i'll do is rip them and burn backup copies, and play with those. I guess the reason for this is I simply do not take care of the CD's I play... they hardly ever...

And there just seems to be a little something in the sound that I'm always wanting more from. I really plan on trying out a pair of DT880's right when I get the chance, but im not sure if the neutrality of those phones is what I'm looking for. I want colorful, lush, beautiful sound. I want a...

My girlfriend somehow dragged me out here to Memphis Tennessee. Just wondering if any of my dear fellow head-fiers are from around here. Any recommendations? Any shops with decent gear I could audition? Anyone here down for some sort of mini-meet? All I brought are my HD600's. Thanks...
