I have the original JH-13's from JA in the hardcase and original cables. What would these sell for right now if I wanted to sell them? If this is not the right forum for price check questions, please let me know where to direct it. THanks

I have room for a 2.0/2.1 system so I'd like to go that route instead of a sound bar, but I'm having trouble finding a good set that has optical in (TOSLINK) AND IR control (so that I can use my TV's universal remote to control volume)   Looking to keep it around 200USD   Any suggestions?  I...

They're using an ESS 9023P with an RC4580 Amp.  I'm wondering if anyone has the output impedance measurements and any curves on this setup? 

Hi Guys,   Posting here since you guys are the smartest bunch we have here on these boards.   My Essence STX has an output impedance of 10ohms on the HP output. Not great I know.   With 32ohm cans like Denon's and Grado's, I get some sibilance issues and I believe it also affects bass...

http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/16/asus-padfone-2-hands-on/   http://www.insidehw.com/reviews/mobility/7388-review-asus-padfone-2-second-to-none   Basically, everyone is gushing over it.. I want it.. its available in Taiwan only right now and you can get it on eBay.   But I'd love to...

After engadget's review of this unit (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/25/asus-padfone-2-review/) which was basically a 4.9/5 (if they gave numbers) I seriously want one.   I have the iphone 4s which is so far the best sounding phone (better in audio quality then the iphone 5 as well) but I...

Where I plan on setting up my listening area, there is a dimmer on the same circuit, so I'm looking at a power conditioner to make sure my gear has a nice clean power signal.   But I know nothing about who is a good brand . I would need about 5-6 ports and would not like to spend more then...

What I'm looking for, is something that will let me hold a mobile phone solidly (like a tripod) but that I can attach to my shoulder/thigh so that it can record things 'hands free'.   Similar to the Joby GorillaMobile (in that it is flexible and can be adjusted to any position)...

So I just found out that with the official bumper case for my iphone 4s (which is the same bumper for the 4), the right angle jack on my JH-13 pro can't be inserted into the jack due to the thickness of bumper.   How did you guys go around this? Just a male to female 1/8" adapter?   Have...

Not sure if its old news, but just got word from Brittany that they're working on a cable that'll have the inline mic so all us iphone users have one less reason to remove the IEM's!   She doesn't have an ETA though but it'll be announced on facebook (and I assume twitter) when available...

http://audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/NFB-1/NFB1WMEN.htm   Has anyone heard this DAC yet? Looks very interesting with the dual power supplies.   The wife has decided that we need to upgrade our speaker setup so that she can enjoy the 'hi fis' as well so I'm looking at this or possibly the Anedio...

Running the 0.19beta (latest I think) firmware.  Tried to play my first ever 24bit 96khz and nothing happens.  Stays at 00:00:00.  If I leave it alone for 10 seconds, it completely freezes and battery removal is required.   Has anyone played 24bit 96khz successfully? If so, what SD card and...

The same one that comes with the HM801.  Where can I get another one?

Is there such a way to do this or must I use another program to play FLACs? 

Brand new 15"MBP, 2.0ghz, 4gb ram, 128gb SSD   I want to develop for iOS so I needed a mac that can run XCode.   But I also wanted to finally see what the big deal with macs is as well.  So what are some of the things I should do as soon as I get a MBP?   One thing that I noticed...

After finally settling on the Caliente as my amp of choice, I noticed that their prices are now 249CAD for all amps.  (Old price was 399 I believe)   http://www.purityaudio.biz/products.php

From reading around, both of these would seem to be good matches but I'm curious which one actually is better if anyone was lucky enough to hear both of them.  I also can't find the P-P voltage swing specifications on either of these headphone amps so I can't even tell which one is more...

I'm looking to get a pair of DT880's for gaming as I've heard they're the best (but also do a respectable job as stereo music headphones)   Question is, should I go for 32,250 or 600ohm?  I have the essence STX sound card which these will be used with so it won't have a problem driving...

Is v19 beta the last version we're gonna get? I'm asking because its been months now since that release, there's still bugs and features missing (gapless) and the only reason I come to head-fi anymore is to check to see if there's a new firmware.  So if there isn't going to be, can you let your...

I'm looking to built an HTPC and want a soundcard for my Z-5500 that'll have 5.1 and be up to par with the Z-5500 (basically to allow them to perform at their best, as weak as they may be)...   The ST+H6 is just too much money (and doesn't have a low profile option) so I'm wondering what...

I've been able to switch the player to DAC mode through COAX-IN and use it fine before v19 firmware. However since then, it just boots into normal player mode.  I can see the logo of a DAC mode showing up for 0.1 seconds then immediatelly the menu of the player overrides it.  Its not cosmetic...

Has anyone tried this combo yet? I was planning on feeding my HM801 from my computer's library through the HiFace.. in fact I'd get jkenny's modified hiface.. I'm wondering since the HM801 uses that mini-coaxial input, if there will be issues in connecting the BNC output of the hiface to the...

Pioneer PL-990 TT and a Shure M97XE Cartridge   I don't want to get a used TT because I want something new, with warranty, that works and will work in the foreseeable future.  Also the PL-990 seems to have a pre-amp that'll output an RCA connection which will make it very easy to hook it up...

Go buy this album .. now.. NOW.. buy two copies... this is like megadeth's and slayer's new album combined and 10x better.. I can't say enough good things about it... bonded by wha? this is going to be their best release to date I think.

I know, you probably rolled your eyes right? Lets get some facts right off the bat before I delve into it a bit deeper. I don't believe in solid state burn-in. I don't believe in IEM burn-in (be it dynamic or BA) and as for regular headphones, think that the first hour is enough for any type...
