Hi guys, I have a query and would totally appreciate any kind input to my following question:- I currently have a ps audio DL III DAC connected with the XLR-outs to a transformer volume control pre-amp. Now, i noticed that the TVC has XLR-outputs and was wondering if it is possible to hook...

Does anyone have experience with the abovementioned DAC and how it stacks up to the current heavyweights (benchmark, lavry, stello, aqvox)? Looks very tempting at rrp USD995 based on the BB PCM1798 DAC chipset (http://www.psaudio.com/products/digital_link_iii.asp). Not sure when this model...

Greetings DIY-ers, your invaluable insight is most appreciated in these times of desperate needs! I recently bought a pair of used vdh cables, and i realised there was a problem of intermittance with one of the cables (the one labelled in blue); so I unscrewed the factory terminated rca...

Hi, Lately i've been contemplating the act of passively biamping my speaker rig in horizontal configuration by purchasing a cheap T-amp (trend audio ta-10 http://www.trendsaudio.com/EN/Product/TA-10_desc.htm) and configuring it as a poweramp to drive the lower frequencies of the monitor audio...

Sorry, posted in the wrong forum. Pls remove this thread, thanks!

Hi guys, From my understanding, i do know that copper gives a warm, "atmospheric" sound while silver gives a "fast, tight and bright" sound. Any idea what carbon does to the mix?

Hi Guys, Would really appreciate it if you peeps could give recommendations for a "warm" sounding pair of interconnects, as currently my whole system is slightly "edgy and bright" and basically very fatiguing to listen to. I would particularly fancy a cable which gives a wide soundstage, less...

After many days and nights of tossing and turning, I finally gave in to the elusive seduction of the dt770s.... CURSE YOU HEADFIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !@#$!^@!$@!%^!@#!... i'm now waiting impatiently for its arrival, ETA: Wednesday. I sure as hell hope this new acquisition quenches my thirst for...

Wow, how time flies... can't believe i've been here for a year. What better way to commemorate this day than to post my 100th thread? Headfi has sucked the living daylights outta me, and has made me into a total audio geek. My spouse thinks i'm dumb, my buddies think i'm anal and weird and...

Upgraditis hits once again! Is there such a hybrid headphone which encompasses the great grado bass slam (felt with the flats) with the sennheiser's great soundstage imaging? After taking a 6 month break away from the grados, I guess what i really missed about them was just the bass slam and...

Anybody on me with this?? On my rig, I used to be able to listen effortlessly for 6 hours straight with my old unbranded OFC mini->RCA cable, but with the pivot, I could only manage 2 hours before my ears give out due to the emphasized brightness?? (and this was on a hd580 w/ stock cable). I...

Greets to all, after reading/researching on the best cost effective source upgrade, i purchased an av710, then set it up according to mr radar's guide. What surprises me, is that when I plugged my sr-80 directly into output 7/8 , the volume was very anemic compared to the audigy 1's output. Is...

how's the soundstage imaging like for the dt770-80? From what i know, it is a closed headphone.. and generally open headphones tend to sound better. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...... Does anybody have any recommendations for open headphones with good bass response while not sacrificing...

greetings all.... will the headphone output of a DJ mixer work as a headphone amplifier???? i currently own a pioneer djm300 mixer..and not sure whether to splurge on headroom's total bithead?? anyone can help here??? i'm a blooming headfi-er
