    uDac 2 and OSX El Capitan

    Hi! Is anyone still using the Nuforce uDAC 2? I updated to OSX 10.11 and my audio no longer works. I did read a few other people with this, just wondering if any smart people here found a workaround :-)

    New Harman Kardon Headphones

    Five new models - two IEMs, one on-ear, and two over-ear headphones. One of the over-ears are bluetooth compatible, and the other are wired noise canceling headphones. Anyone think they'll be any good? Looks like it's going to be an Apple Store only product, like the B&W P5's and P3's.  ...

    New Nuforce iDO - August 2011

    I just got an email from Nuforce talking about a new product this spring. I thought I would find a lot of pre-release interest with a google search (and here)...but I found nothing! Did anyone else get the email regarding the iDUH?   Quote from Nuforce Email:   EDIT 5/22/11 per post...

    Possible that my body "rejects" in-ear headphones?

    Background: I used to wear in ear headphones in ~2007. My first in-ear headphones were Sennheiser Cx-300 and the V-Moda Bass-Freq. I lost those some where (the Sennheisers I found again recently), and moved onto full size headphones such as the Audio Technica AD-700 and the AKG K702 (and a slew...

    DAC/Amp combo

    Hi guys,   I'm in the market for an amp that has a built in DAC built in (unless I can be convinced that this isn't a good idea).   Basically, I want an amp/dac that can also be hooked up to a speaker amp without me constantly switching cable inputs all the time when going from...

    Portable, Comfortable Headphone

    Hi guys,   I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones similar to the Bose On-Ear headphones.   Some requirements/needs:   1) Comfortable - I can wear these and not feel like my ears are being squeezed. While I like my K518 (and my M50's, when I owned them), I'm looking for...

    AKG K518LE Review

    Background: Hello Head-Fi! Since I bought my AKG K702, I pretty much sold off all my headphones that were worth selling, and pretty much have only used the K702 at hom (I use the Portapros and KSC75 for travel). However, I missed having a pair of closed headphones (the M50's were my favorite...

    Head-Fi iPhone App

    I think this has been mentioned before - but what would it take for Head-Fi to become an iPhone app? Browsing a forum on a mobile device isn't the easiest (especially this site!). The AVSForum app is really great.

    Review: Ultrasone PRO 650 vs. Audio-Technica M50

    I recently picked up a pair of PRO 650 headphones during the Musician's Friend closeout, and wanted (for fun) to compare it to one that I had that would serve the same purpose: the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. The M50 has the edge of being used for many, many hours, and I have not burned in the...

    Is my Sansa Clip....Dead?

    I just got a refurb Sansa Clip from Buy.com, and I plugged it in, transferred some songs, and was toying around with it (radio, playback, recording), and after about 20 minutes it shut off and hasn't been able to turn back on. I thought it was a battery issue, so I have been charging it for the...

    What other AKG Phone Sounds like the AKG K240M?

    Just wondering - does AKG have a consistent sound signature? I own a pair of 600ohm AKG K240 Monitors, but would like to get something that has velour pads.   The K240 MKII and the K702 are obvious options - I was wondering if they'd be consistent in sound sig. with the K240Ms. Should I look...

    Do High Impedance Phones hiss when used with an Amp?

    So, I just got my first amp, and I've been using my headphones with it. My setup is Macbook Pro 2007 > Nuforce uDAC > AV123 X-Head.   I've been trying my headphones out with it, and I noticed that I'm getting some hissing that wasn't there before from some of my headphones (in my signature)...

    What to get after the AD700s?

    My main headphone setup right now consists of my Audio-Technica AD700 headphones > Nuforce uDAC > Macbook Pro (2007).   I also own the ATH-M50, as well as an old pair of AKG K240 Monitors (300ohms).   The AD700 is by far my favorite pair in terms of sound and comfort. I'm pretty happy...

    Just bought a pair of Vintage AKG K240 Headphones

    AKG K240 headphones - eBay (item 230429693704 end time Jan-27-10 00:41:27 PST) The price was really low, and the seller says it was in usable condition. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, but $40 is worth it to try out a pair! I think these are the 600 ohm version, so I won't be using my...
