    Hi guys,   I hope this is a right room to post the thread. I've been using the iD100 dock with my iPhone and the iPad 2. I don't know why recently it doesn't work with my iPad anymore. When I hook it up with the iD100, nothing happens. No charging, no sound going through when I play music...

    please recommend some music similar to Jack Johnson's

    Hi,   I don't have good knowledge about music. I can't even differentiate "the music" styles when I listen to them. Like Jack Johnson's music, I don't know what style that he's performing. But the first time I listened to him, I felt really relaxed and flying with his melody.   I want to...

    Graham slee SRGII power question

    I've got the GS SRGII with the green PSU. Since the GS doesn't have any power on/off button, is it bad if I plug in the power core all the time, does it consume a lot of power?   Thanks!

    How to make a friend surprised with my IE8 SQ?

    Hi,   The thing is that he has a chinese crappy earphone (not earbud). When he tried my IE8, he said that he didn't see any big difference and so he is satisfied with his earphone. How to convince him in this case?

    invested an amp but...

    Hi,   I don't have golden ears like many headfiers in this forum. When I hook my DT770 (250 Ohms) directly to my computer, I can't see any big difference with Edirol (24bit DAC) + GS Solo II setup. The only thing I can see is a bit better sound stage and a bit more warmth. Now I feel that...

    In my case, should I buy a DT770?

    Hi, I've been thinking about this question for a few days. I have a HD650 at home. I think it's good enough for me to enjoy the music from my laptop. My current home setup is: Laptop - Dacmagic - Doge Tube - HD650. I also bought a GS Solo II with a hope to replace the Chinese Doge Amp, but...

    Some questions after research

    Hi,   After doing a little research about computer audio such as USB audio, DAC, sampling and resolution (bit). I've a few questions for you: 1. So far, I've thought that a DAC is like a second external sound card of a computer which is better than the on-board sound card. Is it correct...

    Any Doge 6210 owners out there?

    Hi Doge owners,   I'd like to know your comparison between the Doge 6210 and other amps, especially with HD650 cans.   The reason is that the HD650 and Doge 6210 are my first headphone and amp, and there are also very few Doge threads in this forum. Therefore I'm curious to know how the...

    Do IEM phones sound better than full-size phones?

    Hi,   I own one Senn IE8 and one HD650 for some time. Today, I played the same song to compare them. I feel that the IE8 sounds better than the HD650. Not to mention about the bass, but the IE8's sound stage is wider. I don't know if there is some thing wrong with my audio system for the...

    Iphone --> DacMagic, possible?

    AFAIK that this setup works: Ipod --> onkyo DN-S1 dock --> DacMagic   It seems that the Onkyo only supports ipod not Iphone(??). Is there any other way to go?   Thanks!

    Looking for headphones for basshead (hd650 as base/reference)

    Hi,   I'm very interested in the HD650. But I don't know if its bass is sufficient enough for me? I own a Senn in-ear IE8 and I really love its bass. And I also own an hd595, but I feel that the 595's bass is weak when I use it straight out of my laptop. My favorite kinds of music are: pop...
