    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    maybe it is my well worn ears, but the 700's treble spike is not a problem, love these cans and love all the vocal bashers who were instrumental in getting the price on these things knocked down so far!

    looking for a better male reducting adaptor (jokes welcome)

    Problem, plugging full size phones into minijack on emo xda-2 (or any other mini female receptor).  The jack is breaking.  Too much torque with the easily avaiable male reducing adaptor and it gets bumped by the keyboard especially with the large sheilding piece on the Senn hd700 cable.  The...

    P.O.S. Modi

    I am looking to build a new chimney.  Please send me all your bricked modis.  Seriously, Schiit, how about some real help on this issue.  The driverless Modi 1s brick after a windows 7 update.  The problem is not the cable, port, power management etc.  The problem is that it detects immediately...

    Hifiman HE-400 repair

    Hi,   I have treated my Hifiman-400s with the ultimate care.  This was made difficult by the ridiculously stiff sheathing on the cord.  Now I find that both wires have seen the sheathing break and peal away a half inch from the rubber surrounds at the jack into the phones.  I have tried to use...

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

    i have the xda-2,  the noise is inaudible, so, with twice the parts and nearly twice the cost, you can make the noise twice as inaudible

    Start with a Bifrost or go with Gungnir for Teac HA-501 and HD-650s

    Start with a Bifrost or go with Gungnir for Teac HA-501 and HD-650s

    no reason for Gungnir unless you want to take advantage of balanced.  no one can tell the difference audibly between the uber Bifrost and the Gungnir, ever the Schiit web page almost says the same in their product guides.

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

      I use ratshack version, about $1.50 per.  Splits modi to magni and to emotiva a-100.  You definately do not want to do frequent plug changes on the modi, the connections will fail.

    Double blind test 128Kbps vs lossless? I'll be amazed if you can tell much difference

    It would be quite a revelation if we all eventually learn from the original poster that the two tracks are in fact clones.  I can only seem to perceive differences when I play short chunks of 10-15 seconds back to back.  Listening on AKG 702 straight out of my Gigabyte onboard realtek hd I think...

    • Headphone Jack Rated Output/Impedance CD, etc. (1 kHz, 40 mV, 8 Ω) ............................... 150 mV/100 Ω   what, if anything, can be concluded from these numbers in terms of what sorts of cans can be driven from this amp

    K701 thread

    I have been enjoying my AKG 702 cans for about a week.  The soundstage is incomparable, the frequency response true.  I listen mostly to classical and americana acoustic stuff.  Major upgrade over the Senn 590s I had been running.  I have played them from my NAD C370 integrated jack and also...

    I need a fish

    Black grouper is the right call here.  A firm white fish that has excellent texture and low oil.  Fish for the palate that does not like fishiness.  For the nut,  macadamia would be great.  Bake the grouper in tin foil with some seasoning.  Grate the macadamia nuts over prior to serving.  Sweet...
