    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    From what I have learned, all of the SpinFit line are a bit smaller by design. My first pair were CP800 for Shure SE846. I liked the Shure M tips so I ordered M CP800. They didn't seal well being significantly smaller diameter. I ordered the L CP800 which fit perfectly. I ordered the L CP155...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    Same here. I've replaced the headband and pads with both OE and Dekoni fenestrated. They continue to look and sound as good as new.

    I've had the fenestrated Dekoni pads on my HD-800 for months and continue to enjoy them.

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    I don't think there are any remote functions for the BHA-1. I've thought about using the BP-26 preamp outputs into the BHA-1, but there would be two volume controls in the signal path in order to get remote volume control. Right now, I'm quite happy using the balanced outputs from the BDA-3...

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    This is pair I've held onto while trying many others. Nothing compares to the BHA-1/HD-800 balanced in/out combination.

    I kept the HD800 and Focal Clear for just that reason. It's nice to switch. The LCD-2 should be a good combination as well ...

    Focal Clear headphones

    The Clears do sound better with my Bryston BHA-1 balanced, but they're just as enjoyable and getting more head time with my A&K Kann. They make a really nice combination with the short cable.

    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    My experience with xdcard formats is the X5 III performs best when the card is formatted FAT32 using the X5's own format function. I've tried externally formatting NTFS FAT32 and exfat. All exhibited some instability. I thought that the largest stable xdcard in the X5 III was 256GB?

    Focal Clear headphones

    Nice review conquerator2 Thanks. I haven't had the chance to compare my Clear to the LCD-2C. I'm LCD-less at the moment. I'm doing a fun comparison right now. Using a BHA-1 amp swapping back and forth between Clear, HD800 and iSine 20. The Clear is a nice all-around enjoyable listen with much...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    crayons23 I'm surprised that your headband is causing you discomfort. It's not common with HD800/S owners. The headband pad on my older HD800 has gotten pretty compressed and doesn't offer much cushioning any more. I just ordered a Sennheiser replacement. No-one makes an aftermarket generic...

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    Not my experience makan Changing from single-ended to balanced inputs doubles the power at the balanced outputs. The difference in resolution and dynamics is stunning by comparison. My own system uses a BDA-3 DAC balanced into the BHA-1 and 4-pin balanced out to a few different headphones...

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    I think it's discontinued. The Canadian distributor told me that they can no longer get any new stock of HA-2SE.

    Review by 'jtinto' on item 'Focal Clear'

    With the ever escalating prices of new high-end headphones, Focal introduced the Clear priced between their Elear and Utopia with top-notch build quality and included accessories. I am very pleased with these on portable amps and dedicated balanced separates. They compare very favourably with my...

    You're right. My bad. I was thinking about how I checked the firmware on my BDA-3

    Connect your BDA-2 to internet with ethernet cable. Use the internal web browser interface to check for any available upgrades.

    Schiit Mjolnir vs Bryston BHA-1 (and Schiit Gungnir vs Bifrost)

    IMO, BDA-3 / BHA-1 combination as a headphone or speaker front end is exceptional.

    MAD Ear+ Purist HD thread.

    My Ear+ doesn't have any trouble driving HD800 or LCD-3F at moderate listening levels. The HD800 is a harder to drive, less efficient, high impedance, but has more headroom because it doesn't require the current that the LCD does. So, I prefer the HD800 and RS1i on my Ear+.   I used to have...
