Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Anyone know whether the TH-900 mkII can fit people with rather large heads? For reference, both the Sony WH-1000XM3 and the AudioTechnica ATH-M20X fit nicely at ful extension without any bending of the headband.- rocktron

New Grace Design m920 DAC/amp with DSD decoding
Just a quick update to my post a few pages back on my impressions of the m920. I previously noted a problem I was having getting the Auralic Aires bridge to send music data to the m920 via USB, requiring me to use S/PDIF. Although the v1.2 FW update a few months back didn't fix the issue, v1.3...- rocktron

New Grace Design m920 DAC/amp with DSD decoding
Just wanted to duck in to say how much I'm enjoying my m920. Prior to getting it back in May, I'd been in the market for a two-box solution (e.g., Phonitor2 + DSD-capable DAC), so when I heard about the do-it-all m920 and the high-quality dac it uses, I snapped one up. Besides features like...- rocktron

SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP
If I didn't need an output selector for use as a preamp, I'd probably go for the Mini.- rocktron

SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP
Yeah, that photo definitely shows off the P2's porkier side. In fact...it seems to be, um...how shall i say, having its way with the diminutive A8 . Anyway, I've checked its dimensions, and it will fit nicely under my 27" iMac.- rocktron

SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP
I only have two sources -- SACD and DAC -- so a typical preamp would be overkill. Besides, I'd prefer something that takes up less real estate on my desk than a typical stereo component. With the Phonitor 2, I could just toggle the output switch and not even need to remove the headphones from...- rocktron

SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP
Glad to hear that. I'm looking for a headphone amp that can also double as a preamplifier for my home office. This just may be the ticket.- rocktron

SPL PHONITOR 2 NEW HEADPHONE AMP
Does anybody know if any special consideration is required for impedance matching when connecting the P2 directly to a power amp?- rocktron

Looking for preamp/headphone amp with input and output selectors
Greetings fellow head-fiers, For my home office, I'm looking for a preamplifer that is capable of switching between headphone and analogue outputs (RCA or XLR), and that has at least two analogue inputs and can select between them. I don't need an onboard DAC, but don't mind having one. So...- rocktron

Ultrasone Edition 8
The binocular case looks great. If I start to worry about them getting knocked about, I can always take a foam insert from my camera bag that would fit my briefcase.- rocktron

Ultrasone Edition 8
Although the Ed8s don't have a proper travel case, I suppose the soft carry bag they come with will provide enough protection when stored in my briefcase. In any event, I don't feel like splurging on the limited edition just to get the hard case. Agreed it would be nice if they folded flat...- rocktron

Ultrasone Edition 8
Greetings to all, Really appreciate all the great first-hand info on these headphones. I'm thinking about getting the Ed8s for use on my daily train commute, and so would like to hear from people who actually use these cans in such a manner. Specifically, I'd like to know how they stand up...- rocktron
