Excellent. Thankyou :)   whoops... did i say i'll make my own cable? Allow me to amend and correct... Cables :D

Not happy. Not happy at all. Got my LCD-2s in January 2016 (new ovangkol version) and the original cable lasted until July. They've never moved from my computer desk.   When i spend this much money i expect things to be a bit better quality than this, my £15 sennheiser HD201s have lasted at...

Looking for a pair of wireless headphones to connect up to my system largely just so that i can continue listening to youtube videos whilst enthroned so they don't need to be summit-fi quality, but do need to have a coaxial digital input as it's the only output I have spare   All i've been...

When I connect my Aune X1S to the USB of my 2nd pc, which has no other digital sound outputs, i get quite a lot of noise on the speaker amp connected to the Aune's line out   To attempt to fix this, I have made up a little usb pigtail M-F with only the middle pins (data + and -) wired. Have...

  Guilty as charged. More than any car i have ever owned for myself (bought a few more expensive to sell over the years) and that's just my headphones LOL

  I ended up buying the Aune X1S because of its ES9018 "flagship" DAC, multiple digital inputs, line in, and line out. This fits better into my intended system than the odac2 because I have four digital sources (two via a TOSLINK doubler), one analogue source and i wish to connect to a speaker...

YKYAAW you spend three weeks over the christmas period thinking at least 12 hours a day about cabling for one run of RCA line, one run of coaxial digital, two runs of optical digital, and enough wire to wire 2 speakers, less than one metre from the amp   YKYAAW you pause "Apache" on your brand...

Audeze LCD-2s. On my head. Right now. 

I've spent the last few weeks trying to cut through the mountains and mountains of "information" regarding analogue RCA interconnect cables. To the point i've been accused of overthinking cables. What i want is to get that sweet spot between cost and performance. As far as i can tell, impedance...

In no particular order: Aune X1s - not even here yet but bought it just before new years Topping TP-60 speaker amp  Audeze LCD-2 - ordered 03/01/16 but close enough, made the decision in 2015 just had to wait for funds   Having in mind the only other audio purchases 2015 have been materials...

YKYAAW you have to repeatedly tell yourself that this will be your one pair of good headphones

Just an update:-   Ended up buying the Aune X1s today after researching the Audio-GD products and liking them but the value of the Aune swung things in its favour - Read: I had the money to order the X1s today whereas buying the NFB 11.32 would have required waiting until next payday. Now...

Ooh, i like the look of that. It does what i need and nothing more. I've had a *very* brief look at a thread about them and someone said "The 11.32/Sabre DAC is supposedly uber-detailed, more neutral but perhaps a little bright" Which sounds more like what i usually go for. Thanks! i'll be doing...

I've been looking for some time at reviews of many products, and i'm just getting more and more lost as every review even for very expensive stuff always has something negative said about it. Whatever i end up with will almost certainly sound orders of magnitude better than anything i've had...

For me in the UK in 2015 it's quite a bit cheaper to get the o2+odac. The Modi Uber does tempt because i sure could use the extra inputs, but i'd also want a 2nd pair of RCA outs on the Modi, the O2+ODAC combo is available with RCA out as well as 6.3mm.   Not seen a modi opened up to see if...

:D Yes, i'm calling the speed control 'pitch' as it's what rockbox calls it.   Just read up a bit on PRaT. That makes a lot of sense particularly when i say that i've always preferred lively, fun gear   Just checking i wasn't doing something 'wrong'.  On balance, i think i'll leave it...

New PC - well, i've been building it over time   MB: Asus Maximus V Gene CPU: Intel I5 3570k RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 2133mhz C9 16gb soon to be 32. PSU: Seasonic SS-660-XP2 HSF: Noctua D14 SE2011 with lga1155 bracket - this version of the D14 comes with PWM fans. HDD: WD SE 4tb enterprise...

Is it me?   Everything seems to sound.. better.. can't really define it other than everything sounds.. more like what i'm used to..   Seems to be a higher number than the oft-mentioned clip+ slow pitch thing   This is admittedly the best portable source i've ever had, my only dap since the...

Well it showed up just now, listening to a few tunes while it has its first charge via a mains adaptor Going to try and give an unbiased opinion.. shouldn't be too hard as this is my first quality portable of the modern era - i spent £185 on a 128mb creative muvo (tiny AAA powered thing) back...

Well, the clip isn't here yet, but in preparation for it i just did the cotton wool sheet in the cups mod.. not night and day but a surprisingly big improvement.. i was impressed before... these kill my mx-880s and lowish end sonys.. not really a fair comparison though Thank you Head-Fi for...

Well, i did a little research and seems the clip will be meaty enough to use the 63? ohm HAS-160 flats. Seeing as some people have got 64gb microsd cards working, and i'm after better sound quality and an EQ, settings etc i bought a Clip+ 4gb, silicon case. Will put my spare 64gb uSD in it...

Just bought some JVC flats - weeping for the years i spent on IEMs in the same price bracket :D Anyway, i've been using nokia 101 and Asha 201 most recently as portable sources and I'm feeling the need for something better again Does the sansa clip+ go well with the flats? I don't have any...

Has anyone taken these fully apart? I'd love to see some internal pics/measurements/etc as these look like pretty good cases for a custom IEM - driver swap, recable, sort out the nozzle foam, perhaps try and remove the boominess - one of the reviews on DX says that if you cover the 7 holes in...

Necrothread but i'd like to know the above too - are the solder points for the cable accessible? I ask because i'm thinking about getting a pair of these with the specific intention of frankenphoning them.. Recable, but also conversion to 4 pole so a mobile phone headset clip can be integrated...

It's a voyage of discovery for me.. I'm at the starting out stage where i've only just been introduced to decentish head/earphones.. but i've done the 'ophile thing with other things so i'm experienced with that.. And i've never experienced a dedicated headphone amp.   I tend to upgrade the...
