Hey ho,   Anyone heard this new beast?          Full specs: https://mytekdigital.com/hifi/products/manhattan2/   It has a lot going for it, especially with the Femto clock. Less than 1pS jitter. Network card for Roon integration is a huge bonus.   Price is $6K, the wifi/network...

Yo!   I've been out the loop this year and so much has happened I'm finding it hard to catch up. The threads are huge, with a metric ton of products and opinions. Has there been a newcomer—a clear winner—on the block for bang-for-buck USB to S/PDIF conversion?    XMOS XU208 seems to get some...

Ello ello.   Getting into audio production and would appreciate some advice on the best neutral setup.   Currently thinking...   DAC: Yggdrasil   Cans: LCD-X   Amp: Phonitor 2   Any suggestions/comments?   Edit: AKG K-812 also on the radar!

Anyone use/used this cable?     Tempted to build some DIY power cables with it...

Anyone who enjoyed/enjoys dance/euphoric/electronica and strings/brass, this is a must see.   How I wish I was there to hear it live.   BBC iPlayer   http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b063s4gx/bbc-proms-2015-season-radio-1-ibiza-prom     Enjoy :¬)

I'd be interested to hear opinions on expensive audio racks for headphone equipment, specifically from those with actual experience.   They make perfect sense for speakers, disk spinners, and perhaps tubes, but solid state? I'm not convinced that day-to-day vibrations can effect electrical...

Ello :¬)   Currently using Burson Conductor (with iFi iPower and VLINK 192) and LCD-2s.   I love these cans, but would also appreciate a wider soundstage and a bit more accuracy (while keeping the smoothness).   The Hugo and the LCD3's are only £200 apart in price, which do you think would...

Hello versed IEM folk :¬)   I'm about to plunge into the CIEM world and thought I'd go the full distance and only buy one set (the poor man pays twice (at least), as they say).   Being a fan of musicality over the analytical, hence owning and loving LCD-2s, which CIEM would you propose?  ...

Any recommendations?   Cans: LCD-2.2 Speakers: KEF LS50   I have a Burson Conductor + Timekeeper, but looking for potential alternatives :¬)

The iPhone 5s has been out a while now - are there any particular IEM's that have nice synergy with the 5s?   I prefer musicality over analytical sound :¬)   Any pointers would be much appreciated, I'm a bit lost after spending a long time searching!

Anyone managed to do a direct comparison, or had experience of both?   Very pleased with the Icon HDP + 650 combo (equally as good as the Rega DAC & M-Stage combo, for a lot less), and the LCD-2 loaners should be with me soon. I've read they are 650s on steroids so it's hard to imagine...

Please delete, choice made :¬)

In the UK, the HDP is £300. The 160D, £800 (if the store is even legit, if not, £995).   I was close to pulling the trigger on the 160D earlier today, until I accidentally stumbled upon the HDP. It gets incredible reviews all over the net, from both experienced enthusiasts and industry...
