Hi Everyone, So I have been trying to talk up interest for this in the DX90 thread, but I believe this has way more interest out in the wide world of head-fi than the DX90 thread can give. Here's the basic idea: (image from iBasso's site) The DX90 is a Dual-DAC ES9018K2M player with a...

Hi Everybody!   So I just got into the high-octane world of balanced audio. The m80 is by and large my favorite on-ear. I want to know if anyone on the forums has the nads to help me out with trying to mod these to take balanced input or if perhaps someone has information on someone who has...

What Up College Head-Fiers?   So, I've been wanting to know where the audiophiles in the UCLA community are hiding. I've only met ONE other audiophile myself, but I'd like to play host to a little mini meet. I am an RA in Delta Terrace, so I have access to our lounge as well as my room...

Anyone got a comparison? Anyone heard both of these? Any info would help. Kojaku

I'm a huge fan of funk, jazz, classical, and R&B. I have a bit of an issue in that both of these headphones are claimed to be great for HALF of my music preferences... HE-500 for classical and jazz LCD-2 Rev. 2 for funk and R&B I'm leaning toward the LCD-2 because I've always been a warm...

Just so everyone is aware, I'll start posting my in-depth review on here, piece by piece. The gear and tracks used for this evaluation were:   Source: FiiO E10 Amp: TTVJ Slim Reference Tracks: ALACs: - Drunk On Love by Basia (Bass impact test)             - Yearning by Basia...

Hey Head-Fiers,     Just wanted to put my quick two cents in about the Smeggy Thunderpants TP1.   In all honesty, the sounds is world-class.   I have heard pretty much every popular low to mid-fi to lower hi-fi headphone all the way up to scaled HD 650 rigs.   As far as...

Just picked one up for 202.50 from tigerdirect unopened today. Anyone know if you can use a portable DAC with this bad boy? I hear the internal DAC is pretty boss already (as long as you turn off beats audio), but I'm just curious.   Kojaku

Dear Industry, I am a budget-conscious student audiophile. If any of you decide to make a sub-200 iDevice DAC, we here at head-fi would (if it were any good) buy the **** out of it. Make it happen. All the best, Kojaku...

I'm in the market for a warm, controlled, yet punchy bass, sub $100 portable amp/DAC. I don't really care much for massive soundstage or neutrality, as long as I don't lose crispness and detail or get muddy down low. Any suggestions? Kojaku

Thinkin' of doing a cherry (or walnut) Jmoney mod to my sr225i's. Does anyone know what effect these particular cups have on sound? I'd like to know before I order. Thanks, Kojaku

Hey guys,   Just got my account after hearing of all the wonderful people here and I was curious if anyone could help me with some mods I'm hoping to do for my SR225i's. I already sliced up some bowls and did a sock mod. I found the bass to be tight (as expected from any Grados), but I...
