    HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions

    Got mine on Saturday and neither of the unbalanced ports work. It also reboots itself when I insert an SD card, and shows no card if I put it in first and then turn it on. Did factory reset, tried multiple cables/headphones and two SD cards. Build number 1.19G. Thankfully I bought it locally and...

    Problems with Hlly?

    I just bought an amp from hlly_headphone on eBay. No problems whatsoever with my purchase. Maybe eBay orders are treated with more care?

    Can someone help me with Itunes integrating with Apple TV?

    This might also help - one of the listed symptoms is an inability to use Home Sharing.

    Can someone help me with Itunes integrating with Apple TV?

    Could be iTunes doesn't like the security setting on your router. See the bottom of the thread here.   Is your iTunes the latest version? Router firmware up to date? If you make a wired connection does it work? Are you signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices?

    Peachtree - Anyone using Peachtree for headphone DAC/Amp LCD-2

    Peachtree iDac owner here. Just got it, and so far sounding great going through a GS-1 with ATH-W11R and HD 650. The iDac doesn't include an amp, but I already have a few of those and the Nova and Decco2 were just too big for my desk. I'm still playing around with the settings but certainly like...

    MAC: Audio MIDI Setup for 24-bit 96/192KHz files

    Can one even select 24/192 in audio midi setup for the built-in digital output? I don't have anything hooked up to mine right now, and it shows 24/96 max.

    Setting Up Your Tube Amp ....

    And another question, if you all don't mind. I just got a Cayin HA-1A amp today (merry Christmas, indeed!) and I'm wondering if I need to turn it off when I change headphones. On the one hand, you're meant to keep a constant load, but on the other, you're not meant to keep turning the amp on and...

    Audio Technica Amps: diff between AT-HA20 and AT-HA25D

    Which tips with your E500's? POLL

    Since getting the E500s sometime in August, I hadn't been totally happy with them fit-wise, after trying just about every tip included with them. The small soft sleeves were too small, the large ones way too large, and the medium ones just seemed to work themselves loose in my ears after a...

    Received my Cayin HA-1A - initial impressions

    Asr, thanks for the impressions. I have the HD650, and maybe it's just me, but I've yet to hear this "veil" everyone is talking about, or if I do hear it I certainly don't find it objectionable. That's with a GS-1, BTW. But I've really been wanting to try some tubey goodness, and the Cayin seems...

    Received my Cayin HA-1A - initial impressions

    Congratulations on your amp purchase - it sounds great. Any impressions from your Senn 600? This amp is available in Japan for about 46,000 right now, which seems like a steal of a deal to me. However, it's 100V. Does anyone know if using a transformer would degrade the sound significantly? I...

    Wow! Sennheiser HD-650 with aftermarket replacement cables!

    Man, with all the spelling it out for people and painting by numbers and asking if they can count...there's some underhanded insults going around, huh? Mind those stern warnings, J-Pak!

    I have the pillow with the neck support, and find that it makes me drool in my sleep. I'll wake up in the middle of the night with a big wet spot under my mouth. I think the pillow is a little too firm and the way I lie (on my side, obviously) it pushes up on my cheek and causes my mouth to...

    What if there were no 'Ignore' list?

    I don't actually use the ignore function. Sure, there are people whose questions I tend to ignore, but I can usually tell by the question/initial post that I have no interest in it. I'm not really one to block out everything said by a particular person, and besides, how does it work if someone...

    New Innards For HeadRoom Amps

    Did someone say threadcrapping? Apologies that my question isn't module or comic-related, but it is HeadRoom related, so: any word on the Micro Switch? Now to get back on topic, I'm off to the HeadRoom site to look at all the stuff I've just been reading about. Thanks!
