Record Players
Hi guys, Up till now, I've only been concerned with digital audio - headphones, amps, DACs, etc. But recently I've been getting into digital rips of vinyls, such as Dr. Robert's Beatles rips, and the sound difference is substantial. The vinyl sounds much warmer and full. I had always wanted...- akong

Is the odac+o2 combo portable?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find a straight answer anywhere. Does the odac+o2 DAC/amp combo run off batteries, which means I can take it with me on the go and use it with my phone, or does it require an AC power source? Also, how big is it? Will I be able to...- akong

Portable Tube Amps
Hi guys, I only have a portable rig right now, and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. I currently amp my headphones through an iBasso D-Zero. It works well, but I'd like to upgrade to better sound. I've never had a "proper" high-end amp before, so I'd like to see what I'm...- akong

Help?
Hi guys, So I've narrowed down my next set of cans to either the Denon D2000 or the Hifiman HE-400. Heard great things about both, but I'm honestly stuck. They both have their own great traits, and I just can't decide. I'll be amping them out of an iBasso D-Zero. Can some owners or...- akong

Decisions, decisions...
Hi guys, So I'm treating myself for my birthday with a new pair of headphones. I listen to rock, alternative, and acoustic. I have rock and alternative pretty well covered with my V-Moda M80s and Grado 225i, so I'm looking for something that does acoustic very well, but preferably not at...- akong

Looking to move on from my Grados.
Hey guys. So about a year ago, I made my first foray into the land of quality headphones with the Grado 225is. They sound great, but I've been looking to experiment more. I listen to only rock; I wouldn't consider myself a basshead, but I do love my bass, which was one of my problems with the...- akong

Does the Total Airhead work on Android?
Hey guys. I've been thinking about getting the total airhead dac/amp, but I don't know if the dac, the part that i actually need, works on portable devices. I know it says "portable" amp, but I've read articles that say that the dac only works through USB, which my android phone doesnt have? So...- akong

Help on deciding on headphones?
Hey guys. I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene. I purchased my first pair of high-end headphones about 8 months ago- they were the Grado 225is. They sound great, but I think its time to explore a little more. I listen exclusively to rock music, so keep that in mind. I'm deciding between the...- akong

Replacing the headband on the Grado225is?
Hey guys! I've had my Grado's for a while now, and I have to say, they're pretty fricking awesome. Excuse my lack of eloquence, but that's all I have to say about them. Anyway, I've replaced the earpads already, making it a lot more comfortable. However, the head band is still pretty stiff and...- akong

1/4mm input portable headphone amp?
Hey guys. I'm looking for a portable headphone amp to use with my new Grado 225is. However, all the amps I've looked at so far have a 1/8mm input, which won't work, as the 225is have a 1/4mm jack. The amp must be under $100. Thanks!- akong

Is there any way to change mp3s into FLAC, AAC, etc?
hey guys. So I've been reading around the Internet, and apparently, mp3s suck. Now that I've got a amp and some killer headphones, I want to make sure I'm getting the absolute best sound quality possible. So my question is, is there any way to convert 320 Kbps mp3s into FLAC or AAC, or...- akong

I'm new at this.
Hey guys. So, I've recently purchased my first pair of headphones, the Sennheiser 438s. They sound great, but I've read a few things about " burning in". What does this mean, and how does it affect the sound? Also, what's a headphone amp? Thanks.- akong

Which Sennheisers?
Hey guys. So I've been looking to buy some better headphones, and have heard some good things about Sennheisers.
