Ok that I understand haha

JRiver is a high quality playback program, superior to iTunes even by my own ears, I have tried Foobar, I found it to be uninspiring and un-intuitive, I feel if I was a open source Linux type guy I would have liked it more. I payed real money for JRiver 😆😉. I have payed for every other part of...

That all sounds risky, and probably a little over my head haha 😅

Electrical power like you mean a power conditioner? Wow I am starting to realize how little I know, no idea what a usb reclocker/regenerator is or what a DDC is, I’ll have to look that stuff up and do some research. Thanks very much!

Thanks a lot for your thoughts, that sounds worth the money. I will definitely look into it.

Do you mind giving me a brief summary of why that is better then a laptop, i’m not quizzing you I’m just curious. Also is it impacting my sound quality that my entire music library is stored on an external HDD instead of SDD?

I am thinking about upgrading something in my system and I don't know what to upgrade. This is my set up. Running Apple lossless files on JRiver Media Player 26 on my Lenovo laptop, going out USB into my Schiit Byfrost DAC, then out with some blue Jean RCA cables into my Woo Audio WA6-SE, then...

Bump

The WA added low end punch eh? Very interesting, I am tossing and turning over and over between the Feliks Elise and the WA6-SE. They both seem really great, and work very great with the 800s'. Any experience with the Feliks?

I am curious as well

Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Hmm, interesting. Aside to the tube roll off (which I don't know too much about) why are you so convinced that the Elise is so much better?

Bump

Does anybody have any experience comparing the two amps. I am thinking in the the context of the HD800s personally but would be interested in any impressions. Can't find anything on this comparison on the internet let alone headfi. I am in the market for buying one or the other. i wonder if the...

Allow me to add my voice to this dreadful chorus of pissed off customers! Iam not at the 20 week mark and am soooooooo done with this crap! after being lied to several times about the completion date they do not deserve my business. If it took me another 2 months to get another company to do it...

am i the only person on this earth who loves what the 801 sounds like but wonders why the hell hifiman thinks its cool to just stop supporting it with any type of firmware updates at all, despite the fact that they made all these grand but totally empty promises about apple lossless support and...

Cool, I thought everybody on this thread was a rockbox advocate. I dont want to stir up any controversy but this post/thread was very enlightening as to the confusion behind 24bit audio. Its a good read, check it out.http://www.head-fi.org/t/415361/24bit-vs-16bit-the-myth-exploded I think it'd...

thank you. so iam not the only one with that brutal experience. it was so unpleasnt iam not willing to chance that happening again. iam done with rock box.

Dude i gave rock box a fare run. And i have to say i freakin hated it. Its great in theory but it had no usb compatibility, it was a absolute bitch to remove from my 801. It also made a super annoying sound when ever the LCD screen was lit...like a squealing drone sort of sound. Got my smart...

ya iam debating weather or not its even worth "upgrading" from my beautifuly sounding 801, with the infamous UI. iam very curious to hear that my 801 is more musical sounding than the new 901 which is more cold but accurate??? i havent herd it first hand so i cant make any judgment calls. i just...

does anyone know weather the hm-801 trade-in offer is an international offer or is that just restricted to china. Given the fat price tag on this amazing unit, the trade-in offer seems like the only way iam going to be able to afford this beauty. I'm so weary of deadlines. There is always a...

Well once the trade in offer reaches North America ill be happy, the way things have been going that could be another year! Lol what was the trade in offer again...was it a $400 credit with ur hm801?

So is the release date officially confirmed at March? Like for real this time? Because this wait is really starting to piss me off. I am sorry for my rage but its been forever, with little to no info/public relation. Its getting real old. Also i am really curious as to the trade in offer for the...

sorry if i missed this tid bit of info, as i was trying to find it in the thread. but is there a time cut off to be able to do this 801 trade in thing. because i dont have the $400 now lol. but i will come march ish. am i screwed? any other restrictions i should know about?   thank you

you'd think that, audiologists would ask you some more questions, like are you a singer? are these going to just be fore pleasure? do you listen to music with your frickin mouth gaping?!?! lmao you know, to help them determin what size bite block to give you.   i didnt even know there was a...
