my listening experience hasn't been fatiguing either, even after several hours of wearing them.  i have a "modest" audio chain listed in my signature, maybe it's the tube in my schiit rounding out the sibilance.

just recently picked up some sennheiser HD800s, serial #25207. while the treble can be a bit much sometimes -- definitely not my go to headphones for EDM --  I haven't experienced the sibilance that everyone speaks about it, even in EDM.  im mesmerized by the imaging capability.

Quote:   we want this support in CM10 and AOKP so that CM10/AOKP compatible devices (most of them!) are capable of using USB audio.  On the Samsung Galaxy S III USB AUO is only supported on the stock ROM/kernel.

hey guys, support this bounty to have USB audio added to CM10 or AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930664 ... you don't need to add $, just show your interest! if we can show that a large group of people are dying for this feature it will more likely be added.

hey guys, just thought i'd post this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930664   it's a bounty attempting to sway a developer to introduce the USB audio (external DAC support) feature on AOKP or CM10.  so far we've raised the bounty to a bit under $600.      ...

If I run a Galaxy S III with custom ROM and kernel, will it support an ODAC/02 combo or even an E7?

I've contacted them through their support terminal, thanks for the reassurance on my time without them!  

I've owned my Audeze LCD 2 rev.2s for around six months now, and just recently the left ear has begun to create a sort of scratchy noise at certain frequencies and just feels to under perform in comparison to the right ear.  i have confirmed that this issue is not with the source or amplifier...

Could you post links to these DSPs?  I only have the dolby headphone wrapper.

why wouldn't they just the apple lossless audio codec? (ALAC)... seems like the obvious answer.  

at the price point of the RWA you might want to get something like that cavalli liquid fire, which is much more highly rated with the LCD-2s than the RWA amplifer, and then buy a seperate DAC.  that said, if you're new to head-fi are you sure you want to throw down 4k on your first gear?  you...

it's excellent, better than broke boy soldiers i think.  both are great though, im a big fan of jack white.   Quote:  

not as comfortable as the sennheisers, the velour padding is soft but they have more clamp and are considerably heavier.  especially the HE-400 with it's planar magnetic drivers.   Quote:    

i'd recommend purchasing a used cambridge audio DacMagic.  I've compared it side by side to a lot of higher end dacs, and it stacks up really well.  they can be purchased for ~350 used, which is a middle ground in your pricing too.

the raconteurs - broken boy soldiers the raconteurs - consolers of the lonely johnny cash - american v: a hundred highways porcupine tree - stupid dream yo yo ma, stuart duncan, edgar meyer, & chris thile - the goat rodeo sessions <== can't recommend more highly

i think someone else said this earlier, but if you just don't think about the lag you'll never notice - it's only if you're looking for it that you'll notice, since it's most likely a very minute amount.   Quote:

@sniperczar, I'm using USB for my DAC as of right now.  No TosLink on my motherboard.  From what I understand, if I'm simply using the sound-card for DSP effects and then using optical out to feed digital music filter to my DacMagic I should take no performance hit. And even if I do notice some...

but is it really worth the effect? and do you think it would make any noticeable degradation in the signal chain? ... actually I might be able to use the soundcard for gaming, and switch inputs to USB on my DAC for music if windows 7 supports multiple digital sound outputs at a single time.  I...

could you post pictures of what happened exactly, the wood just cracked?   Quote:  

the girl from company of thieves is pretty good, but it isn't exactly audiophile level recording quality. 

my favorite album of his is Mir, it's a bit more dubstep influenced but i think it's wonderful.  it's like dubstep but without the rough edges, and a much smoother sound.  "One Day I Wish To Have This Kind Of Time" is wonderful.   Quote:
