    DAPs with USB Digital output

    I'm looking for an alternative to using my computer as source to feed FLAC encoded files to USB DACs like Chord Hugo/Mojo. Are there any DAPs (with a dock, if necessary) that will outperform a general purpose laptop when operating as source for USB DACs? I've heard that the higher end Sony...

    Is a new ear impression required for every custom IEM I buy?

    This is an issue that puzzles me.   I bought a JH13 Pro from JH Audio in 2009. When I called JH Audio a couple of years later to order a JH16, I was surprised to learn that though they had my ear impressions from my previous order, I'll have to send them a new set of impressions. When I asked...

    Difference betwen SRM-323A and SRM-323S

    I am a little confused about the SRM-323 - joynetmall.com has the models SRM-323A and SRM-323S, but other than a small difference in price, is there anything that separates the two? I

    Peachtree iNova or iDecco as headphone amp

    I have come across a few reviews of these amps, but almost none of them seem to discuss their performance as  headphone amps. Has anyone tried them with Audeze LCD-2?

    Opinions on Isabellina DAC/HPA sought

    I am looking for a good headphone amplifier that can drive Senn HD 800, Audeze LCD-2, Denon D5000, JHA Pro 13 (and possibly Grado PS1000/GS1000/RS1) with ease to satisfying listening levels. I have a couple of decent DACs (Anedio D1 and Eastern Electric DAC), so a good DAC is an added bonus, but...

    Amphora charger

    I'd gotten a bunch of AC adapters mixed up during a home improvement project and I'm now trying to locate the one used for charging the battery on my Amphora. I've narrowed the possibilities down to two, with output voltages of 8.4V and 12V. Can someone with an Amphora let me know what the spec...

    Where to buy UM56?

    I'd like to get a pair for UM56 for my Westone 3s but am a little confused about where to get them from. I already have a set of impressions, so I'd like to avoid having to go to another audiologist to order the UM56s. Searching the web, I found that I can order them through 'EarphoneSolutions'...

    Underwhelmed by HD800 - need amp suggestions

    I got an HD800 last week after reading all the great reviews it has gotten so far. Right out of the box, I found its sound very disappointing - harsh, sibilant and closed in. So I let it burn in over the weekend, and though the sound has opened up considerably, I still find it somewhat harsh and...

    Westone ES3X questions

    Does anyone know of a good audiologist/westone dealer in the SF Bay Area? I've been calling the audiologists listed on Westone's website, but most of them seem to have moved or do not deal with Westone anymore. As a somewhat related question, I was wondering if Westone 3 + RSA Mustang will...

    Battery for RSA Hornet

    Does the choice of battery for RSA Hornet make a difference? I've been using it with the battery it came with, and though I'm generally happy with it, I was wondering if using a different battery can make a difference to the sound.

    Newbie looking for info and advice

    I'm a relative newbie to headphone listening and find the information on this site a little overwhelming as I try to decide how to upgrade my current setup. My first pair of serious headphones were a pair of Stax Lambda Pro/SRM1-Mk2 (acquired circa 1986-87) that have seen very little use in...
