We have a different creature with enormous workmanship now. The brand Acoustic Efect is a local Japanese brand. ac-ef.jp is their website. But seems like they want to extend their reach. So I just met with it via their review sample of their entry level model TRY-01. First impressions ⬇Timbre is...

I must upgrade my es100. Disclaimer: Tamirci does not use headphones. His focus is on iems. And he has a review site So listening and reviewing iems is like a job for him. 1)Considering the budget is around fiio q5s or xduoo xd05 which one you'd pick and why? 2) Can fiio btr5 be an enough...

I am fond of mid segment of the FR graph. A mid lover. And soundstage is what I look for. Bass and treble should be just as necessary. I am in between Moondrop Kxxs and ikko Oh1. Which would you recommend to a mid / neutral fan? Budget: 200$

I have a NUC player as the source http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/overview.html  And Daphile is installed as an operating system. It is connected with rca to mini (%100 silver) cable to my tiny amp topping tp22 and it powers Micca mb42 speakers.       Before NUC I used raspberry...

Hello guys. I am looking a cheap, cheapest dap for my amping project.  My rules are simple: it has to contain line out and it better be cheaper than 100 bucks.   Thanks for any help.

Ten years ago I was diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis and now I can't move around as agile I was 10 years before. So I left all the mobile stuff, save my MBA, behind. Therefore my listening rig does mainly consists of "desktop equipment" (amp, dac and open headphone)   What are your experiences...

Upgraditis cought me and I am in the edge of pulling the trigger. I am using a Valhalla 2 and Hd650. What will Bifrost add on the V2 and hd650's sound?

I am looking for a DAC that fits or narrower than the amp (matrix m-stage) below (11mm)     RCA output must be in the rear as well as inputs and power are.   Thanks

I have a Matrix M-stage Amp and its input/output connections are displayed in the pic. below.     I want to attach a DAC to it. And I am really confused here as it has a selector "input 1 and input 2" thus it forces to to select either inputs.   The only viable way of using this amp with...

                                              Magnat, being a respectable hifi brand, had announced its headphone line with the codename LZR. LZR had taken the name from their laser design and related calculations. Whats more, they were designed by Pininfarina * Much more...

I was just about to buy Modi from Schiit but saw that they have v2 for usb. Do you think they'll release v2 of optical Modi?

Weird stuff going on.. After gently nodded by a mod, something had happened to my account's usage of used section. I am opening a classifed but 3 days countdown is frozen. Or things I set as my signature does not show up properly. Or 3 days bump doesn't work as intended, doesn't bump properly. ...

Kennerton Audio is a relatively unknown brand. But they had built this headphone with collaboration of Fischer Audio, famous Russian brand of many hand crafted phones. Kennerton is chosen to be the naming brand of FA's highest end products. Usage of bog wood is the thing that makes this...

Ending of the coiled part of a headphone cable is twisted as can be seen in the photo below. I really dont know how that became like this.   Guys how can I fix this?     

I have to reach out the rep. of Westone in the forum.    Anybody to help?

I had seen one at a headphone meet-up yestermonth but couldn't get the exact name.   It is a custom made cable, soft and supple, almost like shoe tie soft and supple.   What the name might be?    Tired of rigid custom cables and I think they might be worth a try.

Though I love that Ath im02 sound, I know I'll move to a better one in the future. How im02 sounds: Bright, clear, mid forward, spacious, fast and puchy, sufficent bass for even Dubstep on armatures. Source: dx50   Anything you can recommend?   Budget: 650 usd

I had purchased a heaphone from somebody here. He had sent it quickly and it arrived my country perfectly in time yeah. He had given me the tracking code. But now (without any formal letters or signs of calling to customs) its been stuck (for 10 days and counting) at the second stage of...

I'd like to thank Westone for the sample. I did my best to supply a neutral and comprehesive review as I could. Sorry for the lack in English competence as it ain't my natural language :)       Used Various dubstep songs, 24 bit vinyl rip flacs (Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Frank...

Assuming that their price were the same, which one is better in terms of comfort and sq? (Clarity, dynamics, stage width etc.) Reading about guys letting go their um3x for the sake of ba200 made me wonder..

My setup is PC > Musiland 01 (w/usb3) > M-Audio bx5d2 (w/hosa ordinary ts to rca)   Will a better Xlr to Rca cable or a better usb cable provide a difference worth the cost?   Thanks

I have came across two ads that sell their A7 and Rokit 5 for 500 usd (for the pair). I know this is over priced for other countries but in my country, a second hand r 5 for 500usd is the standart price. But second hand A 7 floats like 900 usd (they sell a7x for 1.522,20 €, guess the rest :)  ...
