Im reading post from posters commenting on HD800's that they have had for months with SN#s in the 15xxx+ range.   Less then 2 weeks ago I bought directly from AMAZON a pair  with a SN of 13xxx.   Should I be concerned about not receiving a brand new pair of headphone's?   I did pay...

Quote: I got a new pair of HD800 last week and my SN is lower then yours. Mine is 13xxx and yours is 15xxx   Did Senn send me a used pair of 800's or something?  

After a night sleeping on it I think its the sound signature of the HD800's   Its too airy in the high's.   What im saying is I have to turn the volume up so high to get the mids and lower levels up to where I want to listen.   But when I do that it brightens up the high almost to...

Quote: that bitfrost you have probably makes a huge difference.   If you dont mind doing me a favor.   Could you briefly remove the bitfrost from your setup go directly from computer to LYR and put the HD 800's at 3 o clock and tell me what you think.   If you are too busy...

Quote: Remember I have no external DAC.   I was told with a good DAC I could put it at 11oclock and get the same volume.  

Quote: It runs warm not hot.   I can put my hand over the unit for an hour without it being uncomfortable.    

Quote: The main question is does this potentially damage the HD800's   The owner of the company told me I was fine and im not doing anything that will cause damage.   The volume at 3 o clock is about the same level as IPOD earbuds at 75% on an iphone.   As a matter of fact...

Quote: Well you have to consider I am not setup properly yet.     My 3 o clock may be your 11 o clock.   If my output to the AMP is only 1 volt and yours is 2 volts.   Thats what Jason Stoddard told me.      

Quote: What did you say?  

Just talked to Mr Stoddard.   He told me that since I dont have an external DAC im fine. The MBP only puts out 1v of power and most external DAC's put out at least 2 according to him.   I guess I should have asked him first come to think of it.   Well if thats the case I highly...

Just got my start up setup today.  So far it consist of MBP to LYR to HD800's. No special cables yet.   Sounds great considering the fact I dont have a DAC and AMP that will be my permanent setup yet.   All I have been hearing about for months on this forum is how powerful the LYR is...

Just got the app and im not sure which setting I should use.   I have my whole collection burned in Apple Lossless format. Im using a MAC computer   All I care about is bit perfect and correctly sending the correct sample to my DAC.   I have also heard from posters you can put your...

I can sell you my month old FILO E7 for $40 bucks if you want. I used it a grand total of 1 hour. It still has the original charge and all packing etc..   Just bought an LYR desktop

Im seeing box sets of CD's for singers and bands on the internet that is about 70 to 90% off the regular price that you get in an American store.   For instance I found a box set of CCR which has every song they ever recorded for only 41 bucks?   So I have 2 questions.   1) is this...

Can I get that at best buy?   I really want to sample this now. LOL   I know this will be a stripped down setup for a while till I get my DAC and LF but it will do for now I hope.

I just got my LYR today.   Still waiting on my LF but going to use this with Senn800 for a few weeks till I get my LF.   Im also ordering a W4S DAC which I dont have yet.   My question is I cant figure out how to connect my LYR directly to my Macbook pro.   On the back of the LYR...

Quote: Just read the entire thread for the W4S from beginning to end. Getting close to pulling the trigger on that. Thanks for the heads up.     And thanks everyone in this thread. I research every single suggestion in this thread and have learned a lot.  

I have a pair of LCD'3 and love it.   I ordered a LF. Have not heard it yet. I am using an LYR right now.       My question is this?   My ultimate rig one day will be LCD'3 and HD800   2 headphones and 2 amps.   LF and DS(in the future)   Im trying to get by with...

Quote: Thanks. I still dont understand how it takes a rip and improves it with just computer code.   But I will certainly look more into this. Im just a few pages through that huge thread about the Amarra.

Quote: So basically what you are saying is I would use the DAC you linked as sort of an adapter to another DAC to COAX? Would this make the signal going into my main DAC better?

Quote: I just started looking into Amarra AND based on a thread on here some people swear by it. I really dont understand what it does. Would I need to re-rip my music through Amarra to get the benefits?  

Quote: So you are saying I need that EBAY item an addition to a DAC?

Quote: finally an answer that does not cost me 4 figures. Thanks. Now I can shop for my DAC. I do have a cheep one, but wanted to make sure before getting  good one.
