The sound of these speakers at low to medium volume is excellent. I have my iPhone 5s (or iPod Touch 5th gen) connected to the USB input through the Apple CCK. It works fine once the connection is made, but it's tedious to connect.   If I want to connect, I need to power on the MM-1, power...

This isn't intended as a review, but as the start of an Objective 2 appreciation thread. I've had the Objective 2 + ODAC Combo for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. I may be late to the party, but I believe there are at least hundreds of other O2 owners out there that probably...

I just tried the HD800 and I love them! They sound great, very true, very detailed, great sound stage.   I was comparing them to the HD700 and in almost every case, I prefer the HD800. I was listening to DSOTM and when the bells started ringing on Time, some of those bells were really shrill...

I've been searching for a Mac music player that offers a crossfeed feature. I tried a bunch today, none of which had crossfeed -- at least that I could find. Then I got to Fidelia. Sound is great and so is the crossfeed. I was happy to see that the FHX processor was designed by Devin Kerr, one...

I bought the Sennheiser HD700 and I wasn't completely happy with it, though I was listening to it through the headphone jack of my receiver with unknown specs or quality. Based on reviews I decided to try the Grado RS1i. I like it a lot. Today I received the JDS Labs C5D and now the HD700 sounds...

I never thought I'd consider spending $1500 for headphones, but they're only one tenth the price of the Orpheus, right? I just don't know if I could still afford them if I need the matching amp for another $2,000. I have a decent receiver, an NAD T747, which is capable of driving 300 ohms...

I've got the Sennheiser HD598 which I modified to accept the Momentum iPhone cable. It still sounds great, but I don't know if there's a subtle loss of sound quality that I might notice with certain music. I think I notice a slight volume attenuation. The stock HD598 cable is much thicker than...

I've got a lot out of reading others' reviews and suggestions. Recently I spent a lot of time choosing portable headphones. I'm not an expert, but I have a lot of listening "experience" so I'm sharing my experience in case it might help others.   First, my definition of portable is being...

I have an Apple TV, which is very convenient for both music and video. I know the Olive is high end, but once they're connected to an amplifier, especially if using the digital output, is the Olive really better?   Are all digital outputs the same? Or do they support different bit depths...

I just bought an NAD T747 and I'm thrilled with the sound. I was actually worried it wouldn't match up to my C352, but I think it's actually a little better, both with speakers and headphones.   I've got an Apple TV and I was wondering which output would sound best, digital or analog...

Does anyone know where I can find a dock extension cable? I want to carry my iPod with the iSongBook, but I don't want the iPod to fall out. If I use their case and connect using the line-out connector, I'll lose the remote control of the iPod. So I'd like use their carrying case and connect the...

I read some discussions here about portable/desktop speakers for the iPod and thought I'd pay back with my own experience. I went shopping today and ended up with the Tivoli Model 2 with subwoofer. It is absolutely awesome! Some people had good things to say about the Klipsch iFi, but it doesn't...
