I don't want to clutter the main thread any more than I already have and feel as though this issue deserves its own thread anyway. I've read reports of at least 4 users who have had the same issue with the 3.5 mm cable, specifically the left one, losing the metal shroud/sleeve around the MMCX...

Source: Tidal Hifi and Flac when available from my iMac running Roon. Headphones: (for now) Ananda and LCD-2 Classic Music type: pretty wide variety but mostly singer-songwriter, Radiohead and The National-type rock, female vocal like Lorde/Lana/Tori Amos, and hip hop. Pretty much everything...

Since I'm working from home for the foreseeable future (like many of you), I decided to devote a bit more to a computer audio setup. I've got a 2020 iMac with a bazillion gigs of storage available and nice secondary 27" monitor. I'm trialing Roon right now (it seems great but I'm just not sure I...

This isn’t purchasing advice, per se, but a thread where I hope to collect people’s experiences with using a portable DAC/amp with iOS devices. I’ve personally tried 2: the Chord Mojo and the Oppo HA-2SE The Mojo Pros: works well, sounds good and looks fantastic. It’s, as many have stated, a...

I am currently revamping my audio gear to move from a soundbar 5.1 system to something better. My room is fairly small - something like 15' x 13' or so. My plan is to provide audio to both tv/movie/gaming and music. I've got a Debut Carbon turntable, AppleTV 4th gen, PS4 and Nintendo Switch...

I bought a pair of SR80's used that need a recabling job. The plug has come off and I'd like it shortened a couple of feet. Is it a hard DIY job? I don't know how to solder but I'm not averse to learning. Would it just be easier to take it to someone?   edit: I suppose I could shorten the...

I started out my search thinking I'd want some closed cans for use around the house but the more I read, the more I realized that I was really limiting my options given my limited budget and the audio source I'd be using - about $200 and my iPhone (audio encoded as either ALC or 256k AAC). So I...
