I am definately going to make my critical listening setup all computer based. My files are mainly lossless out of itunes w/o any enhancer, eq, etc. I want to stream the music through Wi-Fi using the airport express. If I use the optical out will I get a bit perfect output? I will be hooking it...

Must ......audition k701 and......hd650........must........!!! im going to go crazy trying to pick either one without an audition. Buying both and returning is not financially possible (I'm already stretched thin after my MicroDAC purchace).

I have the AKG K240monitors and want to know if anyone can give me the differences/similarities that they have to the AKG K701. I am also curoius about the HD650. I listened to the Senn Gaming 'phone (PC150) and like the overall sound (minus what I think might be the veil which seems less lively...

Can anyone comment on the difference between the sound of the 2006 BH/AH and the Hornet? SQ differences? Imaging, bass, etc? I want a portable amp to complement my new transportable micro. Curious as to what the major differences in sq and presentaion are. Mainly going to be used with IEM. I am...

I just got my brand new Micro w/DM from Headroom! I was SOOOO happy! The packaging and care taken in shipping alone really appealed to me. It has the new 2006 module and I'm excited. I have burned it in (supposedly) for the day while I was out and am enjoying it now. Impressions: Well...

Any diff between the SONY D-NE20 and D-NE920 when used via optical out? Whats the difference between them anyways, and why is the NE20 more expensive? Any diff between the NE10 and NE900 in relation to each other or the NE20/NE920?

Anyone think that the PS3 will be a viable audio/videophile solution for Blu-Ray based entertainment? I mean, if I use HDMI, then the PS3 is used as a transport only, and thus it will be up to my VDAC and DAC to do all the bit-to-bit conversion right? I like the idea of a convergence device that...

My 100th post. YAY. actually this is 101. But whatever, I am cool

I have this question posted in another thread, but the thread has changd it's direction from it's original title. Here it is: cool, thanks for all the replies. That said, any opinions on the comparison/difference betweent the NEW bithead and the microstack? I am guessing that the Microstack...

http://cgi.ebay.com/cMoy-Headphone-A...QQcmdZViewItem what do you guys think? Uses BB2134PA, like the airhead. Anyone think that it will give the airhead a run for it's money??

I have read all about the speaker cable debate. But what about RCA cables? Shorter the better. Ok. But what about sheilding. I hear that excesive sheilding can actually add ground loop. I have been researching, and am not sure about all this...so dont kill me. I haave come to the conclusion that...

Have any of you guys found a difference between cheapo mini to mini and the good ones? I have a rnb, and the pocket dock, and I havent found too much diff in audio quality. the rnb does seem a bit faster with the highs, more sparkle if you will. But it's so slight, that it could be my brain...

I am loking at XIN's Supermini. Are the altoid CMOY anywhere close in sound quality to the supermini? I need an amp that it ULTRA portable so i can just attach it to the ipod and put it in my pocket. My SMac3 is small.....but not enough for just school use. any suggestions are cool. Im going on...

I have got a 60gb ipod vid. Any way to improve it as a source? What is the strength of the line out via lineout dock? it Doesn't have the juice to kick my big 'phones. Any pre-amp solutions without having to lug around a million pound machine? Anything like the red wine mod that is worth the...

Like the title? kinda rhymes, no? Nonetheless, I want to check out this whole tube thing. Not only do I want to show off my audiophileness, but I want to know what all the fuss is about with tubes. I have been using SS for a while, and like the ease of use and love the transparency and the...

if there is anyone who ownes or heard both, can someone please tell me of osme of the differences/similarities? also, are the 701 as hard to drive well? It's just that time of the month that i feel like speding more on headphones. I want to start a collection so I can really get to hear these...

NO not really! Im venting! I dont know if this goes in this forum or what but here it is. I got into headphone a year back b/c i like to listen to music. Ever since I wal like 6 i loved music. I played the oboe (shut u...its cool) now im learning the guitar and play some piano. Then I needed new...

I am looking to upgrade my amp. I have a Supermacro v6, and want to get an ultraportable amp for on the go (bithead, mini, etc.) and one for home listening that still allows for battery operated use (micro, desktop, sr-71, etc.) My largest concerns are: 1) Want a LARGE open soundstage w/...

I got some money to BURNN!!!! OK OK....here is the situation. I have my Supermacro, but am really looking at the larocco pocket reference 2. I really like the bass contour thingy. Anyone have one and like to comment? Because it has the bass ccountour knowb (up to 10db of boost!) I ws...

I was looking around, and saw the FutureSonic Ear Monitors. They say that they offer better sound (supposedly) thanthe two and three driver dynamic 'phones. They offer custom models starting at $598. I was doing some research, and it looks like they use some different technology (not dynamic...

I was using my ipod video and decided to do some blind test between the headphone jack and my Supermacro v6 (stock config). I didnt notice alot of diff. I used the UM2 ad E4c. There was a slight difference, but not a 350 dollar diff. To me the soundstage and air was the biiggest diff. All files...

I have recieved the Westone UM2 and love the confort, but the sound is off. I have posted in the amp section: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=149827 I am not sure whether this is a headphone or amp issue....so sorry for double posting. Thanks Neil

HELP!!!! I have a bit of a problem when using my new Westone UM2 with my supermacro. I usually use the impedence switch with my Shure E4c, the hiss is taken away and The sound character does not change too much. However, with my UM2, I get considerable hiss when they are plugged in and once the...

I found this not too long ago: http://www.firestone-audio.com/cgi-b...asp?pdtseqnm=2 I found it from the link on this site. Seems to be a really good DAC via USB cable. It even works on the Xin philosophy of interchangable parts. Anyone have any ideas or experience with the fireston...
