    Reply to review by 'coltello' on item 'AUDIO TECHNICA ATH PRO700 mk2'

    I've been looking to use my own male to male 3.5mm audio cables but haven't had much luck with the fitting. Would love to find a "3.5mm-threaded-male to 3.5mm-female connector", or anything else that works, soon I'll be pulling out the dremel tool and doing a full mod if I am left with no other...

    Looking for feedback/critiscism on my new Audio Cable DIY Project Choices

    Those were some fantastic suggestions. I definitely had overlooked the helpful tools to couple with a solder kit. As for an X-acto knife I realized how much I agree since I find myself using a simple knife to remove sheathing when I build cat5 and 4-wire cables at work. I always viewed it as a...

    Looking for feedback/critiscism on my new Audio Cable DIY Project Choices

    I've been wanting to start performing DIY projects as a hobbie for years, and after several months of delaying and deliberating I finally decided the best way for me to get my foot in the door is to build some interconnects and try a recable or two on some old headphones I have collecting dust...

    Headphone DACS for price point

    Quote:   Yeah it was wishful thinking, but I'm just going to skip all the confusing technicals here and just go for what should hit the headphones the best.

    Headphone DACS for price point

    I've looked up the specifications for my soundcard and it doesn't support that high of a sampling rate, so I've dropped the idea - for now.

    Headphone DACS for price point

    Thanks, is it safe to assume that the Music Streamer is the best transparent option I can get, or is there a different DAC I've completely overlooked?

    Headphone DACS for price point

    Hey thanks, You brought up some great points and I looked into answering your questions and think I've answered my own concerns. If it's true that the Music Streamer is more transparent, I think that would be my greatest concern if they are near equal competitors in this price category.  ...

    Headphone DACS for price point

    I've been able to dig up one reply from someone who hasn't actually heard both here. I don't know how decisive an answer this could be when it comes to chips, but I will take it for what it's worth and avoid more threads. If anyone can delete this, please do since I can't figure out how.

    Headphone DACS for price point

    I've tried finding the proper comparison of the two, but I can't seem to find a decisive answer. Which will work better for a desktop DAC at the 100-200$ price point. I've been looking at the HRT Music Streamer II and the FIIO E17. If I am able to use the SPDIF capabilities of my PC, the...

    Best Headphone DAC to replace or add to my set-up?
