Hey everyone! I'm currently using the Massdrop Plus as my daily driver, and I do enjoy it a lot, but the upgrade itch has come back... I've always preferred a more neutral or mid focused sound. I also enjoy the clarity of the RE600, but that has since broken. I had a chance to try the CA Andros...

I recently purchased the Lenovo Ideapad 710s, and to my horror I discovered that the onboard audio is horrendous. I never realized DACs could make such an astounding difference but now I know otherwise. Bass sounds utterly bloated to the point where you can hear a distinct decrease of volume in...

With the near certainty that the upcoming iPhone 7 will not be carrying a headphone jack, I am on one hand mortified of upgrading, and on the other hand quietly satisfied that this motivates me to get a proper portable setup. I know that Apple plans on including a lightning to headphone jack...

My RE262s have snapped on both sides of the split and after stripping off the cable for one of the sides, I find myself in a hard spot. I have 2 copper lines coming out from each end, but neither is covered by its own wiring. I'm assuming they were separated within the cable I just stripped off...

It's been a worthwhile 3 or so years since I got my RE262s and their silky smooth midrange have really grown on me. Unfortunately, the cable running up to one of the drivers has literally snapped in half, and the other one is on the verge of snapping as well. So now I'm looking for a new pair of...

It's been 3 years since I bought my RE262s but they have since then physically degraded and practically snapped in half. I have been eying the RE600 which looks pretty attractive for its asking price of 200$ nowadays, but I was just wondering if there are any other IEMS in this range worth...

I recently had to reorganize the mess of cables under my desk, and in doing so, pulled on a few speaker cables here and there and now the sound coming out is no longer consistently balanced on both sides. If I twiddle with the parts going into my amp, it may get fixed, or become worse, and I've...

I've been looking into purchasing a DAC for my computer mainly for the convenience factor because it is quite a pain to bend down to my desktop to plug in some headphones a few times a day. On the other hand, the prospect of improved sound quality is a major plus as well, but I would just like...

I have had the RE-262 for over a year now and it still sounds great. The only problem is that the cable has gotten much stiffer and harder and because of this, microphonics have also increased significantly. I'm just wondering if there is any way to soften the cable or possibly completely...

I have stuck with the RE-262 for over a year and I must say that I have yet to find another IEM that I would be happy to switch to that isn't hundreds of dollars above my budget should my RE-262s ever break. I'm just wondering what others would suggest to someone who is crazy about that silky...

If both formats are lossless, what differentiates the 2 versions in terms of sound quality if at all?

I've gotten into the habit of getting flac versions of all my songs if possible and I've had The Dark Side of the Moon in my collection in ultra high quality for quite some time and it indeed sounded outstanding on its own. But after getting a bit curious today, I decided to compare Time to a...

I am in the market for a DAC to hook up to my computer and hopefully improve its sound quality. I am debating on whether to get the E10 which appeals to me because of the presence of  bass boost when I'm feeling a bit more adventurous, or the very well received Dragonfly. The Dragonfly is...

Allow me to start by admitting that I am not purchasing this DAC (and amp I would assume) because I am dissatisfied by my onboard audio. While it certainly isn't anything to brag about, it doesn't sound like junk. Rather, I am purchasing this DAC because I have a desktop placed on the floor and...

I have the RE262s and their cable has quite a bit of memory to it. I wear them over the ear always and so they have slowly taken that bent shape and stayed there. I can bend it back but it always goes back to its hardened self. This memory is also noticeable when folding the cable and placing it...

I recently got my hands on a second amp and it essentially renders my previous one obsolete. I was just wondering if there was any benefit/harm in running an audio signal via LOD across 2 amps instead of just one to the earphones? This is nevertheless quite impractical but I lost to my curiosity...

I had recently purchased some RE262s with an impedance of 150 ohms and have been interested in upgrading from my E6 to an E11 because of the higher power output and improved performance. However, I had also read recently that you should have a good source before bothering with amps and I'm just...

I was looking for a cmoybb on craigslist and found one for a very nice price of $40. However, I question if it is actually legitimate because there do seem to be a few differences between the sellers pictures and the pictures on the JDS labs website. This is most likely a DIY and would probably...

I have finally moved up towards the $100+ category of IEMs and settled on getting the RE262s after considering things from the HF5 to the R-50. What concerns me is that I might not be able to appreciate the sound of these IEMs because of my lack of experience. When I first upgraded my apple...

I was browsing on lendmeurears and I stumbled upon this page: http://www.lendmeurears.com/product_info.php?products_id=64&osCsid=0ff80bffd1cdcaeaef325b38d02283c7   While looking at the specs, what shocked me was the very limited frequency response of only 15hz-3000hz in comparison to most...

After taking a good long look at joker's list of reviews, I had determined that the absolute most cost effective IEM in my budget was the VSonic GR06. However, after further research, it seems that the GR04 which is not on the list is superior to the GR06 despite its lower price due to its lack...

I recently bought a very nice looking pair of speakers online and they supposedly crank out 130W. However, in a compromise towards the price of the speakers, I purchased a lower end amp which can only crank out 20W*2. I am just wondering how/if the lack of power from the amp will affect the...

My prehistoric TV has finally broke and I am planning on purchasing a new TV. However, I am also looking into purchasing a decent sound system to accompany this TV. I unfortunately have a budget of 100 but I may be able to go a bit over if the extra money will yield something significantly...

I recently received some very nice IEMs but the method of putting the sony hybrid style eartips eludes me. The hole at the end of the tip seems to be much smaller than the stem of the earphone itself. I was able to put on a pair of eartips made just from soft silicone but I cannot put on these...

I have only recently become involved in this audiophiliac behavior and I'm beginning to shave off the rough edges of my what you would call "rig". I purchased the vsonic gr99 and my only source of music is currently my ipod touch 4th gen. Now I'm pretty sure my ipod can handle driving my vsonic...
