Thank you.

Can someone direct me as to where I can keep up to date on the whole finding a new U.S. dealer thing? If there is such anyways.

The SRS-3100 system has been on back order for a few days now. I guess this is the cause. Darn!

Thanks for the reply! I was just worried about some of the sellers stating that import tax, etc. were my responsibility and such. But from your response and heavyharmonies I'm probably going to go ahead and buy from staxusa.... I didn't even realize they were actually based in the U.S. I thought...

Thanks for the reply! That's useful info. 

Thanks for the reply! I know about the unit being 100v, I also read from some posts that using a 12v power brick would be sufficient (correct me if this is untrue).

I wanna get the srs-3100 system from a seller off of ebay, but I've never bought something directly from overseas before. It would be imported from japan of course. Does anyone have experience buying a stax system off of ebay and can tell me how much I might be paying for import tax/duties/etc...

I've heard the argument that the Asgard 2 MIGHT sound better than the Magni 2 Uber, and I've also heard that there is little to no difference between them. Upon comparing the statistics between the two, the Magni 2 Uber actually looks like it would give more power to low impedance cans like the...

Nice. Thanks for the info. I think anything would be an upgrade from the Magni at this point; after buying it doing more research on it revealed it might have not been the best choice for the HE-400. Although there's so many new options just from Schiit alone that it's hard not to be curious...

This is funny; I have a 3+ year old original Magni amp (my only amp) that I use with an equally old odac and a pair of He-400's (not He-400s mind you, just the plain old HE-400). Should be an obvious question but anyone think upgrading to the Vali 2 would be a good match for these phones because...

Hmm.. that's interesting.  Is there some program out there that lets you test tracks to find out what their bitrate is?

Oh.. thats just me being a bit paranoid then   My he-400s are my new shiny toy...

Is that flac?  Igt sounds great, but I'm supposed to be hearing a crackling sound in the beginning right?  Like the kind of "raspy" like effect from a turntable?  

I've had my HE-400's for the past 5 days and I gotta say... well... I don't know what word can some it all up.  I think one of the most enjoyable things for me is their wide open and airy feeling.  I've never owned an open pair of headphones before so I could have never commented on what "open...

Quote: Bump, I'm really interested in this as well.

Quote: Strange.  Last night I plugged my brand new HE-400's into the DSS and Fiio E11 amp and got some serious hissing in the background.  Thats why i started looking into the mixamp.  Then I plug it all in the same way just now and didn't hear any hissing whatsoever.  It sounded quite nice...

Would you say the magni/modi's improvement over the E17 was more so amp wise or in the dac?

Quote:   Quote:   I'm just eager to get the best sound right off the bat.  I have my E11 for portable if needed so I'm definitely leaning towards the magni/modi.  Thanks.  Happy to be part of this awesome/expensive club! lol

Would you guys say the Astro Mixamp Pro or Mixamp 5.8 is a significant improvement over the Turtle Beach DSS?  Enough to justify the extra cost?

So after I ordered the HE-400 my parents saw no reason for me to keep the M50's so they returned them.  I was leaning towards the E17 because I wouldn't have enough to get the modi if I got the magni, but now I have another $100 to get the modi with the magni if I choose too    Also just...

thanks.

Hi guys, quick question.  Does the magni amp come with an rca cable or do you need to buy one?

Hi all;   I ordered the HE-400 with the velour pads a couple days ago and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival.  I was going to order the E17, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to do a little more research on an amp/dac that would suit the HE-400s.  I've basically have it narrowed...
