PC-DAC1 USB- RAPTOR- RS-1s ? Should I go to the next level
As It said above, My guestion is? Do you think I would get to the next level if I were to get a new source like the MERIDIAN 508.24 or the G08. I really would like to try one of these because of a conversation i had with RAY SAMUELS. If I were to get one of these, would the DAC1 still be needed...- charlie1

Will it make that much of a differance?

UE10 PROs (IMO- THE BEST)
I have been listening to my UE10s now for about 2 weeks now. I have been listening to them thru a 4G IMOD IPOD and LAROCCO PRII. These things are fantastic. The only thing bad about them is that you have to buy them to try them. So if you do not have a pair then you will never truly know. Don't...- charlie1

BURN IN IEMs
Does anybody do it like they do full size headphones? I'm talking about ones in like the E-500s, E4Ps- E4Cs. And if not then why do the full size? I have done my RS-1s GS-1000s and K701s. Just too much time to think up dumb questions I guess.- charlie1
