I've had my 840s for a couple of weeks now. Been mainly listening to them at my desktop listening station (never took them outside of my home). They've been great so far and initially they seemed to be very durable. However, I noticed yesterday that the points where the top leather straps...

I may have been in a cave but I just learned of this singer Josh Groban. His voice is probably the most effortless and transparent i've heard. Wondering if anyone else has this opinion.

I'm considering purchasing a compass from audio-gd. I currently have a zero dac/amp and i was wondering if you would purchase an amp such as a millett max to pair with the zero dac or get a compass. Which would improve my sound quality more.

I'm interested in a well constructed starving student or minimax. If you're prolific at building these, please pm me with pricing and pictures of your amps =) Thanks

Title says it all. I'm wondering what the difference between the 2 amps is. Is the max more powerful or does it just use better components? How does this amp compare with retail amps such as the compass (just the amp portion)

Hello guys. I am selling my Tianyun ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp that I received today. Today? Yeah. I decided after i purchased it that I wanted to go down another route; Specifically, a full blown AV receiver Marantz SR7001. I just opened the beautifully packaged box and...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many a times but i'll ask it again. What type of headphones are best paired with classical music? Open or closed or IEM? What quality of these cans make them pair well with classical. Which are your favorites for roughly ~200-250

Been reading through the DIY forums for some time now and I think it's time to give a project a whirl. What is the general consensus on the easiest/most enjoyable project that i will most likely use from time to time? I took a look at the Millet starving student and the instructions and i...

I saw in some sigs here that others are using the Fiio E5 to drive cans with impedance of ~300. I just ordered the Fiio e5 with the iem. How does this amp sound when paired with the hd600?

For all you Denon owners out there. Have you tried on AH D2000, AH D5000, AH D7000. How do they compare with each other. Is it a night and day difference between the d2s and the d5s?

I've been staring at these two dac/amp for the last hour and cannot seem to figure out what the difference is between them. I've emailed the vendor but haven't received a response yet. I figure I would ask the community. They are both titled zero 24/192 dac amp opa627 but one is 10 dollars...

This just occurred to me but does anyone here routinely clean headphone connectors/jacks? We spend so much on expensive connectors but what do we do about oxidation and residue buildup? I guess what i'm asking is: Do we have to maintain our equipment (amp, headphone etc...) in any way shape...

I'm interested in a quality LOD for my 3g. Please PM if you can do it. Thanks

reposted from the "headphones" section. Didn't know i was supposed to post here. Hello. I'm in the market for a new pair of IEM headphones. I've narrowed it down to these two. I've read through the numerous positive reviews about both of them. What i've gathered so far is that they are both...

Hello. I'm in the market for a new pair of IEM headphones. I've narrowed it down to these two. I've read through the numerous positive reviews about both of them. What i've gathered so far is that they are both decent offerings for their price. I can't decide at this point which one "i'd" prefer...

Hello. Wondering how the commercial docks that you can buy through companies like Denon, Myrantz, or Apple Universal Dock - Apple Store (U.S.) differ from the one that ALo Audio makes such as: iPOD / iPHONE LOD CABLE TO RCA FOR AMPLIFIER - RCAB52 - eBay (item 380121244752 end time Jul-29-09...

I recently purchased a Fatman Itube Carbon Fatman iTube ValveDock Carbon Edition 2 and picked up a set of Infinity P162 speakers. The system does what it says and sounds quite decent for small room listening. Overall a nice system but after reading through some forums, i feel as though i could...

Hello. I'm in a jam. Recently purchased the Fatman iTube Red-i with Speakers It does not come with a headphone output. * Power Output: 25Wx2 * Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20KHz (±1.5Db) * Harmonic Distortion: ≤0.5% * Signal-To-Noise Ratio: ≥86Db * Input Impedance: 100KΩ * Output...

I recently purchased a Fatman I-red itube: Link: Fatman iTube Red-i with Speakers This amp does not provide a headphone jack and only really has speaker outputs. Is there anyway to rewire my Sennheiser HD580 so that I can power them with this amp? Specifically, i was wondering if there was an...

I am selling a pristine condition Z-Audio Lambda. This amp sounds extremely nice and has op amp rolling capabilites. That means that you have many more options to cater the sound to your needs. I am selling this to fund my purchase of some new golf clubs, my newfound addiction. I am selling...

It was my understanding that the cowon a2 is one of the best sounding dap out there. when i run my cowon a2 with a pa2v2 and hd580 i get significantly more background distortion than when a run it through the my laptop 16 mb sound card (when i hook up the a2 to the laptop through usb, so it's...
