    Does anyone know where to buy apple lightning connectors for DIY cable purposes?

    I ordered an iPhone 7 a few days ago and I wanted to build a short mini-usb to lightning cable for use with portable DAC's, but I haven't been able to find any lightning connectors for sale. If I can't find any lightning connectors I guess I will just buy a lightning cable, chop off the standard...

    Looking for new IEM to replace ATH-IM50

    My ATH-IM50's are now barely functional, and I am looking for a new IEM to replace them. My original plan was to get a new cable for the IM50's, but I figured I might as well try something new, and if that doesn't work out I will just replace the cable on my IM50's.   I am looking for the best...

    Looking for suggestions for in-ears $80 USD or less

    I have been using audio technica ATH-IM50 for about a year now and I am looking for some new in ears. I would not like to spend any more than $80, but my goal is good value for the money.

    How does the AKG K553 compare to the K545?

    I was about to buy some K545's but I saw the K553. The 553 is $80 less brand new than the K545 is brand new and I thought it might be nice to save some money. I heard the K553 was more balanced than the K545, is that true? I don't really care that much if it more balanced because I can probably...

    Recommended chips for an 18v CMoy?

    I recently built an 18v CMoy based off of this layout, and I was wondering what the best opamp chips for this would be.

    I think i just fried my cmoy's chip

    I recently accidentally inserted my cmoy's 4556ad chip backwards, so i went to remove it and burned the crap out of my fingers, i inserted it in correctly, and it no longer works.

    I have recently purchased a pair of sennheiser hd 558s, and am getting an amp for them, but I need a DAC because my laptop's integrated sound chip sucks more than drinking lemon juice after getting a paper cut on your tongue. I don't want a DAC amp combo because i want to be able to try...

    I have an HP laptop that i decked out for gaming, but the only thing i can't change is the sound card. I am looking for something around $70, preferably something with a dedicated amp. I don't really care what kind of connector it has as long as it isn't PCI.
