Where to get a cable repaired?
My beloved Beyer DT770's cable is starting to go (or maybe it's the plug. Either way, something is failing between source & headphones). I don't feel the need to get a fancy all gold cable or whatever, but if I just want to have it replaced, where can I go? Would it be possible to have a jack...- PaperMacWriter

Schiit Modi DAC with an iPhone?
According to Schist support, using a powered hub, you can connect an iPhone. Setup: iPhone -> Fancy overpriced lightning cable -> USB A-B female-to-male cable -> Powered Hub -> USB A-B male-male cable -> Schiit Modi Convoluted, but it should work!- PaperMacWriter

Digital Audio Veteran Peter Eastty Joins Apple as Director of SoC Audio Processing
Perhaps Apple will give their audio-related hardware as much love as they've given photo-processing in recent years (hey, we can hope): http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/03/peter-eastty-apple-audio/- PaperMacWriter

Replaceable Battery, Card Reading, Inexpensive PMP?
I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Intros and Recommendations forum (if I choose wrong, sorry!), but I think y'all might know better for what I'm looking for. I'm preparing to do a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail this coming year, and I'd like to be able to have podcasts to listen...- PaperMacWriter

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Some hastily taken shots before I got on a plane this morning, but it's done! Pretty pleased with how it turned out. I have some ideas for little improvements/additions I might make in the future. Definitely could do it faster and better if I tried again. It's made out of bubinga and curly maple...- PaperMacWriter

Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread
I just got my T90s and my friend who uses DT990s came over to compare. I'd agree that the primary difference is that instruments just feel more defined, like you can pick them apart better. Better placement, definition, and imaging.- PaperMacWriter

Retina MacBook Pro vs. Mac Pro?
The room I had my freshman year was a shoebox, 10' x 14' for two people. You couldn't open drawers or the closet with how cramped it was. Even with the desk they gave me, I had space for my monitor, laptop, full size keyboard and mouse. I can't be sure how big the desk will be, but I'd be...- PaperMacWriter

Retina MacBook Pro vs. Mac Pro?
I definitely agree with Marco's points and strongly recommend the rMBP. As for 4k support, I think the main issue is related to Thunderbolt on the rMBP. It seems like they'd improve that in the next refresh. Certainly the next round of integrated and discrete GPUs will be able to handle a 4k...- PaperMacWriter

Retina MacBook Pro vs. Mac Pro?
I can see the appeal of a Chromebook — a different friend had a similar setup to this. However, this falls apart as soon as you need to do any "real" work away from your desk — if you want to open up something in PS, you can't. If you don't pay for cellular, the second you're not on WiFi it's...- PaperMacWriter

Retina MacBook Pro vs. Mac Pro?
I have the current high-end rMBP, and a friend of mine has the Mac Pro. Given your budget and uses, I absolutely think that the next generation (Broadwell) rMBP is the choice for you. The Mac Pro offers many incredible features and greater reliability with things like ECC RAM, but unless your...- PaperMacWriter

Schiit Modi DAC with an iPhone?
Alright, thanks for the help :) I was only wondering because of this page on Schiits website: http://schiit.com/guides/getting-connected where it talks about digitally connecting an iPhone — they don't specify which devices this is to, was hoping their DACs might be included. Sorry if this...- PaperMacWriter

Schiit Modi DAC with an iPhone?
Hey y'all, I'm pretty new to the world of high-end headphones, having recently acquired some T90s and a Schiit Magni, and I'm really loving them. I'm thinking of adding a DAC to my setup, and was thinking of the Schiit Modi. I primarily listen to music from my MacBook Pro, but I also listen...- PaperMacWriter

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Still needs a lot of work, but the general pieces are formed for my stand. Looks kind of like a nice cream sandwich, but I'm pretty proud of it! Here's hoping with some more sanding, stain, and a finishing coat it'll look the way I'd like. It attaches to the metal clamp in the picture and serves...- PaperMacWriter

The NIKON Thread (Talk About Nikon Stuff here)
So I shoot with an F100... it used to be my dad's, and he gave it to me with some pretty nice lenses — shooting with film (sparingly) is still more affordable than picking up a used D600. Once the price of a used full frame drops enough to a college-student budget I'll add one to my arsenal, but...- PaperMacWriter

Pen-Fi (FPs, RBs, BPs, etc...) [56k Warning]
A friend picked up a Pilot Prera <M> for me while in Japan — I'm absolutely loving this thing. Still getting the hang of using the converter (piston converter), but the Pilot Iroshizuku ink is great! Wish I could get a slightly more generous ink flow though. The width of the pen is perfect, but...- PaperMacWriter

Got an Osprey Stratos 36 in Solar Flare orange about a month ago, and I love this thing. Feels tough and ready for adventure. Suspension system certainly takes some getting used to, but living in such a hot environment it's a killer feature. I use it as my everyday bag. The bright orange color...- PaperMacWriter

Trying my hand at making a stand out of some wood attached to a clamp meant for a desk lamp. Got the wood, stain, and design all together — tomorrow I'll be at a Maker Space and cut the pieces to size. Hopefully I'll have a nice looking headphone clamp-hanger to share in the next few days!- PaperMacWriter

Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread
My T90s arrived yesterday, and I'm completely blown away. Best cans I've ever heard! So far I've found my acoustic recordings (Avett Brothers especially) to sound the best on them... I feel like I'm rediscovering all my music with the clarity these have!- PaperMacWriter

Beyerdynamics DT880-250 ohms vs Sennheiser 598 (or something else)
Like others, I prefer the 880s, but also I think you really ought to look at pairing an amp with them. You don't need to go high end — quite the contrary. My friend has DT990 250 Ω, and he uses one of the cheapest Fiio amps. You can do better than that if you want, but getting an amp like the...- PaperMacWriter

dt990 DACs and amps and tubes and usb and omg brain melt
My friend has the DT990 Pro, and even that sounds fantastic. I haven't heard the premiums, some people say it sounds better but even if you get the cheapest option it's still a great set of cans. I'd say 250 Ω is probably best, a computer *can* drive them but it won't sound ideal. I would say...- PaperMacWriter

Amp for Beyerdynamic T90?
Apart from the Asgard, all of those are tube amps. Do you think that tubes are a better fit for the T90s than solid state?- PaperMacWriter

Amp for Beyerdynamic T90?
Howdy y'all, I'm upgrading from Sennheiser Momentums to Beyerdynamic T90s. I found that I almost exclusively use headphones at my desk/at home, and on the go I would use earbuds. I liked the sound of the Momentums, but they're just too small for my ears and hurt after a short while. Speaking...- PaperMacWriter
