    Has burn-in ever been a bad thing?

    I don't mean to incite a flame war, but i'm just curious if anyone ever had an instance where burn-in made your headphones sound worse instead of better. Please, indulge me.

    Stay with HD580s or switch to DT770s?

    right now i have an HD580 with HD650 cables and the HD600 cups. they're alright, but the only thing that annoys me is that it doesn't "wow" me anymore. i think it's the sloppy midbass that is to blame. it makes everything seem so dull. do the DT770s have the same problems? i love the things...

    X-Fi + Zhaolu 2.5A w/ Headamp is ridiculously loud

    Hey all, i just got my Zhaolu 2.5A with the headamp upgrade, and i'm currently listening to it via a coaxial connection to my X-Fi. the first thing i noticed was how loud it was. i'm not talking just kinda loud; a nudge above silent reaches my upper limit in terms of volume. i had to push my...

    In search of a DAC/Amp with coaxial input

    I need some suggestions as to what DAC/Amp I should get that accepts coaxial input (for my X-Fi). USB DACs are out of the question due to a driver issue in vista which makes all USB DACs staticky/stuttery. I'm currently leaning towards a Zhaolu 2.5A w/ headphone amp upgrade. Are there any other...

    Is my system too lopsided?

    i've been trying to slim down my system recently, and this is what i have so far: PC (X-Fi)>COEM modded Lite DAC-AH>Porta Corda MKIII>DT880 i'm worried that i'm not taking full advantage of my DAC with my porta corda amp, and that adding the DAC-AH is pretty pointless. what are your thoughts?

    Looking for a Home/Portable Amp

I'll be using the portable amp to drive my ipod nano and my home system, which consists of a DT880 and a DAC-AH. What portable amplifier would best suit this combination? I have a new headphonia mini amp...

    DAC-AH change voltage input (240V->110V)

    Hi all, I have little to no knowledge of modding, and I just received a DAC-AH from Australia that accepts 240V. The problem is that I live in the US, so our wall sockets provide 110V, so I either have to buy a step up transformer or mess around with the innards. Anyone know how to do...

    I need pics of the insides of your 115V DAC-AH

    *edit: I'm trying to convert my DAC-AH from 230V to 115V, and I haven't reached the answer yet. I'm calling on any DAC-AH owners in the US (or any country that uses 110V) to show me images of the inside of your DAC-AH, paying close attention to the transformer and the power input prongs, so that...

    Should I go from an HD650=>HD580?

    hey guys, my hd650s sound fairly muddy on my current setup (x-fi coax=>lite dac-ah=>head5, which is a bass heavy system in itself). i love the bass slam of the hd650, but sometimes there's just way too much. do you guys think the hd580s will clear things up for me and keep the bass slam at...
