    Looking for a DAP with a parametric eq

    Hi everyone, I've been using a FIIO M11 for a while now with good results, but have recently found myself in need of something with a parametric eq built in. I know there are apps like Neutron player and Roon that can do paramatric eq but on the FIIO those each present challenges in the form of...

    Need advice on a phone / portable player

    I'm looking for a DAP or phone with the following features.  I already have a Chord Mojo and headphones that have Bluetooth APTX so I don't think I care about the sound quality of the player itself.  I'm an iPhone user and don't plan on ditching that as my main phone, this is a device that I'll...

    Help me find a new headphone

    I currently have the Fidelio X2 and have been enjoying them since release date, but would like to see if I can move up the chain a little.  The problem is I've been out of the audio game for a while and haven't kept up with newer models and such, that's where I'm hoping you guys can help.  ...

    USB to spdif converters

    I'm looking at the Peachtree X1 and the Musical Fidelity VLink 192 and wanted to see if anyone here could offer any thoughts? Reviews on the VLink look good enough, but I'm coming up with zero info about the X1, and am wondering if anyone here has heard it, or can even give me any input just...

    Time for an amp upgrade for the HD600

    I've been enjoying my setup for a while now, but think I"d like to upgrade to a better amp.  I"m running the Sennheiser HD600 out of a Schiit Valhalla amp being fed by a Peachtree DAC-IT.  I"ve used the same DAC in other setups and really like it, and I've heard the HD600 on better amps and...

    Are there any good IEMs with iPod controls?

    I"m trying to build a good portable setup, and am looking for IEMs that will work well with an iPod.  I have an iPod classic and have swapped out the drive with a 250GB drive that I have loaded with lossless audio.  I"m wanting the best sound I can get driven directly from an iPod, not looking...

    Schiit Valla compared to a Millett Minimax

    I'm looking at purchasing the Schiit Valhalla and I've read several reviews but wanted to get some input here as well.  My experience with amps is limited, so wanted to see if someone could compare it to an amp that I am familiar with, the Minimax hybrid.   I'm not looking for a disertation...

    Thinking about amps for DT880

    I've come across a couple other threads on this topic here, and have seen amps like the Little Dot and the DarkVoice mentioned.  I wanted to see if there are other options I should be looking at.   Right now I have Millett Minimax and an ASL MG Head OTL.  I'm going to have to give one of...

    DAC w/Crossfeed

    Is there a DAC out there that has crossfeed capability, at a decent price? I know of several amps that have it, but I'm already covered on that front, so I'm just looking for a crossfeed device or at most a DAC with crossfeed. I've noticed quite a bit of channel separation on some older...

    I'm loving life with the 650s

    I've had these for about a week now. They do take some getting used to, but I've really come to appreciate their sound in the last couple days. When I go from these back to my HD280Pro, there's a huge difference. I think the important thing with these cans is patience. When I first heard...

    ASL MG Head question

    My amp arrived today, have a quick question. I know the difference between the transformer and OTL headphone jacks on the front. I have yet to decide which I like, but that's another issue. The question I have is on the feedback switch. I've done some reading, and found the thread below to...

    Your favorite (pick one) binaural recording

    What's your favorite binaural recording? Maybe it's the same answer, but if you could reccomend only 1 recording to someone that's never heard it before (such as myself) - what would you reccommend?

    Sennheiser HD650/600/580 owners, post your setup

    I just bought a pair of HD650s from someone here. I've spent about a day with them already and love their sound. They're currently running off the original Little Dot amp, probably not the ideal amp for them, but I'm still amazed at how good they sound. I just purchased the ASL MG Head amp on...

    Tube Amp for Senn HD650?

    I'd like to get some input on tube amps for this set of cans. I've done some looking around, and here's what I know of right now. Anything on here that I should avoid, any thoughts on any of these, anything that should be on my list that's not there? I'm trying to stay under $400. Little...

    Everyone look at the NooB

    Allow myself to introduce........myself. Okay that was a pathetic attempt at humor, but get used to it I'm sure there'll be plenty more to come. I'm new to the world of headphones and headphone gear. I've always been into audio gear, but always of the loudspeaker variety. I've never spent...
