i got news last night that I won an ALO International+ from a contest on digitalaudioreciew.com. I'm hoping to use it with my Sony NW-F887 DAP. I've seen Sony's cable (WM-Port to female USB) but I want something cleaner. I really don't like cable to cable connections with wires going everywhere...

That's a great suggestion. Would look really cool too!

Yeah I never gave them the power they deserved now that I think about it. I had a Fiio X1 back then which wasn't terrible but surely not a great match for the M-100s.

Wow, this is a dreamy portable harem!  I hope to achieve this status someday LOL.   Quote:

My new to me F887 will be arriving today.  Has anyone run Tidal off on it?  How does it sound/function?

I really love my Calyx PaT and Coffee. So much so that I think I'm going to end up selling them both and get the Calyx M. I love the design features and looks of the Calyx gear.

I wanted to love the M-100s. The build quality and comfort are exceptional. They just weren't for me in the end though. I had what I can only describe as "Bass Fatigue" from them. They were my first decent headphones really and since then I've found that I much prefer open back.    Does VModa...

With the cost of the A2 on the used market I believe it's one of the best values I've come across.  I can't wait to feed mine with a decent source like the Bifrost.  I know the Modi 2 sounds close to the Bifrost but who can deny the Asgard 2 the matching chassis of the Bifrost?

If you'd like to build some and Vintage appeals to you I'd highly recommend this build.   https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/2-way-speaker-kits/seas-a26-10-2-way-kit-pair-based-on-the-classic-a25/   Should jive with your music preferences very well too.

I've had my coffee for about three weeks now and I'm quite happy with it.  I also have a Schiit Asgard amp and I have yet to try running it off of the Coffee's line-out.  It's something I need to try when I have the time.  The amp in the Coffee sounds very good as it is.

I've had my MKIIs for awhile now and haven't had any issues with the case.  Were they stepped on while you were not present perhaps?

Did I miss something?  Are there Comply tips that work perfectly with these yet?  

I've been using my new-to-me Asgard 2 for a few days now and I'm quite happy with it. It's playing double duty as a preamp in my main listening system right now as I'm greatly simplifying my gear at the moment. It does far better as a preamp than I expected. Connected to my Arte Forma SS amp and...

Got the Asgard 2 setup last night. Just awesome. It compliments the HD600 nicely giving them taught bass and articulate miss and highs without removing their easy to listen to nature. Vinyl sounds particularly amazing through this setup. I can't wait to get a proper DAC to get my Digital side...

I use my Accuphase C-200 preamp or a Calyx PaT. The PaT sounds very good, the C-200 is a little flat.

Being newer to the Head-Fi game I decided to jump in with a set of Grado SR125e. After deciding that I like listening to headphones I wanted something more comfortable so I began the research. I landed in the HD600 and boy am I glad I did. It is just so easy to listen to. I still enjoy the Grado...

With the HD600s it's like having two more clicks of volume. It isn't much but those two clicks go a long way to making the big cans satisfying. I only have cheap-ish LSTN Bowerys as far as IEMs are concerned. Even with these mediocre at best headphones there is a noticeable improvement is...

I've been using my PaT with my iPad and iPhone 6+ for a few days now and I am quite happy with it. It definitely punches above its price tag. I do wish it was able to push a slightly higher volume with my HD600 but it does sound phenomenal and has acceptable volume for most situations. It easily...
