Since there's almost no information on the Japanese amp maker Utsusemi-Works and their Sound Tiger portable amps within the English speaking, I've decided to create a thread here with some brief impressions, since it'll likely be of interests to fans of amps such as Mass Kobo, Brise Audio, and...

There seems to be a total void of high-end female 6.35mm (1/4") to 3.5mm adapters. I have done extensive research and come up with very little. I have a Furutech F35(R) which has a good build, but is abysmal to use - damages the male plug. Any suggestions of high-end female side together...

Since there's no mention of it elsewhere, this is a thread for the Japanese Bakoon HDA-5210MK4 headphone amplifier. Note this amp is built and designed by Akira Nagai, the founder of Bakoon, rather than the South Korean division of Bakoon which makes the widely known Amp-13r, etc. Bakoon Japan...

Hi all, seeking advice. I presently have the Pioneer XDP-100R (well, I have two), and the Chord Mojo plus various iems and headphones. It's all a good set-up. However, I'm now looking to upgrade. Can you tell me if there would be a marked improvement in terms of soundstage and transparency...

Hi y'all,    I'm currently using an Ibasso Dx80 with a pair of M-Voda with V-Moda Crossfade M-100. It's a nice portable set-up, but I'm looking to upgrade a little, especially in terms of spacing/staging/width of sound. Can any of you tell me if you have any thoughts on what would be a good...
