Has anyone been able to compare the Analog DAC (or any of the latest generation of DACs) with the Wavelength Crimson?

Has anyone compared the Cardas and Dimarzio Big Red headphone extension cables? Both seem to have strong reviews, esp the latter, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard both.

Any idea how the Woo GES ranks among the Stax amps with the 507? Better choice than the 600LE?

Budx3385, what are your impressions of the T1 vs HD800 with the Stratus (and the Sonett for that metter)? I have limited experience with both phones but my sense is that the HD800 is better at spreading things out and I value that. On the other hand, the T1 has seemed a bit more coherent (the...

I'm not new to headphone listening but have been listening to the Etymotic 4S almost exclusively for many years (most recently with custom molds and upgraded cabling). Can someone give an idea of how they compare to the Senn 700s or any of the other important phones mentioned in this thread?

Is anyone able to bring an amp from DNA or from Eddie Current?

Thanks very much. It sounds like the gap between the S7 and BA or 2A3 may have narrowed further. That's also good news.

I don't think those impressions are in this thread. Could you point me to them, please? Also, we do mean the same thing by palpable imaging and I'm very glad to hear that the S7 can accomplish it.

So no one has heard the S7 with the C-core transformer and upgraded caps yet, is that right?   Also, is it reasonable to think that the 6SN7 as an output tube in a well-executed circuit (as the S7 no doubt is) is capable of producing images with the palpability of the 2A3?

Has anyone been able to compare the Stratus with the EC 2A3 or does anyone at least have experience with both? I don't have much insight into tube circuit design so I can't even evaluate them from a technical standpoint though I see they use different driver and rectifier tubes and probably...

Has anyone been able to compare the Yammy to one of the Eddie Current amps like a Zana Deux or ZDT?

Can anyone who has been using a Yamamoto HA-2 for an extended period give a brief assessment?

Has anyone compared the Decware CSP-2 to the EC Zana Deux?

Has anyone compared the CSP-2 to an EC Zana Deux? In design and price, these are very different amps but I wonder how close they might be in performance.

Has anyone been using the ER 4S with the CSP2? At 100 ohms, the 4S' impedance is on the low side though not exceptionally low so I wonder whether this is a good match (I've become addicted to the ER 4 over several years of use and am now very much attracted to the CSP2).

Slightly shifting direction again, is it clear to anyone how USB cable properties can affect performance in asynchronous mode? It seems that cable properties (as long as the cable meets spec, of course) could be irrelevant just as they are for the link between hard drive and CPU.

Has anyone re-cabled an RS-2 with a Black Dragon or even with a Silver Dragon? If so, I'd love to know your impression of the differences from the stock version.

I'm fairly new here though not new to audio or headphones. I was lucky enough to meet Joe Grado at his home several years ago and to be given a wonderful demonstration of binaural recording, smart enough to buy an HP-2 from him the same day (John Grado was busily assembling an HP-1 in the...
