    Bliss

    So one of my favorite artist's is named Bliss and I love them for their soothing electronica with female vocal highlights. But for some reason every time I look for the artist Bliss there is a HUGE variety of musical styles under that name. Would anyone happen to know if they're all the same...

    HD700 amp? ($100-$300)

    My friend has been using a schiit stack for the past couple years but now the amp buzzes on high gain. What would you recommend? I think the dac is fine but a dac/amp combo isn't out of the picture

    Affordable custom interconnect

    I just got my custom cables from periapt and now I'm addicted to nice cables. Now I want a 1/4" to 3.5mm interconnect to go from my DX7 to one of my tube amps, only need like a foot. Maybe I'll msg them and see if they can make one for me but it's not on their sight. Can anyone suggest a site...

    Plug guide?

    Is there a guide to what each plug is called? My search skills aren't what they used to be and I'm getting overwhelmed trying to find the correct key words and threads. I have a broken xlr cable for my he-400i's and if I knew what the plug was called I'd just buy a plug for it and fix it...

    4-pin xlr to 2.5mm trrs adapter

    I was low on blood sugar when I ordered my 6xx and added the "balanced" cable for them for $40, figured that would work on my xlr dac/amp well as I've given up on finding affordable xlr cables. Can someone give me a source to find this adapter? Is there something better than amazon? I can get...

    New audio adventure incoming (ramble/story)

    So about 2.5 years ago I decided to take my desire for hifi audio from my several year HT endeavor and into my PC. I was overwhelmed when trying to pick out equipment but I figured I was going to go all in with several pairs of can's and countless audio sources. I did go through 1 dac and 1...

    Want a tube experience

    My current setup is a Topping DX7 dac/amp with hifiman he-400i using a balanced xlr cable. How can I get tubes into this equation at a reasonable price? I don't want tubes all the time, just on occasion. I have a little bear p7 but it gives a buzz and I don't know how to fix it. *edit: I got...

    Tube amp buzz (little bear p7)

    My first headphone amp was a little bear p7 that I got a few years ago, decided to move on but enjoyed it. Now when I pull it out of the closet it has a buzz. Can you tell me if it's fixable or just get a new one? (It's pure tube class A supposedly, one large power tube two smaller pre-amp...

    Topping MX3 daily choice? (58x?)

    A blind friend of mine needs a new pair of headphones, he uses them several hours every day and the Sennheisers he has now are very wore out. Will a Topping MX3 power a pair of 58x Jubilee? If not what would you suggest? My budget is around the $150 range. My backup plan was the dt770pro but...

    L/R wobble? DAC

    I'm curious how to tell the differences from one DAC to another. I have noticed pop's and other oddities while listening to youtube but the biggest one that has me confused would be a wobble between left and right. When I first heard it was in lossless audio and assumed it was a trick used in...

    Audio Source Quality Thought's

    Been drinking a bit tonight, but I have been pondering the nuances of different level's of bit rate on audio sources. I have been frequenting bandcamp and am in love with the content (cant tell differences between numbers foobar states, but know there is more thought into the masters over all)...

    Need to make 2 setup's

    This whole journey started with the desire to do a complete audio solution for my friend who is blind. I want to complete my setup and his at the same time, as what I learn on mine trickles down to his. The end goal here is to have speakers, hifi can's, and a headset where nothing is unplugged...

    Female Vocals? (EDM?)

    Just curious if anyone could turn me on to some hi-res song's which feature female vocal's for the leads. My friend who is blind absolutely loves electronica song's with female vocals. An example would be Bliss - Wish you were here. That is among his favorite all time song. I just found...

    Topping DX7?

    I already have this in the mail just thought I'd get some thought's on it. The stat's don't look amazing but it's balanced and has a good review on this site and it has a balanced output. I guess the output impedance looks high and the power produced isn't so great, but really I don't know...

    Training my ears to hifi?

    For some reason, ever since starting my journey with blue lola's and a pure tube amp along with lossless high quality masters..... I seam to pick thing's out of music better. I am notorious for completely glossing over vocal's in song's, just listening to the sound of it all. However since...

    Desktop dac/headphone amp/power amp?

    I'm sure that I have asked about this in one way or another on this forum before, but I wanted to put my thought's together a little better. I have a blind friend who I need a complete audio solution for, he has a pair of sennheiser hd598's and I want to add speakers. I would also prefer...

    Non-DRM responsibility

    I have been getting into HiFi in some way for the past 6ish years (10+ if you count my first sennheiser headphones off newegg). This is done over time and while my rampant posts on this forum show my wanabe status, I am learning to sit here and just listen. Today I had my blind friend over and...

    Fix Little Bear P7 or return?

    I have a little bear P7 pure tube headphone amp and absolutely loved using it, however the female power connector is extremely flimsy and it cut's out easily. I'm just not sure if fixing it would be a smart move or not. I am competent enough to replace the connector (severely flawed by design)...

    Stereo speaker amp w/headphone amp

    I am in the midst of a stereo journey and find myself drawn to the headphone experience. What got me caught up in this journey was the need to first get a set of quality PC speakers for my friend who is blind, and second get a legit audio set up for my new desk set up. Of course I couldn't do...

    Schitt Decrapifier?

    Seriously? lol I just came across a 3yo linus video talking about the Schitt brand and thought I'd see what amazon has for them. I came across this and was mainly dumbfouned by the name however it left me wondering What it does..... it's usb in and usb out....... I figured that rather than...

    Should I get a DAC?

    I have been working on my own version of the ultimate desk and am currently focusing on the audio portion of thing's. My PC is an Asus Maximus IX Hero and the onboard audio is supposedly separate from everything else. I recently got a pair of Blue Lola headphones for listening to music, an...

    Pure tube amp, little bear P7 What to do?

    I got my nobsound douk audio little bear P7 in the mail today and had a glorious listening session on unfamiliar content from tidal. However before even plugging in my headphones I had an issue with the plug for the power, it doesn't make a good connection. I assumed this was due to the cable...

    Tidal connection?

    Just curious what the state of Tidal is these day's, I started it up after at least a year and am rather disappointed at how often the music cut's out. I know it's not my internet package because I have 100m+ down. It's either the tidal servers or my ISP is throttling them (queue bull crap...

    Find music in hi-fi?

    I was thinking about getting a second pair of headphones then I signed up to Tidal and realized that my content source would offer a better return on investment. So short of buying CD's how do you find the artist you enjoy on another format? I've attempted to look into beyond CD quality...
