I built Joe Rasmussen's Elsinore speakers, and Troels Gravenson's Nomex 164's which I have in the bedroom. https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/the-elsinore-project-thread.97043/page-240 http://www.customanalogue.com/elsinore/elsinore_index.htm...

I just ordered some from Parts Express last week. The W2534, I wish I had seen this before I bought it, I see the differance in the 2893 is the O.D. is much smaller than the 2534....hopefully it's not too bad. I'll check out two links you posted too.

I'm going to make this brief and I'll elaborate if people want me too. A couple years ago I tried hi-end headphones. I didn't really like them I prefer speakers, but I started using a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-R70x...which grew on me more and more I decided to try the HD-6XXX, and add a...

Just got the DAC, and I'm able to use the toslink digital out to send the source signal from the TV and Oppo player to the DAC, which I'm really happy about. I can turn off Zone 1 and turn off my speakers which is nice. I ordered a long toslink cable to set up the DAC and amp on my night stand...

Well, I bought the Modius because I knew I was never going to be happy if I didn't and I wasn't spending the money on the Bifrost, and I'll eventually want to use the balanced inputs and outputs.

Well I was trying to give context but the beginning part is irrelevant now any way.

You know what. I was really trying not to get mad but I admit I did make me a little mad. Maybe I shouldn't have, and now that I read your first comment again, I suppose I just took it the wrong way. My apologies.

I guess it's good I don't need your help then. I'm sorry but saying that's where the insults started. I don't really want to start anything, but that did piss me off...but I'll leave it at that!

Well it's not really that complicated if you read what I wrote, maybe I included too much information, but I'll go ahead and simplify it as best I can. I have the Oppo connected with RCA's to the DVD input on my Denon, the TV connected with RCA's to the TV input to the Denon, and Zone 2 output...

Did I stump everyone with this question? Well any way, the first two DAC's are off the table. The internal DAC, Tom from Schiit said he didn't think would work with that toslink adapter. I was not able to get Tidal to work won my Oppo until today, got it to work with Mconnect and use the Oppo...

First of all I am an audiophile, but never really a big head phone guy. A couple years ago I bought the HD 650's and a the Monoprice spark amp. I was trying to use it with a Denon receiver long story short I couldn't get it to work right, and I couldn't tell a difference between the Spark and...

Ok folks. I was trying to hook up a headphone amp, without plugging into the headphone jack on either my Pre/Pro or receivers. I did a bunch of searches not just here but online, and no one really seemed to be able to give me an answer. I'm an audiophile whose built several speakers, been...

WOW, I never expected a response from Sennheiser. That's very freaking cool. I really love Sennheiser and even more now. I'll remain a customer and will recommend for sure!

I didn't think you were snobbish in any way! I just want to hash this out...and I think we are finding everyone else does as well! We can agree, disagree, and all be good, and that how it should be!

So here's the thing about classic rock, soul, jazz etc. A lot of those recordings were really bad. Some remastered are better, some are not. One of the problems here is the sound engineer doesn't compensate by raising the singers voice to a volume that matches the other instruments. In my...

Yeah man, 100%. That's why I framed the whole thing the way I did. I said that very thing, I'm not comparing the HD650's to other headphones. Just like I'm not writing a review of my bookshelf speakers compared to my towers which are not even as tall as my towers are wide. I'm temped to say I...

As I said in the first post, it's all in the crossover, drivers and then speaker design is probably the most important. My main listening room I have speakers which are comparable to $20,000 speakers. To give you an idea what a difference in crossover components just look at the differences in...

Oh and BTW, this is not a "review of the 650 compared to other headphones" it's a review of the 650 and speakers, compared to the reproduction of music!

Sorry, I'm new here, however, my review is from a completely different perspective, from the reviews I've read. In any case...I have no problem if it's moved to whatever thread is appropriate! My apologies if is in the wrong spot!

Ok, let start off by saying, my Audiophile journey started some time after I got my first car and installed an Alpine CD player at a time when CD's were the new format and no one had CD's. Fortunately for me, I didn't have hardly any anything either way! This was probably about 1988. Not my...

OK, got my gear today, couldn't get it to work right with my Denon, but I have a separate DAC so I got the amp to work, and I plan on trying it with my B&K Pre/Proc this weekend. Having said that... I'm not sure what I think. First of all, my cheap speakers that I DIY built, well frankly...

I hear ya man, but this seems to a serious I don't think that's it at all. I'm a pretty serious audiophile, I'm just not a rich audiophile but I have $10,000-$20,000 comparable speakers, yes I built them from a DIY published speaker build, and my brother has Mark Levinson gear, previously, Von...

I'm gonna try it on my B&K Ref 30, that has Zone B with actual RCA's unlike this Denon. But that's not getting moved into here. I'm getting a Headphone RCA adapter for the time being, and looking at getting a different receiver if the Zone B works on the B&K. Also, in the meantime, I'll keep...

Might go with something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Optical-Coaxial-Splitter-Converter-Blue-Ray/dp/B08CDMB85B/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=digital+splitter&qid=1600385372&s=electronics&sr=1-8#customerReviews

Well for some reason I got nothing when plugged into the tapeout. I tried 3 different RCA cables no go. Then I tried a cheap DAC I have to make sure it wasn't the cables and it worked, so at least I know the new amp works and I didn't get a bad amp. Not sure what I'm going to do now. I may look...
