Hey long time no see. I have been out of the headphone game for a while but I decided to go ahead and buy some decent cans and these AKG k271 mkIIs are pretty sweet sounding. However I have a problem. Even with my Emu 0404 USB dac driving them the volume is just not as much as I would like it. I...

I really do not know where to look for diy products. can someone direct me to where I could find female plugs in various colors?

I sent out my sr60s via ups and they received em around the 26th of last month. I have yet to hear even a peep out of them. no emails, phone calls, or letter to date. I understand it can be a long process so I am just wondering what other people have experienced with Grado Labs warranty service...

so Im gonna have to sell my much loved alessandro ms2is..... it makes me sad.... but I really need to. so before I post my sale thread here on head fi I had a question. I keep hearing about paypal fees and Im not sure how to calculate them. Im gonna sell this thing at 250 free shipping but I...

I am deciding between several different headphones and I want to know which ones would be the best. I do not want anything that will slip off while walking/jogging and are comfortable. will be using with a sansa clip. so far these seem interesting: igrado, senn pmx 60 100 or 200 koss...

ok so I might get a mini and mod it to 32gb and rockbox it for flac usage. I will likely get a portable amp for it because I will likely buy a yuin pk1 or ok1. so here is the deal: the mini is pretty small and having an amp with it kinda kills its portability to some degree... I want a fairly...

I might be the most indecisive person ever. its been months of reading reviews and asking questions and trying to figure out what exactly I want in a portable player. I have considered the itouch, ipod mini with cf mod, meizu m6, cowon iaudio 7, and a whole bunch of others. Im still not...

so back during the ipod video days (5g) the ipods with the smaller hdd had lesser ram then the ipods with the bigger hdd (might have been other differences too idk...). is this the same case with the ipod touch? does the 8gb one have less hardware power than the 32gb?? cuase if that is the case...

has anyone ever recabled a ms2? I have been searching around and cant find anything... Im just wondering becuase I one day would like to recable them but since the casing is aluminum I am a bit worried about the procedure.... I mean how do you open these suckers?

I would like to find a alessandro ms2i wallpaper in 1600 by 1200. anybody know where I could grab one? if not then I guess I will have to look for threads with high quality pics of it and then try to make my own....

so I want to get into DIY. it seems very exciting and satisfying. I figure the most logical starting point would be interconnects. if I am wrong then please tell me what I should start with. can you guys give me some links to good resources on starting down the DIY path? maybe some guides or...

what would be the best dac I could get for recording guitar and mic under 150 bucks? should have midi as well but it is not a requirement. I would prefer the unit would be able to have phantom power but that as well is not necessary. I am shopping for a dac so my brothers in law can record their...

so I am still looking around. i have read like almost every review of these things (except the go vibe) and I want to know what would be the best option for ms2is, yuin pk1 or ok1 (haven't fully decided yet) and maybe even some high impedance phones I might get eventually like some high end...

I never thought I would ever want one but Im starting to salivate. the pandora radio app looks amazing and the multitude of other apps is plain awesome. however before I buy something like this there is one simple issue and thats storage space. I was thinking it would be possible somehow...

hey guys Im thinking about buying a pico soon and Im going to be using this little monster amp/dac here with my ipod classic (6g) and cd player mainly. Now as I understand it the 6g cannot be modded becuase it uses a different dac inside. I hear it actually sounds better than the 5.5g and as...

Hi havent been here for a while ever since I got my allesandros and 0404 I have been enjoying myself with this awesome combo. Now I have been noticing this whole pico dac/amp thingy and I am very interested in how tiny this thing is. I mean its amazing. I have been looking for something a bit...

I am using my laptop with 0404 usb and I am getting things going pretty smoothly with the asio drivers that come with the unit however I am curious about asio4all and asios2ks and also direct sound's asio driver. I want to know if they at all sound different or have more options or even sound...

I am using foobar to play some lossless apple files and I am using asio. my os is vista. when Im listening to music itll play for a bit then turn really staticy and then just die out. songs wont play for more than 30 seconds. when I use the ds (I guess direct sound) it plays but every now and...

so I have the ms2is coming my way and I now need to buy the amp/dac to help get the best I can out of those alessandros. I am using my laptop with the ms2is mainly. this is my home rig im building here. (my portable rig isnt that great yet but lets wait till I get some more money or somebody...

what is the differance between the grado 60 - 125? im gonna buy my wife some headphones and i have enough to buy the 125s but if there is very little differance than i might as well save some cash and just get her sr60s...

I have purchased the sr60s and have been very happy with them. I now desire to make the next step and purchase some nice full sized headphones and a decent portable amp to drive them. I have about 280 bucks to work with. how shall I proceed?

well I want to buy an amp cuase the volume on my pcdp is not loud enough. I dont really know what to look for in one and have no idea where to find a newbie guide on portable amplifiers. either way I would like one that has rechargable batteries and decent battery life. also would like to spend...
