Hello everyone,   I need help selecting a DAC to finish my digital setup.  Right now I'd be going to a Head-Direct EF1 to HD650s.  My budget is ~$400.  I listen to rock, blues, and jazz.  I would also like to plug it into my PS3 for gaming, which uses the same amp/headphone setup.   When...

I had Denon D2000s, but the cable got damaged in a move and the ear-cup screw fell out.   So, I'd like new headphones under $250.  They'd be connected to a Head Direct EF1 amp, and I'd be getting a DAC later.  I enjoyed the sound signature of the D2000, but the impedance was a bit low with...

One of the earcups on my AH-D2000s came off recently. I can't find the nut anywhere. Anybody know what size the screws are so I can buy a new one without going through Denon?

As the title says, my new computer freezes when I try to rip CDs. Any format. EAC and dbpoweramp both freeze the computer (only a hard reboot will fix), but windows media player actually works. This isn't an acceptable permanent solution, so I need help on finding out what's wrong. My drive...

I'm putting together a vinyl setup (for rock/blues/jazz music, if that matters), and the last component in the chain is the headphone amp. My headphones are Denon AH-D2000s. Under $300, preferably lower. I'm willing to buy used. Thanks!

Most of my music that I listen to was made in the 60s-80s, and most was originally released on vinyl. I want to start a vinyl rig, and somewhat cheap in case I don't like it. I'm almost positive that I will, though. Here's a few considerations: 1. I'm in a tiny apartment and share a...

Well, I've been all over the place recently on what my next pair of headphones is going to be. Originally I was considering the grado sr225, but then I decided that I need something more isolating than what I have now (the Denon D1000s). These are going to be my "home" rig so I want them to be...

So, today, I decided to use my Move as a DAC for the first time. I normally use it as a portable amp on the go. I hooked it into my macbook pro (and into the power supply), and boy was I disappointed. Crackling, everywhere. If there's one thing that bothers me with music, it's when there isn't...

Hi. I posted a question similar to this in these headphone's appreciation thread but it didn't get answered, so I'll post it again here. I'm fairly set on these (grado SR225) as my next set of cans (and my first can with an "open" design). My question is, which pads would I need to get the...

EDIT: Now closed. Thank you for the inquiries. The original post is below for posterity or something. I have no idea where to post this. Feel free to move this thread to wherever it applies. My Denon AH-D1000s are broken. Minorly. The headphone jack is bent (not broken off). They need to...

Ah, the perils of buying grey-market. I was on a plane the other day, with the Denon AH-D1000s around my neck as I was going to get my seat. While I filed in, the cord got tangled around a chair, and yanked itself out of my iPod. The jack is now bent. I'm lucky it didn't snap off in my iPod...

I've looked around for something (specifically, the box set of The Doors' Matrix performances), and I can't find it anywhere. Amazon has a 1 disc sampler, but I want the whole thing if possible (4 or 6 CDs, depending on who you ask). I've checked ebay, too, without finding anything. Are there...

I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on the Move, but I need to get things sorted out first. One source will be my iPod, so I need a lineout cable for a portable setup. The move will be going from my iPod to my Denon AH-D1000s. Anyhow, this is fairly urgent because the Microshar sale is...

With songs that are encoded with apple lossless, sometimes it'll play a few seconds of a song, then skip to the next track. Going back shows that the track is still in tact and can be played through completely. It only happens with lossless files and is pretty annoying. Anybody know how to...

I'm trying to get more into blues. From what I've heard (electric blues mostly), I've absoultely loved it. Anyhow, I want to buy ~10 albums or so. I need recommendations based on my list (I know I'm missing a lot) Here's what I have so far (most of these have pretty poor bit rates, they're...

Me again. Now that I have purchased new headphones (Denon D1000s) to replace my dying earbuds, I am now looking for something to help accentuate them. Since I don't have a sound card in my laptop at all (macbook pro), I won't get much from that, and I won't get much from my iPod either. I'm...

Yes, I did a search (five or six, actually). I apologize if what I am talking about specifically came up (and it probably did). Let me preface this with my problems and why I'm looking for a new pair of headphones. When I first got my iPod, I used the stock earbuds. Eventually, I wanted an...
