EDIT: UPDATE!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT TIDAL NOW OFFERS WASAPI SUPPORT NATIVELY. SHOULD BASICALLY SOUND THE SAME AS JRIVER, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE VST PLUGIN SUPPORT IN TIDAL FYI. ONLY USE THE BELOW GUIDELINES IF YOU FOR SOME REASON REALLY NEED TO RUN TIDAL THROUGH JRIVER.     Hello all! I decided to...

First, a big THANK YOU to the Music To My Ear for hosting this meet. It was a pleasure listening to so much nice gear and meeting so many friendly faces. My hope is that this meet was merely the first of many.      Please feel free to use this thread to post impressions and pictures from the...

Hey all! I'm hoping to drum up some solid interest in a meet in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I've talked to the owner of a local headphone/hi-fi/vinyl shop called Music To My Ear, and he has offered to host the meet at his store. This place has a VAST array of headphones on site for demoing. For...

Hey all. I recently had an opportunity to audition some headphones at a local hi-fi store.  I'm beginning to understand more what people mean now when they say a headphone is power hungry, but....I recently listened to both the LCD-2 and HE-6 and found that they sounded pretty awful when powered...

Hey folks! I'm surprised this wallet-friendly device hasn't really been mentioned much here on head-fi. I recently stumbled upon a thread over at rockgrotto that basically raves about it, so I decided to order one from Aune on ebay. It just came in today. I'm listening to a FLAC rip of the new...

I'm intrigued by the new Ultrasone Pro 2900...I really enjoyed the HFI-780 when I owned them. Has anyone purchased the 2900 yet? There was one fellow here who mentioned he didn't care for them, but I'd like to hear about more experiences. Regardless, I'm going to be buying these in a week or so...

I've been searching for impressions on what portable amps have great synergy with the recently released ESW10. So far, I've really only seen a few brief comments about the phone's sound on specific portable amps, and I have seen a few threads discussing portable amps and the ESW9. But since the...

Well today I was enjoying my newly acquired iBasso D1 and I decided it would be fun to roll some opamps. Already in the D1 was the AD797 and bypassed buffers. I figured I'd try out the AD743 with LMH6655 buffers since I've read such good things about 'em. After soldering the LMH6655s to browndog...

Hi, I've searched for any info about this, but it seems there is none to be found. Larry over at Headphile offers a mod to open and screen the cups of the Denon heaphones. I find this to be pretty intriguing. Has anyone here heard a pair of Denons with these mods in place?

I'm pretty new to this audiophile business, but I've stepped into it pretty well so far. My first purchase was the ksc-75, followed by the Denon AH-D2000, and now most recently the Grado SR80. I've tried to get a sampling of the different options out there, but I still don't think I've found the...

Hi all. I've been desperately trying to find the right amp for the Denon D2000. I've enjoyed it so far, but I know that my computer's integrated soundcard isn't cutting it. I know source is also important, and I plan on getting a Music Hall CD25.2. So anyway, my question concerns amps. I've been...

I've noticed that the majority of the attention around here seems to go to portable amps. I was interested in buying a portable amp, so I did some reasearch and decided that a good place to start would be the M^3. I haven't purchased that amp yet. It just hit me that I don't really need the...

I scoured ebay this week to see if there were any interesting headphones up for auction and came across these. First, I doubt they sound as pretty as they look, but have any of you ever actually heard a pair? Second, someone paid waaay too much money for them. I searched these forums for info...

Hello, everyone. I've been a long-time visitor to these forums, and I have truly enjoyed and learned much from everyone's musings on this wonderful hobby. Because of you people, I'm a proud owner of the KSC75s! So, thank you. Now, I hope to add to this community's awesomeness. As the title...
