I must add that using it on flights and outdoors in general with volume at the level I usually listen to stuff (~70%) this has been no issue for me. Specially since the power and clarity I'm getting is day and night difference compared to the garbage BT cable UE sells. Been enjoying it a lot...

been using my BT cable for a while now and it's everything I wanted except the background hiss. I'm using it with UERM. Now I wonder how can I find out about a firmware update whenever it comes out?

Hey guys, so after losing my Westone ES50s last year, I finally have a budget around 1000$ to purchase a new pair of CIEMs. I use studio monitors in my living room and in general like flat response on my audio gear. So far I've came up with two options: -Ultimate ears reference remastered...

I see your point, but is the volume control in a Saga as good as for example what is implemented in the Ragnarok? I really like to keep my system as simple as possible and get components that are as neutral as possible. So if the tube stuff was removed and instead the volume control was a very...

Ok I've been reading on the subject now and I see that was a stupid question haha   I wish Schiit made some sort of a passive preamp with balanced I/O and a high quality volume control for those who don't wanna mess around with tubes. This could be also an option in the DAC lineup in future...

Hey guys, I've been reading this thread since I'm looking for a remote controlled preamp for my two channel setup. I'm wondering if there's any sonic advantage in using a Saga or Freya in passive mode over the SYS?    If not, I'd try to add a motor to SYS and make it remote controlled and save...

Thanks a lot, didn't even know about this brand until now! This looks good and I can actually order a remote for an extra fee.    But is it really not that many options out there with these requirements? I should add that I'm looking for something under 1K (USD) but can stretch it to 1.5K or...

Hi there!    I'm looking for a headphone amp that meets these requirements:    -is kind of an end-game quality, will be my main amp for some years. My signature preference is neutral.  -has xlr I/O -has 1/8 heaphone jack in front -has passive xlr outputs for my active speakers  ...

  Ok let me clarify! It sounds like ****, relative to what I expect! It sounds pretty good in face, but connecting the digital output of the TV to a 1200USD Marantz receiver and to the speakers is giving me a hardly noticeable improvement over TV headphone jack to speakers, if any improvement...

Hey guys, looking for a solution to connect my newly acquired active speakers (Genelec G four's) to my TV, I've been reading and searching all over the net and eventually I got interested in the new Schiit stuff coming out soon! I knew I could find a good discussion here on them and boy was I...

you think PM-3 is good enough? How about the closed back EL-8 ?    Any comparison you could make between the HA-2 and Groove in terms of sounds? regardless of features or anything else? 

So far the dac/amp candidates are the following Oppo HA-2  Apogee Groove Really tempted to pull the trigger on the groove but would love to know how it compares to the Oppo when used with fullsize cans and also sensitive CIEM's. Come on guys shed some light here please! 

Hey guys,    so I need closed back full-size cans for office. Never had any full size cans before. I'm the type that invests for long term use. Used my IE8's since they came out until  a few months ago and recently bought the Westone ES50's to replace them. So I'm willing to up the game as...

hey guys,    I got the ES50's recently and these are my first pair of custom in ears. When I pop them in my ears it feels like they fit perfectly but after a while I get some  ache in my ears and after a longer period it gets better I assume because of the heat activated material used on the...

Hi there,    as I said in the title, I want to invest some money to upgrade my portable rig. For now I can only afford to get a premium pair of IEM's or a very good DAP.  Later on I will upgrade the other part to match the upgraded one.    What will give me a better sound now:    Zune hd...

  let me correct myself, I don't use it just for discovering but also for listening to new discoveries! I have my collection but for new stuff I just like to stream rather than buy albums. And I'm fine with 320 kbps audio. 

Hi there,    as the title says, I'm looking for a good sounding player with 3g/4g capability. My android phone (Nexus 5) sounds crap and I really rely on Google music  to discover new stuff.    I also looked into portable amps but seems like the usb output on Android devices may or may not...

It actually makes it just a tiny bit brighter on highs and a bit clearer on vocals, I actually did it because of the vocals, the mid-range sounded a bit muddy to me out of the box, I tried them on without pads and liked it so I put the holes. one thing, if you put more small holes it could be...

Hey guys, got my MS1s today shipped from the states and before letting them go through the burn in, based on what I read before about the sound I decided to do a very simple mod, three big holes in the pad using a lip stick cover ! just sharpened the edge of the cover and put three holes in...

thanks for the reply T3 is not in my price range, while the E1 has the advantage of having LOD I think that is the best choise thanks to all

thanks for replies I think Fiio E1 suits his needing, good to buy 1 piece including the amp and cable, it is also easier to take it outside. its also available on amazon is there any durability issue with it ? sounds it sound quite good but I think its a Chinese product so I want to be sure...

hi there, recently my friend call me to get some advice, the headphone output jack is not working because of a broken circuit board near the jack and I think using the Dock out port is the only solution, so I need some advice on what is the best amp for him , he is not going to use an amp to...

so I have to find a way to buy them directly from their website, maybe charging a head-fier's paypal and asking him/her to buy them for me online with the shipping address of my friend in the US maybe I pm one of you in the near future thanks all of you for the help specially JayB18

thanks again for replies I don't mind the look, just the sound is matter and I will use them indoors, IEM's for outdoors. so I go for MS-1's and thanks for your help, I much appreciate it. but do you know any other place to buy them ? actually, I'm in Iran and buy goods from US with the...
