Hi All, I was gifted this IEM and I am not sure which DITA Audio earphone it is. Can these pictures help determine what earphone I am listening to? I do not have the box it would have been delivered in. There are two right angle connectors. One is a 3.5mm TRS and the other is a 2.5mm TRRS.

See the sale Alclair posted today? https://alclair.com/ Anyone thinking about pulling the trigger on a new custom?

Big iFi Audio fan here!  I noticed there wasn't a thread dedicated to the Retro Stereo 50 and with it's eventual release in the States I think it's time to start one.   I had the opportunity to hear the Retro system at CanJam '14 and I loved what it did with HiFiMan headphones.  I didn't get...

Check it out folks.  I just saw this on their Facebook page.   http://alclair.com/giveaway/2014-christmas-giveaway/

I auditioned the AK240 at AXPONA and it knocked my socks off.  It made my CIEMs sound better than they ever had.  Do you any of you know of a desktop solution that compares well to the AK240 for $1,000 less?     The source will be a laptop running JRiver.  What do you folks think?  

This review has been in the making for quite some time.  I held off due to my pair of RSMs being equipped with a prototype high-frequency balanced armature and I wanted to wait until the CIEM was ready for prime time before typing up my fondness for it.  Well, last week I spoke with Marc...

My girlfriend sent this to me.  I swear    http://perezhilton.com/2012-11-15-50-cent-qvc-177k-9-minutes-headphones-twitter#.UKUC--Q8B8F

Hey guys,   I like playing around HDtracks with my JH3A in tow.  The JH3a will playback the 192kHz/24bit tracks without a problem.  Can people please chime in with their experience using 192kHz tracks with their DACs that support 92kHz and below?   I am thinking I will stick to...

Hey guys,   How many MN, ND, and SD folks do we have in here in 2012?  Any interest in meeting up to share our headphone gear?   I went on Audeze's website to see that they have a dealer in MN at 7232 Hunters Run, Eden Prairie, MN 55346.  If there is enough interest I could call him to...

Hello all,   Would anyone have experience with a ~$500 USB to SPDIF converter and/or a dedicated computer for music playback.  I am contemplating purchasing a JKSPDIF MK3 or building a dedicate computer to play my music.  I don't have any friends in the Minneapolis area that has one of these...

Has anyone heard of or even used the Musica Ibuki DAC yet?  I read awesome things about it.

I am on the market for a great portable source and I would prefer not to spend over $500.  I was thinking that if the HiFiMan did not have the built-in amplification it would be around what I am willing to spend.  Anyone know of a DAP due in the near future with a quality DAC equivalent to the...

Hey guys, I followed the instructions to jailbreak my 3.1 3G iPhone. I used Cydia to download vlc4iphone. I have no clue how to use iTunes but I don't think that is the problem for me. I was able to get files into the ipod section of the iPhone. I get lost where the directions say to...

I did some searching and I could not find a reasonable answer to my question. If one was to purchase a portable amplifier to use at home and on the go should they purchase one with a DAC? Let's please assume this person does not want a two case solution. Is the line out from a laptop...

I am sorry my fellow head-fi'ers for starting a thread like this. I bet there are many of you who have seen their fair share of these type of questions and are sick of them. I am in desperate need to upgrade quick. I am not loving where I am at right now. A head-fi'er who I met at RMAF '09...

Hey guys, I would like to start building my own equipment to reach audio nirvana, HA ( : I purchased a pre-built Millet Max so I could listening to music as soon as possible. My first project I want to take on is a Opus DAC build. This DAC allows for a balanced configuration that I would...

I have a the 580s myself and I would love to improve them. They are currently not doing it for me. I am using them with a Millet Max and emu 0404 usb from a laptop. I prefer a warmer presentation to the music so I want to give the Senns a chance. Can anyone offer up their personal...

Has anyone tried to eliminate the sound radiating from the back of their cans? I am curious what approaches, if any, people have tried because I do not want to bother my colleagues around me while at work. I was thinking of trying absorber on the back of each earpiece.

Hey all, I connecting my PC to the emu 0404 via a usb cable. I am running optical out to my Yamaha receiver. This approach porduced no sound. However, I do get sound out of the headphone amp on the emu 0404. Prior to getting the emu 0404 I was taking the same approach using an Audigy NX...

...but now I am thinking I am on my way back to square one. I wanted to find a good price for me to pick up either AKG 701s or Sennheiser 580s. Because I work in a room filled with cubicles I am worried the sound radiating from the headphones would be heard by others. I have never owned a...

I hope this thread is exciting for some and not 'old news' for others. I have favorite songs I like to listen to for each of my speakers. As a newbie in this hobby, I would like to hear what peoples' favorite songs are with different cans. I am looking forward to some replies. Thanks all!

I am a noob looking for advice from experienced users of the emu 0404. Is there any downside from running a usb cable from a laptop to the emu 0404? Where has you guys gotten your cables to run from the emu 0404 to an external amp? Thanks all!

Has anyone had such a horrible experience with their DIY build that they dropped the project entirely?

Hey all, I did a search and I could not find a definitive answer for some of my questions. One question I have is, what are the different versions people have built of the Millet Hybrid Max? I know there exists a MOSFET and BJT output stage. Are there earlier versions that have been built and...

Hey all, First time poster here. I have been lurking for a while and I have to say this site amazing. I am coming from the home audio world and I have made the rounds on lots of other forums. I purchased a set of Yamaha YH-2 to use while at work on my laptop. I am currently plugged into a...
