I just purchased a set of Stax SR5 headphones with the SRD-7 adapter on craigslist. The seller threw in an additional headphone, which he believes to be a Denon electrostatic...there are no markings on it anyway (except for "Japan" written on it) and the energizer it came with only says  ME-20D...

Apologies for the potentially dumb question, but I'm a bit confused.   iPhone 5 --> Lightning to USB adapter --> Schiit Modi --> Schiit Valhalla    Does the Modi act as the DAC in this setup? Or is there a DAC in the Lightning to USB adapter? I've been hearing potentially conflicting...

My setup: Computer/iPod Source (Lossless), Schiit Modi, Schiit Valhalla, Sennheiser HD580.   I love this combo, but I'm in need of some closed-back headphones to prevent sound from leaking out. Some coworkers I work near are getting a little annoyed :)   So, recommendation for a closed back...

I'm looking to get a small cd player that has a digital out (to use with a DAC and an amp). Do these exist anymore? With the advent of the iPod, these seem to have gone away. Any recommendations for one that isn't crazy expensive?

I know there have been threads on comfort in the past, but I am looking for some information that is a little more specific. Money is not a factor and I'm looking for comfort only. In this thread I am not concerned with sound quality. This is for a college ergonomics project, so any help is...

Hi All, Not really a headphone related question but I figure I'd ask anyway! I recently purchased a Vizio LCD TV and the only output for audio that it has is SPDIF. Now, I would like to hook it up to my amp (which I made myself) that only has RCA inputs (analog). Is there any way to do...

Hi All, Random question...but does any of you know what the diameter of the bar Grado uses in their headphones is? I'm not talking about the adjuster bar, but the one (or two) bars hidden by the vinyl material that give the headphones their "springiness." Also, is it one or two bars? I...
