So I first indulged in this headphone world about 8~ years ago, and within a couple years, had a pretty good setup with FLAC running out of Foobar2000. Over the years this has progressed to my current setup, FLAC --> Foobar2000 --> Keces 151 DAC --> B22 --> HD800.   As I've moved to a new job...

So I've had the same setup more or less for five years now:   I have a 2TB external hard drive, which is connected into an ASUS netbook, which connects via USB to a Keces DAC, connected via component cables to a B22, which plugs into HD800s. (I know, the Keces needs to be upgraded!)  ...

Thinking of upgrading to an HD800 soon, does anyone have any experience driving them with a Darkvoice? Might just upgrade to a B22... what are some thoughts regarding this? Thanks!

Bump!

Anyone have any experience with this pairing? I'm running HD580s w/ Keces 151 DAC & Darkvoice 332, and am looking to upgrade to the HD800s. Will this combo hold me over for a while before I get the funds to upgrade my amp & source? Thinking of Beta 22 in about a year. Thanks!

I'm there!

Interesting... I've been checking out a lot of garage sales recently, but nothing has come up. Also, does anyone know of a nice desktop amp/DAC combo for cheap? Something like the total airhead... except with a tube or two. Maybe a larger solid state amp? I swear I've seen things of the sort...

Hey guys,   I'm moving off to college and can't take my headphone setup with me; I have in my possession right now a pair of Sextetts, but nothing to drive them. Any suggestions? I have to keep it under $150~ though, preferably.   Alternatively, I might be looking to get rid of the...

Well, typically, as I don't have time to do much "straight-up" critical listening anymore, comfort is of most importance to me. The next step, I believe, would be clarity and crispness of the sound. However, as I said, I'm usually doing other things while I have cans on, so absolute top-notch...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew any way to, say, map out all the sub-folders I have in a folder. Right now, I have my folders setup as: "Music" -> (artists) -> (albums). Any way to display this as a list or something in word without actually going through and typing in every single...

Thought I posted in this thread, but I'll be there! Will be my third meet!

Saw the set you guys got in Singapore, looked great! Too bad the Taipei show had to be cancelled...

Hey... that would be me in the third picture! The meet was great, although it might just have cost me a couple hundred dollars. Gotta pick up a pair of Sextetts or Ultrasones now!

Always loved that one.

Hey guys, I have a lot of albums on my computer that are in the form of a single FLAC file (ie. a 55 minute flac,) and a .cue file. When I try to split the tracks in foobar by using utils -> load cuesheet, sometimes, the "title" tag for each individual song doesn't carry over. I end up with 12...

Deerhunter is amazing. Also... their live performances are mesmerizing, to say the least.

I'm in for sure! Loved the last meet, & the Hilton Garden Inn is pretty nice!

Too early to start up the discussions again?

NIN and Prodigy are both excellent live.

Simply the best bang-for-your-buck headphone out there. Here's a picture of mine:

Whenever it is, I'm in!
