    Anyone heard the Audio Technica ATH-ES3A?

    It's like the ES3's don't exist - I can't find any reviews or impressions online after extensive Google searching.  I'm looking for some decently sound isolating phones that are much more portable than my M50's (IEM's aren't my cup of tea), and these look like decent candidates over the...

    Bike to Work Week

    Today is the first day of Bike to Work Week, and Friday is Bike to Work Day. If there are any cyclists here who don't already commute by bike, you should start this week! There's lots of good information out there for beginners. It's sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists, but most...

    Why don't more USB DAC's have two outputs?

    So, as I'm looking for a usb DAC it is becoming frustrating to find one with two audio outs. Admittedly, I'm looking for a cheaper one - but this is pretty universal. If you have a computer and use both speakers and headphone amp this is a necessity. Sure, everyone here likes headphones, but I...

    Foregiving, non-bright closed cans?

Too bright and not enough bass for my tastes, which ironically enough, revolve around mostly punk/rock/alternative (what everyone recommends Grado for). Now, I need a set of closed phones since I'm...

    Apogee Duet vs. Seperate Components

    So it's obvious that everyone thinks the Apogee Duet is awesome. It's also pretty expensive however, which makes purchasing a separate amp difficult. My question is this: whats better, using the Duet's internal amp or buying separate components like a Super Pro 707 DAC ($80-$110) or Zero DAC...

    Setup that sounds good for MOST recordings/music

    So I'm pretty new to most of this stuff, but I've read a LOT of threads and have a pretty good feel for what's out there. I'm looking for a DAC/headphone amp combo that's forgiving to poor audio recordings and some 320kb/s mp3's. My concern is that a lot of of reviews for gear say they sound...

    iMac: Difference in USB vs Digital Out? Firewire?

    So I've read the new iMacs have a decent DAC built in, and the digital line out has pretty good SQ. If I want to use an external DAC, is there a difference between using a USB interface vs the digital line out? I figured there wouldn't be since their both digital, however, I'm not sure how much...
