Looking for help on what to use as a source!   Current setup: I currently use a Fiio X5 via coaxial to a SImaudio Moon 230HAD DAC/amp.   Music: I've ripped my CD collection to FLAC and listen to that almost exclusively. I don't currently listen to any hi-res but may in the future.   If I'm...

I'm looking to potentially buy a CD player but I'd like one with digital inputs so I have the flexibility of using my iPod -> Pure i20 as a source as well. It seems at the ~$1500 price range the options are limited. Does anyone have anything to add to this list? Or any experience with these to...

OK guys, I've been going in circles with all the research I've been doing and reviews I've been reading so I thought I'd reach out for help. Please help recommend a system for me!   Current setup: iStreamer ->K.I.C.A.S. Caliente->LCD-2 Rev. 2 I've noticed recently that using my cheap...

Hi Head Fiers! I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with a sort of unique situation. I want a recommendation on .5m RCA cables but with one key need - I want something where the connectors don't have insane grip. I'm listening on a semi-portable rig that I pretty much assemble for every use...

I've got a Beyer 770, new 880s and Darths at my house now and I'd like to try some different options with the pads. I did a pretty lengthy search and I couldn't find any post that said exactly how to switch the pads. Sorry to be so exacting if this is an easy/obvious switchout, I just want to...

I saw a link in another post to The Audio Critic (The Audio Critic) and I read a few of their back issues recently. It looks like Aczel has some pretty strong comments about amps (among other things). To paraphrase: An amp is an amp and double-blind testing shows that no one can accurately...

I just received my Corda 2 Move and I love it but I have a question. My setup is PS3 -> Denon A/V Receiver -> Corda connected via the Denon's headphone jack. I set it up so the volume on the Corda is maxed and I increase the volume on the Denon until I get to the desired level. When I do...

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I looked into getting a replacement genuine leather headband pad for my 770 and I found a few things. - Celia is no longer at Beyerdynamic. All inquiries should now go through Anthony Zammit. Anthony Zammit Sales and Marketing Support Specialist -...

Probably a strange question but I'm having a hard time choosing between the two and I only have money for one right now. I want the best audible difference for my dollar. Which will give it to me - darthing my Beyer 770s or buying a Corda Move amp + ALO dock cable? I listen on a PS3->Denon...

I'm considering making my 770s into Darth Beyers and I was wondering - do the different woods that Larry offers have different audio properties? Or is the difference in price just due to the type and scarcity of the wood used? Scott

I wanted to avoid making this post as I didn't want to see "use the search function" responses but, after almost two weeks of research, I can't make up my mind. So I'll put it out there - I recently moved offices to a completely open environment (no privacy) and I need a pair of closed phones...

Long time reader and first time poster here. I bought the Beyer 770 / 80 ohm about 6 months ago thanks to Head-fi and I love them except for the comfort. Even though the band is nice and padded it still feels like it's digging into the top of my head. I've read up about a replacement...
