    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...

    CD players with digital inputs to function as a DAC

    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...

    Cable help request - kind of unique situation

    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...

    Switching Beyer 770 and 880 pads - what a difference!

    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...

    Thoughts on theaudiocritic.com's comments about amps?

    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...

    White noise/static when using my Corda 2 Move with Denon receiver!

    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...

    Should I darth my 770s or get a Corda Move?

    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...

    Darth Beyer - do different woods have different audio properties?

    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

    Recommend sub-$150 closed headphone for office listening

    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...

    Beyer 770 headband comfort question

    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...
