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...- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix

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- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix

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...- kingmajix
