Last question for you guys with the 13s, do you ever find the 13s to be too analytical in places on recordings? For some reason I'm afraid the neutrality might take away from genres like ambient music where certain textures or layers of sound flow together and sound warm and euphoric to a...

Thanks for the opinions. It looks as though I now have to save up for the 13s.

Haha, how about sound-wise?

Is there anything that the 11 does that is potentially seen as a plus over the 13?

I've been constantly reading through the reviews of the UE11/JH11 and the JH13 and I am taken aback. I'm considering purchasing an IEM and have now come down to either the JH11 or the JH13. I'm wondering if anybody could lend me some advice based off of their listening experiences with one or...

Find anything on how this would do with the k701? Thanks for the reply, Maniac.

I'm looking for a good USB AMP/DAC combination for my k701s to really bring the bass out in them and to properly power them. I listen to music from my computer a lot (everything ranging from classical to jazz hip-hop) so I've been looking at some options like the KECES DA-152. If you have any...

Do you think the Keces might make a good pairing with a pair of phones like the k701?

Although I don't currently own it, I keep hearing the gilmore lite is a great way to balance the HD 600s. I just purchased the 600s recently and am eyeing the gilmore lite like nobody's business...now all i need is the cash.

I've been wondering about the Gilmore lite vs. the novo, thanks for the insight.

Unfortunately I don't have an SPDIF out on my laptop so I guess I'd have to settle for a USB to SPDIF adapter.

Is an rca cable to a headphone output on a laptop more or less favorable than some other connection methods such as toslink, etc? Thanks.

I have a soundcard for a notebook with optical in/out and SPDIF out, which would you recommend I use? Sorry for all the questions.

What would be the best way to connect a soundcard to the Zero?

What exactly does transport mean? Sorry, I'm still new to this audiophilia.

Just so I can get this straight, regardless if I've upgraded my soundcard the Zero will bypass it with it's own sound? In other words, does it even matter if I upgrade my soundcard? Thanks

So even if I've upgraded the soundcard the Zero will bypass it? Sorry for all these questions, you've been a really big help in my purchasing decisions, les_garten, thanks a lot.

Dumb question, If I'm trying to get the best sound quality in stages, should I first buy a Zero (DAC/Amp) first or a dedicated amp (No DAC)? I would be connecting it to an X-fi notebook soundcard if this helps at all.

If I decided to do the whole upgrade path with buying an Earth HDAM, LT1364, and Alps pot, how much do you think this would cost compared to what Lawrence is selling?

If I wanted to use the Zero as a DAC and pair it with something like the Little Dot MKV, what would you guys recommend I upgrade in the Zero DAC? Thanks, -djchaz

Also, would something like the Zero's DAC totally cancel out the DAC of a soundcard? Probably a stupid question.
