For some reasons, three years ago I got rid most of my gears like Bel Canto CD-2, DAC3, Violectric V200 amp as well as some cans like RS1 vintage and K701. Maybe I just spent more time on my new career, or I just lost interests on headphones.....It really doesn't matter now. Today when I took my...

Recently Im thinking to upgrade my phone amp but my budget is kinda limited....So here are my options: Grace Design M902 HeadAmp GS-1 Luxman P-1 Rudistor RPX-33 (my wallet wont be happy for this..) My phones are D7000 & RS1, so what im looking for is a SS amp with input source select (I...

Im curious about which ECC88/E88CC tubes you are using on the V8P and how they sound? Do we really need a CCa Grade tube for this amp?

Im after a decent CDP for my DAC1 and now I keen on getting a Bel Canto CD-2. I just wonder whether the build-in DAC module of CD-2 is better than DAC1 or not? How they sound for this combo?

Im looking for a decent CD transport for my headphone system. I own Benchmark DAC1 as a DAC so I only need the digital output of my new CD player. My budget is 1K5. I love Hip Hop/Instrumental/Jazz/Funk/Soul music. Thanks in advance

Im looking for a SS or hybrid amp for my d7000 and RS1. Anyone can gimme some advices about Cantate2 and V8P? Which one can drive them well?

Hi all, At this moment Im after an amp which can drive my low impedance headphones well. I use MG Head OTL MKIII regularly but I found that it did an unaccept job for my ms2i, rs1 & D7000 (under transformer mode). I know low impedance cans need high current so Im wondering whether tube amps...

I cant find them everywhere..... Anyone can let me know where I can get them on the phones? (not on the box) My RS1 are the oldest edition with buttons....

I only have one amp which is ASL MG Head OTL MKIII to drive my pre-loved HD650 and K701. Now I have already sold them and ordered a pair of Denon D7000. Now I just wonder any tried these combination before and how they sound? In my experience, MG Head OTL MKIII works terrific with high...

Anyone can help me for using New MacBook Pro's optical output? I use a generic adaptor to convert Toslink to 1/8 minijack and the Mac OS can identify it and change the audio output to digital output. But I found no signal actually has been "output" (no red light from the adapter) >< I dunno how...

My minidac doesnt have a firewire or USB interface......so, 1. Use MacBook Pro's optical output connect with Apogee Minidac 2. Buy a firewire interface sound card and then connect with them (expensive option) 3. Buy a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and then using wireless and coax for connection...

New MacBook Pro use FW800 as default firewire standard. I just wonder whether I can connect the Apogee Duet to it? Just get my new MBP and planning to buy a Duet. If not I has two other options. One is connect Apogee minidac via MBP's optical output. Anyone knows whether the digital output...

Right now Im using Foobar but for my mp3 collection I think iTunes should be better for manage issue. So I just wonder I can use ASIO or WASAPI or KS under iTunes?

Currently I only have m2i and K601, but I think it is time to do some upgrade. I will grab a pair of HD650, but that means I need to sell another cans as well. So guys, what do u think? Which ones I should keep? I cant afford 3 cans at one time.... Cheers Luther

Under my $300 budget, which amp is the best?? Recently I am thinking to buy a DarkVoice 336se. But I think I can listen from your guys for some suggestion. My currently HP are MS2 fatboy, and I will grab one pair of K601 in two weeks....

Hi guys, im so happy that i finally grab a pair of ms2i. But i still have some doubts..... Bought them from another head-fier who recabled these ms2i by ath-w2002 original cable and terminated by an 1m 3.5 jack I do not know how original ms2i sound like and I just curious that whether the...

I just want to upgrade my pc audio recently. Right now I am using X-Fi eXtremeMusic + Logitech Z-2300 THX Speakers. I want to buy a DAC/AMP for my system, but I don't know how to connect them. a DAC/AMP have inputs like RCA, Coaxial digital and Optical digital. But as I know there is no...

I am using AD700/ES7 headphones and just think about that whether I need an update from them... I am using iPod Video 5G/iPod Touch 2G + Corda Headsix for the source or maybe my X-Fi eXtreme Music SC and I listen Hip Hop most of times, but not that sort of pop ones Like Jazzy hip hop or...

Yeah I will go to China maybe beginning of next year, and im thinking that maybe i can grab one amp from there which can be cheaper from Aussie IMO. So anyone knows which one is the best for portable purpose?

anyone knows that do i need to burn in my new HP with or without an amp?
