I went from Windows phone to Samsung 8+ this month and I love all the content apps. I have a Fios X3 that sounds okay, but I want to move to the content available on Android. So, what would be a good starting place for a powerful amp to drive my unique melody custom IEM's. I have a full balanced...

Having went through 5 different dac amp combos on my lcds I can tell you I kept looking for more power until I got to the audio-gd nfb6. I went from yamamoto ha-01 single ended triode, to woo wa6se, to violectric v181, to audio gd- nfb6. I finally felt like I had the dynamics I liked once I was...

An update on system choices. So I sold the Ref 5 DAC and bought a violectric v200 to go full balanced with the v181. After 3 months, I felt the system lacked dynamics, big sounds just did not deliver like they did on my home setup. I knew I was lacking some energy. So I sold the v181 and v200...

I am having a lot of trouble getting my Pandora to work regularly on my Alpine BT-147 with built-in Pandora support through my phones BT connection (Phone is Motorola Atrix HD with Android 4.1.1).   The issue is that the Pandora does not work over BT well. I can get Amazon MP3 to work, and...

UPDATE FROM MY PREVIOUS POST: Having been convinced that I loved the 32 Bit Sabre DAC & 32 Bit USB implementation from Audio-gd, I went ahead and sold my 11.32 two weeks after writing this... Then I went back to Audio-gd and bought an NFB-6 AMP and NFB-1.32 DAC. I have had this fully...

I offered to kick in some money, but have not heard anything about how to pay. Do we just bring the cash with us, or is this going to be a paypal thing.    Also, I am coming from Irvine area and can take one or two people with me if anyone is still in need to transportation.   I am...

I have a hisound studio 3rd anni edition and UM Miracles and I am looking for just a bit of a boost in power to get the UM to be a bit more lively and I want it to be small so the vibe is very appealing. The Studio is 80mw output I believe. Do you think the vibe will give enough boost in...

LCD2 owner here who has gone through quite a few swaps to find the sound I like. Went from Creative X-fi to Claro sound card and then optical to several DACs and DAC/AMP combos. including a $2,500 adventure into Violectric land...   A couple months ago, I tried a DAC/AMP from Audio-gd (have...

Have you checked your USB sound settings in "control panel" on your Win 7 laptop? Go to Control Panel, Sound, and Playback. Click on the Audio-gd device, right-click and go to properties. Under properties, check the Advanced Tab. See what your settings are. What is selected there. Try...

I'd like to go. I can contribute up to $40 towards cost. Also, I just ordered an Audio-gd Compass 2 (32 Bit USB & 32 Bit ES9018 DAC). I can bring that with my LCD2 with 4 wire norse cable and HD-25 MKII Adidas. I also have a TT setup. I did not see any mention of vinyl. I have a ProJect...

Congrats on your choices and your process of decision making. I was cringing as I was reading through the posts which unfortunately I did not begin to read until minutes ago and so my feedback does not matter much now as you have made your decisions.   That said, I just feel compelled to...

I have LCD2 rev1 and recently switched from foam headband to the leather one and the fit is much more comfortable for me. You should check to see if the screw on the hanger is tight also. I check my every few months as they loosen over time and wiggle down a bit. I get them set on my head so...

NFB11.32 with TCXO for USB chip Impressions   Background: I previously owned the Ref 5 (with a WA6SE Amp), and NFB2 from Audio-gd and had moved to Violectric V800 DAC with V181 Amp because I wanted to have a balanced setup with my LCD2.   I recently sold my V800 DAC and my V181 is for...

Has anyone compared the Z2 to a HiSound Device?   Last week I received my HiSound Studio 3rd Anniversary Edition (long ***** name) and I am underwhelmed with the sound signature. For me, the base sound signature, without trying to alter it is a very thin, weak sound, lacking dynamics and...

I tried to buy it and as soon as I hit add to cart the site frooze up and now the product details are gone. I wonder if they had a big response and pulled the plug on it. I was really looking forward to buying it.

Wow! I have been thinking of buying the DX100 but this thread has made me very concerned about doing it now.   So many people connect the DX100 to external amplifiers, is that because the DX100 is not able to drive IEMs sufficiently?   I have a pair of UM Miracles on the way, and I was...

Basshead here also. Dubstep, D&B, 2-step, brostep   I liked the bass on my D5000 and D7000. Good punch, but not clean (flabby) on deep "wobbly" bass in the drops.   Sold them and bought Audio Technica ATH-M50S and then ATH-PRO700MK2. Both of these were bass-bombs! Great, deep, bass with...

I am looking to replace my Omega Claro PCI card with the next step up in quality for my desktop rig and I can use help please.   My chain back from headphones is: LCD-2 ->Violectric HPA V181->Violectric V800->Coax->Claro Omega->ASIO->JRiver Media Center->Win7 (64)   I am happy with all...

I am listening to my LCD2 with Norse 4 wire (Balanced) to Violectric V181 amp and V800 DAC (balanced amp and DAC) and I am interested in hearing from anyone who has listened to the HE6 vs. the LCD3.   I A-B compared the HE6 to LCD2 when I had my Woo WA6SE and Audio-gd Ref5 (both single...

I cut slits in the dynamat (about 3, 1 inch long slits) to do exactly what you say. I definitely decompressed some of the boominess I was getting in the bass. I use museum putty (which is tacky, not sticky) to plug the holes sometimes. Quote:  

Thanks all who reviewed and commented on this topic. I too love the impact and dynamics of bass but sadly am looking to sell my LCD2 because they are not office friendly. I realize now, I have to have closed back cans to enjoy the sound levels I like in a quiet office environment. I was...

Update: I use the V800 and V181 balanced so I needed a balanced cable. I bought the Norse Audio 8 Wire and was very happy with the build quality and sound quality of the cable although it is a bit heavy. Last week I got the AproditeCU Zeus OCC quad 22 cable and I am really happy with it...

Oh man!!! Your young man, you should go!!! I got the V800 in Wednesday so I will bring the V181 & V800 with a nice sounding AproditeCu Zeus DNA Helix Quad22 cable (I am liking it more that my beloved Norse Audio 8 Wire right now). I also have the LCD2 with the du=ynamat extreme closed back...
