    $300 Cans for an extremely broad musical taste.

    New Sennheiser HD650's and this amp?

    Hello to all! My day of internet browsing has lead me here. I've been researching headphones for the past few weeks and finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Sennheiser HD650's. Well little did I know that the world of headphones was as intense as it is. I have long been into home theater...

    Do you collect PCDPs? Am I the only one?

    I am an avid collector (since 2003) and have in my possession pretty much all the PCDPs I ever wanted (sans Denon DCP-150). I even own the rare D-311 Gold & Silver (Limited 3,000) and the rarest of all PCDPs, the D-626; which you can plug your headphones to a remote unit and listen to it...

    Are stand-alone DACs really that much better than dedicated CD players?

      Looking at what I've got, a Sony NS975V and a DacMagic, I find the quality to be very close. I haven't A/B-ed the setup extensively, but from the testing I've done so far, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. The DAC retails for about $100 more than the Sony did (the Sony has been...

    Syncing iTunes/AAC files to Sony Walkmans with WMP 11?

    O mighty head-fier gurus:   This could be a long shot, but I'm sure the Gurus there would help me out on this in a way or another.   I've been using my sony A729 for ages and loving it. Two things about it annoy me heaps. One is i can't edit song info(rate with stars)/playlist on device...

    Alternative to ZUNE HD

    So I've decided that I want to buy CD's and convert them to FLAC myself. This is a bit ambitious and expensive, who knows if I'll actually do it.   Anyways, I absolutely love the ZuneHD interface and would hate to part with it. Doesn't play FLAC files though so I kinda have to.   Any...
