    Tube CD Player?

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I've started a thread.   As many of you know, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool analog guy. However, I realized a long time ago that some of my favorite music simply isn't available on vinyl, and there's nothing I can do about it. So, I've got to occasionally make due...

    USB DAC suggestions needed for Senn 650 / KICAS amp?

    My DAC is the weak link in my current rig and I hope to upgrade it to meet the level of the other components.  It also broke down on me recently, and while I may be able to have it fixed by a buddy, I'm still thinking about a new DAC.  I currently am running a Super Pro DAC707 DIY paired with a...

    Has anyone compared the Dacport to the HRT Music Streamer II+?

    I'm in the process of setting up a portable rig which currently includes a Ray Samuels SR-71B amp.  So now I'm looking for a portable DAC that can run on USB or battery power.  Obviously I have no need to a combo DAC/Amp, so I've narrowed my options down to 2: the Dacport LX or the MS II+.  Has...

    Looking to upgrade

    Introductions first, I'm a newly head-fi enthousiast I guess, I've been using an ATH-AD700 for around 3 years and was very, very satisfied. I first used them for gaming exclusively, where they really shined with excellent left-right seperation and majestic soundstage. So recently I've bought me...

    Hey guys!   I just bought my new Beyerdynamic T1 headphones. They are simply amazing.   Now I need a very good new amplifier for them, currently I'm using the Audinst HUD-MX1 but I think they tend to highlight treble, which they do too much.   This is my setup:   Beyerdynamic T1...

    There are a few threads and posts floating around here discussing the V-DAC II, but I couldn't find a dedicated review thread.  So, I'm starting one.   I recently took delivery of the V-DAC II and put it through the paces.  I have a good feeling for its sound and wanted to share them here...

    LCD-3 single-ended vs balanced

    Hi, I just got the LCD-3 last week and I've been using it single-ended, with a pretty cheap DAC and AMP [Musical Fidelity's V-DAC II and V-CAN II].  I'm looking to upgrade my amp first, and don't want to spend over $2,000.  I'm finding more single-ended options than balanced in this price range...
