Hi everybody!! Oh my Denmark huh? Hows the weather there?? I'm a new member as well and live near Chicago. This seems like a great site. Welcome

 
My name is Morten. I live in Denmark where I am studying to become a chiropractor (finished June '17) and I stumbled into this vast vault of useful info and awesome gear-heads just a few days ago!

I am an aficionado of quality in many forms... It started out with mechanical watches.. Which was joined by writing with fountain pens... that got accompanied by straight razor (wet) shaving... and now that my beloved Sony IEM's was snatched up by a bike-wheel.... I'm looking into the world of quality of sound..... *wallet goes and cries in the corner*


I am looking forward to learning more about the finesse of SQ and the enjoyment of having those A-HA moments with music and hi-fi.

Hello,

I'm Barry from the great state of New Hampshire :) My love of music has been reinvigorated over the past two years thanks to the PONO hi-res music player. Since then I have been trying different headphones and IEMs to help me reach music nirvana. I think I am near there. I just wish I would start seeing more remastering of classic rock and folk albums in hi-res flac. But I have a healthy catalogue for now.

Right now I have the PONO coupled with a set of Cardas A8 ear speakers. I'm liking this combo, especially with the PONO balanced cables.

Anyway, that's my story. I'm no audiophile, although I have learned a lot about audio over the past two years. I am here to absorb from others and maybe note a few findings of my own.

Hi DrumsFillo,

Although I am a PONO owner/enthusiast, I bought my wife a FIIO X1 last year. I was impressed with the sound, so much so I was considering picking up an X5 for myself to back up my PONO, for when I am out on a hike or jog as the PONO isn't designed for that activity. And they both support the same FLAC files.

Hello everyone.  I'm a new member though I've been following some of the threads for a few months.
 
I recently got into the audiophile world.  Starting modestly with the following gear:
 
Philips SHP-9500 headphones
Onkyo H500BT headphones
Bose QC-15 headphones
Bose QC-20 headphones
 
FiiO E12 amp
FiiO E6 amp
 
My source is my iPhone 6s while traveling and my desktop PC with Realtek DAC supporting 7.1 dolby surround. I also have a Acer Aspire S7 laptop that has Dolby Digital Plus.
 
I play Tidal HIFI streams and high-resolution FLACs from online stores/CD rips as well as a couple of DSD sources using Foobar2000.
 
Looking forward to joining the discussions!

Hi,
 
I'm head-fi's newest rookie and I'm from Michigan. I've been lurking on the forums for a year or two now and finally decided to join. I consistently do intensive research on the site and have used that knowledge to invest in better headphones. I started with Bose TriPort, then moved to KRK KNS6400, and days ago stepped up to Beyerdynamic DT1350. The Beyers have changed my (audio) life. I am really starting to feel like a novice audiophile. I'm working on my source audio too, ripping hundreds of CDs to FLAC and trying to decide on a DAP. In the interim, I'm using my laptop and foobar2000.
 
I'm eager to continue my education in high-fidelity sound.

Hi all.

I'm John from Dallas. Got my start with the Sony mdr-v6 a decade ago. Was happy with those for awhile, have since moved onto the Fidelio X2, the ATH-R70x and the Sennheiser 598. Loving them all but I had to get an Uber Schiit stack for the ATs.

Hope to learn more as i continue along with this hobby.

Welcome John. Those Fidelio's are a great headphone too. Looks like you have a nice stable there, hope you're enjoying the music!
