CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread
Anyone have issues where changing the volume knob produces really loud static in the left driver/speaker? It only happens while changing the volume, but it has me worried.- Acknown3

CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread
Hey guys, I'm considering getting a CX because the two free upgrades on the site that shall not be named are very tempting. How does the CX match up to the Audinst HUD-mx2, Fostex HP-A4, and Matrix Mini-i PRO? Those are the other all-in-ones that I'm considering, but I can only find limited...- Acknown3

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I wouldn't entirely agree with this. I went from an Aune T1 and Amperex tube to an Asgard 2 Modi combo, and there's a pretty tangible difference. My headphones went from being extremely lush to somewhat neutral with a lot more detail, but there was an obvious tangible difference. Whether or not...- Acknown3

Zero Audio - ZH-DX200 Carbo Tenore | ZH-DX210 Carbo Basso (Carbon & Aluminium IEM) thread
Man, I'm so ready to drop $50 on these, but the QC issues have me really worried. Would you guys recommend holding off on these until they can sort the balance issues out?- Acknown3

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I owned the HD600 and I actually found it rather uncomfortable solely due to the clamping force. Maybe I just have a big head.- Acknown3

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
This might be a shot in the dark, but one of the obvious selling points of the HE-400i aside from the sound is the comfort. Does anyone have experience with the 400i and the AD900? Those are the first high-end headphones I bought, and their comfort still can't be matched by any other can, even...- Acknown3

NEW - Schiit Asgard 2
Those look efficient, although this also seems to provide enough space; I just wish I knew where to find them. Edit: Perhaps here? http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=spike- Acknown3

New Schiit Lyr: Hybrid 6W Headphone Amp. Yes. Six. Watts. RMS.
I'm planning on purchasing the Lyr 2 and two Amperex 7308 gold pins to go with the to-be-released HE-400i, but is a Modi a suitable DAC, or is it worth the extra $250 / $320 (with uber analog) to get the Bifrost? Seems like a huge jump in price for something that just happens to be the same size...- Acknown3

Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread
Has anyone compared these to the HE400? That's what I currently have, and I was thinking about upgrading to the HE400i/560, but these caught my eye. I'm mostly looking for comfort, soundstage, and subbass (love the HE400), and price isn't an issue.- Acknown3

Cool. I understand that I don't need the amp for volume purposes, but I've read a bunch of complaints about the Aune's amp.- Acknown3

Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***
Hey guys. I'm using the Aune T1 with an amperex 7308 gold pin and an HE-400. Is it worth adding a Magni or Vali to the setup? If so, which one? Thanks!- Acknown3

Magni or Vali with an HE-400?
Hey guys. I currently have an Aune T1 and am using an Amperex OG 7308 gold pin tube with it. While browsing a few of the threads, I've noticed that some people are saying the Aune's amplifier isn't "powerful" enough. I'm not sure if they're talking about the volume or the characteristic sound of...- Acknown3
