Decent DAC around $100 or less?
PurpleAngel is right, stick with the Behringer you have for now, and do a little research before you choose which DAC you want to buy! You can do absolutely great for about $100, I loved the older Schiit Modi 2, so I'd strongly recommend the new one based on what I've heard about it!- Durza

Difference in Bluetooth quality from phones?
Adding to/clarifying the previous answer: DAC does matter if you use Bluetooth, just not the phone's on board DAC. The digital signal is sent over Bluetooth, and then converted by the DAC in your Bluetooth device(in this example, a Fiio Q5s). I noticed you said "with the same Bluetooth...- Durza

LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread
I've done repairs on a v2+. It's not fun. I hope you know how to solder! You can probably find a new jack on mouser, i was able to find the balanced one a while back.- Durza

Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones
Wait a second, I'm not refusing to acknowledge the issues, I just think that often times the people who aren't satisfied with something speak louder than those who aren't. Honestly it seems like there are serious qc problems, not just in this thread but in some other places people are acting...- Durza

Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones
I personally think that the quality control issues are being a bit overblown, at least for units that have come defective, that isn't to say that the 1060 will actually hold up for the full 5 years. I personally have had no issues with my pair. I think that those who have had defects are...- Durza

Help choosing a new amp after the little dot 1+
Thanks guys! I actually messed with the eq you recommended for a night. I personally didn't like it... It sounded nice and all, but I didn't enjoy it as much as zero eq no matter which cans I used. Just in case anybody cares: I instead opted to buy some new tubes for the 1+. Some people...- Durza

Help choosing a new amp after the little dot 1+
Sorry, I've honestly never listened to Norah Jones. Just not my style of music. I'm going to assume that Norah Jones needing some chicken soup is a bad thing. Would that be correct? Maybe be a little more specific and use just a tad less imagery lol. I really want some lcd's but they are out...- Durza

Help choosing a new amp after the little dot 1+
I know that, but say if you take a pretty standard headphone like a hd650 and do frequency response tests on a few different amps, there is no reason that wouldn't work to at least give a nice general picture of what is changing frequency wise.- Durza

Help choosing a new amp after the little dot 1+
Thanks for the replies! I hadn't thought about using an eq, I think I'll try that out again, I guess I forgot because last time i tried an eq it made everything sound terrible, like just poor quality. I'm sure that I just chose the wrong software that time. Any recommendations for a good eq? ...- Durza

Help choosing a new amp after the little dot 1+
Hey all, I bought a little dot 1+ a while back and have found that I barely use it. Maybe I'm a defective audiophile, but the differences between it and my solid state schiit magni 2 are simply minor to my ears. I like the subtle changes it provides, but it is honestly not worth using it over my...- Durza
