If so, I'm in the same boat. Perhaps we can at least meet and talk about headphones and related paraphernalia.

Anybody have any idea how these two compare? I doubt I'll be playing much ultra high resolution or DSD so not worried much about limitations of S/PDIF. I'm only just recently coming around to the idea that digital sources matter, but I'm still not sure how much. Can a $350 DigiOne approach the...

[RESOLVED] I'm trying to use my Micro iDSD BL as a USB to SPDIF converter. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I'm using a Windows PC as a USB source. The iDSD is connected via coaxial from the digital output port to a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC coaxial input. No sound comes out. Thanks...

Is there anyone out there who has heard both of these devices (or even all three)? I've heard the Moon and I was very impressed. It really bellowed out those deep notes like I love and sounded great with both my HD800S and LCD-3. It's probably a bit out of my price range, though. Master-9 or...

Hi all, I currently own a Schiit Mjolnir 2 w/ LISST and three sets of tubes. My headphone line up is a pair of LCD-3s and HD-800s. I've never really been mesmerized by it and am looking to upgrade. I really, really loved the Ragnarok but I'm sort of holding off on that for a while until a new...

Currently using a Schiit Mjolnir 2 with solid state tubes and looking to upgrade. Any experience with Bryston BHA-1? what else should I consider in the 1300-1700 price range? I had a Ragnarok briefly that I had to return due some malfunction secondary features, but I enjoyed the sound...

I'm thinking to purchase a Schiit Ragnarok in the near future, but it's been out for a few years now and the Yggdrasil was recently updated. As it's quite an expensive piece of kit and the resale value would likely drop precipitously if there were a "Ragnarok 2", I'm hesitant to buy one at the...

Hi all, I'm not looking to break the bank on an upgrade cable (already broke it on the LCDs), but I was wondering if anyone know a great value cable (approx 8-10ft, 4-pin XLR) for Audeze. I hear good things about Black Dragons, but didn't want to spend that much. Ideas?

I had the opportunity to test out an $800 cable with LCD2s and 3s. It was better and I liked it. However, I'm not willing to pay $800 for a cable. I hear the Silver Dragon is good but that's still like $500. Any great bang-for-buck cables?

Hi there, I'm considering buying an OPPO HA-1 DAC and integrated headphone amp because it meets all of my requirements like few devices do. 1) High quality DAC 2) High quality headphone stage 3) Two sets of analog inputs, at least one of which has Home Theater Bypass function 4) Analog output...

Head-fi has several threats about how Schiit amps fitted with LISST tubes compare to rolling glass tubes in the same devices, but how does the Mjolnir 2 compare with other solid state only amps? I guess I sort of like the idea of tube rolling, but not if that means I can't also enjoy a very high...

I've just got a new Gumby and up next is a new headphone amp pairing. The Mjolnir 2 is an obvious option since that Schiit matches. But how good of an amp is the Mjolnir really as compared to other amps in that price range? I don't absolutely neeeed it to match (though it would be nice). I have...

I'm in the process of upgrading some stuff and I'm really, really tempted to go for the Nova 300 because it just seems to do a great job at so many things. But my alternative is to the route of separate components, including a Schiit Gungnir MB and Mjolnir 2 stack. I want both an excellent...

I'm trying to come up with a solution for both a headphone amp and poweramp. I'll save the details, but I need a poweramp with multiple, selectable inputs. The Schiit Rangarok is an excellent headphone amp that will power speakers with 50W/channel into 8ohms, 100W/channel into 4. Has anyone...

There seems to be some evidence that coenzyme Q10 can help. Study 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28239674 Study 2:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27632426 I was wondering if anyone else has looked into this. Nick

I'm thinking of upgrading my DAC to a Gumby. Right now I have a Schiit Jotunheim, which I will continue to use as an amplifier (at least initially) via balanced input. I'm leaning toward the gumby because of its beauty and plentiful inputs and outputs. In addition to running to my headphone amp...

How long do I have to be a member in order to do that? The welcome email said to post here first so I'm starting with this. I'm a real guy. Just want to sell some cans so I can upgrade.
