The Schiit Modi+ DAC isn't compatible with the Samsung S23 for some unknown reason. The Modi+ worked just fine with my Samsung S20, but when I try to stream audio (YouTube Music, Amazon Music) or stream videos (Amazon Video), it initially plays perfect audio for maybe 10 minutes or so. Then the...

Cancelled. Sorry folks. The Sat, Jan 28 meetup has been cancelled. DimitriSF

Can some explain why the Audeze LCD-2 Closed-back headphone cups why has 2 different cup versions? One has "Audeze" stamped on the cups. Another has an upside-down "V" (lambda?) stamped on it.

I recently bought a used Focal Stellia and find the mid-bass to be much too elevated. As a test, I tried the pads from my Focal Elex but that killed ALL the bass. Can someone recommend any pads that would *slightly* reduce the mid-bass, by a few dBs?

Hi folks. Last year, I hosted a Head-Fi get-together, where I tried out the Grado PS2Ke headphones. They reminded me of my modded JVC FD01 IEMs. They both sound neutral but detailed, which I think is the sound I prefer. That being said, I can't possibly drop $2,600 on a pair of cans; it's just...

Is it worth buying a DAP, if the following are true? 1) I'm using modded JVC HA-FD01 IEMs (similar to the new Drop JVC HA-FDX1 IEMs). 2) I like my IEM's neutral signature and don't need to apply any EQ. 3) I'm listening on a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, which easily drives these IEMs. 4) My phone...

San Francisco Head-Fi meetup is confirmed: Saturday, March 30, 2019, 11 AM - 2 PM. Free lunch and beverages will be provided, along with plenty of tables, chairs, outlets, free WiFi, and parking. Bring as much gear as you're comfortable in letting others audition. But, to ensure we don't run...

I need some recs for new or used IEMs, under $500, that DON'T require over-the-ear wires. (I don't like the feeling of wires behind my ears.) This leaves me with limited options. I own JVC HA-FX1100/1200 and enjoy them, but find the bass to be a bit too much, and mids and trebles somewhat...

Hi folks. I own a JVC HA-FX1100/1200 and have had a difficult time finding a tip that will fit my large ear canals. The included spiral-dots (large) actually fit great... initially. But when they warm up, in my ear, one of them just won't stay put. With the slightest head movement it pops right...
