Hello Head-Fi,   Intro:   Today I have come across quite the conundrum. Upon receiving my CEntrance Mini-M8 I was very eager to get it set up, so I did everything properly and followed all of the instructions perfectly. I am using the Mini-M8 via. a dedicated USB 2.0 port on my Windows 10...

Hello Head-fi'ers,   I am looking at getting a nice upgrade from my current 2011 Audio-gd setup and I am just curious which of the two listed below would be better. They would both be fed via. USB using my PC as a source and they would both be driving my custom Beyerdynamic T5p's.     Setup...

Hello Head-Fi,   I just wanted to jump in here and make a quick write-up about an annoying problem that I ran into recently and couldn't find a solution to anywhere on the internet. This will be a quick write-up so please feel free to ask questions.   Intro: (.TAK? What in the World is...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I am just posting this thread because I am currently stuck between which CLOSED-BACK headphone that I will be upgrading to from my fully modded Fostex TH-600s. I have narrowed it down to the Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime ($650 - $700) and the Beyerdynamic AKT5P / T5P ($550 -...

Hello Head-Fi'ers,   As the title of this thread suggests I am in the market for a new pair of closed-back headphones to wear as my daily driver at home and occasionally at the office. I prefer closed back headphones and am looking to purchase the "next step up" from my heavily modified Fostex...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I have been using my current set-up for a long time and I'm loving it. But frankly, I really miss having speakers sometimes. So, my question is, what cable(s) do I need to connect bookshelf / desktop speakers to the pre-amp outs on my Audio-GD C2.1? Or is it even possible...

Hello Head-Fi,   I am currently in quite the predicament. I am (and have been) searching for the ultimate cable upgrade for my Fostex TH600's. But alas, I am stuck between three options and I just cannot decide which is the best route to go; even after spending tons of hours pouring over the...

Hello Head-Fi'ers,   I just have a couple questions about upgrading the cable on my Fostex TH600's. I am kind of tossing around three options right now, I am looking at any Norne Audio cable, the Q-French Silk cable, or Moon Audio's Silver Dragon cable. I'm not sure which route would be best...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   Just thought I would drop in here and see if any of you have had thoughts/experience with Pink Faun Audio? I just happened to stumble upon their site today after searching for a better solution to streaming audio from my PC to my DAC. Their site is completely in what...

Hello Head-fi'ers, I've run into a bit of a problem with my Audio-gd gear. I use a C2.1, NFB-2, and the first version of the Digital Interface all originally purchased in 2011. Recently I purchased some jumpers to activate the 192 kHz up-sampling in my Digital Interface. But now I do not get...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I am the lucky new owner of an Audio-GD C2.1, NFB-2, and Digital Interface V1. I am seriously enjoying this combo as it is a HUGE improvement over my original Schiit Modi/Magni stack. But as the title of this thread suggests, I am desperately trying to find a replacement...

Hello Head-Fi'ers!   I just have a quick question here that I could not really find a direct answer to anywhere on the site. (My apologies if I missed it though.) But my question is, how or where can I get true FLAC files of all my favorite music? I have some but they are so hard to come by...

Hello Head-Fier's,   I just recently sold my trusty Schiit Magni + Modi and am looking to purchase a size-able (be able to hear the difference) upgrade as a post-Christmas present to myself. I am currently using a pair of AKG Q701's but I will hopefully be upgrading to a pair of Mr. Speakers...

Hey everyone! So I've been listening to my Q701's for a short time now... (200+ hours) and I am just frustrated by the bumps on the headband. I can wear them for three to four hour sessions max and then the pain becomes unbearable! (It is only the top/center bump that pains me) I love these...
