I haven't run into this before, but I'm trying to replying to a member who is selling a pair of headphones. Haven't been able to reply all day to him, or anyone else. Server error occurred. Anyone else?

Hey all, I know I've seen some comparisons on these two, but I am still highly indecisive and hoping to hear from more people, or in more detail, what they think of these two amps comparatively. Am I giving up much planar current by going with the HPA-4? Is the HPA-4 really cleaner sounding than...

I'm trying to make a shortlist of high-end solid state balanced amps with a 3K usd budget. I've already decided on what tube amp I want to sell my gear off towards, being the Cayin HA-6A. I haven't done nearly the amount of research towards SS amps. Currently I have the 789, which I find a...

I'm finally taking the plunge on building some headphone cables as I've started using my AKG 712 a lot more, which has an awful cable. Figured I'd make a balanced cable for the Sundara and HD6xx while I'm at it. I compiled a list on redco and also paracordplanet but shipping can be a bit of a B...

Okay, so this is an aspect of this hobby that I have an absolute weakness with. Here, I am absolutely lost. What I am trying to do; Hook up multiple amps, through a loki, to multiple dacs. So as it stands, I have 5 stand alone amps right now which all take turns feeding into a amp/dac combo...

Hey all, I'm wondering what would be the best/cheapest way to gain the ability to connect my DACs to my PC with optical, which has a motherboard lacking optical and s/pdif. I'm happy with usb, I'd just like the option as I'm running low on open ports and would like to also compare for any...

Hey all, having a bit of an issue deciding on a dac but I've narrowed it down to these too, aside from the Airist Audio R2R that I'm waiting on another drop for. I don't necessarily need another dac, I'm interested in a R2R for sure though but I'm looking now as I'm running into an issue of...

Hi all, just got back into the hobby (the research/buying aspect) recently. At the top of my list is the THX AAA 789, Monoprice Liquid Platinum, El Stack, and Jot with Modi. Darkvoice is a consideration too, but in last. Would be great to hear some feedback from anyone who's used multiple of...

So I've been using foobar for some time, using WASAPI event generally throughout my usage. Now, I don't know if it's something I unknowingly did, but this past week I have noticed that playback gives priority to anything but foobar. For example, I'll be browsing any old web page or Steam and if...

I'm looking for feedback on people's too choices for analytical headphones with up most detail and clarity. So far, my watched items for such are the beyerdynamic DT 1990, Audio-Technica AD-2000x, HD800/s and the Ether Flow open or closed. Currently own (for those on mobile) the HE400i, K712...

So I've kind of gone deep into this hobby. I'd like to hear some suggestions from people on what I should add to my collection. I'm looking to get 2 more headphones, at least one of them being planar. The HD 6xx and Ether Flow are the top two, Flow replacing the LCD-X and 4 due to cost and what...

So, I had this issue about a month back where primarily while browsing the internet my audio would crackle. I did some searching, ended up finding a bios tweak that fixed the problem. Now, it's started up again and seems to happen while browsing the internet, or minimally while playing a game...

Hey all, I'm just wondering what the general rule(s) of thumb for changing pads out are without damaging/breaking anything. This will be attempted with (starting in order) k712 pro, he400i, X2, 6xx with Brainwavz pads. Thanks, - a newbie.

Hey all, so I've been researching the differences yet still would like more input. Currently, I have the HD 598, HE400i and a 712 Pro showing up tomorrow hopefully, though it was supposed to show up last month too.. lol. I'm using a Creative X7 as an amp/dac and ordered 4 new op-amps, and...

Hi all, so I recently ordered the Little Dot 1+ and Mullard M8100 tubes off of Massdrop. Then, the Darkvoice came up on there. I understand that the majority thought is to also upgrade the tubes on the DV, but I have also read somewhere that the DV is not made for low imp cans. As someone with...

Im looking into preferably open-back, but ill also definitely consider closed-back cans that deliver amazing bass between 200-600 dollars. I absolutely do care about the rest of the range, comfort and imaging. The X2 has been what I am leaning towards so far, but I'm a junior head-fier for a reason.

Hey, so I just ordered the Klipsch RP-160m bookshelf speakers. I have a JVC THG30 sound system http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028267&page=3 I  would plan to replace the left/right speakers with the new Klipsch, but my question starts with the ohms. The Klipsch are 8 ohm...

Hi all, so this morning I just received my HifiMan HE400i. I'm currently using the Creative Soundblaster X7 as my Amp/DAC and that has been paired with my Sennheiser 598's. On the X7 thread, many people were suggesting to each other that the high gain setting is simply better, gives everything...

Hey all, audiophile noob here. I recently got myself the Sennheiser HD 598 which is running through a Asus ROG Phoebus sound card. My game was changed going to open-back and a well known name, so yesterday I went ahead and also ordered the HiFiMan HE400i and AKG 712 Pro. I signed up for the...
