Hi all, So I bought the DF Black DAC to pair with my Shure SE535 but I am not hearing any noticeable difference against my built-in laptop DAC. Only less noise which was already very minimal and I doubt one can hear such quiet noise when listening to music. Hence I want to buy something like...

Folks, The previously Bluetooth adapters from Shure kind of sucked big time, this time they dropped something pretty nice, at least it looks good and it has BT 5.0. True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter - Compatible with detachable Shure Sound Isolating™ Earphones Thinking to pull the trigger on...

Hi I'm looking for a portable Bluetotoh amp/dac to use between my Shure SE535 and my iPhone/Mac. Size wise I'm looking for a credit-card size AMP or a little bit bigger. But before I'm pulling the trigger on one, I'd like to hear your opinions. For example, does Bluetooth affect sound quality...

Friends, I am about to pull the trigger on a good occasion hd800s. It will be my first pair of open cans. I can buy them together with the HDVD 800 at a fairly OK price. They're made for each other so they must be the best loving partners :) But honestly, my technical knowledge is rather thin...

Hello friends, Sure lot of you know this guy on YouTube called Z Reviews? He has done a bunch of sounds demo's which at first I thought doesn't make a lot of sense. But actually it does help me hearing the big differences between some cans without actually having them on my head. I plugged in...

Friends, After reading a lot positive things about this unit -and after reading many, many negatives about smartphone dacs (and even the internal dac of high-end laptops like the MacBook Pro are considered rubbish)- I decided to buy the Dragonfly Black 1.5 to pair with my Shure SE535. I'm...

Friends, I'm about to pull the trigger on a high end open headphone that's on my current shortlist. In order to drive those 300+ ohm cans, I need a decent AMP and I think this one will do the job: http://www.schiit.com/products/valhalla-2 Till this stage, nothing thrilling. But I have only...

Hi all, What is a good DAC(+AMP) to connect to my laptop that holds a lot of CD rips (flac). It needs to be able to drive 300ohm headphones. Does this mean I need to hook up the DAC to a separate AMP? Thanks a lot!!

Hello fellows,   So I finally decided to go with the DT770 headphone. I'm using a MacBook Pro with a Creative Xmod. It's an external audio processor and I'm not sure if this will be good enough to drive my DT770 @ 80ohm?   Could you guys give some advice on this? I love good music...

Hello there   Today I tried some headphones at the Apple store. I really loved the fit and isolation of the Dre Executive. Build quality is great but the sound was not as good as I had hoped and very expensive (300 bucks).   I am certain there must be better headphones for the buck. It...
