Hey everyone! Our next meetup in Vegas is happening on Feb 23, 2019 at the AV Boutique again. The last meetup was a ton of fun with half the space dedicated to listening and half to socializing (hence the "Listening Lounge" moniker). It was catered with an open bar and there was a lot of...

Hey everyone, thanks for coming out to the meet last weekend! It was great meeting a few of my fellow local Head-fi'ers. Please post your impressions from the meet of the cool (or lame) stuff you heard and any feedback you have for the next one (currently planned for Feb 23, 2019). Big thanks...

Hi all, I have been working with a local shop here in Vegas to try to setup a spot for a meet and it looks like everything is finally ready to go so here it is! If this goes well, we're hoping to hold more regular meetups like once a quarter maybe. Time: Saturday, November 17, 2018 from...

So I'm working on my first CMoy amp and I'm trying to build one from scratch rather than a kit. I'm following the tutorial here and there's something missing: when putting the board into the metal tin, should there be some kind of insulation or something so the contacts on the bottom don't...

EDIT 3/28/2018 - I changed the thread title since Maurice is recovering well! Thanks to everyone for their support! **************************************************************************** https://www.gofundme.com/maurice-and-suzzettes-medical-fund Hi all, I just saw on Facebook that...

Okay well things are clearly done a lot differently on the new forum than on the old. In an effort to answer some of the most common questions, I'm putting together a little Tips and Tricks list. For the record, I'm posting everything relative to the desktop site. I'm not a big mobile user...

I should not be getting email notifications of PM's from members that I have blocked.  I should not even be seeing the PM in my inbox.  That kind of cancels out the whole blocking thing.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but I can no longer see the names of who gave rep on my (or any) posts.  The email I get says "Another user has given you rep".  Here's a screen shot of how it looks:     I asked @AxelCloris if he was having the same issue and he confirmed.  ...

Hi all,   I'll be travelling a bit next month and my old Sana Clip Zip is acting up.  I decided it's probably time to get a real DAP.  The Fiio X3k (or X3 II) has everything I want, on paper:  USB DAC, digital output, expandability, useability.  I don't care about DSD support or really even...

Hi all,   I am looking for an affordable ("entry level") balanced DAC/Amp to use with my new LCD-2.2f.  I love my NFB-15 so I've been looking into the NFB-10 and NFB-28.  But I figure I need to at least see what other options are out there so I can do my research and feel comfortable dropping...

Any other head-fi'ers going to be in Seattle for PAX next weekend?  I'll be bringing my portable audio setup; maybe we can have a mini meet up!

So is there a head-fi community in Las Vegas?  I sometimes feel like I'm the only one here, but there are 2 million people in this town; I suspect there must be more.

Hi all,   I'm looking for a recommendation on a USB Amp/DAC to use at work with my SoundMAGIC HP100.  Currently, I'm using a Recon3D USB sound card with a Fiio E11 amp.  I think it sounds great with these headphones, however it's not the most compact, it's got lots of cables, and I can't...

Okay well, I just came into some cash and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on a new DAC/Amp.  I've been researching for a bit and I really like the Yulong D100 and the Audio-GD NFB-11 for good options with my AKG Q701.  Keep in mind that I'm not factoring price/value into this comparison...

So I am relatively new to Head-fi and I've been working on putting together a nice rig for music, now that I have my gaming rig down.  I don't have the means or desire to get into the really expensive stuff, I but I do want the best sound I can get for my money.  Given that, I've been looking...

So I want to upgrade my music at work.  I recently bought a cheap set of headphones (Sony MDR-MA100) to replace my REALLY cheap set of earbuds.  They're actually not too bad for $32.  I picked them because they were on the buying guide here and because the MA900 have such a great reputation.  ...

Hi all,   I have been perusing the headphone buying guide linked above and I'm still not quite sure what would work best for me.   I'm looking for a budget headphone for listening to music while I'm at work.  This will be nothing special, MP3's off my computer, but I want something better...

Okay, I'm still having problems understanding the audio issues with the Xbone, so let me try telling you my setup to see if this will work:   Currently, I have my Xbone piping optical out to my AVR and HDMI to my TV.  In theory, I'm getting DTS surround through my AVR since the Optical doesn't...

Hi all,   I'm new here and just wanted to post a quick intro.  I came here mainly looking for info on the Astra A50 for use with my Xbox One.   I found a LOT more information than that though (Mad Lust Envy's thread is amazing!).  I love sites like this that offer so much awesome information...
