    Issue posting a review?

    I was sent a Burson Cable + and I wrote a review and posted it in the Burson Cable+ reviews thread, but it's not showing up. So I tried posting it again, and again it did not show up. I want to fulfil my end of the bargain since I received this cable free of charge. Can a moderator please help...

    Review by 'mistersprinkles' on item 'Burson Audio Cable+'

    *Disclaimer: I received this as a free review sample and did not pay for it I have been testing the Burson Cable+ PRO A2R 3.5mm to RCA cable. I used it between my iphone and my imac (both standard 3.5mm outputs on these devices) and my schiit magni 2 amp. First I listened using a standard...

    Burson Cable+ PRO A2R (my thoughts)

    You are correct. I had it plugged in when I used it and assumed that I was charging some battery but when I unplugged the USB I realised that the device has no battery :P

I used it between my iphone and my imac (both standard 3.5mm outputs on these devices) and my schiit magni 2 amp. First I listened using a standard...

    Oppo PM-3, help me pick a DAC/AMP

    I'm borrowing my friend's DAC and I bought a used Magni 2. Non uber. Sounds quite excellent.

    Oppo PM-3, help me pick a DAC/AMP

    I'm getting Oppo PM-3's. Will be for desktop use. I know, other headphones are "better" but I like these :). Considering the following options: Odac+Schiit Magni 2 Dragonfly Red Dragonfly black+Schiit Magni 2 Schiit Modi+Schiit Magni 2 Which of these options would be preferable? Also how...

      I am almost 100 percent certain that you are looking at 24/192 for the magni/modi (whichever one of those is the DAC). There is an addon box for $149 that upgrades the DAC to DSD (native) capabilities.

      You would prefer bright to warm? I am more inclined towards warm. I am by no means an anti-brightite. I like it just fine, but given the choice I will take warm every time. Glad you enjoy your unit. The Asgard, which is a step or two up from the stack, is quite bright, but not annoyingly so.

    Schiit Asgard + HE400i

    Rick, thanks, do you have the 400i's? I'd prefer not to put down the cash for an H10 if it's not going to blow my mind.

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I'm using a Schiit Asgard (version 1) that I got second hand for a comically cheap price. It's in mint condition. The guy had upgraded to the Lyr and just wanted to unload this thing.  How much of a difference does it make? Well, you can't compare apples to oranges. The Fulla is a low end...

    I've had HE400i's since June. I finally picked up a headphone amp and they have really come alive. It's great.

    Schiit Asgard + HE400i

    I've been running my HE400i's off my Marantz integrated's headphone out with very mediocre results. I picked up a used Schiit Asgard (version 1) for super cheap. It was so cheap I couldn't help myself. I realize that a higher output amp such as a Gustard H10 would better serve me, but I picked...

      You haven't lived until you've listened to DSD my friend. Get a portable player that natively supports DSD and get a DSD DAC for home use. You'll love it. Going from 44Khz to over 2Mhz sample rate is just so amazing. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying DSD on anything  better than my...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

    They sound good DYNAMICALLY for movies, but honestly, they sound an awful lot like a cheap speaker with a blown tweeter to me, leading me to think that they are indeed blown. Honestly, whoever blew them probably noticed that they blew them and didn't say anything. I am shipping these back to...

    What does rolling tubes mean? I hate the look of the Ember but I am willing to buy whatever will give me the best performance. The Ember and H10 are the same price for me.  How much do the GOOD tubes for the Ember cost?

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Thanks for that. I appreciate it.  I guess I'll go with the initial recommendation I got and go with the H10. Though somebody did say that they liked their burson with the 400i better than the H10...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

      Hi David, I have 400i's and I am in search of an amp. Currently I use the HP output on my marantz PM5005. It is highly mediocre. I don't want the hassle of having to buy and change out tubes. How much better is the Ember than the H10? If it is more than 25% better I think I will go against my...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

    I'd like to think that if I can make a living assembling and troubleshooting computers, I can hook up a 3.5mm TRS cable :).  Don't get me wrong, I very greatly (beyond words, actually) appreciate that, through my forum membership, I was able to use these headphones at home for a week... well...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

    Guys we're talking about a pair of 3.5mm TRS connectors. They're either in the socket or they're not. Obviously the threaded end goes into the amp and the other end goes into the headphones. I'm convinced now that there is something wrong with these. There's no way they're supposed to sound THIS...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

      It is possible that there is something wrong with the demo unit. Maybe somebody amped them too hard and turned them up to max and damaged something? I don't listen at loud volumes. Never have.  I have to say I have been watching movies with these headphones and for HT applications they are...

    OPPO PM-3 Portable Planar Magnetic Headphones Loaner Program

    I received the PM3's earlier today. What do I think? Well... I don't think very highly of them. I was running them from my Marantz PM5005, which sounds great with my Hifiman He400i and Grado SR80. These headphones sounded harsh, lacked fidelity, lacked resolution, and lacked soundstage. It...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I'm inclined to agree that the 400i is not an upgrade over an HD600. More sideways. It's not particularly "better" sounding but it is definitely different sounding. I don't know enough about audio or audiophile terminology to explain what exactly is different about the sound.   I have listened...
