    Tattoo-Fi

    Let's get some pictures of another expensive hobby. Lord knows I spent more on tattoos than I have on headphones. Here's a few of mine. The back is still in progress, we have to do the background still.

    Topping L50 or A30 Pro to pair with an E50 Dac?

    Currently have both sitting on my desk, with no cables to connect either until later this week. Aesthetically, I like the matching stack look of the E50/L50, but the A30 Pro outputs twice as much power (3.5w vs 6w at 16 Ohm). Volume-wise, I'm positive I wont get anywhere near maxing either...

    Hifiman EF400 vs Topping E50/L50 stack

    So I ordered the Topping stack, which should be great for my needs, and then in a semi-inebriated stage, ordered the HF400. I'll be using the amp with an Edition XS, a JM modded HE-R9, and a Beyer Amiron Home. I know the EF400 does great with low impedance headphones and is less than ideal...

    Amp/DAC upgrade for Edition XS? Or just stay put

    Currently running a Magni +/Modi 3 with my XS, and I'm feeling the itch to upgrade. I was looking at the Asgard 3, Midgard, or the Topping A30 Pro. The Asgard is at the head of my list simply because I don't feel like replacing all my cables for balanced, if there's little to no benefit. Am I...

    Odd Question? Looking to control Schiit stack & speaker amp with 1 volume knob & switch

    So right now I have a Magni+ and Modi3 powering my headphones using the USB input. I also have a Loxjie A30 powering 2 passive speakers and a sub, using the optical input. Both are using my PC as the source. As it stands now, I have 2 volume knobs (windows is set to 100% volume), and I have...

    New headphones - $400ish budget

    Looking for a warmer sound, with decent bass. mostly rock, tap, some metal. Lots of other genres thrown in there as well. This will be for home use, open back is fine. Magni +/Modi stack will be driving them. $400ish budget, US based. I was thinking Hifiman Edition XS or Ananda Stealth, but...

    Looking for a Christmas upgrade

    Right now I have a set of HD6XX, Dekoni Blue, and Takstar Pro82. I've been giving the Dekonis the most play over the past year, but I'd like something that was a bit more open. I was considering the Hifiman Deva Pros (or Sundaras) but I'm a bit wary of their QC and reliability. Ideally I'd be...

    Closed upgrades from a Takstar Pro82

    Right now I have a set of Pro 82s and a Senn/Drop 6XX. I’m looking to upgrade, and I’ll need something closed back. I’m hoping the jump will be something noticeable, and with more of a low end kick than the 82s. Ideally 200-400 would be the range I’m looking for.

    Looking for Headphone/DAC/Amp recommendations, under $450-500 total?

    I'm looking to scratch the headphone itch again, and I'm having a hard time deciding on what to get. Right now I own a few budget oriented headphones, and one "decent" pair. I have a Sivga 007 (I use this with a Vmoda mic for gaming), an ISK9000 rebrand (Akai x50 project pros), and an almost...

    Need a DAC/HP amp with some restrictions

    So here's my situation: I need a desktop DAC/Amp combo that takes either optical or USB input, has RCA outs that get muted when I plug headphones in, and has enough power to drive headphones fairly easily. Anyone have any suggestions? The cheaper the better, really. I'm finding it difficult...

    Had some budget amp/DACs in mind, could use some guidance

    Hey folks, I decided to upgrade my PC's sound a bit, and wanted to go with an amp/dac to bypass the onboard sound a give a bit more power to my HPs. I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible, and had a few models in mind. Please feel free to suggest anything else, as I'm new to amps. 1 -...

    Chinese, bargain or cult favorite full sized under $125?

    Looking to supplement my Sennheiser HD25-1 and HyperX Cloud (Takstar Pro 80) headsets, and I'm always one to try out a cult favorite if it fits my profile. Looking for Sound/Comfort>Portability. These will mostly be for home use, either music or movies. If I'm able to drive them with my...

    Need to replace HD25-1s. What compares?

    I've had these for about 7-8 years now, and recently the audio has been cutting out randomly. Looking to replace these, hopefully around the same price or cheaper. Listen to basically everything. Rock/Punk/Metal, Rap/Hip Hop, plus I'd use these for movies as well. They'll either be powered...

    Yet another <$125 advice thread

    I tried using the search, so bear with me here... I need a set of headphones for my ipod, no amp. As far as music is concerned, I can toss on anything from Social Distortion to Pagiani, so there's a need for a good all around set of cans. I'd prefer them as portable as possible, as I'll be...

    ANCIENT PCDP help...

    My uncle got one of the first pcdps as a bonus from his company about oh, 15 years ago? All I know is that it was a Sony, came in a huge shoulder bag, with about 15 Lbs or more of CD player, Batteries, etc inside. Seriously, this thing was a brick. Does anyone know which player this was, and how...
