Hi, I am currently looking for a DAC to match with my Liquid Platinum, my previous DAC was an SMSL SU-9 but I thought it sounded a bit too harsh, now I am using my Cayin RU7 temporarily, and I want to find a better desktop DAC solution. I prefer AKM or R2R sound. My budget is $1000 USD (the...

So I'm looking to round out my collection of dynamic driver headphones with a planar magnetic. I currently own the Clear MG, Verite Open, and HD660s - all of which are mid-forward. I tried out the Auduze LCD-X but found it too heavy and uncomfortable for more than 45 mins of listening. I...

Hi, this is my 1st post on head-fi, I am looking for cans that I can buy sub 400 USD. I am trying to find an upgrade/ replacement of AKG K550 which I am using for casual listening and mixing song. I tried HD600 and HD650, but the soundstage is to narrow to use for mix song. Can I get some...

I have a budget of about €300 for some speakers for my computer. Focus is on clarity for music/movies/games with enough bass to give a good feel to movies and games, but not overpowering enough to cloud the dialogues. Also for music, preference is old rock, so a lot of high end cymbals and...

I bought the LC3.5BS short-short cable and use it with my BTR3 and it works very well, and is well made. However, that's not the best design for a short cable like this. The cable needs to be asymmetrical. For example, the left cable from the cable splitter should be quite short, just long...

Hello, I'm new to the world of audiophiles and for the longest time was considering buying Airpods until I discovered IEMs. I would purchase a wired IEM, but I want to stray away from it especially because I will have to use a dongle if I want to use them on my iPhone. I've been doing my own...

I had been a hard-core cable denier until I switch my t88k from silver cabble it came with to an upgrade cable off Amazon noticed an actual difference in audio quality specifically in the sub bass. Now I have rhapsodio solars which use a 2 pin and I have no cables for it other than the silver...

Hello everyone, I appreciate the help with my previous thread figuring out which IEMs to buy (landed on the iBasso IT01). Now I'd love some help with finding a replacement for my sluggish but still functional Fiio X5 (1st Gen) music player. Now it has been quite a long time since the Fiio X5...

I'd like some input on a good headphone under 200 dollars (I don't care about buying used headphones) to upgrade my SHP9500. I will try to explain what I like. I want open back cans, I don't have a problem having to use an amp but to be sincere if I have to I would need to buy a very cheap amp...
