    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    Arya came in on Xmas eve. I've been able to get a few hours in since and I have been loving it. I don't know that it's as life changing as others seem to think, but I'm very happy with the amp/dac and headphones combo for about $1k out of pocket. Looking forward to having these for years to come.

    He did. However, opening up a plug on my larger power supply is not without reward. I have considered moving to a separate streamer and dac, but I'd need to open a plug to do that.

    I feel like y'all are trying to talk me out of the 20/20 lps

    Saw those too. A guy in my office has a pair that he uses exclusively for music, and he keeps a pair of Sony XM4s for calls because he said they have better mics and less complaints via zoom.

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    In my limited and non-scientific testing, yes you would be leaving a small amount on the table with optical. System dependent, so take it with a grain of salt. Best bet is to test it at home in your system. There's no rush. It's not like anyone is stopping cable production :)

    I continue to contemplate a lateral move in this direction. Half of me wants to get the Kinki integrated and keep my Mastersound for like a year to really nail down which one I want to truly keep.

    Just put on Regina Spektor's new/old album - Songs. Really have enjoyed streaming this one, but enjoying it even more on vinyl!

    Very exciting! Hopefully the 300B lives up to the hype for you. Excited to follow that journey. :)

    WOW! Big changes, but should give you a steady stream of income for a significant time as you start to sell things off (if you do). What do you have on your shortlist for headphones?

    MoFi UltraDeck / StudioDeck Owners and those interested

    Call MusicDirect or send them an email. I think the program was 20% of original retail on trade in.

    Yes! That was what really caught my eye. So simple, but also a robust design on the actual hifi front. It works great in practice as well!

    The design caught my eye. The 5.12 watts per channel output and dual R2R DAC got me shopping. An excellent price on an lightly used unit got me to pull the trigger. Very happy so far! On to the headphone decision next!

    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    And it's here! I'm surprised how much more detail this amp change is brining out compared to my previous Modius/rHead combo. The low end detail and texture is what stood out first. Looking forward to getting more familiar with it. The one gripe... really wish it had a power switch on the front...

    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    That’s unfortunate about the 4xx. I looked back at my account and I also got mine in 2018 as well. But mine are still in excellent condition which is why hifiman is still high on my list. The LCD series is one I’ve demoed before. LCD-2 specifically. Loved the sound. I could probably push to...

    Both are on sale. From what I’ve read, it seems like a somewhat split crowd between the Amanda Nano and the Arya Stealth. Granted the Arya is a little more expensive (+180). But the new nano drivers are getting rave reviews but their speed, but the tone seems like a love/hate situation. It...

    What's Going On Up There- The Headphone Thread

    Well well, look who’s coming out of the woodwork to eat his own words. It’s a few years later, I’m a few years older, and I have a few more dollars. I’ve had the HE-4XX since they were recently announced, so maybe 2017? And I think it’s finally time to upgrade. I want to go to the Hifiman...
