Hi,   I might be able to find a couple days free in London roaming around. Any good recommendations where I can find DIY parts? Thinking of getting some cables, connectors, or even wall sockets.   Recommendations beyond audio are appreciated too :D   Cheers

I'm currently using a desktop for multi-tasking including music server. I have tons of issue getting my USB DAC to work for my onboard USB port, until I replaced my PSU, and replaced a ferrite core USB cable (all other cheap and expensive USB cable refuse to work) and some other tweaking.  ...

My sound card just failed recently and I switched from HD800 to my portable setup (EWS9 + half working ibasso D10) for my home listening. I'm looking desktop DAC+AMP now to better utilize the full potential of the phone,   I checked Audio-GD more than a year ago, and they seems to offer a...

I lost my cable, I checked with Sennheiser Singapore and it costs about 200USD for a new one. Should I spend additional 100USD?   Currently I using single-ended, but will definately go balance, but probably delay for a year or 2due to financial difficulties...

Just wondering how many Malaysia headphone lovers are on Head-Fi, or do you have any common place to meet up. Post appreciated :)   Thanks.  

Not sure if people suffer this problem - when ever load a new page the Land Rover advertisement just bring distortion to my music.   Running foobar2000 over Xonar Essence ST on ASIO.   I don't listen to music now when I'm on head-fi. What a shame...

I was considering HD650 as complement to my AKG702 (that idea has now being dropped). So I was following the price trending on this phone rather closely on Amazon. However when I finally make up the mind, the price surge up suddenly from 359 to over 400. Hesitated by the price change, I passed...

I recently got a good deal for a balanced HD800 the game change substantially, I'm now looking for an SS amp to properly drive my new baby. If possible I hope to get an amp under 3k that can drive all big cans.   I've seen many post on this, so I put these SS amps into a list with specific...

Has anyone tried this? Would love to get some advice and input here.

So, who play your best Mendelssohn? I'm trying to get some input here and see if I can get more recommendation on this piece :) I have listen to a couple version and here's my preference:   David Oistrakh - It's a more direct playing, neither as colourful as Vengerov, nor Mutter, but at a...

This discussion was originally meant for suggestions to my wife's new can selection. Turned out that I bought something entirely different - and way overbudget. This is head-fi world :)   I listened primarily to classical, orchestra works, followed by violin and piano works. I also listened...

As the title suggest. I'm looking for a DAP with above features. I went a few shops and tried some sony models but seems like lossless doesnt play on them. Will most likely use it during my travel, so good battery life and large storage (80GB or above) would be nice. Able to play vedio is...

I managed to set up the EAC with Windows Media Encoding to rip my CDs to lossless WMA format. However those wma files seems to have the following issues: 1) Although they play on WMP11, I cant drag the progress to jump further (example I want to drag it to 00:30:00). It always replay the song...
