Anyone here using this yet? Okto dac8 Stereo https://www.oktoresearch.com/dac8stereo.htm Just placed an order. Looks pretty and measures well. Apparently it is going to be a long wait before I will receive it.. I like how it can be configured for a built in streamer. Have asked for the...

Haven't seen this unit mentioned much around here. Read some nice reviews and thought i would give it a go. Managed to get it at a pretty good discount off retail. I only received it yesterday. It took 7 days to reach me from Europe. It took a little while to obtain the unit in the first place...

Couldn't find a similar thread on this sub-forum. Feel free to discuss or ask questions on "high end" cables, whether they're digital or analog or power. Let's keep this civil, keeping in mind that expensive and high end are of course a relative concept, and how one chooses to spend his/her...

received the SA5000 which i bought from mega a few days ago. just wondering, does anyone here have a recabled SA5000, and what sound differences does the recable produce? i saw the black dragon recable on the moon audio website and it looks as though the length of cable from the earcups to...

my ms2i are still in the process of burning in. right about now they should be clocking in around 30-40 hours (i havent kept them playing whilst i'm out of the house). out of the box the ms2i sounded pretty good already, though there was a hint of 'muddiness' in the mids. detail was lacking...

ok long story.. i've been waiting for over a month to buy my new headphones. my birthday was on April 4th and i thought to myself, what better way to spend it than to get myself a new set of cans, and the alessandro MS2i was all i could think of.. so there i was, on my birthday, making my...

i used to have the grado 325i but sold it after a month. i thought i was going to use the funds recuperated to splurge on a pair of SA5k, but instead, the money went to funding a pair of ER4P and an RS Hornet. thinking back, i really enjoyed the 325i. yes, they were much brighter than my...

today i went to the post office to pick up my ER4P. i couldnt wait to get home and try these out. spent a few minutes admiring the box it came in, then opened up the box and spent another few minutes looking at the beautiful braided wires, read the instruction manual from cover to cover, then...

finally got a new amplifier to replace my basic cmoy. managed to buy this amp second hand from a fellow head-fier in singapore for a good price. around a month old, but still in really good condition. came with everything, charger, 3 batteries (two new, one used) and the red velvet pouch. i dont...

looking to buy a new amplifier.. how does the creek OBH-21/21SE hold up against the others like the SR-71/Hornet/Headamp AE-1? reason i'm asking is because the Creek is readliy available in the shops here whereas the others i've mentioned i need to order from the US and wait for shipping etc...

temptation has struck again.. i recently bought the HD650 and now am curious as to how my music will sound through either the grado 325i or SA5000. i've read some reviews here as to how detailed and clear the SA5000 sound , and also how fun music sounds when listened through the 325i. i...
