    Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC Review (Headphone)

    The Abyss 1266 TC Phi is a really good headphone. I own the susvara, utopia, stellia, verite open, senn hd650, and have owned the empyrean, grado gs3k, HD660s. The abyss is way up there in terms of enjoyment and technical ability. Sure, it looks terrible, unwieldy and cumbersome. The fit does...

    Okto dac8 stereo DAC Review

    I just placed an order for a unit with the built in streamer. From Amir's opening post: "Streaming is provided by Raspberry Pi and while it is physically integrated into the unit, requires that you use the jumper to wire up the dac to its USB output. Fortunately you have another USB input so...

    Ultimate 1ET400A Purifi Amplifier sonic shootout - €820 to €8,344

    Can I get some directions? Between the apollon et400a (non mini) and the NAD c298 is there anything that would place them apart? Or is it the case of whichever one I choose should and would do the job?

    UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Switch Review

    Sure man I get where youre coming from. The fact that my wife even bothered to spend a half hour or so doing this with me is something I can celebrate. Sometimes I feel audiophoolery is similar to religion.. Belief is a strong thing.

    UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Switch Review

    Because I also took it as an opportunity to just spend some time with my wife and give her a little bit of insight into why I spend so much time reading online forums about audio equipment and headphones.

    UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Switch Review

    UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Switch Review

    Recently, i set up a new PC to be a Roon/HQPlayer core. I placed this core PC in one of my rooms, and i'm using a fanless NUC running HQPlayer NAA in the lounge. Out of curiosity, I upsampled music to 1.536M (pcm) and sent it to my Holo Spring 2 dac. There were issues with playback: regular...

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    Haha that's a smart move.. I went in to the shop just intending to have a casual chit chat, and the guy offered to let me have a quick listen to the 1266 paired with a WA33 amp. I couldn't stop thinking about it after I left.. And the rest is history.

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    Abyss 1266 TC Phi pros - sheer power and technical prowess - best, chest thumping, deep bass - widest soundstage and yet has pinpoint imaging cons - comfort. good fit requires some tweaking with pads and frame adjustment - the best sound comes with having the headphone pads rest as loosely as...

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    Lol.. I use headphones a whole lot more than my speaker setup. I only get the chance to enjoy music after my kids have gone to bed. Plus I don't have any other hobbies.. I figured I might as well. Most of the stuff I use were bought after reading reviews on ASR, for eg a Benchmark...
