    Headphone recommendations for under $100?

    You can get Sennheiser HD202's for like $25 or there abouts and they smoke a bunch of these. I am also a Grado guy from way back, I took a pair of SR60's and modded them into a great looking pair and they sound incredible. You have a ton of options....:music:

    Is DAC-09 24/96 via COAX- I forget?

    I love my DAC-09 with my RED 5 Star and while I save for an 11 or Sabre DAC I am using the coax input and I think its 24/96 correct?? On the 09 it was just the USB that was 16/44.1 right? Thanks guys... Ed

    Considering TubeDAC-09

    Buddyboy....sorry been all over...YES thats it, 5 star printed in RED ink on the tube is what I was suggesting but they are hard to find, so if you see one or a pair...buy them as I'm pretty sure somebody here will take the extra......

    Considering TubeDAC-09

    Hey, I'm not sure I have all the info your asking about either but the Tube DAC's headphone output is Solid State, about driving different cans, I use Grado's and its fine, I use Ultrasone's and its fine, I would think it has enough power to drive about anything. The first time I heard the tube...

    MP-301 MK2 has landed

    I am experiencing the same thing as Rockyhill...stock tubes a lot of hum, Mullard EL34's and RCA replacements 90% less hum...it sounds like a ground hum to me but moving it around or like RH did still didn't make it go away. The amp sounds great except for that.

    Tube DAC-09: Preamp VS DAC

    Having the multiple outputs is a fantastic way to work a powered sub woofer into the mix. I swap between a T-amp with a sub output and a little 6 watt headphone amp with no sub out and use the DAC-09's Solid State output (just one is needed) to go to my powered sub it works great. I have been...

    My Negative Experince with Grant Fidelity

    I'll take it....seriously, Grant has done nothing but bend over backward for people and provide great customer service. I bought a $200 DAC from Grant and the followup and customer service was like I bought a $25,000 system. They have impeccable customer service-end of story. Again...I'll take...

    I love my Tube DAC-09 its given me so many options along the way in this hobby. I bought it as a DAC because of price only--I'm disabled and on Social Security so money is always tight.

    Modding Grado headphones..its easy and effective

    When you take the cups apart heat the area at the cap end the most, it appears that Grado's method of gluing in the screen with the button logo also holds the plastic driver tray into the shell so concentrate the heat there and then start pulling...it takes some heat but if your careful and...
