Love my new Abyss Diana's. It is so easy to almost go into a trance as you listen to these. The large part of my listening goes to my headphones and it is essential that they be true to the recorded sound to my ears and comfortable.

I ordered my BDA-3 on December 9th of last year and it arrived at my dealer on the 10th of January. Trying to get the USB Audio working now. __________________

I ordered the Bryston BDA-3, just waiting on delivery. This was a really tough choice with many great DAC's to consider. Besides the four that I had listed, I got recommendations for some really top notch equipment that added to the search. Now when I'm in the market to upgrade I can look at...

I'm in a quandary over which DAC to add to my system. I have at present the Bryston BDA-1. I've looked at the following. 1. Bryston BDA-3 and 3.14 2. Denafrips Terminator 3. Musetek Audio MH-DA005 4. Holo Audio Spring 3 Some of these are lightly used and some brand new, but I didn't want that...

I've been toying with the idea of installing a cold air intake kit and when I was in at my mechanic's last week for a minor thing on the wife's car, I asked him for a price. When he told me around $125, I said let's do it. When I went to pick up the car and the bill was $110, I was quite happy.

The delivery guy was very good at explaining all the bells and whistles. This is not my old Craftsmen, that's for sure. First off I had to climb into the seat. With the Craftsmen it was just a vertical slide. These three pedals on the right side are going to take some time getting used to.

Hi Guys. My old Craftsman has bit the dust and I thought I might find a deal on an end of season model. My choices are as follows. John Deere X350, 42" deck. A Cub Cadet Model AT2 LT42. Simplicity "Broadmoor" 42" deck. After being told I was on the waiting list and hoping maybe for an April...

Just picked up a NIB Bryston BHA-1 headphone amp on the used marketplace. It should look real nice sitting atop my Bryston DAC. I had previously picked up a Burson Soloist 3X, but I wasn't crazy about the sound I was getting. I had tried 4 different sets of phones and none of them clicked. I'll...

I'm trying to play music files either from an external hard drive or a flash drive. Then going from my laptop (using J River 28) and onto my preamp via USB cable. The problem is that once a music file plays, it won't play continuous. I'm not sure if it's the laptop or something in the J River...

I spent the last two days looking at the used market and I finally worked out a deal on a McIntosh C 2600. It's in like new condition. It really came down to the McIntosh, the Audio Research LS28 and the Audio Research Ref. 3. I want to thank everybody that took time to post, because I had so...

Took The Bryston back to the dealer as my time with it was up. Switching back and forth this last week between my Cary (tubed) and Bryston (SS) I've realized that I prefer the warmth of tubes. I've narrowed the search to the McIntosh C-2600 (Tubed) the Audio Research Reference 3, and the LS28...

Well I recently purchased a new headphone amp so I could upgrade to a balanced headphone experience. The trouble is what I thought would work in the connections, sadly did not work. Now my wife has watched me working on this for a month and yesterday she said, and I love when she says this...

I have a NAS where I store my Hi-Rez music files. Can I play the files using my laptop thru a USB connection? Am I limited on what resolution the files will play? (ie 192kHz: 24 bit).

Hi Guys, I just picked up a Burson Soloist 3X and I'd like the cord a little longer. I'm using Hi-Fi Man He-560 headphones and the stock 3m cable with a 4pin XLR connector on the amp end. The hi-fi shop where I bought the Burson has checked with Hi-FiMan and nothing in stock at the moment...
