altis72 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just ordered the earphones from the xiaomi website during lunchtime. Delivery fee is $5 per transaction. Why limit to one set of earphone per transaction? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Howser Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think SLT would sell through their channels. It used to be Audio Iconic but I think they've gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I join the SR-009 bandwagon today. Dedicated flight to Narita just to buy Stax....Fujiya AVIC sold their store's only unit AFTER I booked my flight. Go hunting store after store, damn lucky to be able to found a shop with ready stock.....damn difficult to find. I thought I wasted my day trip to Tokyo and fly back empty handed already, like the last time I visited Tokyo in April last year. Wife not with me so I can aggressively hunt shop after shop. After securing the headphones I went to Shibuya spend 3 hours shopping at Tower Records. I really miss Tower Records. And of course enjoyed some sushi. Akihabara's tomorrow.

lkypeter Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Am a newbie on headfi. Just purchased a LCD 2.2 and a kind friend loan me a Musical fidelity xcanv3 tube headphone amp. Tried using the headphone jack on mytek dac but it sounded under driven. Is that a common observation as I was told that mytek dac have lots of juice on their headphone outlet?

Hi, congrats on your new purchase. I also have mytek dac and use it with Sen HD650 and v-moda 100 for normal listening. I had tried Hifiman HE-500 on the mytek dac, the sound was acceptable but not to the full potential of the HE-500. For "serious" listening I use the mytek as dac and connect to my amp. I would suggest that you get a dedicated headphone amp and use the mytek as dac. BTW, just got the Hifiman HE-560 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkypeter Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks Jmohd I will do as advised to use the mytek as dac and the fm xcanv3 as headphone amp until its owner want it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Teh Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Am a newbie on headfi. Just purchased a LCD 2.2 and a kind friend loan me a Musical fidelity xcanv3 tube headphone amp. Tried using the headphone jack on mytek dac but it sounded under driven. Is that a common observation as I was told that mytek dac have lots of juice on their headphone outlet? Pete, the LCD 2.2 is not difficult to drive for an ortho, but it does need juice to open up. Audeze recommends at least 1W of power for these ! The Mytek has a robust 500mw headphone stage, but more power would be welcome. The Schitt Lyr is a common pairing with Audeze cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Congrats Audio!! Thats an itch you 've been waiting to scratch for ages. Hope it gives you much joy- which amp you using? I just use the Stax SRM-727A because it is solid state, just the way I like it. I have been listening on the SR-009 on many setups, in various AV shows...Woo Audio WES, Stax SRM-007A....sounds good but a little too relax. Then last year, at the Guangzhou AV show, they demo SR-009 with the SRM-727A....WAH LAU!! Fast, accurate.....fantastic sound....I know what I want. :) (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Bought another headphones from Akihabara..... 4K, 3D, Multichannel 9.1 wireless headphone!! Lost my earphones in Tokyo....so, took the opportunity to test the new headphones while flying back to Singapore. Quite shiok....it is 9.1 channels wireless headphones. The decoder box has 4 HDMI inputs for you to select source. There is a HDMI output for you to connect to AVR. (See block box on the left) I was using the analog in the plane. :) http://www.sony.jp/headphone/products/MDR-HW700DS/ http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-hw700ds (Audio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quest88 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 hmm I know this may sound a bit strange.. anyone know of any high end ear-phones that are not in-ears? Something like the apple ipod earphones that is non-intrusive. I realise I can't wear IEMs for that long a period so good to have something to switch, especially for long flights.. (I prefer not to carry headphones as they are too large). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
