    What are you upgrading from? I didn’t think DACs mattered until I moved from the Modi 1 to Bifrost 2, then wow.

    Hugo TT... lol... @songmic was almost begging me to upgrade. I'm glad I listened!
    TT really did serve me well. Kept on going overseas so a compact setup really helped. Can never go back though xD
    I'm still warming it up, after I wrap my head (ears?) around the sound I should post on the impressions thread.

  Hi, I am a music addict from Finland. I settled recently with DarkVoice and HD600. Love acoustic music, jazz, ethno and such. Did the small foam removal the other day and discovered your mod. How can I buy it?

    Is that a 700 series mod? Very interesting...

    It’s like a 650 mod using 800 drivers, so (650+800)/2, the average of the two.

    You just missed our meet last weekend. There is CanJam NYC sometime this month though, if you're sticking around for that long.

    Audio46 at 46th St. Between 5th and 6th Ave. has a good selection of headphones. They don't have many amps or DAC's though.
