If that proves to be the case, then this will likely be my last post on Head Case.

Its announcement has seemed to have been ignored here, but IMO, this is a very special headphone. I own the W1000X, and acknowledge its faults, but there is no comparison between the two. If you love opera, female vocals, chamber music, etc. I am sure you will love the W3000ANV.

Read about this on Computer Audiophile, tried it and like it. Nice alternative to Remote. Try it in landscape mode to see more information on your albums.

It's interesting that it doesn't happen with iTunes alone, but only when Amarra Mini is open.

My experience with OS Lion on my MacBook Pro (2009) and Amarra Mini/iTunes, is that web browsing with Safari causes the music to cut out for a second or two occasionally. This seems to be limited to Safari, and does not affect applications on the local drive.

Have you heard "that crap" to be able to make that statement - assuming you are referring to the Amphora. If not, my apologies!

I used their announcement of version 2.2 email to reply, and ask them for my serial number. They replied 2 hrs. later with the serial number.

A new cable is available for the LCD-2 from Audeze. Go to the 'Blog' section of their website if you are interested, which contains an order link. Shipping cost only for 2011 LCD-2 purchasers, $40 for 2010 purchasers until the end of February and then $80. Cheers.

I believe (but am not positive) that you will need to have a DLNA server to stream music to it. For Mac users running iTunes, it won't work directly with the OPPO BDP-93 - I have tried it and it doesn't recognize the Mac. I was thinking of buying a NAS drive to store and stream my music through it, but that means another box. I am by no means an expert on this subject, and recommend the AVS Forum threads for answers on this player, as the beta testers for the OPPO BDP-93 post there and also answer questions.

'5' comes after '4'. Yes, I am one of those douchenozzles.

lol ... I didn't say which replays did I?

Stax SR-507 coming in September in case you haven't seen it. USD $1,200 (approx.) according to a post this morning on the other hps site.

Welcome Kennykilla (another Canadian) to Head Case! We will be taking over ... soon. Sorry I can't help on the hp choices as I don't listen to the same genres of music eh, except maybe hockey game replays which sound great with my HD650s.

I have owned Amarra Mini for a week now. The price incidentally is now $295- plus $50 for the USB dongle - for use with multiple computers. Version 2.0 also just came out, and it supports MP3s and has FLAC conversion capabilities although I am still using Max.. I found it very difficult to audition Amarra Mini with the silences every 40 seconds or so, but with the reduced price, plus the fact that I am more or less committed to my Macbook Pro and iTunes, any enhancement is probably worth that investment. To Smeggy's points though, it is not necessarily an immediately noticeable improvement. So far, it seems to me that it tightens up the bass somewhat and overall is now more neutral sounding to me compared with Apple's Core Audio/ iTunes. Of course hearing an improvement with Amarra Mini may just be my imagination, as obviously I would like to hear an improvement after buying it.
