X2 I just had the Canadian loaner here recently, very impressive DAC, I'll be posting my thoughts in the near future.

Read your review on Wes' forum, very well written impressions that have made me even more intrigued to hear the D100, thankfully I won't have long to wait as the Canadaland loaner is on it's way to me.

A belated happy birthday Hirsch!

This makes no sense, why do they need to be as good as or better than a headphone that cost $3200 more to be worthy of consideration?

Thanks all. I had a stressful day at work but a nice evening out after with the family, then tried to watch the last period of the first hockey game of the season but fell asleep before the period started. Guess I am getting old.

I'm going to have to dig this out, it's been awhile.

You may have heard of a few or all of these but given Iron & Wine (Sam Beam), my favorite is "In The Reins" a collaboration with Calexico and a close second is a solo live recording at Wheaton college (If you or anyone else can't find this let me know and I'll find a way to get you a copy). But really any Iron & Wine is good, earlier stuff is more sparse whereas the last couple of albums his sound has branched out and become a bit more experimental. Bon Iver (Justin Vernon), is out of a similar vein as Iron & Wine. "For Emma, Forever Ago" was an instant hit with me and it took me awhile but I think his latest "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" may even be better. Hayden, I've been listening to "In Field & Town" quite a bit ever since I saw them open for Feist. Nathan Wiley is a local PEI artist who I've been listening to for years now. I'm still a big fan of his first album "Bottom Dollar" but all are good. Morphine is an interesting blues/jazz influenced rock band that's heavy on sax and bass and Mark Sandman's seductive vocals. Personal favorites are "Cure For Pain", "Yes" and "The Night". Off the beaten path would be The Tiger Lillies, I can't adequately describe them but here's a blurb from their website that does a decent job "The Tiger Lillies are an extraordinary three piece band with a large cult following in London. They are fronted by singer Martyn Jacques who trained himself as an opera singer with a castrati style voice of heartbreaking beauty, whilst living alone above a strip joint in Soho for seven years. Accompanied by drummer Adrian Huge, whose appearance was described by David Byrne as James Joyce on drums, and double bass player Adrian Stout, Jacques plays accordion and sings savage and passionate songs about prostitutes, drug addicts and losers, his voice soaring and growling like a man possessed." I don't usually listen to country but Lucinda Williams is an exception, I quite like "West". If you haven't already you might try Fionna Apple and Joss Stone as well.

A belated happy birthday!

Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver Took a few listens to really get into this album, I'm not sure why, "For Emma, Forever Ago" has been a favorite since it came out but even though this album has a lot more in common with "For Emma.." than "Blood Bank" it didn't catch on in the first couple of listens so went to the back burner for awhile, I recently gave it another whirl and I fell in love with it.

Happy Birthday Jim!
