    PC Peripherals Fan less case advice for HTPC build

    Any suggestions for locally available fan less cases for a HTPC build (something in the lines of Streacom, HD-Plex)? Other planned components will be Core I3/I5 64 gb SSD 1-2 TB HDD Blu-ray drive, preferably slot loading Thanks!

    Audio Random DAC/Amp Thread!!

    Thanks for that info @abhi_jollyguy. You might be right about not being able to drive larger headphones with the DX90 - though I guess it depends on how much a person would use it on the road (as its a portable device) in comparison to at home. For portable use and driving IEMs, DX90 should be...

    Wow, congrats! Hope you didnt get screwed by customs too much. Why DX100 and not DX90, specs seem better on the latter with dual-mono ESS9018KM etc.?

    Audio Recommendations needed for a new headphone (budget: Rs 20K/flexible)

    For your music tastes and source, best option is Sennheiser Momentum. I think they can be auditioned at any Sennheiser Experience Zone in Delhi (google for them), price should be just about 20K

    So just got the update on the X5 pre-order from @PristineNote . Disappointing that the price is 24000+, not the close to USD350 that was being talked about

    A Bravo Ocean 12AU7 tube-based headphone amp and a HiFiMeDIY UAE23+ DAC with external PSU. Still waiting to hear anything on the Fiio X5 order from @PristineNote, very disappointing

    Hehe, this will be my last flagship product for a while. Took a long hard look at my inventory and realized that I'm more of a portable rather than home listener. So will soon put up my hp amp + HD650 + desktop DAC for sale and move to an X5 + hopefully Harmony 8 rig. Lets see!

    @Ritvik , does Custom Art have instructions for getting impressions done as per their requirements? Did not see anything on their website. This is really good pricing for the Harmony's so planning to make this my first CIEM (if my ears are big enough that is). If not, will downgrade to the Music 2s

    I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed in @PristineNote I'm on the pre-order for a X5 from them as I did not want to deal with customs hassles with MP4Nation. Despite promising regular updates on status, there has been none. Even worse, I have sent them 3 emails over the past 10-12 days...

    Are we sure the new Custom Art Harmony is not an April Fools joke???

    Hi @esanthosh do post about 3.2 here - I'm also considering going the CIEM route this year and that will hopefully be the end of my audio purchases for the next couple of years (until more details of the X7 release and I'm fully satisfied with the currently pre-ordered X5)

    Apparently so. In other news, MP4Nation has started its pre-order for X5 - USD350 with free Brainwavz S1 IEM and free Fedex. I'm tempted to cancel my ProAudioHome pre-order except for 2 factors - a) MP4Nation's 1st preorder is already sold out and the 2nd pre-order will only get to them by...

    Sigh, ordered. Total cost is expected to be 22K-odd, which is not too bad in comparison to the international pricing of USD350. I hope they meet the early-April release date though

    Audio Looky what arrived in the mail today....

    There was a bundle offer in Flipkart for 58K or so recently @esanthosh, what - really?? When was that and what was the offer - some more details please so I can look out for it! And congrats @sjaveri

    Anybody going for the Pono? I've booked a place in line (still have 30-odd days to cancel) on the Kickstarter, to wait till some independent reviews come in. The pricepoint for what they are offering is really sweet though - USD300 for 128GB, ESS9018 DAC etc. etc.
