Will there be any difference if I connect my equipment (in this case minidisc recorder) on digital and not on analog IN? My friend says that analog is way better, but since I don't have S/PDIF on my laptop, I can do it only digitally. Might buy S/PDIF adapter if it makes difference tho.

I come to the thread with a somewhat related question;

I noticed my new motherboard has an SPDIF output. Should I connect the Gungnir (USB Gen 2) to it? I'm considering doing it just to free up the USB port.  :)p5

The general consensus here is that USB gen 2 is superior to the optical and coax inputs on the gungnir and bifrost, especially with the wyrd. Try it for yourself first.

not sure if helpful but the LCD-2 with fazor, I prefer over the LCD-2 rev2 that I've had.
I believe Tyll on www.innerfidelity.com did comparisons with the Fazor - and there is a difference for sure. more than just unit variation I'd bet.

Best headphone for classical music around US$ 100 ... HD558?   :money:
Any others options?

I would suggest some IEM-s. Something with twfk drivers, like Fischer DBA-2, ATH CK10 (used).

Try a KSC75, pretty good. Not AKG good but very nice and too good to ignore. My KSC75 has the quarter modification: a hole in the ear pad foam.
