This has to be for me!
Big fan of the prize package you've put together here. I've got no audiophile level cans to listen to right now, and this would be a great setup for me. Plus reminds me of home, and wandering through Needle Doctor back in Dinkytown.
please
I already use a 60i so getting a 80i would be cool. Also been looking at the dragonfly for awhile now.
I was looking into portable headphones and DACs for my laptop. This sweepstakes makes that decision for me
.
Brilliant!
I want!!
Might just have to buy this is I don't win!
Great contest!! Fingers crossed....
Looks like a perfect pair for me to use at work.
Got the dragonfly. :)
Yes, please!
That looks fantastic! I've always wanted a pair of Grados.
Thanks
Luck comes to us all!
fingers crossed! :))))
Help me Doctor
The combination is awesome!!!
Excellent Grado
Cans paired Audioquest DAC
Bring the promise of audio nirvana
Best prize offering yet!
Haven't listened to these, but my son could use the DragonFly for his Sufjan Stevens & Fleet Foxes, and my daughter would love the Grados to listen to Katy Perry & Lady Gaga.
Or, maybe I could just use both of them for my Duke Ellington & Brian Eno!
This combination of the Dragonfly DAC with Grado 'phones means that any old laptop or PC can turned into a top flight, portable, high-end hifi. :-)
would love to try this new fangled stuff.
Seems like a great giveaway!
This is a great giveaway! I hope I win!
like these!
jUST WHAT I COULD USE FOR AS MOBILE AS I CAN BE.
This could get me interested in digital audio!
With as much as a travel for work this would finally get my on the road audio at the same level as my home system. One can only hope!
Very Nice
This would be an ideal gift for myself. Thanks for the chance to win!
Sweet little package :)
I'd be happy with either, but could do a lot with both.. cheers.
Please please pick me
I just started looking for a combo like this!
Thanks for the contest!
Sounds like a great combo. Good luck everyone!
Great solution for audiophiles on the move.
I'M IN !!!
Me Likey! Give It :D
comment
Sold my Grado SR60s and SR125 'phones which feel like seashells clamping down on your ears after an hour and Grado RA1 amp-which never reached the volumes I desired it to. The Dragonfly DAC is desirable-will pair it with my Logic3 Ferrari phones-40mm Cavallino's with leather headband and leather earcups or with my Logic3 Ferrari Scuderia 50mm 'phones which deliver satisfying bass that isn't exaggerated crudely in today's Dr. Dre Beats 'phones. Would also like to pair the Dragonfly DAC with Creative's Sound Blaster ZxR soundcard or Asus Xonar Essence ST or Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcards.
Very nice indeed
Yes!
I'm in need of a new DAC, and another set of 'phones would be great, too!!
Nice combo, especially when it's free.
Yes, please!
Outstanding sweepstakes, thanks!
the dragonfly looks very interesting :D
Awesome DAC and a great set of headphones. Would love to have them for myself.
Grado and L&B Pizza two best things out of Brooklyn. I had the Pizza I hope to win the Cans!
Sign Me Up! What a perfect pair to introduce my young boys to the joys of Hi-Fi!
A fine combo to listen to a fine combo...
Awesomeness :)
I would like this.
oooh oooh! Pick me! Pick Me!
Punny, no?
This would be fantastic, sign me up!
Thank you!
Yes please! Be my Santa this Christmas!!!!
Love what you all do.
perfect combo for listening on a laptop.
This combo would sound absolutely fantastic! Plus, the Dragonfly could be used along with future system upgrades:D
I have 1700 CD's ripped in Apple lossless, what next?
Give it to me, now! :-)
To listen to my music through this set up.
Will make the work day a bit more entertaining.
Would love to hear these together.
Always wanted a grado and the dragonfly is the icing on the cake ^^
The perfect combo
I've owned Grado SR40 and SR60i headphones, but alas, both pairs are now damaged due to travel wear and tear. I could really use those SR80is!!!
dac n phones...good!
Would love to own this set.
Grado is a dream.
pretty please
The D-Fly is a great piece of kit and Grado makes some nice, distinctive-sounding 'phones! I hope whoever wins this enjoys them! (and here's hoping that "whoever" is me...)
Hey!
Love the Grado headphone and the Dragonfly would make a great combo!
to get me into some can action! Yeah.
Ability to hear music as intended....Priceless.
I'm in!
Pick me please.
For the lucky one
I am looking forward to treating my ears to great tunes with a great sounding pair of Grado headphones and matching Dragonfly DAC!!!
.... I can have fun with them.
I just happen to be in the market for a new DAC/headphone amp; I've already got the SR80's, which are undeniably the best bargain in headphones (more so than even the much-praised SR60's). When I win (!!), I shall gift a friend with my current rig so it's a win-win ;)
Good luck...
at winning
Have been looking for headphones AND a Dragonfly, and here they both are together! Absatively!!
Let it be now.
Add my name to the hat please!
For that as well...
...my turn to win one of these contests?
Yes, yes it is.
I'll take it!
I would love to try the Dragonfly DAC. I've heard good things
Looking forward to winning!
Awesome!
Yes please
I'd love to have new headphones for Christmas.
What's the fancy word combo that I need to insert here to be selected? Is there a trigger word or phrase that will be searched for? I'll list every word in every language if that's the case.
It took a while for someone to turn me on to Grado after being a Sennheiser fanboy for so long. This just makes it better.
A great combination that would sound wonderful together.
What a great idea.
Good luck to all

Pick me, pick me! Not that I'm desperate or anything...
And it's not even a sexist comment...
and so is Dragonfly!
I use one with a pair of B&W P 5. The sound is magic!
I have 2 pairs of Grado headphones but that Dragonfly would sure come in handy!
My daughters and wife keep taking my headphones which means I have an excuse to get new ones but the Grado's would be really nice. The DAC would be an upgrade also.
I promise to be good the rest of the year.......!!
Get some.
Please, please me
