    Dragonfly COBALT vs.............Discussions

    Any recommendations on USB C OTG cables? I have a samsung s8 and the connection from cable to phone is terrible, bad enough that even just movement while it's in my pocket can disturb the connection and stop playback. Doesn't happen with any other cables (charging cables etc.). Really hampering...

    Crackles and pops with RPI3, Schiit Modi Multibit + several OS

    HDD is powered from the Pi. And powered from a different group of ports than the Mimby. Also tried it without the LAN cable, still the same. So I guess the next options are a powered USB hub and a Digi+. Not at all confident they'll sort it...

    Crackles and pops with RPI3, Schiit Modi Multibit + several OS

    Seems to be happening with everything really. MP3s and FLACs are all I have and there's crackles on anything I play. The crackles be anywhere from in the background where you'd need to be listening for them or very distinctive and loud. Buffer before playon Runeaudio is set to 30% (the max I...

    Crackles and pops with RPI3, Schiit Modi Multibit + several OS

    Hey guys I've an annoying situation here and I'd dearly love if anyone could shine some light on it!   I've recently put a good bit of time and money into assembling a computer audio system based around a Raspberry Pi 3 (with external hard drive), a Schiit Modi Multibit, Valhalla 2 and Senn...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Would any of you fine people have any recommendations for someone who listens to a wide variety of metal (well, except for nu and industrial really) and is attempting to assemble their first decent quality headphone system? I'm trying to go for a budget of €400 - €500 for everything (headphone...

    Havi b3 pro 1 thread 2.0

    Anyone have an opinion on how would these suit for heavy metal (and it's various sub-genres)? I'm currently using the TTPOD T1Es and love them but after several months with them I think I'd like to move up to the next tier of IEM. I'm trying to decide between the Havis, VSD3, Ostry kco6 and...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    Anyone else who ordered the NX1 from this seller can I just ask if their tracking info was reliable? I got my tracking number when I ordered it on 31st December but it hasn't shown up yet on SingPost. Starting to wonder what's going on with it now...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    Got A15 as a christmas present.  It's the EU version and overall I'm liking it a lot (it's my first high res player), but I do feel that for some albums a little extra power is needed even though I'm using low impedence IEMs. Any recommendations on what would a good amp for this be? I'm on a...

    The Xiaomi Pistons Thread 2.0

    Heartbroken. The cable around the jack of my pistons decided to give up on me yesterday while going for a run. No idea what could've happened as I thought I had looked after them quite well. I used to just store them wrapped loosely around my player with plenty of slack given to the jack end but...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    Any European owners have any comments on the volume cap and how significant it affects the player? I was all set to import one of these from accessoryjack when a deal on a local Irish site appeared for €180 which seems too good really to splash out on a customs hit of potentially an extra €50...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    Good stuff. Thanks for the info. Did you get hit for much customs into whatever country you bought it into?

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    I really don't want to amp it. Main reason for choosing this over other audio players is the small size as I'm usually carrying a smartphone in my pockets too. An amp adds too much extra to carry around. I would've thought accessoryjack might have had an english menu seeing as it's based in...

    SONY NWZ-A10 Series

    What site would people recommend for purchasing one of these into Ireland? I'm looking to import one from outside the EU to bypass the volume limit. Been looking at accessoryjack and shenzenaudio but just worried that the player won't have English language menus. Do people also reckon is it...

    Havi B3 Pro-1 Impressions Thread

    Really want to get a pair of these but I'm guessing my old sony nwz-s639 (EU version) won't be loud enough to properly drive them? Don't have an amp either.

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Hmm, not sure why it's not showing up when I click the link from here. Anyyway, if you go to aliexpress and search for a FiiO x5 one seller shows up as 97% off. But yeah, I'm sure it is too good to be true anyway. Just thought I'd check it out anyway!
