    Technical Itch dnb

    Try some of these tracks with a fostex TH900 or ie800, you will be suprised. The TH900 is so fast. Failed evolutionary experiment on Spotify.

    Arcam FMJ D33

    Is this the dac i need if i'm a fiend for detail retrieval? would it pair well with my TH900? I plan to use it with the taurus mkII or a trilogy head amp. Lastly, can i plug in an iphone 5 for a source, as it is ment to have apple certified protocol inside the hw.

    Electrocompaniet ECD2 with Auralic Taurus II

    Considering these 2 for a potential setup. As the DAC has a digital volume control, would the input be too high for the Taurus?

    Sony D-Z555 Concerned

    I'm concerned the toslink conection will not fit modern toslink cables like the atlas equator. Was the standard established before this discman was in production?

    Sony Discman D-88 vs D-150 vs Sony D-50

    Hi I am going for a classic disc spinner. I can see a D-88 for a reasonable price. Is the skip problem on this not significant, providing it rests on a table still? Does the D-150 have a better headphone out, and is less prone to skip? The D-50 is the most expensive second hand. Thanks.

    Meridian Explorer USB OTG

    Hi, i have asked for this dac as a christmas present. Are the options for this limited on Android devices outside the sound recorder pro app? I am considering a HTC One, a Sony Xperia Z1 or an Iphone 5s. Which one of these will be better? The meridian dac is ment to be one of the best around.  ...

    Better to buy Audeze headphones direct, and import to the UK

    Do you feel this would be a better option, even if taxes are added, as the LCD3 cost around £1700 here?

    33rd birthday, XBA 4ip vs EX-1000

    Which one should I ask for from my wife? The XBA 4ip has good isolation, good separation and layering from instruments, but is not very neutral. My music stock is pop, rock and dance.   The EX-1000 is neutral, softer and more realistic with the bass and the midrange. Treble is brighter.  ...

    Need advice to choose between the beyerdynamic T1 and audio technica w3000anv

    Can a horizontal slider rating be done to assess the sound of these in different aspects. Is the treble on the T1 not a problem, as long as the source is good enough? which of these is scalable, and responds to upgrades in source components? Is the w3000anv's detail retrieval good, though behind...

    help choosing sony xba 4ip

    From numerous descriptions i feel i would like the sound on offer. they also have an inline remote which is a plus for portable use. However it's that 8 ohm impedance. is this why they don't supply it with a 5 1/4" jack? how would these fair driven from a graham slee solo, with a 5 1/4"convertor...

    which dac to get to feed graham slee solo srg?

    I considered the musical fidelity m1dac, however concerned that it does not output to 192khz over usb. i would need to buy a usb to SPDIF convertor. the meridian explorer does, however i would need to buy a 3.5" to single ended male cable. would this degrade SQ? is there someone with such a...

    Graham Slee Novo

    Would this amp handle low impedance iems like the sony xba 4ip and the atomic floyd superdarts? Would it also get alot out of the sennheiser HD800? I have noticed it can drive at 16 ohm. How would this pair with a meridian explorer?

    iPad 3 with a camera connection kit driving a meridian explorer from a belkin USB hub.

    Would I be able to realise such a setup, as shown on this youtube video? Is the iPad 3 good for audio like the 2? Thanks.

    Is the Audioquest Dragonfly the most compatible with android phones?

    Should I opt for this, or the HRT microstreamer, if the hifi shop near me gets the dragonfly in often, and recommends it? I know it will be good, but it needs Sound Recorder Pro to work properly. I'm forgetting iPhone dacs for now, as I will opt for the iphone 5, and companies have nothing for...

    Is a Creek OBH 11 a good amp to pair with an MF M1 DAC for computer audio?

    I am planning on opting for this pairing, and will value input from headphone veterans. Can the OBH 11 hack it with low impedance headphones and IEMs e.g. 16 ohm?

    What do you need to make all portable DACs work with android and iPhone?

    Do you need sound recorder pro for the android plus a USB OTG cable?   Do you need an apple lightning to USB adaptor for the iPhone 5, to make all DACs work?

    Lookin for some IEMs Sony XBA 4 ip vs Shure SE 535 vs Atomic Floyd Superdarts

    I'm looking for some experienced comparisons out of the 3. I might end up getting 2 IEMs as i've come into some money from PPI (Payment Protection Insurance).   I'm a little dissapointed the sony XBA does not include a 6.3mm gold plated adaptor like the other 2 do. Does anyone know where I...

    Will an amp like the P51 mustang from RSA cure the recessed mids of the Superdarts?

    I have shortlisted the Superdarts, however not very keen on the scooped out midrange. Would this pairing be good to correct the sound signature?
