    Best portable Android based player with 5.2ghz AC wifi?

    Yep looks like that model fits the bill, how is the battery life, wifi connection and sound on it? Can it use any app from the Google play app store?

    Best portable Android based player with 5.2ghz AC wifi?

    Sadly it seems at some point LG may be leaving the phone market, I've been using their phones for a long time now as my portable music player. As an aside I have a DLNA home server pushing my lossless audio so I use my phone and Foobar Android music player to access all that music in my home...

    Most reliable Blue tooth headphone for jogging

    Hello, This post isn't strictly about sound quality as it is for my wife. She has had issues with like 4 pairs of blue tooth ear buds for jogging. Either they stop holding a charge or one of them cuts out. We have had to return 3 pairs of them so far. She prefers the ones with ear hooks and not...

    Best reasonably priced portable/small Tube Headphone Amp

    So been an audiophile for decades, and I would finally like to take a dive and hear the quality of a tube amp. I'm more of a main system audio guy and I'm happy with my home setup so my portable area would be the best candidate to fit in my desire to try out the sound quality of Tubes. My...

    Best wifi + DLNA enabled DAP for under $500

    So I remembered the issue with the Onyko I read about, bad battery life and the headphone socket being to loose. I get 5-7 hrs with my Windows Tablet and would at want that with the Onkyo

    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    So is this a good all around player with DLNA and wifi? I have pretty much researched every mid to high end DAP with wifi and it seems they all suck with wifi and have dropouts and stuttering playback. I have a DLNA server in my have with tons of lossless and 24bit 96k audio on it and I'd use...

    Best wifi + DLNA enabled DAP for under $500

    Looked into the Cayin I5 and it also has wifi issues and is not a reliable audio player in that regards.   Oh Well it does not look like a workable audio player for me exists I just want a good sounding player with good reliable wifi for DLNA or Tidal, that doesn't sound like something so out...

    Cayin i5 Lossless Android DAP with AKM4490 DAC supporting 32/384 PCM + 64/128 DSD

    So how good is the wifi on this player? I would use it as a DLNA player streaming lossless audio up to 24bit 96k Wirelessly. Any wifi interfearance? Does Tidal work well on it? Any type of auto donwsampling when you use the EQ?

    FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

    Well that sucks, is their any wifi enabled DAP that runs well and doesn't have issues? I've read of problems with the Pioneer and Onkyo wifi DAP's as well. If not I'll just stick to using Windows Tablets as my audio players. I don't have any wifi issues and AIMP has alot of sound options for me...

    Best wifi + DLNA enabled DAP for under $500

    While slighltly out of my Price range the FIIO X7 also seems to meet my needs. What are the opinions of using this as a DLNA player? Any wifi stability issues? Do all EQ settings still apply when using DLNA? Any quality limitations?   Also which amp modules gives a natural warm analog sound...

    FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

    So what amp module would I use if I prefer a warm analog sound? I'm looking at DAPs again after using windows tablets and want a wifi enabled DLNA DAP and the amp modules are pretty interesting.   How is the wifi stability and DLNA playback? Any issues?

    Pioneer's first DAP, the XDP-100R announced in IFA

    How is DLNA wifi playback on this? Does the EQ and other DSP options reduce bit rate to 48k?

    Best wifi + DLNA enabled DAP for under $500

    So I've been using windows tablets with AIMP installed as my portable music device for the last 5 years and since then it seems some major strides have been made in DAP's.   I would need a wifi enabled device with seemless DLNA playback. I have 2 TB's of lossless and high res audio and assett...

    Nokia Lumia 920 sound quality?

    I've had one for some time now and it sounds really good but needs an amp.   The sound signature is warm and the EQ works well on it.

    Surface Pro as a source device

    Just an FYI the surface pro works really well as a source device. Battery is of course not great compared to smaller portable devices but the sound quality of the headphone output is really good. Win8 also has DLNA client capability built in. Using the Xbox music app to browse my DLNA server I...

    The Zune is dead!

    Just the way the market is going, with Win7 phones accessing the zune marketplace there probably was no reason to keep putting out Audio only players. I've moved onto a win7 tablet for my portable audio needs

    EXOPC- Win7 tablet as portable source

      Quote: Better battery life would be awesome but somehow this device exactly fits my needs even though I was not expecting it. The key here is with Ipads, android devices etc you can't map a drive to a Windows PC and play back any media type. Some programs allows you to stream your...
