    Meridian Explorer² Impressions Thread

    I solved the issue using the HiByMusic app. It correctly detects the Meridian Explorer, has many volume steps, and it even manages hires files, see the three leds showing a 192khz file. No need for a new portable dac and amp then!

    Meridian Explorer² Impressions Thread

    I succeeded in using the Meridian explorer (v1) with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10, via Usb C and and otg cable, and it's working fine, but only with a couple of app: Onkyo and Teac hires player. If I use any other app (i.e. poweramp) the output level is far too low. I tried to modify all the...

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

    Is this cap a result of the European version? Is the Onkyo affected by the same issue? Inviato dal mio SM-N915FY utilizzando Tapatalk

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    You may be totally right. In fact the Ps500e are not lacking any bass, quite the contrary. When I bought the Grados I was thinking to buy an Audiotechnica Ath-w1000x (I was intrigued by the wood, you know...), then I listened to the Ps-500e and I immediately liked them.   In anyway the...

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Thanks for your help. Actually the 55k file limit wouldn't be a problem, since I have only alac files encoded from cds. Very welcomed would be having 480MB, that's why I tought to the Crucial, a 512MB cf it's way too expensive. It's a real pity opening the brand new 160GB classic, so in your...

        Thanks for th precious recap. I just bought a brand new 160gb classic, and I have no intention of switching to Rockbox, so I read most of this thread in order to check if I could upgrade the inernal hard disk with a bigger one... My best choice it's the Crucial M480 but I couldn't find a...

    Hi, I just bought a brand new Classic 160 GB (model Mc293QL/A), and I was thinking about modifying it with a crucial m480. The goal is keeping Apple OS, so I was asking if it would be possible and if you have any experience or hints about...

    Sony PHA-3 balanced portable dac/amp

    I'm very attracted by this Sony (a little less by the price tag ) but I couldn't understand a couple of things:   1) Is it possible to use the balanced input with every headphones, and what kind of cable would it be needed?   2) Is it compatible with a generic android device (let's say a...
