Are there any other over ear planars with LDAC besides the Hifiman Deva Pro?

Has anyone come across a DAP which has a digital USB output port or mode? I'm trying to test a non-oversampling DAC which only has a USB input, but most of the DAPs available only have coaxial digital outputs.

Are there any DAPs that control the volume in the digital realm rather than via analog attenuation?

Are there any DAPs which have associated apps which could be installed on phones or laptops to control the DAP remotely over wifi?

Apart from the Cowon Z2 which has VOIP style phone functions, does anyone know of a DAP which has phone capabilities equivalent to an iphone or samsung?  The IT programming behind telephony is rather simple, so it strikes me as strange that ibasso, cowon or HIFIMAN haven't included 3G or 4G...

Anyone know of a portable FLAC/OGG player which can be remote controlled via a web based interface (IPAD etc), or even has its own remote?   Reason being I'd like to be able to simply have the DAP on my home speaker system, then when leaving for a few days or commuting, etc, unplug it from the...

I've been using a laptop + Audio-GD Digital Interface (USB to SPDIF converter) with Foobar as the media player.   In the interest of storing my music just on a single device rather than constantly backing up between a laptop and a phone, does anyone know if there is a phone available that...

I have a CEC DAC which only does 24/192 through its xlr (aes/ebu) digital input.   What options are there for a usb->spdif converter that has aes/ebu output?   Currently, I'm using this one:  ...

I've recently finished my latest project and have put together some photos and a few comments after about 50 hours of burn-in time.   This unit has two functions: (1) Headphone Amp (2) Preamp   There is an LDR volume attenuator which controls the Headphone Amp volume, and also the...

Recently did this build and love it so much I'm going to do a premium build with upgraded components. What can you guys recommend for the following; Resistors (need to be 1/4W or 1/2W, previously used metal film) 2 pcs 10uF 25V capacitors (these are the supply caps) 2 pcs 100pF 50V...

Hi Gang, Well I originally posted about this headphone amp to see if anyone was interested in a joint build - there were no takers so I flew solo. It's my first project from woe to go, and it was AWESOME FUN!! It's a headphone amp from fellow Aussie Greg Ball (not sure if he is a member...

Anyone interested in doing a concurrent build of this amp? HeadAmp Cheap, easy and meant to sound ace!

Anyone here also using this cd player? I bought mine not long ago as an upgrade to the Cambridge 640C - without a doubt it has redefined the term 'upgrade' for me! So far I have only used the "class A" RCA outputs, but am considering using the "class AB" XLR outputs using a Cardas XLR->RCA...

Will be there for a few weeks shortly....anyone have some local knowledge to share?

I have a single source (DAC) and want to run it into a preamp/power amp and into a separate, dedicated headphone amp. Only problem is that there is only one non-variable output on the DAC. If I use a 1 male to 2 rca female splitter, will this; (a) degrade sound quality in any way (b) lower...

** This is a copy from the headamps forum as I realised it's quite relevant for DACs with computers as sources** Well after a month or so of waiting for my MGL Audio Labs DACPre (preamp + DAC + headphone amplifier) to be built and sent from Austria to Australia (yes, there is a difference all...

Well after a month or so of waiting for my MGL Audio Labs DACPre (preamp + DAC + headphone amplifier) to be built and sent from Austria to Australia (yes, there is a difference all you Dumb & Dumber fans out there!), I finally received it & have put about 50 hours on it and had a chance to write...

Anyone know where to shop?

Can get these headphone preamps locally with the Stello being about $250 AUD more expensive. Can anyone justify whether the Stello is worth the extra $$? I doubt ppl out there have listened to both, but I can't tell from the specs whether one would be better. I'm using K701s as cans and an...

I have a DAC which only has optical and coax inputs - would something like the Xitel MD-Port DG2 be suitable enough and not degrade SQ? Or would it be wiser to invest more money in a usb-> coaxial converter such as the Pop Pulse Digital Link II? Pop Pulse Digital Link II

(1) Is there any laptop which offers better on board digital out than other models around? (2) If using usb out to a usb-dac, can some laptops offer better sub out than others?

Is this DAP widely available in HK? Anyone know roughly what they retail for there?

I bought some Chord Crimson interconnects, and whilst they sound great, there's a lumpy white substance on the interior of the RCA connectors -- is this normal or should I try to scrape it off?

Does anyone have a link to an ebay seller who has toslink cables made of glass fiber? None of the manufacturers in the US seem to ship to Australia. Cheers.

Does anyone have much experience with this chip? I'm comparing a headamp with this chip (MGL mini DACPre) and the discrete circuit which ships with the Audio-GD Compass. Would a cheap discrete circuit like this compete with the TPA6120?
