My ears are most comfortable when using airplay from my iPhone. When I use it from my Mac it is more detailed but very harsh. I know Airplay converts the raw sound file into a streaming format which it sends to a receiver using something called Homekit? But Im not entirely clear on how this...

actually from the iPhone I find the mids are good and the bass is adequate but the treble is pronounced I would even say harsh and hurts a little. Im not one of those people who loves muddy bass and recessed treble. I just like good sound. will a good portable dac improve things?

Hi guys , I’m a long time member but alas in the last few years I hung my hat while I got really serious with work . I was on an Emirates flight right before corona hit , I was supposed to be in business and because it was overbooked they bumped me to first. They have those funky seats with...

I’d like to buy a nice desktop amp dac, but nothing too large. I guess my budget would be 500 or less. But for something really nice I wouldn’t mind saving up. I wouldn’t go over 2000 usd though.

Anything B&W sounds good. The PX was an excellent headphone and the PX7 follows suite. Marginally better and yes much more comfortable. It all depends what your source is with headphones like this....they are designed (and tested) with smartphones in mind Unfortunately bluetooth just doesn't...

I have some bowers and Wilkins headphones and Im just wondering if I should buy an amp/dac..? if so any recommendations for an amp/dac?

Does anyone know a place where I can purchase a quality 3.5mm cable ?

I am running :  laptop -> portable dac -> Fostex TH-900   I am hoping to buy a Hugo or a Mojo to use as the portable dac in my setup.   My question is   I am planning to use apple lossless 16/24 bit sound files over usb to the dac and to the headphone   Which amp will deliver me the...

How much power does the hugo have again ?

Hi,    Just bought these, pretty happy just 3 issues. Highs not where they need to be, not closed enough .. =>       They are dj cans, just wondering if re-cabling will make a difference? will this help with the highs?   What about if I dampen the inside behind the drivers? will...

HI,   In the past this has never bothered me, but for my next purchase i wanna try something slim , skinny that I can wear in public   does anyone have any suggestions?

anyone?

sorry meant portable player. bottom line both the dac and amp need to be used to produce sound from 99.9% of portable players.

hey guy, thats a common misconception. the LOD does bypass a lot of circuitry which causes interference to the signal...but without using the internal amp and dac there would be no sound. A portable player doesnt produce the same sort of lineout that a Hifi player can-> this is because they are...

Hi,    Im looking for an amp to use with my atrio's and iphone   iphone has wolfston dacs low in bass -> atrio has a lotta bass but lacks a spatial/airy quality...mostly because its an iem but also because of the signal coming from the iphone     any reccomendations? the slimmer...

basically the goal should be for the consumer to pop on the headphones and hear magic.

Sorry if I sounded pessimistic.   Im was only trying to point out that the goals of samsung as a (mass consumer brand) and the goals of the average headfier (niche enthusiast) are not aligned   However I do believe Samsung or Apple could learn a lot by reading through these forums.  ...

@supercurio   manufacturers dont care...they will spend money on whatever the market demands and what will get them sales.   at samsung audio is developed as part of one of their key pillars -> innovation   however its not a focus on the phones at the moment unless the demand for it...

id only use a phone as my source for portability reasons

@jasonb having worked for samsung in the phone section (no longer working there)  for over 2 years I learnt a bit about how samsung engineer audio into their phones.   In true jap / korean mentality they have partnerships with B&O and harmaaan kardon to design some specific phones in a (one...

sorry, i actually have an e5 not an e3...eh   anyways i bought a clip   problem solved...but i miss the midbass from the meizu   best player i ever had was a sony might buy one again

Hi,   Im running an m8-e3- atrio's   I like bass   Anyway my problem is hiss and very harsh highs, Im using the sptialisation function on the meizu m8 and specifically the phase correct eq   it really hurts my ears   I have an old impedance adaptor which seemed to sort it...
