I don't listen to music a lot but I have recently spent some time listening to my Triplefi 10s running the optical output from my PC into my iBasso D10.  My PC is in the basement and I want this SQ when sitting in the family room (wife watching TV).     In the family room I use the triplefis...

I have 2 options for my portable setup The first one is dap Rocoo BA with 16gb micro sd card and Shure SE215 I'll have to stick with entry level iem SE215...   The second one is dap Sansa Clip+ 8gb and IE80 or SE535 I'll have to sell my Rocoo BA to buy less expensive dap and a high-end...

I'm trying to figure out DAPs that have an optical out for my iBasso DB2. I know of two the iRiver 120/140.   Are there any DAPs that are in productions that have optical out?   Thanks

Done a lot of reading in this section of headfi and realize this may not exist...   My ipod classic is skipping songs every 15 seconds. No idea what to try besides restoring it, etc. (If anyone has an idea of a solution, willing to try!)   But I'm not loving being linked to the Apple...

Hi,   I couldn't find such a list anywhere so I wanted to create a resource for people to post android devices that can run USB DAC. So far, I was able to get Nexus 7 tablet to run my Practical Devices XM6, and a cheap-o USB audio plug-and-play device. To do this, I had to:   Buy an OTG...

If I'm using the Cyber Labs Solo with an iDevice, does it matter which I device I choose in terms of the quality of the output?  I know that people choose some of the older iPod models because they want the higher quality wolfson DAC, but if I'm using the Solo, I don't need to worry about that...

Hey guys i just want some advise. i can't make up my mind which one to buy. I can get a ipod nano 16gb 4th gen or a ipod classic 7th gen 160gb for about the same price. Give me your suggestions on which ipod you would get.   Thanks.

hi. I have Sennheiser HD25-1 II headphones and i wonder what players work best with my headphone? (I especially want your opinions abot ipod touch)

I'm looking for a DAC with a good DAC and un-amped line-out I can connect to my iBasso PB2. I'm been looking but I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere, was hoping you guys could help. My portable setup is an iBasso DB2 (DAC) and iBasso PB2 (AMP), here's my dilemma. I can only hook use...

Hello,   Would I get any benefit if I were to hook up a FIIO E17 portable amp to my Cowon Z2 player.   I primarily use Flac's on my Cowon Device.   Also could I do any damage to either device or my headphones if I were to do so?   Thanks Mike

Hi I have a iPod touch first generation and am wondering what would be a better investment to have a higher quality source. 1) Getting a fiio amp (please recommend one) 2) buying a new iPhone or iPod touch (latest generation) 3) buying the cheaper models of the hifi man player such as hm 601/2...

I am thinking of buying a secondhand iPhone 4 but not sure whether to buy a 4 or 4S. I am buying mainly as a music making phone with apps like Nanostudio and as a replacement for my Sony A829. Is the SQ comparable to the Sony DAPs? I am looking for clear detailed SQ with good bass and good...

I have kinda given my mother my Clip+ as I end up preferring my Galaxy Nexus with Poweramp EQ sound to the flat sound of Clip+. I am concerned that I will feel the same about iPod Classic. I have been strictly headphone out only as I prefer not to mess with LOD and amp as that would be another...

Which Sony model has a doc that will accomodate this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-Line-Cable-Walkman-Player/dp/B004M172JA   When that Sony is used with the line out cable, does that mean the signal is as clean compared with an iPhone/iPod?

Hi guys,   I am facing a real dilemma now, as I am not sure which option is better, sound quality wise: best headphones plus average portable player, or should I rather buy best possible portable player and average headphones...   Would be great to see what would you choose and why.  ...

I was looking at some MP3 players like the Colorfly C4, iBasso DX100, etc. and they look really nice and I kind of want to buy one. But I have an iPhone and was thinking if i needed to get one of those MP3 players if i had a "good" amp like a Fiio E17 or something. If i were to get one of those...

Which is the best sounding portable regardless of price?  My research seems to indicate the iPod+CLAS?  I suppose adding the right DAC to that would improve things even further?

As an owner of an iPhone 4S that just got an offer to swap it for a Galaxy S3 i took a little while to convert the accurate measurements taken by the helpful and skilled guys of Goldenears.net   This is just a thread meant for reference aimed to guys that take into account objective data...

I will be getting one or the other. i would like you to help me decide which one is better, im only going for sound everything else is just a bonus. I was trying to see what sound card the galaxy has to no evail. I have had cowon before I know have a Appe ipod 160 gb just looking for others i...

What would be the best idea? I already have a 64GB iPod touch. So would it be worth it to get a new music player or just get a portable amp for it? Budget is $275 because that's what I would probably get for it.

I'm looking into purchasing a $200-$300ish DAC/Amp combination to use with my iPhone 4S, which to me sounds decent but not too amazing as is. Has anyone had any success with anything in that price range? For the records, I've been using Westone ES3X custom IEMs for listening. The more portable...

Well, I just lost my Ipod Nano 5th Gen 8gb whilst at the gym, and nobody has returned it; so I guess I'm on the hunt for a new DAP. That little thing served me well for years.   What I am looking for is something that has over 8gb of storage, prefereably flash as I enjoy exercising with...

....and I'm looking for a new player. Unfortunately I cannot find the discontinued iAUDIO 7 anywhere online - if anyone knows where to buy (even refurbished is fine) it I'm all ears. As for its replacement, here's what I'm looking for: Absolute requirements: - 8 GB or more - Flash-based...

Unfortunately my Sony X Series is going to have to be replaced quite soon, because occasionally it crashes and the only way to get it back on is with its usb cord. I used my X series with my ath-m50 headphones. Btw the sound was amazing! Any genre really. I listen to hardcore, classic rock...
