    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'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

    Starting over: Portable player that I can pair with good DAC/AMP via line out.

    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...

    Android devices compatible with USB DAC Audio-out

    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...

    Cypher Labs Solo - does it matter which iDevice I choose?

    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...

    Fiio E17 and Cowon Z2

    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

    iPhone 4 versus 4S - which has better SQ

    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...

    Does the latest iPod Classic sound similar to Clip+?

    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...

    A Sony with a LOD doc?

    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?

    Do you need an audiophile grade MP3 player when you already have an audiophile grade portable amp?

    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...

    Best sounding portable source?

    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?

    New music player or a new Portable amp?

    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.

    DAC/Amp Combinations that work well with iPhone 4S?

    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...

    Replacing my amazing Sony X Series.... Need plenty of storage and excellent sound quality. Been looking into Cowon for a while now.

    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...
