Onkyo HF Player creating a playlist
I know this is a bit old, but you can absolutely create playlists much easier than that. You don't need to play a track to make playlists. When you open the app, down at the bottom there will be an option to search via Artists, Songs, Albums, and "Playlists". -Cick on "Playlists" -Click on...- captainobvious

iFi audio Pro iDSD (Official) - NEW Firmware - MQA and more.
I prefer a low noise floor in my products, so yes- measurements matter. @iFi audio - Are there plans to make the Pro iDSD in a black case version? The latest Music Direct catalog I got shows it available in both. If so, when will that be available? Thanks!- captainobvious

I'm looking for a great DAC $2500 or less. (Brooklyn? iDSD? ADI-2?) Would love some expert opinions!
Is there something specific that makes the Hugo 2 unique compared to the others? I find them ugly as well, but it's more about the sound than aesthetics. Thanks.- captainobvious

Hi, As I have been considering the Brooklyn DAC+, ADI-2 DAC (from RME) and this Pro iDSD dac - and seeing how you have experience with at least 2 of these, can you comment on them and what you may prefer from each? I plan to use it as a dac only with VERY infrequent headphone usage. I like the...- captainobvious

Thanks for your response :) You make a good point too. Since B&M stores are few(er) and far(ther) between these days, and most of them that are still rely on direct/drop shipping to reduce the needed storefront and warehouse space, we get a very thin selection to see up close- if any. Really...- captainobvious

Ordering multiple headphones to find the one you want...uncouth?
I'm in the market for a pair of headphones after not having or using any for quite a few years. There are several models in my price range that I'm interested in trying, to see which works the best for my tastes. (DT880 / HD600 / HE400 / Q701 / Mad Dogs). I visited a local hifi store this week...- captainobvious

amp for Sony NWZ-Sxxx and K340 ?
I dont currently have a portable amp and I'm more the type that would rather buy the best I can get the first time around. I've spent lots of time and money going through the upgrade process to find the components I like in my car audio setup and, while it is fun, it can be an expensive...- captainobvious

How did you turn into an Audiophile?
I was at a (now known as Tweeter) store and I heard a pair of Sonus Faber speakers and was impressed. Then I listened to some electrostatic towers a few weeks later and I was like H-O-L-Y S-H-!-T After that I started with my car audio obsession...- captainobvious
