The Centrance HiFi M8 thread
It would be a great update! I always hope my M8 can handle DSD music. If so, I would not be interested in any other DACs! Thanks for developing the update.- Cosmid

Light Harmonic Geek Out EM/1000 Impressions Thread
Thanks for posting. Would you think the lighting port on iPad Air/Mini Retina would have more power, so it could support GO1000 without a power hub? Thanks.- Cosmid

wishing for an audiophile mobile phone
I used Etymotic 4P with iPhone 5S. The sound quality really surprised me, even though there is no amp involved.- Cosmid

My < $1000 system
I use iQube V1 to drive recabled HD650 (with RnB cable), and listen to laptop via Total Bithead as USB output. This combo sounds really sweet. I could imagine you will be happy with iQube V2 with USB DAC, and the price should be less than $1000 as well.- Cosmid

Ultimate Ears Superfi 5 Pro cable replacement
I bought a pair of Sf5Pro at least three years ago, but have not used it much. I prefer the sound of Etymotic ER4S much better. This Sunday I saw them on my draw, so I listened to them for a while.

... Amphion Helium [2'd] VS. Onix Reference 1 ...
I am using a pair of Amphion Heliums. My amps are Sophia Baby, Gainclone, or BK 2140. Baby amp is a tube amp. They do very well with each of these amps. They are a huge upgrade from Polk RTi4s. The sound is very smooth and clear, while the bass is plenty. I got mine from Audiogon at a great... -
Why lossless on portables?
I rip my CDs to computer in lossless format. It is easier if a portable player supports lossless format so I can copy my files to player and it is ready to go.- Cosmid

Small Speaker Stand Recommendation?
Give Sanus customer service a call. They have very good price for NF24 stands. I have a pair. They served my polk RTi4s very well. Now I have upgraded to Amphions and they are still great. -
