    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    This looks like an interesting amp. Does anyone have impressions when paired with JH16 (non-freq)? Currently looking to upgrade from my odac/o2amp, any comparisons against my current amp/dac would be appreciated as well.

    What are head-fi members views on apt-x lossless codec (over bluetooth)?

      Hi Class D,   The BBP (http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-pro) actually do support AptX (not sure why the website doesn't say). It has the logo on the box, and the AptX splash screen appears when I connect it to my SP3 via the Azio dongle. The fact that I noticed a volume...

    What are head-fi members views on apt-x lossless codec (over bluetooth)?

    I just wanted to input some information pertaining to the Azio USB dongle. When I first got my BackBeat Pro headphones I connected to my Surface Pro 3 BT (4.0) and I didn't notice a difference between the audio quality when I use either my SP3 or Azio dongle BT connection. I then went and...

    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    I got my BackBeat Pros today and my initial review is that I'm keeping them.   BBP > Pendulumic s1+     The S1+ is boring, the BBP is fun. Multipoint is pretty awesome, though I seem to be getting some odd skips between my SP3 and my HTC One (m7) from time to time. They're probably both...

      SP3 doesn't have AptX, but I just got my Azio dongle. I tried AptX with the Pendulumic S1+ via the Azio dongle, but there is still no wow factor there. The bass is lacking, mids and highs are clear though. I ended up ordering the BackBeat Pros over the weekend since they came back in stock...

    Centrance Mini-M8

    I was really interested in this amp/dac combo until I read about the hiss issues. I do consider that unacceptable when it comes to ciems/iems. Hopefully there is an update to fix this issue!

      Not sure where I heard about the different music player, been reading too many reviews lately lol. I'm looking for a BT headset that I can use to listen to music and movies/tv. I'm moving and won't be able to bring my home theater system with me so I need something to hold me over. I be using...

    JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions

      What is your setup? I currently have my 16s with a odac+oamp and a copper cable (can't remember who I got it from) and theres some sibilance that has been getting to me when I listen to certain songs. I'm not sure if its the amp/dac combo or what..

      I don't have any at the moment. I read about neutron while I was looking at reviews, apparently poweramp doesn't take advantage of AptX. I did A/B between the two and after maxing out the audio settings (more cpu usage for higher quality, etc) neutron is a clear winner. I don't really like...

    I just received my Pendulumic Stance S1+ today as well from amazon. My only issue at the moment was that the sound didn't seem to come in centered for me.. I messed around with the pads and it seems a lot better now. Pretty sure I can see a size difference between the cups, but I'll have to get...

    Topping VX1... anybody try it yet?

    Has anyone compared the VX1 to the TP30? I like my TP30, but it's lacking a little in power for my speakers. The volume doesn't really move once I go past 12 o clock.
