Yes, I’m using the onkyo music player app. OS is 5.1.1. Tried the settings and search for external devices but no luck. Tried other streaming apps and no joy.- sanadsaad

I wanted to do a test between the Invicta and HDVD800. Ive already decided to buy the HD800...- sanadsaad

Nice deal on B&W P5. Should I go for it?
I auditioned them and they sounded much much better than the P3 or 451. They are giving me a 5 year warranty on em too!- sanadsaad

First audiophile experience
There is bass but it's impact is very very low. My macbook pro is the 2009 version. Anyway, im still waiting on the amps. I'll put in a good amount of hours listening to various tracks till the amps arrive. Then I should be able to hear the difference an amp makes with my headphone. The Crack...- sanadsaad

Thats great to know :) I can't wait for epiphany and Bottlehead to ship my stuff to me!

I cant really...- sanadsaad
