    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I have been using the BTR5 for about 2 years and its been great from the start. However a few days ago I noticed that the volume of sound differs depending on what device it is connected to. So for instance, if I connect the BTR5 to my Samsung tablet and play music at a given volume, it will be...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Forgot to update the thread regarding my experience: The deal on amazon.de which pops up now and again, is probably a scam. I tried to buy the headphones. After the order was placed, the sum of money was reserved on my credit card. However the purchase never went through. My money was refunded...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Went ahead and ordered a unit from Amazon for approx 500 EURO. Probably getting scammed... How much the headphone is made of plastic? Are the headphone sliders made of metal?

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I might sound like a country cousin for even contemplating these deals on the TH900 from amazon: Is this legit? It is listed as used but says "brandneue produkte", "brandnew product"

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Received my unit. My initial reaction is that the range is not great compared to cheap BT-earbuds from Anker or the Sony MDR-1000X. I live in a house with two floors. The BTR5 is paired to my Laptop which is placed on the second floor. The transmission of sound gets interrupted when I am in my...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Started to feel worried that I am going to ruin my 3,5 mm audio out on my new laptop by accidentally bumping my hand into the male connector from time to time. So I just bought the BTR5 from https://www.fiio.eu/ Do any of you guys know if that site is legit? Are there any better deals to be...

    Burson Conductor - DAC/amp successor to the HA-160D

    I have now used the Conductor for a couple of weeks.   Something that irritates me is that I often get static noise from time to time whenever I start to play music after having paused it for a while. Does anyone know why this keeps happening?   Then there is this clicking noise when you...

    Best headphone/amp-dac setup for EDM. Budget: around US$4000

    OK. Even though the Ultrasones are OK  in the bass department and provides good highs, I want to go to the next step.  I want the bass to be more present whilst being able to provide clarity.   Keep in mind that I have only used the Ultrasones with the Matrix mini so they might not have...

    Best headphone/amp-dac setup for EDM. Budget: around US$4000

    I am looking for outstanding prescence/clarity but with, and this is very important, very good bass response. I want to feel the bass.

    Best headphone/amp-dac setup for EDM. Budget: around US$4000

    Hello At the moment I have  a Matrix mini amp/dac connected to my laptop. I mainly use a pair of Ultrasone 900 headphones.   I want to change my setup altogether or at least the amp-dac part. As far as the headphones concerns, I prefer closed cans.   Most of the time I listen to EDM.  ...

    Burson Conductor - DAC/amp successor to the HA-160D

    Ok, so there is no standby button? It's just on/off through a main switch in the back? Would this risk the life of the amp? I am guessing that turning the amp on and off through a power switch  puts more strain on the Conductor compared to a standby button?   Am I wrong?
