In a few weeks I'll be getting a AKG N700NC wireless headphone, which has copped a bit of flack in reviews for only supporting SBC and AAC. My music library is on a Samsung Tablet, a Tab A ( T590) in lossless flac, and I'd like to optimize the wireless playback thru the headphones if...

Soon I will need a portable speaker for when I start doing house sits for people. I have a great portable DAC and headphones, but need a portable speaker for the rest of the time. Since I'm in other people's homes I can't set up my home system, but I want something that isn't a disgrace sound...

My partner listens to TV shows, especially things like Lethal Weapon, too loud for my liking. I've found Doppler earbuds online, they seem to fit what I'm after, the ability to compress or tailor sounds,but are a bit pricey. Any comments on Doppler or similar but cheaper earbuds appreciated...

Looking for a recommendation for a sub 50 dollar cable with a rich, organic nature. Just using a cheap no name at the moment which sounds okay but sterile. Would audio quest evergreen be about my best bet at this level?

Looking to simplify my setup with an integrated headphone amp/dac. Since I may, in the not distant future, be using headphones exclusively a Line in to connect my turntable would be a big bonus. Since at the moment I still have use of my home stereo, and considering that my existing Lite dac 60...

I might have an opportunity shortly to pick up a dragonfly at a reasonable discount to new price. Headphones it will be used with are Audio Technica AD900s. My current headphone amp is a de Paravicini design I bought somewhere in the 1980s (it's been Good) while my DAC is a Liteaudio Dac60 with...

I have been really impressed with a recent purchase, a Lenovo k3 Note smartphone, driving VJay headphones. The combo is very, very good. I have a pair of full size Audio Technica  A900 headphones and would love to try them with the Lenovo. Problem of course is that they are 6mm full size jacks...

I have a lenovo K3 Note smartphone that has been rooted with a Nexus OP - nice phone that now runs like a dream I have Onkyo's HF player installed but oddly, I'm battling to like it over the stock Nexus player. Very detailed sounding, but it just strikes me as being a bit mechanical sounding...

I like the CX 300s, also really like the PX100 headphones also by Sennheiser. I have Audio Technica AD900s as well and appreciate them although I find them a little "lean" sounding at times. Looking for an upgrade to the earbuds, to be used both thru a Samsung Galaxy Tab a and a proper headphone...

Purchasing one of these shortly and wondering if Mediamonkey is a good program to run on it or any tips on getting the best SQ out of it. I've read somewhere that these can match the Cowon's but need some TLC to get the best out of it. One model apparently uses a Wolfson DAC but I've no idea if...

I have a 2 year old Mk111 and have replaced the driver tubes with Voshkod 6J1P-EV. It works really well but I'm tempted to try and get that "last 15%" that I've seen referred to. Can anyone tell me what power tubes might work best with the Voshkods and whether the somewhat expensive output...

I love my LD to bits with the one gripe that it has only one input. I will shortly need to add at least one extra input, and really could use another 2-3 to allow connecton of DAC, DVD player and turntable (via an external phono stage). Finding such a device has been surprisingly hard. It only...

In the next few days a Musical Fidelity V-Link is going to land on my doorstep and the Lenovo laptop I use will start to double as a music server. Finally making the transition to a PC based music setup. I am not the least bit PC or software knowledgeable so an easy to install and use solution...

Within the next two weeks I need to buy a laptop to replace our home PC. Tasks will be pretty basic, ie downloading TV shows, music, web browsing and playing Youtube videos, usually using a pair of Sennheiser PX100s. Gaming and other PC intensive applications generally won't be an issue. I...

Owing to the lay out of my hifi room the sitting position is a bit too far away from my Little Dot MK111 and i need an extension cable for the headphones. I've found cables for the smaller connectors without problem but the old style chunky connector, as standard on the Audio Technica 900s just...

I love my LD Mk111, so far used only with the stock tubes, and now I'm trying to tailor it a bit to the rest of my system. I use the beautifully clear Jungson JA99C, a brilliant amp that HiFi World recommends but described as "not famously warm" into self built World Audio design speakers...

Just received my Mk111 and it is totally dead straight from the box. I've reseated the valves, checking them for bad pins, of which  which there aren't any, used two differrent power cords and even two different wall sockets. I've gently moved the power cable while connected to see if it's just...

I'm about to order a LD mk111, which will have a landed value of about $245 US into Australia, probably around $280 in local currency. I've never been hit for import duties before, but I think that often the declared value has been minamal or the item even marked as a gift. How likely is it...

I can't get the may issue of Stereophile but believe Sam Tellig's column was on the Little Dot (not sure which one) and Music Hall headphone preamps. If anyone who has this issue can just post the basics of his thoughts on these two I'd be most grateful. Being in Australia Stereophile isn't...

I've been looking at the Shanling PH300 which is well priced on ebay at about $300 US. i need a combined preamp and headphone ampifier (amp is Jungson JA99C, phones are Audio Technica AT700s) since I use both equally and it simpilfies wiring etc if i just use the one pre. Any other amps i should...

Shanling seems to have a reputation for good, musical products and this combined pre and headphine amp has me interested. As good as no information on the net though - has anyone any experience with this unit in both it's functions? Thanks, hal55 

I have the opportunity to purchase the above players at about the same price. I can't make out from the limited reviews whether there is a SQ difference between them or not. I'm not worried about features much, just good SQ with minimal or no tweaking. If someone can point me in the direction of...

I've seen NADs go for relative peanuts on ebay and I'm after a cheap pre with a clear, musical nature and a treble that is extended but smooth - something that will suit piano and close miked vocals without erring to hardness. From my hifi memory I think that NAD may fit the bill. Is the late...

My listening room measures 4 x 6m with 2.7m ceilings. Speakers are place on the 4m end and the room is reasonably furnished, inclusing a largish rug fixed to the wall at the opposite end.Speakers (wd25T EXCELS) are some half metre in from side walls and I'm forever fiddling with the distance...

I'm after recommendations for the best players up to $100 US (preferably a bit under) for use primarily with Senn PX100 headphones. Requirements are good battery life, good to very good SQ, ease of use and sounds good straight out of the box with no or minimal tweaking. Ability to play FLAC a...
