I only use a portable audio player via USB in my car and the one I have is an iPod Classic. I need a non-Apple one with as less features as possible, only need to store files and have them read by my car stereo. I would like quite a bit of storage though, either built-in or via SD cards. I...

I'm looking for this, but alas it's not available for mainland Europe: https://scufgaming.com/s/scuf-forza-elite/ I contacted Scuf, Microsoft and Xbox support for it before I try here. Preferably the version from the MS store but if not available (findable) the more expensive version from Scuf...

I'm not very familiar with these and would like to ask for some advice on which bluetooth to buy.   They need to be full size circumaural headphones with bluetooth. They're not really intended for music but I would still like to have the best quality. They are intended to connect to a...

I don't know much about this subjects which is why I am asking for a bit of info here. I am looking for a pair of USB headphones that will work on a Mac and give some kind of surround effect in a game. So far the best for that purpose I have found is the Razer Kraken 5.1. Does anyone have tips...

I'm far from a gamer but I tend to collect stuff and love having a few games on my Mac. I have some ancient DOS games installed (out of pure nostalgia, think Phantasmagoria, King's Quest, Larry, 7th Guest) as well as some newer games (to me at least, think Dragon Age, Tomb Raider, CoD, Grid)...

In french, terribly sorry about that but it was the most extensive info I could find about this amp/dac.   Link: http://www.hdfever.fr/2014/05/20/marantz-hd-dac1/       Marantz HD-DAC1: DAC externe, ampli casque à gain, DSD, contrôle du volume Parmi la longue liste des DAC externes...

First of all, why is the Music forum in a subforum?   And ... anyone know Dead Sara? I didn't b4 today. Their song "Weatherman" knocked my socks of ... I found it on par with most of Rage Against the Machine. Will be trying to find their CD here tomorrow. Anyone knows more about them?

I came across a couple of CD's mixed by a Dutch DJ called DJ Blue Flamingo. All the music he uses comes from 78 RPM records and is old Jazzy style, very fun and danceable. I was googling a bit and it seems like you don't need to buy 78 RPMs for that, most of the music should be available on...

For those who don't know, I'm not only a fan of TOTL closed dynamic Japanese headphones but also of B&W and Marantz gear.   Now Marantz has 2 exciting new DACs coming up in their Premium range this year, one in July and one in October. Their "Premium Range" is the higher priced/end range as...

I know nada about vintage amps so I have no idea which are good or bad. The requirements would be: A solid state receiver, thus with built in tuner. Very good headphone output. Preferably enough speaker power. Wooden housing or side panels. A lot of knobs and buttons, meters and blue and...

I am thinkig of getting a BA for my headphones which are all Audio Technica's apart from two Denon D7000 and a Fostex TH900 in the near future.   The AT's are hypersensitive headphones, therefore I wanted to ask if anyone has tried those with the BA, preferably out of the single-ended...

Beat Blaster     Notice what happens when he plugs the headphones in!  :)

EDIT: found it, nm.

I would like to connect my Dac to a power amplifier for driving my desktop speakers which are B&W XT2 bookshelves.   The requirements are: - SS stereo power amp only, no monoblocs or integrated, no tubes. - Class AB or Class D rated at around 100Wpc. - New, used or vintage are all...

As Audio Technica is becoming my favorite headphone brand I am starting to collect more and more of them. I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with info about their various models. The "Woodies" will probaly get the most attention here, but I certainly don't want to exclude some...

New sighting, couldn't find it on HF so I wanted to post it here.   Seems to be a 192/24 Dac with 2 USB inputs (V1.1 isolated and V2 class 2 high speed), as well as other digital inputs. 3 outputs (2x RCA and 1x XLR)   Price is said to be around €2500.   I'm not really familiar with...

I found this screenshot in another thread. The member who posted it seems to be banned now. I wonder what the two apps between iTunes and FrontRow in his dock are. the first seems like a player to me, the second probably has to do with headphones. Does anyone know?    

The new DAC.       Quote:  

I don't know much about portable amps since I have had no need for them. What I am looking for though is an amp/dac that I would call semi-portable to take from home to work and use on my desk, in bed or in the garden. It has to be amp and usb-dac in 1 unit, the size of most portable amps or...

I am looking for some advice on a nearfield desktop setup. Actually, I don't know what qualifies as nearfield or not.   This is going to be for my desk. My desk headphone setup is like this: iMac connected via usb to two Dac's each feeding two headphone amps. My desktop speakers for...

I am thinking of replacing the transfo in the  HA5000ANV which is for 100V with the transfo of a Yammy which exists in 100V and 240V version as I read somewhere the AT and Yammy use the same transfo. I would thus place a 240V Yammy Transfo into an AT-HA5000ANV.   I know someone who can do...

What are the risks of getting into trouble if you give someone your PayPal address? I would be the seller and have a new member from China who want's to buy an amp from me. The only posts on the site he has are all for buying cheap amps but he had no luck so far it seems. Can a PayPal...

I'm in the market for a DAC to connect via USB or optical to my iMac. I wonder if 192/24 will be better than 96/24 or if the quality of the DAC chip is more important. Also, will both of these DAC connected via USB decode ALAC? That's a must for me. And, what is the best connection method...

  I have seen a lot of K1000 in the "Headphones for sale/trade" forum the last few months and often I see buyers asking if it's a bass heavy/light version or sellers advertising it as bass heavy/light. No, I don't want to say it's falsly advertised, they probably believe it is bass heavy/light...

Did anybody here hook up some speakers to the WA5? I wonder if it could drive speakers like Tannoy Autograph Mini, SF Cremona Auditor, SF Minima or B&W 805. Also, floorstanders from these brands seem to have a higher efficiency on paper than the 2-way models. I can't imagine the Woo driving...
