I thought the same thing when I switched to the XDP-100. But after a while I started to miss the easy going nature of the X5III. The Pioneer was a pain in the butt for me. I finally broke down and bought a brand new LG V30 for under $180 and now i'm set. Been set for months. The Pioneer will not...

Odd, first off, I own and adore my pair of SE846's. Okay, just for giggles I went on Amazon on Monday and found you could buy a brand new pair of 846's for $629 if you accepted that it came with a wireless adapter. I don't know or care much about wireless adapters so I don't care enough about...

I was using a Fiio X5iii when I first got my 1200s. Then I switched to a Pioneer XDP-300r. Hmmmm. A month ago I bought a brand new LG V30 for a measly $175 and using UAPP I am quite happy with the sound. Also, the V30 battery life is extraordinary compared to the other devices. I think I may be...

For me the 300R was always missing album art on one day, okay the next, same playlist both days just to be certain. Every time I turned it on it seemed there was some new adventure to get it to play. Basically, your description of your Fiio. My Fiio bothered me in two ways, one, the long startup...

I am using the headphone out to my Shure KSE-1200s. I believe the same jack can be a line out, but you may want to do some research. There are V30 threads here with a ton of info. I was just stunned by how inexpensive it is now and how much easier it is to work with than the Fiio or Pioneer. And...

I have a Fiio X5 III that was making me sad with fiddly things happening all the time. So I bought a 300R. With the 300R different fiddly things happened and it was actually more trouble than the Fiio. So a few weeks ago I bought an LG V30, brand new for $170. The V30 smokes both the Fiio and...

My Euphony PTS and Keces P8 arrived yesterday. I had a couple of issues getting going (there is a power button on the PTS?) but a quick call to Arthur and I was playing music. The trio sounds way better than my PC running Euphony out to my Matrix did. I have just spent nine straight hours...

Yesterday I got a UltraRendu device and an Uptone LPS 1.2 power supply from a fella cheap. I have ended up sad is it can't pass bit perfect data through JRiver, unlike so many other devices I have. Plus it injects weird pops and stammers into the music whenever it feels like it. Bah. Euphony...

I actually found that setting the first day I ran it and checked that box. It just seemed like a good idea. :)

Thanks Arthur, it is interesting that Foobar and JRiver both know about and take care of this most silly request. (LastFM Scrobbling) Hopefully the programmers are game. :) I have just spent a couple of hours listening to the same playlist over and over. My PC outputs via a Wireworld Platinum...

I am convinced. I just swapped out the Cisco for another brand "dumb" switch. Everything works fine now. I went ahead and did the permanent install thing which created the second partition on my thumb drive. I was then able to update to the latest version of the software. I am listening to it...

Unfortunately I am just a normal human so I don't have access to Cisco programs that will allow me to access my "Smart" switch. The same switch, with the same cables sees and allows the computer just fine when it's a Win 10 Pro computer. Turn it into the server and not so much. My solution was...

I am glad you held on to yours, I hope the wife understands. (Mine doesn't even bother asking about such things. She knows I am lost)

Hi Ken, That is part of the plan.

First off, thank you for your reply Arthur, I really appreciate it. I downloaded the trial and put it on a brand new USB 3 thumbdrive. After a bit of this and that I had it up, registered and running. It did not work plugged into my Cisco Switch so I pulled the Ethernet cable that supplies the...

Interesting. I just read 13 pages and the Euphony hardware/software really has my attention. I am curious as to why this thread has been quiet since February. Has everything that could be said been said? :) I have a Lenovo mini plugged into a Lenovo touch screen monitor that I have Fidelized...

I liked mine just fine with Shure SE 846 headphones. I have many standalone players as well but I was never the least bit sad with my S8. Now I have an S10+ and it seems a bit better still. With the right headphones the S8 is just fine. There is always something better but if the S8 is in your...

Blaspheme!!!

I own both the 846 and 1200s and I am quite certain you will not have an issue with returning the 1200s should you purchase them. They are a nice step up, they still have the Shure house sound but it's oh so brilliant. I still listen to one pair or the other every day and my preference is...

The devices I connect to have variable output levels so I do not use the -10 myself.

See, sure, you could go through all that. Of course. But do it after you reboot the router. It's so easy and it is often the issue.

When I see things like that happening I reboot the router first. That normally solves the issue for me.

I thought we had a rule around here to never discuss cables. :)

I don't have either of those, but using the unbalanced out works well enough. I do like the detailed sound myself.

Six weeks ago I picked up a Pioneer XDP-300R. Now that I have spent some time with it I can compare it to the X5iii. First thing, the Pioneer has idiosyncrasies as well. It usually is not in the mood to display album art. Sometimes it does, most times it doesn't. It sounds fine, I would call it...
