Do SmallGreenComputer's stuff work if I also want to use streaming services like Spotify and Primephonic in addition to playing my own music collection?

Nice! I'll contact SmallGreenComputer for more details. IIRC I did buy a silent PC from them many years ago, still loving it.

Thank you! Do you mean this product? It looks way more affordable than many of Aurender's products. IIUC, I control the device (which is a modified PC) via a third-party controller app (as opposed to Aurender's closed proprietary app). What happens if I want to add a streaming service not...

I'm looking for a high quality music server that can play music off my NAS stream from Roon/Tidal/Spotify support for Primephonic would be nice What companies/products should I be looking at? I'm completely new to this area so have no clue where to begin. My current setup: silent PC ->...

Wow! Please get your hands on one, John, and let us know how it sounds. And if/when you upgrade your Mirus to the new chips, let us know too!   I was debating on whether to upgrade my DA8 or my PC, but I guess it's the PC first until the new generation of DACs stabilises.

Thanks but I'm just concerned about the DAC. I already have a separate headphone amp.

Oh I've been waiting to hear your thoughts wrt Directstream vs Mirus. Did you post that somewhere and I missed it? Otherwise, could you tell us a bit more about it?   And what a difference an amp makes! I've had about an hour with the D2 and DA8 hooked up to the V281, and now I'm distinctly...

Hi John,   Was wondering if you had compared the Mirus to the DA8 MkII, which as I recall you spoke of as being in the same league as the Anedio D2. How does the Mirus compare to Yulong's flagship DAC?   On another note, I just got my Violectric V281 and it's thrown a spanner in the works...

Hi,   I'm looking for an amp to put between my LCD-3s and my Anedio D2. I've been recommended the Schiit Mjolnir 2. Do you folks have any other recommendations in the ~$1000 price range that I can try out?

Hi folks,   What're your opinions on getting a dedicated audio PC (CAPS or PPA) vs spending the money (the same amount, really) on a high-end PMP (e.g. HiFiMAN HM-901s)? I'm mainly concerned with source quality, since I already have the other elements of a computer music chain (DAC, amp).  ...

Thanks!

Mainly quality of material, secondarily quality of sound.

I dislike the build quality of the stock cable and am looking far an upgrade. Unfortunately, most recommendations are out of my budget, since they're tend to be $200-300+ fancy silver upgrades. Now I'm not dissing the whole cabling thing, but I just can't afford the moolah.   Are there any...

Doesn't the peroxide affect the foam?

Thanks for the vid...planning on getting complys 

Hmm...is there a difference in sizes between the different tip lines, i.e. is the small for the P-series different in size from the small of the T-series

Any plans to reveiw the P-series complys?

Second the MkIII, esp with tube rolling

I can second the tube-rolling business: using the Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV really made me fall in love with this amp. A pity I've upgraded and am now looking to sell it 

SparkyXI: how do the comply P-series compare with the ACS tips?

Thanks for the reply. Any notes on using these with complys?

Hi,   Choosing between the two IEMs listed in the subject. My priority is sound isolation. These are my go-to-work phones so sound quality is not that important; isolation, however, is paramount because I take public transport.   The mega-IEM guide here on head-fi...

Am looking for the above mentioned item so I can hook up two balance-cabled Senn HD800s to a Little Dot Mk VIII SE (a balanced headphone amp).   So far I've found this, but am not sure if it's good, let alone suitable, http://shop.lentequip.com/products/12-24v-xlr-splitter   Referrals to...

Hah dallan definitely agree with you there. I'm just gonna go with an interconnect upgrade, an amp upgrade (to a Minibox E+, don't ask from what). Was sorely tempted to go with a Senn HD600 recable...but was wondering whether it was worth it. Recabling 6ft looks like it'll eat 300+ from...

Hmm... Maybe something < $100 that provides performance equal to or just slightly less than the ALO Cotton?
