I currently have a this setup DAC - PerfectWave DAC Pre Amp - Apex Peak/Volcano Headphones - Audeze LCD-2 I'm looking for a good power amp and speakers to match. I'm after a neutral sound that will go with my current setup. I like the neutral sound because I can hear every note and it's...

I'm putting a small TA-2020 20Wx2 amp in my boat. I'm not sure if 6.5" or 6x9" would be better if I'm only installing 2 speakers. Which do you guys reckon will sound best and do you have any recommendations on what brand or model speakers to get below $200.

I've installed JRiver 16 and have the Perfectwave DAC playing songs through. When I play a song it will play fine then JRiver will freeze permanently when the song is about 5 seconds from finishing. Also when I play 24bit songs the PWD only plays them as 16bit. I have re-installed JRiver twice...

I want to use my PC (Foobar) as my source for my music but I'm not sure how to transport it to a DAC. I have 3m between my PC and amp so I'm not sure which will be the best option for me. Which would be better, a PC sound card, USB to SPDIF or something else like the Logitech Transporter SE? ...

I've read of a few bad dealings with this business but he has a lot of good feedback on ebay. All the bad strories I've read seem to be from selling stuff through audiogon. Has anyone bought any gear off these guys and had any hassles?   $2000 plus $200 for postage to Australia seems like a...

Can anyone recommend a good DAC for under $2000 to go with the Apex Peak / Volcano amp and LCD-2 headphones I've ordered? I have SPDIF out on my pc so usb ports aren't that important unless they are better than SPDIF connections. I'm after a DAC I can keep for years to come and not have to...

I'm looking at buying a pair of Audeze LCD2 headphones and need a good pre-amp to go with them. I don't mind spending up to $3000 for a good pre-amp but I don't want to go silly and I want value for money in the end. I want the pre-amp to be used in my future setup which is why I want a good...

I own a pair of Etymotic ER6i and my gf wants a pair for the gym. I'm hoping there is something better out there now since I've owned mine for over a year now. I'm sure there were much better IEM's to begin with but I had a limited knowledge of headphones back then (and still do). I'm after a...

I'm looking at upgrading my receiver and getting a AMP and DAC (as separate units). I currently have a Sony STR-DE495 5.1 Channels Receiver with the 5 sony speakers and sub that came with it.   I don't want the amp to be able to run a good set of headphones without needing a separate amp...

Buying a good set of headphones has become a lot more tedious than I first thought. I've been looking at the Sennheiser HD-650 and the Beyerdynamic DT 880. So far I've read they are both good but depends on what I'm listening to. I listen to every genre of music there is and I like to listen to...
