Anyone having difficulties with low-power consuming USB dongle-style DAC/AMPs? Since updating the iOS the audio randomly stops after around 15 minutes and I have to disconnect and re-attach the CCK. Naturally, I am talking about the newer one with both lightning and USB ports. (My apologies...

Any dedicated iPhone users experiencing audio dropouts when connecting a low-power consuming USB DAC/AMP dongle to the new CCK with the lightning and USB port. I prefer the user interface and connectivity of my iPhone as a source over buying a dedicated DAP. This is extremely frustrating.

I am looking for a mono RCA-female to a 3.5mm female adapter or cable.

I have not seen a thread dedicated to this battery-powered USB regenerator. I received mine just this weekend and am using it with my iPhone and Geek Out 1000 v1 Still testing it, I sometimes get horrible crackling noise, could be my cables.

I am looking for recommendations of earbuds (not IEM!) for my iPhone 5 with similar microphone and volume controls as the standard earpods have...though with better sound.   It would be great if they also had a right angle jack and the wire was a flat-tape kind that did not tangle, but these...

Their support says that it streams stored media files without any compression.   Seems to me to be a good solution to add storage to an iDevice, or other smartphone or tablet.   Wondering if anyone else has used it, I don't see reviews by audiophiles

Requesting suggestions for a headphone pre-amp to install between my Schiit BiFrost DAC and iBasso Warbler P4, or alternatively an integrated-receiver Denon UD-M31.   Purpose is to have a left-right channel balance control primarily, would be OK also to be able to reverse polarity too.

When connecting my iPod Touch to my HRT iStreamer and iBasso P4 Warbler amp, via the LOD cable, why am I able to control the volume from the slider-control on the device?  This has happened intermittently to me.   I recall in the past that the volume control would be disabled on the device.

I have searched this site and the Web, the proposed solution of attaching unpowered USB hub does not work for me when trying to connect a Fiio E17 Alpen device. Yes, I turned off USB Charging on the E17.   I am hoping to obtain definitive advice on what to do.  I found a site that suggests...

I am interested in recommendations to use with a latop, or my iPad and CCK, which I understands bypasses the iPad's internal DAC.  I am interested in a DAC only without an internal amp, so I can swap different amps in the future.  Today, I use the iBasso P4 Warbler or a FiiO E17, or add an...

I want to bypass both the iPhone's amp and the E17's amp.   Goal: From iPhone (bypass amp) > go to the Fiio E17 Alpen as DAC only (bypass amp) > iBasso P4 Warbler amp > headphones.   I thought that using the Fiio L7 attachment to the E17 would help; but I realize that it wants a...

I am looking for: best mids for under $300, Open, over-the-ear full size headphone - to use at basement home office. Looking for soundstage and separation.   I have not yet experienced bass detail, nor airiness - curious about these characteristics.   I thought I had wanted treble...

I have a MacBook Pro > Schiit BiFrost DAC   Is it OK to connect the BiFrost via RCA cables to a 1/8" Y-cable spiltter to feed my portable iBasso Warbler P4 amp, AND my Denon UD-M31 amp which is connected to loudspeakers?   I figured this could be a better solution than to connect my...

Hello, I made the mistake of inadvertently going to to full-size headphone forum.   I want something that is easy to travel with for daily commuting on the train; they need not be perfect in the isolation, I don't like the pressure I feel from noise cancelers,   Desires: 1...

any suggestions for a headphone amp that has both class A and crossfeed ?   the XM6 looks interesting, but I beleive it does not have Class A, neither does AHA-120, nor Meier's.

Anyone else using this combination?   I would be interested in reading your experiences.   I have been enjoying this rig in the office feeding Beyerdyamics DT770 Pro 80's.   Though, admittedly, I am a newbie in this HiFi headphone endeavor.   I would also be interested in rolling...

Hello new friends, This is my inaugural post, having only recently started my foray into serious headphone technology.   So, I started with Audio-Technical ATH-M50s headphones (yeah, just a starter)... I know, not balanced, electrostatic, nor ortho.   Next, I bought the HRT iStreamer...
