I am using this apple dongle with a Kano kids tablet (cheapest laptop at best buy I could find during the days of this human malware as a music server) to my Yamaha SR 202 stereo receiver. I am using musicbee as my player. I also have a One TB WD portable ( my library on it) drive hooked up to...

Sad to see him retire.Tyll will be missed by us “ old timers”. He was always helpful to us. Headroom was one of the first headphone venders that appeared here. I bought most of my gear from his company. My first amp, I still have a headroom bag that I treasure. It was time that this board had a...

I bought the black on ear basics. I paired it with a Fiio E6 and the 7" fire 49.00 tablet. with the amp. they do sound good. Bass is heavy but not overwhelming. Actually, they sounded way better than then the Sony's that I bought in the same price range. I wanted a to see what I could do with a...

Nokia mix radio. Just type in nokia in the search at the app store.

I have a surface 2, and the output is better than the original RT.I use Nokia mix app on it. My only gripe is that there is no gapless playback, or being able to use remote mic/ff buttons either android or apple variety common on some headphones nowadays. I still go for my ipod shuffle when I...

I just bought a X3 on the 4th of July sale, loving this player for its size and playback capabilities. Loaded the latest firmware, 64 gig scandisk. No problems with playback at all. Most of the time I use a USB card reader to load files, much faster, Also, I have been using Sony's media go...

I've got a pair of the new solo 2's, and I am impressed. They are my go to phones with my ipad mini retina. Are they neutral? more so than in the past. Still have the bass, but it is toned down from the previous model. My ipad can drive them with ease. And I am a old man on this forum 53 years...

I actually bought  the beats solo 2's. Ill admit they are a improvement over the originals. The mids are more pronounced, they are bass heavy still, but not to the point where it over bloated. They have a more in your face sound. The highs are there, again it depends on your source. They remind...

Just picked up a original Surface RT.. the headphone out of this thing is fantastic! has more output than my ipad, truly a bargain at 180.00. It will take up to a 64 GB micro sd card, plus a USB port. I know this it got a bad rap from tablet users, but as  a audio/ video play back it's worth it...

Ok, before I get bashed to death on here, let me tell you why. I picked up a new ipad mini, and tried my different cans on them, just wasn't satisfied. I tired the senns  momentous, which are good phones, but I didn't like the fact that they needed a amp to my ears to properly  drive them on my...

Has the industry grown since I Joined? Yes by leaps and bounds. More choices are always a good thing. Me being an old member, what would I recommend for a newbee  getting into this hobby? go back to the basics! get a good source first, like a decent CD player at home. plenty of them on ebay...

Just wanted to say Jason, loving my new Magni, and Modi(optical) great quality products! I haven't had a amp this good since my Gilmore version one. I've tried others, but your right you guys are the Schiit! Absolutely dead silent, no hiss or buzz like others I've tried, keep up the good work...

I too am a old member, and yup I agree with the OP. In, fact I raised  a similar question years ago...See this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/62804/is-the-golden-age-of-headfi-over

Sorry I didn't reply right away, but I'm not a gamer. I also did find a nice post on how to use media player classic with HD codecs here: http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010/02/02/guide-setting-up-bitstreaming-with-your-windows-7-htpc-part-i/

bookshelf speakers would be fine, always remember, its what sounds good to you, and what your budget is!

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/476393/ati-5870-multi-channel-pcm-in-games#post_6590600 See my posts in this thread on using a ATI  5700 series card, with HDMI audio, and using a receiver. I hope this helps!

I would get a 5XXX series ATI card. I'm using a 5770, running my monitor thru DVI, and using the HDMI to my receiver.Using power DVD, and it works perfectly.You can get a 5600 series ATI card that does not use a power connector from your power supply. The only caveat is if your receiver does not...

Yup, I use WASPI in Foobar, works great. Here's a link to a page at the AVS forums that gives a rundown on ATI cards: ATI Radeon HD 5800, 5700 and 5600 Series Thread: Supporting HD Audio Bitstreaming! - AVS Forum The 5600 series should work, and doesn't require a power connection to the card...

it Doesn't download from the internet, so I can't tell you about that. I do have the ATI drivers in windows 7 set to 24 bit 192000 Hz and the Insignia receiver handles it. I've played ripped flac files, and apple lossless files in foobar, and it sounds way better than thru the sound card or on...

Im using a 5770 card, using the HDMI to my receiver, (insignia which allows HDMI pass thru for sound) and using the same 5770 card to my monitor thru DVI. and yes it sounds better by far,because the receiver does all the decoding. a added lil plus here too, if you gave a bluray drive on your...

Sorry to bump a old tread, yes you can. I'm using my ATI 5770 card to run HDMI to my receiver, a Insignia NS R510HD which does allow pass thru with the new 10.3 drivers. In fact im using the DVI connection from the same card to my monitor. Also I can use WASPI with Foobar also with the HDMI...

I still use my Sony MXD D5C deck, snycro records from CD's and picked up a cheap MZNE 410 portable player refurbished from amazon. Coupled with Grado 80's it still is the best portable sounding I've got.I still use sonic stage 4.3 , although running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, I have to use sonic...

I use a PSP for around my house. Not much in eq settings but to be honest, its on par with my ipod touch thats always docked in my car. Volume can be a bit low if you don't have efficient phones. I still use sonic stage to transfer my mp3, mp4, and wm files to artrac. It's a shame really, sony...

I have both the ipod touch and zunes 30 80, and use both.The sound quality to me are equal. I use thezunes for the subscription service, the touch for audible.com books, video, and my favorite albums. The touch is hooked to my macbook pro,the zune with my Y510 ideapad. Software wise, itunes on...
