    Best way to convert digital coax (or optical) into bluetooth atpx?

    Well the best option I have found so far is this:   https://www.amazon.com/HomeSpot-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transmitter-supported/dp/B00QV77YIC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487186830&sr=8-1&keywords=homespot+optical+bluetooth   Never heard of the brand, so I'm not convinced it will sound better than...

    Best way to convert digital coax (or optical) into bluetooth atpx?

    I am moving to a wireless setup so I am selling my current wired headphones, amp, and dac and buying some B&W P7 Wireless.     My current wired setup is like this:   FLAC Music on Network Drive on PC --> Wifi --> Rasberry Pi with HifiBerry Digi+ and RuneAudio --> Digital Coax --> Schiit...

    Best bluetooth headphones? Beoplay H9 or B&W P7 Wireless?

    Thanks for the advice! I have just finished reading through all 30+ pages of the H9 thread and all 60+ pages of the P7W thread. From what I have read, it definitely sounds like the P7W would be better for me, and I loved the sound of them wired. Plus they are much cheaper! Price wasn't really a...

    Best bluetooth headphones? Beoplay H9 or B&W P7 Wireless?

    Just been to John Lewis to listen to the P7W. They sound excellent wired, much better than the Momentums. The bass is so much tighter. Mids and highs were good on the Momentums, and they were just as good if not better on these. The fit is perfect for me. My first good quality headphones were...

    Best bluetooth headphones? Beoplay H9 or B&W P7 Wireless?

    First a bit of background. I've been working from home for the last 7 years, but I have taken a new job which means I will be out of the house 12 hours a day. It seems pointless having a nice setup at home and crappy portables if I'm going to be using the portable headphones 90% of the time, so...

    Beyerdynamic T90 with Little Dot Mk3. Noisy at higher volumes?

    I have some Beyerdynamic T90s arriving today and need a new amp to go with them as I think my Magni 2 Uber will be too bright. I have a limited budget and would really like to try a tube amp. I have pretty much decided on the Little Dot Mk. 3, as it's the cheapest one with good reviews, and I...

    What's a good upgrade from Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro?

    I called back to order them today and they only actually charged me £243. Price was £270, but I got an extra 10% again for being ex-display. I'm not sure why because the price was already discounted for them being ex-display. I'm certainly not complaining though. They come with a 2 year...

    What's a good upgrade from Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro?

    Looking to get some new headphones to go with my new Schiit Magni 2 Uber / Modi 2 Uber. I have had the DT990 Pros for a couple of years and have been happy with them, but I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade.   My opinion on the DT990 Pros:   lower bass - excellent, almost perfect for me...

    I am looking for a way to add virtual surround sound into my current set-up. It is needed for online shooters where hearing enemy footsteps is important.   PS4 --> Modi 2 Uber -> Magni 2 Uber --> DT990 Pro   I have looked at the Astro Mixamp, but have heard bad things about the sound...

    Quote:   I think the PRO model only comes in 250ohm but I probably would have gone for that one anyway. They will be my first audiophile headphones, can't wait ;-)

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Also does anyone know if the iPad 3 DAC is any good? Am I going to get much better sound quality using the E17 as a DAC and an amp than I would if I was using the iPad DAC and E17 amp?

    Quote:   So do you think I could modify a USB cable by removing pin 1 (power) from one end? Or would that not work?

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Quote:   Ah ok thanks for the reply. Seems strange though because the Fiio has it's own power source. Would there be any difference in sound quality between the USB Hub method and the USC to DCC method?

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Hi   I have a question about using the iPad 3 with the E17. I was reading through this thread and saw some earlier posts saying that they used the iPad 3 like this:   iPad --> Matrix USB to Digital Coaxial Converter --> Fiio E17 --> Headphones   I don't understand why the converter...

    Are the Sennheiser RS 220 wireless headphones a good choice for me?

    Hi I am looking for some advice. I run a small business from home and would like to get some high quality headphones to wear while I work. They need to be an open design so I can hear the phone / intercom system. Wireless would help as well as I am constantly moving about to answer phones, reply...

    Do I need a headphone amp to use with a PC sound card (M-Audio Audiophile 24/96)

    I am looking into buying the Sennheiser RS 220 wireless headphones. I would like to use them with my PC sound card which is a M-Audio Audiophile 24/96. My question is would a headphone amp greatly improve sound quality with this set-up? Any advice is appreciated.
