Anyone is still using this Headroom THE MAX daily? I put it in my office lab (I do audio/speech related engineering work) and use it very frequently. The build quality is really second to none and it lasted me almost 20 years.

Seems like the bottom 4 mounting screws are VESA pattern 75x75. Therefore I am thinking of using or modifying monitor stands to mount them. Anyone has tried...

There will be a new audio specification in the future, but it has not been announced at this time. Therefore using the A2DP the available bandwidth for audio is still limited and same as before. Some articles explained the details on these APTX and LDAC marketing claims better, and they are...

AptX HD is a lossy codec for sure. If I recall correctly it is an ADPCM scheme.

At work, I am on a project designing a new Bluetooth "hearable/headset/audio" IC and the design covers dual mode (Bluetooth classic and the new BLE spec). The new Bluetooth 5.0 bandwidth has increased to 2 Mbps, but the new audio protocol standard that the committee working on has not been...

http://www.avhub.com.au/news/soundimage/sony-ldac-8212-questions-and-answers-437885 They danced around the straight-forward answer. I work in the sound/voice digital signal processing field, and I believe that LDAC isn't lossless. Their marketing and engineering probably had a disjoint...

Yes, I was surprised and quite satisfied.   Happy listening!   W

I used to use an AudioEngine connected to my docking, and then have a digital amplifier driving 2 good quality loudspeakers.  That was my desktop setup for quite sometime.     Then I got tired of all the wires and stuff cluttering around the desk, and I replaced all those with a pair of KEF...

Now people are also talking about C type USB  on non-Apple products and no more traditional audio jack.   I am sure there will be many conversion products, but it is just annoying to think about all my headphones at home going through a conversion device.

The sound is excellent, and drives all kinds of headphones well.   It is one of my best purchases.    W

I use Genelec's at work, yes they are expensive. For home desktop use, these are good values considering the price: Amazon.com: M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Powered Speakers: Musical Instruments

I have had very good experience with these, quite inexpensive: Dell A525 Computer Speakers 2.1 System with Subwoofer

For about $60 the Denon AHC551 is outstanding. I compared them to the ne-7m and like the Denon better.

I do audio work, the pair of 7506 on my desktop that I use almost daily for listening tests lasted more than 10 years, yes the build quality is high. For me it is also quite comfortable.

Yes, the Thinkpads T6x are very quiet. Consider it seriously.
