Hi there. Back when i first started i bought my first amp, a Little Dot Mk IV SE with my HD600 and loved it to bits. Fast forward a few years and i had to move and suddenly i had to downsize my desk space significantly so replaced it with a Magni and Modi 2U stack and the Little Dot has been...

hey guys, i know this song is overhyped, overplayed and over everything by everyone but... .. .. it's still a mad song :P back to the point, i was just wondering what is the best sounding version of it? i was at this restaurant and they had it playing in the background and it sounded...

has anyone tried this combo? i want a remote dock, which the apple universal dock fits nicely, but then it doesnt have a true line out. if i have an additional LOD connected to the connector in the back, would it become a true line out??? can anyone try?? thanks

So i want to get a remote dock for my ipod (classic 160, 4g nano) that i can use with my home amp, ie none of those bs speaker all-in-one setups. what is the cheapest option? the only requirement is that it must have a remote control, so i dont have to move my ass to change songs but...

i have strayed away from headfi for some time due to the current recession which meant that the AUD is now worth jack crap, but fate has brought me back (or was is just the itch, the symptom of a true audio addict :P?) anyway, despite everything, i want to upgrade my current UE SF5Ps...

Has anyone compared these 2 units directly? I am just looking for a small amplifier to run some speakers that's all. The headphone output would be pretty much irrelevant to me, so just want to know about the consensus of these 2 units. I know the Fatman iTube has an Ipod dock, but that...

a few days ago, i was given by my uncle a pair of HD430, but much to my dismay, they dont work. both drivers produce no sound at all at first, i thought it was a cabling issue so i tried using a different cable, such as that from my hd600 and they still dont work. i tried taking it apart, but...

The tubes on my littledot have some oxidised legs and as such is making it a real pain to setup, due to the sensitivities of the electrical contacts. What is the best way of cleaning them? They are obviously oxidised somewhat as it is obvious where the contact points are with the circuit...

I have a corda 2Move, and want to use it to drive my Littledot MKivse. However one issue i have, is how to setup the 2move? Which settings (hi/lo current hi/lo gain) and what volume setting should i use? Has anyone done this? I'll be using the USB input. Thanks

just wondering if it is worthwhile to get a beresford 7510 to work in conjunction with my X-Fi Fatal1ty's spdif output. how would the sound from just using the X-fi be compared to using the spdif output to the beresford? is it worth buying the beresford? These will be connected to my LD...

So which is preferred? i have a xfi fatal1ty but need a digital output and was wondering to just use: 1) 1/8" to coax rca output via the on board flexijack of x-fi 2) buy a digital I/O module and use the optical output there 3) buy a digital I/O module and use the coax output there...

I have a x-fi fatal1ty with the stupid ram or whatever and was wondering if the card has a decent optical output for use with an external dac? My version does not include any internal/external drive bays, so was wondering if there was a built in optical on the card or do i really need the...

I want to buy a budget DAC and was wondering which would be better? - Beresford 7510 - Keces 131/151 This would be fed by my pc's x-fi fatal1ty pro and will also be connected to a littledot or darkvoice which i have yet to buy. Anyone care to comment on those dacs? Cheers

so i want to expand into desktop sized amps. i dont really have a lot of money to play with, around 350 or so. initially i wanted a all in one unit with dac and amp, but that is proving to be quite annoying. so my plan is to pull the trigger on a beresford tc7510 dac and then another amp...

I've been using dbpoweramp, but i have several gripes with it. firstly, freedb which is used to retrieve media information is horrible. many cds i have (mainly japanese) dont have listings whereas windows media player and itunes can all find it. secondly, when i rip the cd, those japanese...

So i want to buy an amp for headphones and also has connections for speakers. I will be using this in my study and will be powering some bookshelf speakers (which i dont have yer) as well as a set of HD600 and some iems possibly. Preferable to have USB input via pc and be less than $500US...

I love my 2Move, but srsly, it CHEWS through batteries. I have been using normal Eveready Golds and Duracells, but recognise that this is definitely not a long term solution. Anyway, i have heard that for the rechargeables, many don't hold their charge at all (ie, i charge up 2, use 1 and...

Sorry to bother, but i am really confused as to what all these terms mean. There are just sooo many terms, i think it would be a good idea to have a glossary or something to help people identify the difference... anyway i have a few questions so feel free to chime in. Can anyone explain...

so i have some earphones which have white cords and are now turning the dreaded yellow.... is there a way to somehow clean these to some extent? what should i use? thanks

First i just want to say that i live in Australia and that i can not order from Headroom, TTVJ etc unless the store has international shipping at decent rates. So atm, kinda stuck since theres not many retailers in Australia that sell this kind of stuff. only place i found was Headphonia...

I am seriously having trouble with this. BLACK or SILVER. they both look soooo goood. But i will just kick myself if i order it and then its not the colour i want. i use a black ipod classic, so you may think that naturally i should buy black right? well i am worried that...

i am in the market for a new amp around the 230US mark and have been looking at the Meier products and the Xin supermicroIV Meier seems to have quite a reputation and i am looking for posssibly the XXS Headsix 2Move Those are relatively closely priced so i guess i can stretch a lil...

intially, i was a fan of the Ex70/71 and in fact have used a total of 3 pairs (was young and stupid) anyway, i used to use the medium tips with that. then i switched the er6i + ety double flange and after more and more use, my ear canals grew to easily accomodate them and were great...

Has anyone tried the Crossroads or the travagans colors? which is better? or are there better alternatives? i will be using with an ipod classic and my UE sf5p thanks

The time has come and i now want to expand my experiences to portable headphone amps. but the thing is that i live in australia (sydney specifically) and there are NO stores that sell this stuff, and even if they do, they charge extravagant prices. anyway, i want to spend around 100-150US...
