    Looking for DAP with good UI, 2 micro sd slots and cheaper than Fiio X3

    Hi all, I'm looking for a DAP to go with my new Dunu DN-2000 as my Oneplus X doesn't work with USB OTG with a DAC and I pick up a lot of interference out of the headphone jack. My two key requirements for a DAP are that it has 2 micro sd slots and a decent colour screen which is easy to...

    Can anyone sleeve my headphone cables in the UK (and possibly give them a lick of paint)?

    Hi, my Darth Docs (Woodied and recabled Goldring DR150) have seen better days (namely, the days before I essentially gave them to my girlfriend) so I was wondering whether anyone in the UK could resleeve them for me and possible give them a lick of paint? They looked really nice when I bought...

    Getting a new hi-fi system for parents including a Squeezebox

    Well, my parents have left me in charge of getting a new hi-fi (had old, pretty shoddy one for 20 years) so I thought I would get a bit technological with their new one and get a Squeezebox. Regarding the rest of the system, for an amp I'll probably go for the Marantz PM6003 (£250) and for...

    Downgrading from the SE530's..

    But what too? I am about to get a brand new pair back from RMA and reckon I shall sell them. I love the sound, but cannot justify the price in comparison to how much I listen to them (only at school really). These are the only IEM's I have heard, so which should I go for? I don't want to...

    I want my first SLR camera

    ...and hopefully my last. Well, I've found out that I do not need the best of everything, and am enjoying it. I'm perfectly happy with my custom DR150 being the last (in the foreseeable future, anyhow) headphone I buy. Now I want to move on an "average" SLR camera. Due to being 16, I have...

    Want to get into foobar

    My hard drive fried so I want to get into foobar Some questions though: 1. One thing I liked about itunes is how simple it was to grab art work, just right click and then get artwork, is there something similar to this? 2. How is it for syncing with an iPod 160gb classic? 3. Is there an...

    Headphones for winter (fog, frost, snow)

    Well, I am in the mood to get some fairly nice, open cans which have got nice soundstage etc. I want it to make me feel warm inside and be nice and airy (I'm not explaining this well at all). Budget is around the K701 price as that was the can I was thinking of before. Music I primarily...

    Want a fairly cheap turntable

    It can cost around £80 and it has to be new and not from eBay as my grandparents are buying it. I'm a vinyl noob to be honest; I use a Arcam Delta 290 as an amp, I don't think it has a built in phono stage (is that the correct terminology?) I'm not too fussed about sound quality as I won't...

    Philosophy - Natural law question

    One question which I was meant to be doing has stumped me. It is "Can the basis of natural law be located other than in social convention?". I have written "Aquinas believed the basis of natural law to be located in God’s will and the fundamental nature of humans not being corrupted." so far but...

    Need a classical/spanish guitar...know nothing about them

    Well, I will probably spend about £300 on it including a case, maybe more maybe less. Thing is, I only know people who know about electric ones so, basically, what are some good makes and stuff to get? I love buying used, eBay smells nice.

    Sound leakage worries....turned into which IEMs should I buy?

    Well, I have been sitting here happy with my AKG K271S for a while and have been happy with the sound; I just feel that I'm missing out on stuff, plus it hurts my head if I leave it on too long. I generally use headphones late at night as these are a bit too uncomfortable to wear for periods...
