I recently became addicted to high-end headphones.  I tired out the HiFiMan HE-400, the PSB M4U 1 and the Sennheiser HD 600.  I decided to go with the Sennheiser HD 600.  I felt that they gave a bit more all-around detail, were the most neutral and had the tightest bass.  I love them.  Now I'm...

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here. I don't know anything so I'd like to ask you for advice, if I may. I'm looking for a speaker system that I could connect to an AirPort to stream music from iPhone/mac/iPad, BUT that could also potentially be used to connect a record...

Hi,   Is it possible to connect a usb cable to my mobile (in this case a GalaxyS3) and use it to audio in/out? For example, use my headset (mic+sound) to use skype on my mobile or take a call.   I'm asking it because I want to build a dock where I would have everything connect on the dock...

Hello,   I´m trying to find some information about new Apple´s tablet, but only information/measurements about sound quality are from gsmarena, where they talk about its sound in a good way in iPad Air case, but not very well with the mini one: ...

I picked up the new iPad air with no music aspirations I already have plenty of sources iPhone older iPo etc.  There is significantly more power behind this device. It has enough to adequately power my AKG 702 for non critical listening. It is not the same experience as with a good amp but it is...

I am looking for recommendations for a NAS to use with my Marantz MCR510 and PS3. What I want to achieve is to access all my media files wirelessly with my iPad, Android phone, laptop (windows 7) and Marantz remote control and play through my MCR510 (audio) and PS3 (video).   Also, do I need...

I've been searching for something that did this well. Not only has this been created in part by a sound and mastering engineer (http://www.devinkerr.com/) who knows his stuff, but the interface design is fantastic as well.    While it has some initial presets for some gear like SRH-840s, it...

I've searched quite a bit for info on the iPad Air. It seems like there is a lack of info on using it as a source. I'm currently using an iPad Air playing either Spotify or FLAC files. This outputs via the headphone port into an O2 amp. From here I usually use my AKG Q701's, but I also have a...

Hi, anyone manage to compare the sound between this 2 players? Which one sounds better when unamped (Just the stock player) ? I knew that the SIII has an Wolfson which gives excellent sound, what about the Ipad Mini? Thanks alot.

I want to buy a new phone, and since music is obviously very important to me, I want to know your opinion on which phone is the best for music-listening. I am considering the Samsung S4 and Note 3, the Sony Xperia Z1 and the HTC One. I am currently listening to rap and EDM music with my Klipsch...

Hey you guys does anyone know of a dock (lightning or 30 pin) that has AC power and a lightning/30 pin passthrough?   The goal of this would be to have a nice docked iPad set up that was always charging AND be able to connect a CCK to it!

Hello- I searched for anything close to this topic before starting a new thread; couldn't find anything on Head-Fi or elsewhere, so here goes.   I have a 2011 headless Mac Mini, running Audirvana Plus in the iTunes integrated mode.  I am running the latest iTunes, and the latest Mavericks OS...

Other than iPad via its USB Camera kit, does anyone here know which one of these tablets can connect to an external USB DAC? Galaxy Tab, Acer Iconia, Dell Streak, HP Touch, etc? It will only be used as transport for playing my media files.   Thanks

Has anybody tried to connect an iPhone (running iOS7) to a DAC or USB/SPDIF device (with or without a powered hub) via the Apple Camera Connector Kit? The CCK did not work with the iPhone with iOS6 and there were rumors that it would with iOS7.
