Hi! Does anyone tried this combination together? Just need some inputs if this will be a good idea.. Hope someone could help me . Thanks!

Hello Everybody! I am a professional recording engineer, musician and writer for MIX magazine, and I'm "a bit behind the curve" when it comes to iOS interface devices. I've been searching for a DAC for iOS devices that meets the following criteria: Digital OUT to an outboard DAC (i.e. 30-pin...

I need a good advice for those who have/has both, ill be buying tomorrow or nextday...    I have a D5K and a HD600 but i will mainly use it for the Senn with Cardas Cable...   i can live with both Drag n Drop and also with iTunes route... I will stack it with National which synergyz well...

So you know the score.....you've got your rig at home, you've your source and collection sorted....and what with location/portability not being an issue, all is fine and dandy.  But what if...    you gave it all up, quit the rat race and went round the world for 8 months?  What would you...

I have seen a lot of discussion about bypassing the Ipod's dac, and there seems to be some options available to bypass the internal dac and extract the digital signal out of the device. However, there seems to be no clear concensus as to whether bypassing the internal dac really does gain...

I'm looking for upgrading my portable setup to add DAC/AMP in-between MacBook Pro and HE-500.   After going through reviews and recommendations I thought that I should get Fostex HP-P1 or 627/CLAS that fall into my ~$1000 budget and both are portable enough. I'm also willing to sacrifice a...

I am starting to think that I don't exactly have golden ears here...I prefer my transportable rig to my main one.  Really, I listen to my transportable a lot more simply because I can carry it around the house, but now I just A/Bed the two systems and plugged both headphones into the HE6 and I...

I have been out of the loop for 6-7 years but I am piecing together a headphone system and I could use some help choosing a DAC.   As a source, I intend to use my 160G Ipod only and would like a DAC to bypass the internal one.  I have looked around for the licensed DACs but I'm sure I'm...

Hi all,   I have an iPod Classic 6th Gen, some Audio Technica M50 headphones and a Fiio E7 amp.   Would there be any advantage in me upgrading the Fiio to a portable Dac such as the NuForce Icon UDac 2 or would the difference in sound be marginal?   appreciate any advice. Thanks

Hi, I am new to head-fi, and am hoping to get some advice. So, i am testing my new portable set up: Rx Mk 3-B with new Solo dB., and iTouch. When using my Shure 535, it really sounded powerful. However, with the Beyer T1, i felt that the solo/mk3 combo was not driving the t1 that much (even at...

Since i am new to this DAC thing. I was wondering what external DAC i could use with my ipod, since i hear they have terrible sound quality. Could i use a fiio e7 as a DAC with it?

Hi all,   My ASG 1.2's are on its way now and I was wondering should I get an amp for it? I have an iPod Classic and Cowon S9 but I think the ASG 1.2 will benefit with an amp.  The size shouldn't be bigger than the Classic by much.   Which amp/dac should I get?   Thank you, Leon

I only know a couple of them E7 which I have and im thinking of selling it to get a better one UHA-4 Pico Slim Headstage arrow any other dac/amp that are portable, where I can use it with my ipod touch and 1964 T.??

Recently, I started noticing a static type of noise in my headphone whenever I move my rig around. The music will fade in and out and it's at its worst when I have it in my pocket or move it a lot.    My set-up is: iPhone4 -> CLAS -> Pico Slim -> Starkey Customs   How does one even go...

If the iPhone 5's Lightning line out is all digital, that will mean that we should see new and affordable portable amps with DACs built-in, or standalone DACs, or Lightning-to-3.5 mm connecting wires with DACs built-in. They should be more affordable since I suppose there is now no need to pay...

 I just heard from a US distributor that the SOLO is sold out and that they are working on a new product !   Does anyone has infos about this ? 

I was looking at some MP3 players like the Colorfly C4, iBasso DX100, etc. and they look really nice and I kind of want to buy one. But I have an iPhone and was thinking if i needed to get one of those MP3 players if i had a "good" amp like a Fiio E17 or something. If i were to get one of those...

I like the new iPod Touch, if it had 128 GB, I would have no doubts, what about you?

I put in an order for a CLAS at an online audio store and they said they were out of stock because there was a new one "there will be a replacement model due sometime in November, maybe late October at best." and that "The pricing of the new unit will be around $749.00".   then i asked what...

I don't know if this type of thread has ever been created, but I am interested in buying a high quality portable audio player that plays FLAC audio, as well as a high-end portable amplifier. I am currently using a 4th generation iPod Touch (64GB), paired with a Fiio e5 amplifier and Sony XB-1000...

Hi everyone,   Suppose I have a backpack ready for hi-end audio. Suppose I'm not strong enough to carry things like RWA Isabellina HPA with me. For simplicity, let's limit setup with 4lbs. What components should I choose?   Source: is there anything better than battery-powered Apogee...

If I'm using the Cyber Labs Solo with an iDevice, does it matter which I device I choose in terms of the quality of the output?  I know that people choose some of the older iPod models because they want the higher quality wolfson DAC, but if I'm using the Solo, I don't need to worry about that...
