Hi!   As the title says, are there any amps that resists GSM interference? I use my iPhone as my main portable souce, and I'm pretty annoyed by the GSM interference when using an amp.

Hi peeps.   I'm in the market for a new portable Amp/Dac to drive sounds from my Galaxy S3 via Usb. I'm looking at either of these models. Any suggestions/recommendations?   Cheers in advance.

hey, I recently went through the trouble to look up the DAC chips & prices of quite a few sub-$200 DACs. Fricking manufacturers often do not disclose their DAC chip on their product specs. (kinda shady imo lol) Not sure if this list would be helpful to anyone, but I figured I'd post it. Please...

I've been reading this section of the forum with great interest and want to buy my first portable amp. I had been considering the C&C BH or F1 but would also consider spending much more to get a really good amp that I'd hopefully never feel the need to upgrade from and that would save me money...

Hello, everyone;   First and foremost, I'm quite new to Head-Fi. I had an old account - which I need someone to close; so if an admin./moderator can send me a PM on this account, I will send a PM to you, with the relevant information regarding the other account -, but had hardly posted in...

Hi all,   [Update: so I have purchased a pair of AKG K550s and currently have it paired to the Fiio E7, and so far am enjoying the sound. I've read the E7 is a decent amp but there are better amps to pair to the K550s. Is the Arcam rPac considered a solid match? Any other recommendations...

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.??

Hello to all,   This is my first post on this forum and as my name says, I'm listening to flat portable music gear: an iPod classic 120 with standard white earphones from the box. I want to do something about it, but first I need some expert advice. Let me explain:   I'm an audiophile...

Hello everyone .   I am totally new to the forum and the audiophile section. I ve been listening to a lot of rock music , classic rock .   Recently a friend of mine bought me the Beyerdynamics DT880 250ohm edition . i like the headphones very much and the music is very crisp and clear ...

Hey,   I am looking for a portable combined headphone amp and usb dac, is there anything that betters the E17 without going crazy money? Can get the E17 for about £85 brand new now.   Was considering a Xonar STX but it would then restrict me to one source, where as i can use the E17 as a...

Hi.   Long time reader, first time poster.   It's obvious that my Galaxy Nexus phone is not doing my Etymotic ER-4s justice so I'm thinking about getting a portable amp.   As far as I know no one is able to do USB audio on the Galaxy Nexus just yet, but that might change. I also have...

I've been enjoying my S:flo2 -> Leckerton UHA-4 -> Etymotics ER-4S with custom mold for a couple of years now. I am very happy with this rig.   Anyway since these days most of my listening is on the go I am considering to improve the rig... you know that typical upgrade itch...   In the...

I'm trying to compile a list of available portable DAC+amp devices to see which of them would best suit me and my needs. Right now my only real criteria is < $300; I know there are some well-loved DAC+amps out there but I just can't spend $400+ on an Emmeline kit. Here's what I have right now...

I have a couple of small DAC's including a new Leckerton UHA-4. When I plug it into my computer via USB, I am able to make the music louder or softer by using the volume control in Spotify (or Windows). If it's just a signal, how is this possible? I thought a DAC just converts the digital signal...

Hi, is it advisable to reshell my UM3X? Or is it redundant? Im also wondering if amping would help

Before I get into this, I'm relatively new to the whole audiophile world (and a first time poster) so I apologize for any noobness! I am looking for a rig to get me started, but I also want it to be something that I won't be ashamed to still use a few years down the road. The very top of my...

I'm trying to find an upgrade from my Fiio E10 DAC/amp. I love its form factor since I can bring it with my laptop anywhere. The only other similar product I can find is the Headamp Pico DAC/amp. Any recommendations? Volume knob is a must (rules out Fiio E17).

Hey guys so I was looking to replace the Fiio E11 with a better amp. I think it is a great amp but there are a few things Id like improved with a better amp:   1) Better instrument separation (not necessarily wider soundstage but it would be a good benefit and might be necessary) 2) Better...

Hi all, Just upgraded from my HD 555's to some HD 650's and for the most part they are hooked to my Onkyo 806 reciever but on occasion I do hook them to a portable device (ipod, laptop, my cell phone) so i wanted to pick up a portable amp for those times. If i could get something good for my...

Please recommend me a portable amp about $200.  Thank you. E11, HiFiMan EF2A, PA2V2, XM5?

Hey all,   I'm in the market for a device that can function as a portable DAC/amp while I'm at school and work, and which can be used as a standalone amplifier while I'm at home. The home setup will be my Xonar DX running a line out to whatever amp I end up getting. The reason for this...
