I lost my charger for my MK1+ and a replacement will cost $5 plus $30 shipping from Little Dot. -_- Little Dot refuses to give me the specs for some reason. Guess they don't want me to buy a $4 charger off eBay.   Can someone PLEASE give me the specs that are on the charger? a pic would be...

Hi all!   I'm searching for a replacement battery for my little dot mk I+  ( Li-ion  3,7v  around 700 mAh)     any tips would be highly appreciated.

I've been using a FiiO D3 DAC to stream from my Mac Pro to my "hi-fi" system (Rega RP-1> NAD PP3 > Adcom GFP-750 > Adcom GFA-555MkII > Acoustic Research AR-90s.)  I've been pleasantly surprised by that little $25 DAC, especially since I'm a cheap ass.    I picked up a Little Dot Mk1+ and I'm...

I've been getting some help in the official HE-400 thread, but more opinions are always good.  I have a new pair of HE-400s that I'm using with my LD MK1+ and HM-601 right now, but I and willing to spend $400 total on both an amp and DAC.  So far I've been recommended the LD 1+ as an amp but...

Hi guys,   I am planning to buy a good audiophile headphones and have finalized to AKG K702 and Senn HD 598, both being in same price range. I have heard great reviews about both both have great sound quality overall, accuracy, soundstage and are super comfy. The difference I have heard and...

Hi! So I'm totally new to the whole audiophile world lol!  But I'm trying to decide on a pair of headphones, and these three three, the AKG Q701, Sennheiser HD598, and the Boss Quiet Comfort 3 are the ones I've narrowed it down to.    I've chosen the AKG Q701 and Sennheiser HD598 due to a...

Hi,   i recently bought a pair of dt990 250 ohm after coming for various IEM's and need help choosing a suitable amp as i really have no clue what i'm looking for. I have had a few portable amps and currently have a total bithead i used to use with my IE8 and it obviously isn't doing the...

There have been a few portable tube amps to come out recently, and none of them are cheap. Even the one from govibe, who always made cheap solid state portables, is over 600usd. So I was browsing on ebay and came across a muse tube portable that's around 100usd shipping. I tried searching on...

I previously owned a pair of Alessandro MS2i's but found them to be a little fatiguing due to their all metal construction, the weight simply made long listening sessions uncomfortable.  So i'm thinking of picking up a set of Alessandro MS1's or Grado SR125's and an amp.  The only question I run...

Hey guys, I've been a long time head-fi reader but finally decided to make an account for this question. I just bought the D2000s and, like my title says, I have no idea what to do in terms of amps. I'd be mainly playing from my laptop and I'm looking to spend up to $150-175 for a good...

I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of threads that are asking these, but.... Which amp that costs less than $130 can power the AKG K 701 well? So far, my choices are the:   FiiO E9 FiiO E11 Little-Dot MK1   Which would be better? I know that the E9 is highly regarded as a budget...

Unfortunately I started reading about these headphones yesterday. That is usually how it starts. First the reading and then the lusting after. Before you tell me, I know about the bass. I am willing to do some risk taking and hope that it all works out. I listen to jazz. I need a headphone...

My current set-up is either a 1st generation Ipod Nano or a Numark record player. The sound then goes through my dads old Akai amp and then either to my Grado sr-80 headphones with mods (dynamat, wood cups, 10 holes punched, loin cloth removed) or some speakers. My question would be what should...

I'm upgrading from my lyrix, so I've narrowed it down to these. I like that you can roll the opamps in the MKI, and judging from the specs, the MKI seems to be more powerful. On the other hand the MKI+ offers improved battery life and a newer design. It is more expensive though. It would be...

Hi All,   I seem to be having a few problems with my new toy the little dot mk I+.   Problem is i'm getting some nasty interference plugging them into my Razer Barracuda sound card via headphone out (there's no dedicated line out).     The razer barracuda plugs into my Sony...

Hello,   I got a Ultrasone Pro 2900 and would like to buy a suitable headphone amp to go with it.   I have heard good things about the Little Dot MKII. I like the idea of a tube amplifier, but how do I know if this one will work well with the Ultrasone Pro 2900?    The main audio...

My new AKG 272 sounds very good. Right now I have them connected to my small portable LDM+. But I´m interested in the Fiio E9. Do you think that there will be a noticeble improvement in sq using the E9 instead of the LDM+?   (I really love the detailed sound of my new AKG:s. The...

Hi everyone! How are you all in this fine morning? freezing I guess?   For the last few days I've been reading some threads in this forums and I really liked it so I decided to join and ask my questions.   Im a guy who wants an upgrade in his sound system. Im buying a nre LCD TV in few...

Dear Audiophiles,   I have purchased a LittleDot MK I+ Gold Version off eBay from the autorized seller. I currently face a channel imbalance problem on the portable headphone amp. I tried various methods to solve the channel imbalance problem but the problem still persist. the L channel will...

Hey guys....I'm just getting into true audiophile territory lately and am thinking about just trying to sample all the different sorts of headphones out there at once!     I've got a little dot MKIII on order and being made right now (expect it in about two weeks; so I've got some time to...

I currently own a little dot MK III connected to a pico amp/dac and I was wondering if a little dot I+ hybrid would be better with my Grado 325is. Note: My little dot MK III is upgraded with gold pin 6H30Pi power tubes and mullard driver tubes. I'm pretty satisfied with the sound I'm...

Hi,   I know this has been discussed over and over, but it is just too overwhelming to review every post.     What is the best sounding portable amp that will make the most difference in sound quality for my 780s?  I am not interested in a DAC -- just the best amp to augment the 780s...

Wich one will deliver me the highest volume and bass boost without any distortion and muddy bass?   now i using RE0 but in the future i'll buy Monster turbines or Hippo VB
