Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view
I agree fully to this - at least in my experience. I have been away from Head-Fi for awhile, but I've recently purchased and received the Pontus II from Vinshine Audio, and I've had a couple extremely enjoyable headphone sessions. I've been using the internal DAC from my Innuos Zen Mini + LPSU...- Afghan Vet

Carolina CanFEST 7 2019 Impressions
And a thank you to Vernon for reminding me that I needed to add a small review for the iFi PRO iDSD (DAC & headphone amp) and the iFi PRO iCAN (amp). Danny contacted me to let me know that the US Distributor for iFi provided him a few items to show at the meet. He let me know that I was the... -

First and foremost......a HUGE Thank You to Danny for arranging the entire event! Though I took a bunch of crap during all of this (as knucklehead #1), it was all worth it! He is so good at this (I know...Stop It!), and he has such great connections.......he should be the designated organizer of... -

I think that is completely reasonable - I mean, come on? You don’t do this out of altruism.......not out of pure love for the hobby or fellow hobbyists.......their has to be a pecuniary motive - completely fair :blush: And the BMW is getting a little long in the tooth.......a Bentley sure would...- Afghan Vet

Astell & Kern SR15: A&norma Impressions & Reviews
Funny - I just did this again the other day - just curious about difference between Aries source vs SR15 through the Vega. Sitting at my desk without the cable connected - I could not get the USB button to do anything - kept on touching it - no reaction - trying to remember how I got it to...- Afghan Vet

Astell & Kern SR15: A&norma Impressions & Reviews
I didn't have them at the same time - sold the X5iii to buy the Norma - from memory - the Norma seems to me to be a significant jump in fidelity - I'm inadequate at articulating exactly what that means - but I was very happily surprised at the increase in Sound Quality. And this is with the...- Afghan Vet

I was very satisfied with the sound from my Senn HD650's at 300 ohm - from the 3.5mm output. I thought the Norma was very good with these headphones......my experience only.- Afghan Vet

I’m 1/2 way here on this question as well :) I got the WiFi working - read the description of the app again - discovered that I can do the same with the Norma - now I’m playing from the Synology NAS......Wow moment for me - nothing burger for others on here.- Afghan Vet

Success!!!! That is the 2nd time you have given me a solution! I re-read what you typed - hooked it up again - I hit the lot up icon, and sure enough - I had sound! This will be very helpful this weekend - I have a headphone meet with several friends, and carrying a DAP and connecting it to...- Afghan Vet

Thank You for replying!!! 1/2 way there - when plugged in, I now get the icon lights up, still no sound though - very puzzling - this set up worked with the FiiO X5iii before I sold it - same cables, etc- Afghan Vet
