    Internal ticking from new integrated amplifier

    I have contacted my dealer with regards to this issue and I am awaiting a response. I recently purchased an entry level Cambridge Audio Topaz AM1 amplifier. It sounds great for the money but I notice a strange ticking sound from within the unit that doesn't transfer through the speakers. All I...

    Sennheiser HD 439......... Do I need an amp?

    I tend towards a warm, dark signature but not in the extreme sense. Since becoming more serious about SQ I have tended to move away from bass over emphasis but still prefer an overall warmth to the sound. I don't want to suppress treble/highs too much either but I do tire of an overly bright...

    Sennheiser HD 439......... Do I need an amp?

    I'm still fairly nooby to high end audio so I could do with some help. I'm in the market for a full size set of headphones and these (title) appear to be getting fairly good reviews here. My two sources are the Sony NWZ-X1060 and the Hisoundaudio Rocoo-P. Do I require an amp to get the best out...

    Hisoundaudio P vs Sony NXZ-X1060 Quick Comparison

    Today I became the proud owner of the Hisoundaudio Rocoo-P "Power Version" and quickly set about comparing to my very capable X-series Walkman.   I would like to point out that this is a lay-mans comparison as I lack much of the audiophile terminology and experience that I often find on this...

    Hisoundaudio player names???

    @hisound  Thanks for reply. Can I ask what the (market) issue was with the Rocoo D? I'm fairly close to purchasing one on ebay as the power version is outside of my budget at the moment.

    Hisoundaudio player names???

    Can somebody please tell me the difference between the Hisoundaudio Rocoo P and D? Also what is the difference between the Rocoo D standard version and the Power version. Hisoundaudio's naming of players is more confusing than Sony's ( to me at least).

    Upgrade to Hisoundaudio Rocoo P?

    Thanks for that. My Sony X is certainly sounds good enough to justify a big spend on headphones. Time to search the reviews then.

    Upgrade to Hisoundaudio Rocoo P?

    Hi all, this is my first post here after many weeks of lurking around and reading these great forums. I would like your qualified opinion on my next upgrade path.   I have been using the Sony NWZ-X1060 since the original release date back in 2009 and have been very pleased with the SQ. Now...
