    That's what I did, thanks for the tip!

    Please Recommend a Digital Audio Player

    Thanks for the idea but I'm not much of a phone guy. Typicaly phones don't have much in the way decent EQ, gapless and features I want. Additionally, using the phone for portable sound runs the battery down quickly and is just an all around pain to use for things other than phone functions.

    Please Recommend a Digital Audio Player

    Tried checking on the Xduoo X2, and seems to be no longer sold. Ended up buying a Hiby R2II. While it has a lot of stuff I don't care about like wi-fi, BT etc. It has reportedly good sound and an outstanding EQ system.

    Please Recommend a Digital Audio Player

    I’m looking for a DAP that would cost $100 or less. What is important to me is, Sound Quality. The player should have a robust warm full sound, apposed to a clean thin detailed sound profile. Don’t really care if it is ‘neutral’ or not, my belief, neutral is the enemy of exciting. What I do want...

    Monoprice SonicSolice

    I own them. Identical to the one put out by Bohm. They are very comfortable, well built and seem to be a decent value for the money, if you plan to use them for use on public transit they are worthwhile. I don't think using them as a home headphone you'd be that happy however.

    DarkVoice 336SE, or Little Dot MK III 3

    Thanks all, it looks like I will be getting my SP MPX3 fixed instead getting something different.

    Schematic for SinglePower MPX3?

    Schematic for SinglePower MPX3?   Does anyone have basic schematic for a SinglePower MPX3? My MPX3 had the usual transformer failure last week. I currently have a amp tech who will replace the it with a more robust one.   While he has it apart, I asked that he install a “gain reduction”...

    Warning About The Singlepower Extreme - Owners Please Read

    "Sh**. I hope you can get it sorted. Did you try replacement tubes?"     "My darkvoice did that once... It was just the fuse that popped. Not sure what caused it"     I check the fuse and it was burnt. Replaced the fuse and it immediately burnt again. The amp is currently with someone who...

    Warning About The Singlepower Extreme - Owners Please Read

    My MPX3 was working fine until last week when it stopped working. No drama, no loud pop, no burning smell, no smoke, it just stopped and went cold mid-CD. I'm now trying to learn what is wrong with it and if it will be repair, or replace.

    DarkVoice 336SE, or Little Dot MK III 3

    "I guess your choice also depends on which headphone you want to use."   Well that is part of the dilemma I use Grados, HD650s & Beyer DT990s. However, I use the HD650s / DT990s most. That said I do need something that will work with the Grados too.   Another question in my mind, of the two...

    RE: Repairing a SinglePower MXP3 Amp (LA)?

    Masa -   I was listening to it a couple of nights ago and it just stopped. It went "stone dead", nothing dramatic; no loud pop, or puff of smoke, or burning smell, it just stopped. So now it is fix, or replace.

    RE: Repairing a SinglePower MXP3 Amp (LA)?

    Masa -   I have found a place in Venice who says they will take a look, "Venice Amp Repair", they specialize in the custom "Red Jones" guitar amps. I will give "Rewind Audio" a try if if that doesn't work out. How is your SP amp holding up, or do you still have it?

    RE: Repairing a SinglePower MXP3 Amp (LA)?

    Bummer.   BTW, I think I learned about washing / soaking Grado cushions from one of your old posts. Much smoother and softer. Thank you.     I haven't been on < headfi > much recently. Have been enjoying the music, and content with my system, until my SP MXP3 quit on me last week. Thank you...
