Raspberry Pi2 as Music Server?
My Rpi2 have no issues with 24/192 files, even DSD files on a flash drive via USB, and this is a stock Rpi2(with runeaudio) straight from the analog hp out(i2s dac still on the way). I won't say I like the sound from the hp out(lots of noise at any volume <100), but all the files have been able...- fongalv

My Singlepower Supra Experience - Why mine almost blew up like a Hand Grenade (and yours might too)
As I'm current away from home, I'm unable to take any images of the transformer, or the uncovered transformer for that matter since it will require me to unscrew the PCB.

Review coming soon.....ALO Au/Ag vs Silvercab-Pro and iQube vs. Diablo (pics!)

Singlepower MPX3
Hi, I too have recently been lucky enough to come into the possession of a MPX3 Slam from a fellow Head-fier, tho due to some unforseen circumstances, it has been sitting there unused until I can break open the worn out and rusty screws to remove some loose nuts inside the enclosure. My...- fongalv

Considering customs and braces at the same time???
Hi guys, Not sure where else would be a suitable place to post this, so I figured the lounge would be the best place? I was already in the midst of making an appointment with the audiologist to get my impressions done but a recent bout of persistent jaw pain has been putting me off. My...- fongalv

POST PICS OF YOUR DARTH BEYERS
Thats why I asked, I also got mine from the "headphone deals" section and yours looked like mine(can be seen on previous pages) but mine did not state "deep bowls". Or was it an internal tweak?- fongalv
