It seems like this may be the answer for android: http://www.head-fi.org/t/685414/preview-fiio-e18-kunlun-surprise-surprise   I think I'm just going to get an iBasso DX50 rather than a DAC and see how it goes from there.

I had looked into these two DAPs and was coming to a decision on which to get until I read this thread!   Has anyone tried them with a pair of HD25s (my primary out and about headphones)? Their 70 Ohm impedance hasn't been covered by anyone yet.

Sounds like the DAC is too power hungry for the phones. I know you can get OTG cables with power connections for these sort of issues. Does anyone know if a battery powered USB OTG cable/hub exists?

I'm interested in this DAC... if it works with an Android phone. Has anyone tried this yet, I can't find any evidence either way at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try and find somewhere to listen to the Denons and Shures I think. Easier said than done in Scotland though...   No one has suggested getting a DAC. I can understand that it won't be as "fun" as a new set of headphones, but will it improve my set up? I'm...

I must have been too wordy...   Would a Little Dot DAC_I or a pair of HD600/650s be more fun/better?!

Wasn't sure which forum to put this in so I've stuck it here for now.   I'm looking to buy a new headphone related toy. I'm (probably) looking for either a DAC or a new set of headphones (HD600/650 perhaps?).   I figured I would ask the community what they think would be a good...

Even more choice! No idea what to do now! :P    NA Blur are you speaking from experience that these are all great headphones?   Anyone else got anything that I might find useful?

I'm looking to upgrade my portable listening experience and am having trouble deciding what headphone to get.   Features I'm after: Circumaural (I feel like on-ear headphones are going to fall off all the time) Able to be driven by my phone (Nexus S) or mp3 player (Sansa Clip+), i.e...

Well I managed to find and buy the SU-DH1. Needed the DTS capability for movies which are amazing now! The soundstage has exploded in size!   However, I can clearly hear a hum on the SU-DH1 at higher volumes which is thanks to noise coming from the DC adaptor (I tried it with batteries and...

Out of interest, can you tell me the actual spec for the power supply?

Haven't checked this for a while!   Thanks for the replies. I reckon the SU-DH1 is what I want, I don't need the minor amplification of the DSS (have a little dot mk III) and I definitely DO want DTS!   What are the specs for the power adaptor? Surely I can get something suitable from...

Apologies for double post.   Have now been looking at the SU-DH1 and think it may be more what I'm looking for. Gaming isn't my main reason for buying a surround sound processor. I already have a good headphone amp and so I purely need the surround processing.   My only question about...

Thanks for the info, I'm a bit more intrigued by the mixamp now.   Having googled reviews of the DSS a lot of people seem to be disappointed in its surround sound capabilities, but I think they just don't like dolby headphone.   Couple of questions: 1) Is the mixamp powered by usb, or...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but.....   I am basically wondering if anyone has this and what it's like. I've had a quick search on the forums but haven't found any recent posts. It fills my criteria in that it takes optical input and converts to a headphone socket whilst...
