    LG G2 android phone -- first 24 bit/192kHz phone DAC

      The Note 3 isn't released yet for retail in the US.  I will test it over the next few days. I don't have a really high end DAP, but I can use some of my desktop DACs for comparison.

    LG G2 android phone -- first 24 bit/192kHz phone DAC

    I just got this phone today. So far I am EXTREMELY impressed. I previously had 4 generations of iPhones, and I was ready for something a bit more.... open.   I noticed an actual difference in sound stage (wider) and detail when I plugged this into my stereo. Hardly a blind test, but I am going...

    Looking for earbud style headset

    I am looking for something to use on a new Android phone that is similar to the Apple ear buds. I dont want IEM, just something I can quickly use to make a call. Looking at about $40-50 max.

    Really bad news about Windows 8 and high-end audio

    Basically, Windows 8 has some change that dramatically increases latency and probably audio judder and crackling.   It appears to be related to a power saving feature, but this has not been confirmed.   I think we maybe should start some sort of petition on this.  ...

    Headphones without recessed mids that are also comfortable

    I just ordered some AKG 271 and I hate them.   I am starting to think the Denon's are better than I thought....

    Headphones without recessed mids that are also comfortable

    Up to about $700. Less is great. If I could get something for $2-300 that would be ideal.

    Headphones without recessed mids that are also comfortable

    I just got some Denon 7000s and I am not entirely happy with them. The mids are bit too recessed for me.    Can anyone suggest a pair of headphones (ideally closed back) where the mids are not as recessed but they are still very comfortable. Thanks!

    What is the latest with the M2Tech Hiface?

    I bought an M2Tech Hiface about a year ago when it was being billed as the greatest thing since sliced bread.   I use it currently as a pretty decent laptop sound card outputting to my home stereo receiver.   I was hoping that it would eventually get Linux support. Does anyone know if...

    Replacement for broken MX880 earbuds

    Hi, I generally do not like IEM. I bought some Sennheiser MX880 ear buds, and I loved the sound, but they are now broken.   For a replacement, what do you suggest? I would be willing to consider an IEM, but I think I would prefer earbuds. A good quality volume control would be great, or...

    Swan m200MkIII's on floor stands?

    I run mine on floor stands. I have never had an opportunity to run them on a desktop unfortunately (crappy furniture budget with all the electronics spending). I could believe that they might sound deeper/fuller on a desktop.   Overall, I really like them, but I have noticed they have a...

    Need a good usb DAC with XLR outputs and decent headphone amp

    I have never heard the EMU 0404, but I would say yes.  Does the EMU have balanced out puts?

    Calling All "Vintage" Speaker Owners

    My grandpa has several fully functioning stereos around his house from the 1950s and 1960s. Some of them are tube amps.   One is a HUGE Packard Bell unit from the early 1950s with what looks like two 12" woofers.   In fact most of his systems seem to have 12" woofers.

    Balanced DAC for *speakers*

    I just bought a pair of balanced monoblock amps for my speakers, and I am considered hooking them up to my Little Dot DAC I.   I need the LD DAC in another room for headphone use, however, so I will need a new DAC in my living room for this setup.   Can anyone give me an updated...

    Audioengine A5 vs. Swan D1080MKII 08 vs. ??? for party listening

    A5.   I own the Swam M200MKIII.   They are great speakers, but they are not your best bet for filling a room.
