Hello Folks. It has been a long time since I posted in this forum... Can you please suggest a good headphone amp for my system? I do like clean fast deep bass but not the 'bass hump' like you get if you listen to mp3s. All my music is ripped onto my computer as lossless flacs and apls. I could...

I have had similar problems in the past. Here is what I did to resolve it: Not sure which aspect works but I think it is number 3 and 7. 1)Disable all firewalls 2)Disable all security protections 3) RESET the Slimdevice to factor setting 4) Powerdown slimdevices, the computer and the...

Thanks. Well, even that is not working.. Tried it Is my Chaintech broke?

Perreaux still available for 199 from HiFi Farm. It is pretty good with my Sony XA777es SACD player and Sennheiser HD650

Not to understate the necessity for caution, but my NAD did smell a bit too when I was burning it in. As people said, use it only when you are there, drive it hard when you are there and hopefully either the smell will go away or, the amp will just give up. Either way, you will still be in...
