I've ordered the one one with the micro USB connector for android phones. I think it's coming from China so may take a couple of weeks. I'll post something when I receive it and have had a chance to do some comparisons.

Been posting elsewhere. Just to conclude what I've decided for the moment.   Having been persuaded that any version of trying to use my phone as a source might not be the best option, I've realised that I had a cheap wifi streaming device (QED uPlay Stream) sitting unused in a cupboard. Just...

Thanks. Agree completely that it's what you like the sound of that really matters, but was just interested if there was some technical reason why using the gain setting might compromise the sound.   Just been doing some tests and concluded I'll stick with the low gain setting. It still lets me...

Thanks. Got me thinking about options and I remembered that I had a Wifi streaming device sitting unused in a cupboard (a QED uPlay stream - cheap but not too bad).   I've just set it up, with my E12 driving the HD600s and it sounds great streaming my lossless files from the NAS. Limits the...

I have an FiiO E12 which I use with my Sennheiser HD600s. A question I have never seen answered is whether there is any difference between the high and low gain settings (other than I have to turn the volume up higher on low gain!). Is there a sound quality benefit to one or the other, or is it...

Thanks. Really helpful. I clearly ought to do a bit more browsing.   It's not actually for desktop use. I want the rig to sit by my bed for late night listening. Really want to be able to plug my phone in and go (and want to be able to use same phone on the go during the day with iems).   On...

I'm not sure I know what you mean. Are you saying it simply won't connect (even with an OTG cable)? Or that it will only work with a separate power supply (like the Wyrd)? Or that i need a special app like UAPP (which I already have and maybe should have mentioned)?   I have a Motorola Moto G...

I'm posting here as a spin off to a thread on the intro forum where I asked advice about the best solution to driving my HD600s from an android phone. I was quickly pointed in the direction of the Schiit gear...   So, I am now starting to think about buying a Modi/Magni 2 ministack but have a...

Thanks for replies.   Now thinking of two possible routes.   First, FiiO Q1. I recognise that this would not sound as good as the Schiit set up (I assume) but is cheap enough that I'm tempted to just try it out (I think I just need the Q1 and an OTG cable). But main question is would it...

Thanks guys. Those both look interesting. Anyone able to compare those two options? It doesn't look like I can buy the Pangea in the UK though. The Schiit stuff looks really nice and good value.   Now seriously considering selling the FiiO and going for the Magni/Modi stack which looks like it...

Hi. First post although I have lurked here on and off over the years.   I have recently switched from iPhone to Android - I currently have a Motorola Moto G - and want to set myself up for using the phone to drive my HD600s as well as possible. I assume I want a solution that can send a...
