    PIONEER XDP-300R and TIDAL

    Just subscribed to Tidal. My XDP-300R will not download Tidal. It says something about it does not work with my equipment. Yes, the Pioneer is running 5.1 of Android, but Tidal should be good with anything above 4.X. I read the player comes with Tidal?? Can't seem to find it though. Can...

    NEW PLAYER PURCHASE SUGGESTIONS?

    I have a Pioneer XDP-300R music player that I purchased in August of 2018. I love it, but it is Android 5.1.1, and I guess just like old iPods, it won't update! What are they at now, 10. something?? It has aptX, but not that Sony hi-res bluetooth format (forgot the 4 letters). It will still...

    CD player (audiophile)

    Can someone suggest a current good sounding CD player? I suspect 20 years advancement makes anything I have obsolete. Not the esoteric, overpriced goofy stuff. Just a killer choice in the few to several hundred dollar range.

    Senn HD650 and amp question

    I have owned the HD650's for many years. Recently, I've been reading that they HAVE to be driven with a fairly capable amp to sound at their best. I have a Pioneer XDP300R hi res audio player with CD's uploaded in FLAC format, as well as a FiiO Q5 DAC amp that I use sometimes for ALAC files...

    Very expensive vs. Very cheap tube-type headphone amp

    Thought some readers might be interested in these notes.  My old favorite headphone amp is an Antique Sound Labs MG head OTL. I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 bucks...about ten years ago.    I use Senn HD650 cans.   Recently, I picked up a Chinese headphone amp on...
