    London Head-Fi Meet April 2013

    I'd also like to add my own huge thanks to Nadeem and Sennheiser for a great meet, and extend it to all of the people who brought along your rigs and patiently let me listen to them.   This was the first time I've been to a meet, and I didn't really know what to expect. Walking into the posh...

    Reply to review by 'threeek' on item 'iFi iCAN headphone amplifier'

    Thanks for a great review, I bit the bullet and bought an iCAN on the strength of this, then enjoyed 3 days waiting for it to arrive while worrying if I'd done the right thing - I'm not a big fan of deviating far from the original sound, so I had some reservations. I have a decent speaker based...

    A headphone shoot-out from a speaker listener - Testing eleven headphones from £ 80 to £ 1,200

    Thanks for that Rich, I'll watch out for the next Whittlebury Hall one when it comes around - it's not too far away.

    A headphone shoot-out from a speaker listener - Testing eleven headphones from £ 80 to £ 1,200

    I enjoyed reading this review, very interesting and well written. Thank you!   I'm considering going for the he-400 or he-500 at some point in the future. I'm going to make sure I actually get to see a current model before making a purchase, so I can ensure I'm happy with the build quality...

    Quote:   I've never had a problem with several Linux boxes and different DACs before - In my experience the noise problem is exclusive to the Raspberry Pi.   As a Unix sysadmin I have to defend Linux, it's wonderful! :-) I hope it goes well with the TPLINK - good luck!

    Quote:     I read about that on an Amazon review, but I got the impression that it isn't an issue with newer ones. Hopefully they've addressed it in the production process - I'm well out of practice on my soldering.

    Thanks very much for the answers and ongoing research on this, it sounds like just what I want. I've bitten the bullet and ordered one from China now, though it's going to take a while to turn up.

    Simple, low cost, HiFi network music streaming device

    That's impressive, I'm really glad to hear you've had success with the Android stick, I'm very interested in doing something similar.   Please can I ask:     1) How long has it been up and running for now?     3) Is the audio stable without glitches?     2) What sort of temperature...

    Raspberry Pi & DIY

    I tried both of my DACs with and without a powered hub and it made no difference to the noise. In its current state, I feel that the Pi doesn't seem suitable as an audio solution unfortunately. It's always possible that this issue could be debugged and fixed by someone in the Linux community in...

    Review by 'Threeek' on item 'Sony MDR-1R'

    I've listened to these for ~30 hours now, and despite them being a little warmer than I expected I've come to really appreciate their easy going sound signature. The mid-bass is a little pronounced, but it's enjoyable rather than overwhelming - I certainly wouldn't describe them as a bass-head...
