Well I got it, it’s definitely Realtek and can output 384kHz/32bit on my PC so I assume it is ALC5686 which is a pretty good deal for $8. Sounds kind of bright to my ears. I did a direct comparison with the headphone jack on my T-MOBILE Revvl 5g and the dongle on my phone at the same time with...

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GB229TT I need one of these for my iPad Air 4 and ATH-AD700. There are so many of them in the $10 range on Amazon. Last one I ordered didn’t work at all, I just ordered this one today. It appears to be Realtek based but it’s hard to know because the...

I'm not sure what to buy in the $60 range. This would be my first portable bluetooth DAC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is it worth getting over a BTR3K? Used they are the same price.

What's the differences between the Hiby W3 and the W3S (Saber)? I assume the Saber is the newer model- is it better than the W3? They are pretty much the same price.

Georgieo, I picked up a pair of these as well. Unfortunately I can't read Japanese either and am forced to use Google Translate the same as you to translate the Japanese .PDF manual, which is a bit lacking.   Have you figured out what COMPRESSION and the various settings does?

I'm game to import a pair of these through Tenso.com. Anyone ever use them before? They seem to get fairly decent write-up around the web. I'll have to use their "buying service" and pay the extra 15% because I have no idea how to order through the Japanese websites (Yahoo.jp Shopping).   I...

Quote: I've owned the Pioneer SE-DIR800C for ~5yrs and always thought they offered up a good approximation of the "surround" experience in a headphone environment. Only bad thing was they were a bit unweidly/heavy and fragile and broke the first time they hit the floor (although a bit...

Considering I have such sensitive neighbors I'll probably end up getting a pair of these (if the reviews are good). I've been waiting for a set of cans that can support Blu-Ray and lossless more fully. I also like using headphones with my HTPC because I don't hear my PC's fan while in use.

Quote: As I stated in my first post, the amp decodes most of the standard lossless formats around- the first for a wireless headphone amp.

Thought more people would be interested in the prospect of a lossless headphone setup. I guess not. Will I be the first one to end up testing this?:)

I don't know. I think you'll be very happy with the Pioneer SE-DIR800C base and the http://www.audiocubes.com/category/H...eadphones.html

Bump.

No, not true. The general consensus here is that the Pioneer SE-DIR800Cs are a pretty good deal, or you can get the 800C base with the Audio-Technica ATH-DCL3000R cans too. I picked up the 800Cs a few years back for $300 shipped and they do a decent job for a pair of wireless Dolby...

Dropped my 800C phones. Superglued them back, but they broke in a bad spot so now they're uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Just curious if the 2000C cans are any good and if they're compatible with the 800C base?

Dolby Headphone is quite good, and is a fine substitute for a 5.1 setup (late night listening, apartments, etc). I highly recommend people check out the Pioneer setup that Takashi recommended. I own a pair and I don't see how I ever did without them.

Is there another generation of wireless phones planed by Pioneer for release? It seems that it's the base/transmitter that will change faster than the phones. I suspect the AT/Pioneer phones will be around for quite a few years before new models are offered. I guess I know what my next...

I don't find the 800c particularly comfortable, so I'm hoping these will be better. Me and my big American head.

Trash.

The DIR-800C cans are good. We're talking about wireless DH surround- specifically cans that work with Pioneer's transmitter.

Nice. I like the stand. Problem with the 800c phones is there's nowhere to put them. I'm interested in a comparison with the 800c phones as the 3000R costs more than the entire 800c package.

DD is pretty impressive at the higher bitrates used on DVHS D-Theater tapes. I think they use 576k and 640k and sound much better than their DVD counterparts. There is no reason why they couldn't use higher bitrate DD tracks on DVD.

Quote: After 10 years, and 8 soundblaster cards I will never buy another creative product again. It blows me away that they can advertise the Audigy 2 as supporting digital surround sound when it can only output PCM(2 channels). Creative had nothing to do with it- You didn't do enough...
