Over the last few weeks I'd been playing with my Raspi 3 and Volumio and man it is a great little source. Every USB DAC I had plugged in has worked perfectly and being able to edit your playlist with any device you happen to have in front of you is a really nice convenience factor. The setup I...

As a WFH project I picked up an old PC (literally off the road) and scavenged some parts and put together a working pc with an i5, 8gigs of ram and old video card. The only thing I needed to purchased here the hard drives (2 X 3TB WD Greens) I've since moved all my media over and am running a...

After loosing my headphone jack in a recent phone upgrade I picked up the official Apple lighting port dongle. However I’ve been pleasantly surprised as their DAC seems quite good. I have been travelling and haven’t had a chance to try it at home with most of my headfi but as a portable option...

I was just thinking about how most of us run a good set of speakers to compliment our headphones or vice versa but there isn’t much chatter about It on here. I ordered a set of Vanatoo T0’s to go run along side my gaming/music rig and I’ll throw up some pics when I get it all set up. What’s...

Looking at the specs it appears to be a pretty good player for the asking price. The most notable aspect is the 30 hr battery life and native DSD playback and USB dac function. The amazon reviews look good but that's about all there is to go by. I did already place an order because of the...

I've had a pair of Fiio EX1 (gen 1's) for about 6 months now and really enjoy them.  I'd have a little extra cash and would like to invest in a slightly more expensive pair or IEM's as I will be traveling for a long period of time soon.  I'm looking to spend around $100.  Ideally something with...

So I purchased this cable as a shorty for my 400i's.  I figured all cables were the same as long as the connectors matched.  To my surprise the cable did not work.  I'm a little clueless as to why it wouldn't work if all the connectors are the same.  ...

I haven't really looked at portable amps for a couple years.  Recently acquiring a pair of t50rp mk3's I am now in the market for one.  I've always looked at the cmoy amps with a bit of curiosity and was wondering if its still a viable solution.  I'm a budget guy when it comes to audio gear and...

I've been thinking about an upgrade to my M6 pro's and have always had my eye on the Shure E215.  Are their others in the same price range that offer better sound/build quality?

I think I'm going to retire my rubber bands and try somthing new.  I was just wondering what others have done as a solution for attaching there portable amps.  

The buttons are going on my clip zip.  Its been my gym mp3 player for almost 2 years now.  I managed to temorarily clean them up with some rubbing alcohol but it got me thinking its only a matter of time.  I went digging for a new one at all the regular sites and discovered they are discontinued...

Hey all,  I received a set of MEE M6 Pro's from Santa.  Its my first pair of IEM with a replaceable cable.  I was wondering if all cables fit or are they proprietary?  E.I will shure cables fit my M6 pro?

Drumroll............. An old blackberry curve 8530! So I was digging underneath the couch cushions searching for treasures and stumbled across my wife's old blackberry curve. Being the tinkerer I am I charged it up, plugged it into my Fiio E11 and was pleasantly surprised by the sound. The...

Thinking about picking up a new DAP for my vehicle.  I'm gonna be running it from a 3.5mm AUX cable for now.  Just wondering what everyone else is using?

I'm thinking about picking up this player. On of my requirements when purchasing new electronics is the ability to change the battery. Just wondering how easy it is to take it down and swap a battery should the need arise?

With some time off over the holidays I've decided to take on the task of properly tagging my music collection.  I've been collecting music on my PC for 15 years and I wasn't always as good about tagging my files properly as I am now.     Is there software out there that will scan and tag my...

I've been looking at the Fiio E10 AND Hifimediy Sabre so far. It will be only used with my laptop. Am I missing any other hidden gems?

I've been using mine for almost a year.  They're durable,  fit well and sound good too.  Just wanted to give everyone that's looking for a different budget option for a gym IEM the heads up!

Just wondering if this is possible to do without affecting the sound? I ordered a pair of UE4000's and the ear cushions are non replaceable.

I'm looking for a new set of IEM's. I'm a little bit of a bass head but really listen to a little bit of everything. So far my research has pointed me to the Shure E215's as the best choice. Am I missing any other gems for the same price bracket or less?

I have a mini usb jack in my car stereo I've been looking to finally use with a Fiio E11 coming in the mail. just curious if I can use the mini usb charging port to send audio out?

I have everything for a small budget setup on the way. I'll be running an iPhone 4 with a fiiio E11 hooked up through an L3. I have a few sets of IEM's but nothing that I really like yet, my best being a pair of LG Quadbeat 2's. Just looking for idea's around the $70 mark.

I believe I've narrowed it down to these two. I'm looking for a solidly built player that will take MicroSD and has extended battery life. Which one should I go with? Am I missing out on any other players that are more modern with the same features and price tag? I'm not really looking for any...
