2018 Mac Mini i7 (few months old) Today hooked up topping mx3 to power bookshelf speakers and HP’s with just one unit. it was streaming my tidal for about an hour and then just shut down. Mx3 never lost power, speakers did not pop nor any other sound produced. Case was warm but not hot, warm...

My simple setup already in use is just Beyer DT-770M’s and Shure 425 iem’s. I just purchased a new Mac mini for the office(naturally before the m1 release) and need better speaker setup for it, I have old rebuilt infinity bookcase speakers that I want to run the desktop sound through. How can...

I have been using Shure 425’s with Sensaphonics custom sleeves and I have Beyer’s 770 M as a starting point into this world of awesomeness. I tore one sleeve so I know my uses are limited with that IEM. If you were to suggest or buy a CIEM for $500-$650 or there abouts......and be happy with...

I would like to start acquiring a library on my IPad Pro as the center of my “listening station”. I’m thinking I could have a nice corner in my office where I would have my “listening station” with the iPad Pro then get amp, DAC, as well as whatever else I end up getting along the route to...

I would like to use my 770’s to plug into my audio system to watch TV with my wife. Our Tv has a Denon receiver that has a HP port in the front but obviously when I plug in, the speakers shut off. What equipment do I need to add? Basically We would like to watch together but at different volume...

I just picked up a Beyerdynamic 770 Pro M and have listened to it for about an hour. Also I just ordered Shure SE425’s they will be here in a week? I listen to classical and opera mainly, with jazz and some other “modern” not dead people music :>) occasionally. What would be the best head...

I need the best sound isolation I can get and I know CIEM’s are the way to go. I am not an educated audiophile like you guys and gals (yet). While I do appreciate music, sound of any kind actually causes me great pain. Before I got sick I liked Boston Acoustic Speakers back in the day but I...

I am wondering what are the highest rated noise isolating IEM’s? Is it etymotic specifically the ER4XR model? I have Shure SE 215’s and think they are nice, was considering going to a CIEM Shure Model. Would the 4XR’s be better than custom 425 or 535’s?? I know very little so please be gentle...

1st question: Is buying used equipment OK? For now I will limit myself to this forum only, if it ok. What should I ask when buying the basics? DAC’s IEM’s & DMP’s? All for the moment being portable music. 2nd: My first and only step into the ring thus far is Shure 215’s. I LOVE the way they...
