i've never really used bluetooth streaming, but i'm restoring my 69 camaro, the cd player is going and in in it's place a digital receiver. (cd player wouldn't fit in glove box after installation of AC-new car receiver is much shorter) so i find myself doing research on bluetooth streaming...

recently i bought the sony nw a35 as a replacement for my old sony a17 player that got ruined. i was going to simply replace that, but it's discontinued. i took a chance on this player, i'm very happy with it... i hesitated because this newer player is cheaper, but i'm glad i got it. i think...

yesterday I asked about media go vs sony's new music center... I had gotten used to media go's quirks but they've abandoned it. I installed and tried the new music center and it doesn't want to import albums in AIFF so that's a dealbreaker. I found media go online, but thought i'd ask 'what is...

man... recently i bought (and adore) sony nw a35 player after dropping my beloved a17 in the toilet. i use sony's media go which i know can be buggy but i'm used to it and sorta like it now. i need to do a windows reinstall and after making a list of the programs i need to reinstall after...

does anyone know what happens when you make an aiff lossless file of a dvd-a 5.1 mix TO STEREO? does it mix all channels or just the front two? i'm getting conflicting reports either way... i have done a couple discs and i don't THINK i am missing any tracks but i'd like to know for sure. some...

i have asked this question in a couple of different places and i cannot seem to get an answer that really addresses the question... if you buy an album from a high quality online place such as hd tracks, are you getting a recording that is somehow BETTER than if you had purchased the cd and...

i seem to have lost my ipod 5.5 g 80 gig. i am considering doing one of two things and would like some advice...   first, i have tinnitus, and cannot hear above 12 khz, thanks to years of too loud listening levels...   i can however tell the difference between 128 kb and 320 kb aac. so...

a friend of mine who doesn't care a lot about sound quality asked me to show him an inexpensive way to get sound from his dvd player via rca jacks to headphones for when he's on the treadmill in the morning. i know a simple splitter exists, i've seen several, but these wouldn't have volume...

recently i saw porcupine tree in concert here in los angeles and he played a guitar that had video images moving all over the body, like it was a guitar shaped led flat screen... never saw anything like it. anyone know who makes this guitar?

i got this cd from the fanclub and when it came there was an extra cd. an email the following day explained there was a problem with the mastering and to throw the one in the jewel away and use the extra one in the envelope. on the song anesthetize, track 5 at the 3 minute mark and thereafter...

anyone heard this yet? i considered buying it this weekend, it's one of my faves... but it's like 24 bucks, kind of steep for a cd i've had for years. besides, are remastered editions typically just 'louder'? or are they fooled with in order to get better sound out of them? i am skeptical of...

on a recent snowboarding trip i was shuffling my ipod and when old 80's music came on that was mastered at lower levels than new music the volume shift bugged me. so last night i went through the collection and selected albums that were older and volume adjusted them up to 150% or so. afterwards...

i have loved porcupine tree for years, and i usually love any other projects he does... he's been nominated for a grammy twice ( i think) for his producing skills, he usually releases his albums in dvd-a... he's an audiophile. but now in the mail yesterday i received the fan club only live cd...

i have the oppo dv 980h player (killer dvd sacd upscaling player with awesome dac) as my work listening setup with a dedicated tube headphone amp and sennheiser hd595's... when playing dvd-a's, such as steven wilson's new insurgentes i was wondering if it's necessary to set the audio settings to...

apple HAS to notice that sales of expensive headphones are through the roof. they HAVE to know about the imod. they HAVE to know about portable headphone amps... how many of us would pay an extra $100 bucks to get an ipod with all the good gear in it already? let's all chime in and see if they...

does anyone know whether the ps3 has a 24 bit dac? i understand one of the recent firmware upgrades enables the player to decode 24 bit sound from dts encoded blu ray discs, but that's not the same thing is it? if the dac in it is crappy, can it be upgraded?

the new iriver spinn 8 gig player sounds interesting to me- has anyone heard it yet? does it sound good? it plays flac files, but can a portable player really do justice to a flac encoded song? and lastly, does it NOT play aac? it seems silly that a $280 8gig player would exclude ANY codec...

...and i was wondering if there are shows like that where there are soundproof rooms to listen in? there was so much nice equipment, but the room was loud, so open headphones were out of the question for testing.

i have shure e500's with an ipod /bling bling dock/hornet set up which i love... a friend i work with who got the same headphone bug set himself up with a nice rig at home. (not portable) he recently upgraded his amp and sold me his x-can v3. i LOVE this amp. maybe it's just that i'm getting my...

i have been itching to get the new old stock sony d25 cd player with it's 'coveted 4x oversampling' or whatever it's called just because i hear so much about this player. but before i do, i was wondering something... i use a portable dvd player with line out to my amp into hd595's. i figure...

my shure e 500's cord is splitting right where the right ear cord bends over the top of my ear! i've only had these about a year, i bought them from headphone.com. i take extremely good care with my things and these were placed in the case whenever they weren't in my ears... has this happened to...

ever since the last one or two itunes updates, whenever i plug in an ipod to my computer, or drag an album onto it or acess it in any way, a window pops open that is annoying... it has a 'ipod_control' folder in it and nothing else, it doesn't do anything, and i have to manually close it to get...

i have as my workspace setup a portable dvd player that i run a line out to my hornet into either shure e500's or sennheiser 595's... i was thinking about getting myself one of those new old stock square sony cd players everyone raves about. i think most of you know the one i'm referring to. but...

can anyone tell me why lately when i rip in aac in 224, 256 or 330 bit rate the files come out AROUND the set number? it used to be that ALL songs recorded 330 were 330, and lately at 330 the songs will vary between 327 to 336 or so... each song is different in it's rate. have i checked some...

does the NEW zune have good sound? i know about the ipod 5 g having a wolfson dac, and that the new ones use a cheaper chip, therefore i won't be upgrading to the 160 gb model... i was curious about the zunes... does anyone know how they're built? are the components inside any good? i have a...
