When I plug my Nexus 7, running USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP), into my ODAC, then onward to my Tralucent T1, it works great.   But when I plug the Nexus 7 (same cable) (mini-USB on end, into my hub, and then the hub into the ODAC, I get no music. UAPP seems to recognize that there is a DAC...

Ran across this interesting thread.  A box like he describes would give us the best of both worlds. Use a tablet or computer or cell phone for the UI and DLNA. Then push the music data to an audiophile DAC. Otherwise we could wait many years for Anedio or Audio-gd to add UPnP inside their DACs...

  Lately I have been using Synology's phone app to pull music off my NAS, then do the D/A in the phone (Samsung Galaxy Note), and drive my Sennheiser HD650's with a FiiO e5 on the line to boost the signal. It sounds pretty great.    Their app fails on half the songs though, on Android on...

I submit the system in my sig as a top bang-for-the-buck system, $500 category.   Would be interesting to submit similar rigs for $100 category (something driving a KCS-75 with the Kramer mod possibly) or $250 category (Sparrow driving the RE0 IEM is my entry).    Should I apologize in...

In light of the way http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f15/po...isting-255819/ seems to be down to stuff that hasn't been manufactured since the turn of the century, and the thread itself seems to not get updated, I emailed iBasso. Quote: Dear Sir, Thank you for your email. 1, the iPods...

Saw this on dealnews. Am I allowed to post deals here? How would the HD-650 enlighten me versus my existing Grado SR-60 (with electrical tape mod)... "JR.com offers the Sennheiser HD-650 Audiophile Headphones for $319.99 with free shipping. (Choose "Email Price" and you'll receive an e-mail...

An iBasso like the D10 sounds pretty exciting. But how do the best portable DACs compare to the larger home units like the (Tian Yun) Zero or the Audio-gd Compass? What price portability, what do I give up, compared to these or other non-portable DAC units? It would be handy to carry a...

Are there any cell phones with SPDIF out? I sure don't trust the D/A on my cell phone, nor on an iPod or an iPhone, or my laptop or desktop computer for that matter. I mean people here spend $1000 on D/A... its important. So how can we turn our cell phones into the portable DIGITAL .flac library...
