    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Sorry not following this. I travel a lot. Another charger doesn't help me on most aircraft or trains and I don't want to charge an SP1000 in terminals, only a matter of time before I forget it or it's nicked. So is an Anker PowerCore battery safe for charging the SP1000? Not sure why it's...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    I have another power question: There has been a lot of discussion about charging adapters, and I'm a bit confused by what is and is not safe. I travel a lot and carry a couple of Anker batteries like this one. Their specs aren't very detailed, only listing output as 5V 3A. The A&K manual...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    HI all. I have a new SP1000 arriving this week. I was very excited but may have jumped too quickly without enough research. I have fast fiber internet service and keep my library on a Synology running Minimserver. I was upgrading hoping I could stream my library to the SP1000 over WAN when...

    Fiio X5 iii won't connect to Minimserver

    Hi, hoping someone might help me. I have a Fiio X5 iii that I cannot get connected to my music stored on a Synology running Minimserver. Other devices can connect. The X5 Fiio Music app can see Minimserver on the local network but when I tap to connect it says "Get Info Fail!". I downloaded...

    Meitner MA-1

    I had the EMM Labs cd player in my house and was quite sad to see it go.  Unfortunately I couldn't swing the price, especially given the limited feature set, i.e. no digital inputs for a computer front end.   But since the Playback Designs was designed by the same designer, I've been...

    Which player preferred by Audiophiles?

    As I see it "audiophile" and compression are not really compatible. If the biggest SQ factor is headphones, then I believe the second biggest factor is file compression. Therefore most of these players, no matter how good they sound, are not really adequate due to their memory limitations. I...

    ipod photo (4th gen) - how does it sound?

    I have one and have just been doing some comparisons, found my Touch to sound much better. Also took it into the Apple store and found the Classic to be better than my 4g, but not as good as the Touch. I was thinking of getting a 5/5.5g with a 240gb hd but now wondering if unamped it sounds...

    Against all inclinations to the contrary I did the unthinkable...

    So let me get this straight... A company made a good product that you loved. A retail store carried it and gave you good service. They had R&D, development, marketing, manufacturing, distribution costs. The retailer had costs involved with carrying and selling the product. You went and...

    Which DAP?

    OK, I posted this by mistake in the wrong forum so cut/paste here. Thanks for any help: OK, I've been reading for days and can't figure out what to do. I need a new DAP. I use JH13 Pro's. My priorities are storage first, cuz what good is it if you can't carry lots of lossless? Second sound...

    Which DAP?

    OK, so I need to order something. If it was between the iPod Classic and the iPod Video 5/5.5g, which is the winner based alone on sound quality?

    Which DAP?

    OK, I've been reading for days and can't figure out what to do. I need a new DAP. I use JH13 Pro's. My priorities are storage first, cuz what good is it if you can't carry lots of lossless? Second sound quality and portability. And since portability is an issue, I listen to the HP out a lot...
