Got myself a Razer phone 2 during Cyber Monday deal, was impressed by the USB-C dongle that they provided no doubt it may not be as good as the ones recommended here in Head-Fi but it still provide me enough detail. The only cons I have with this phone is that they cheap out on lossless...

Thank you for the comments, with this I'll take a look around for SD 855 phones with USB C dongle. I'll be looking to buy the Meizu HiFi DAC USB C cable to pair with the phone.

Hi @Dani157, Thank you for the response, just to be sure when using the 3.5mm dongle, do the phone uses its own DAC or does it uses the DAC on the cable? I do recall that some if not most of those cable have a DAC in it, please do correct me if I'm incorrect. I'm looking for the highend SOC...

Hi @Dani157, Thank you for the response, after more research I found out that both Redmi K20 Pro and Xiaomi 9T Pro does not accept MicroSD card which is a bummer as my collection of music are in both lossless and lossy which will easily eat up the internal space. With these infomation I will...

Hi @alphastigma, Thank you for the comment, so K20 Pro is just above average in your opinion. In regards to what other phone options available, these are the ones that I've seen around being mentioned. LG V50 LG G8 LG G8X LG V40 LG G7 LG V35 LG V30 LG G6 (Old) LG V20 (Old) Vivo Nex S Samsung...

Hi @artpiggo, Thank you for the response, I would have consider that and the rest of LG's line of phone if not for the cost. A Redmi K20 Pro is half of the cost for LG V50 & V40 here in my country (It's not even sold officially too), whereas I can get Redmi readily now locally. Thanks...

Hi All, Long time lurker here would like to seek some advice on my next phone upgrade. I'm currently using LG V20, while it has been serving me well, it has been showing signs of slowness when doing multi-tasking or gaming. So I'm now looking out for what can I replace it with in the near...

@bjaardker Thank you for your response, just another question by doing a double amping is there any degradation of sound quality? Many thanks. :)

Hi All, I just bought a LG V20 and I've a few questions that I hope you guys can help me with. As I understand when you plug a AUX/extension cable into the phone, it'll be in AUX mode (An message appears: "External device connected"). From what I understand, there shouldn't be any volume in...

My rating goes like this : Swam M10 > M-Audio AV40 > Audioengine A2 I believe A2 can be pair with a sub, not too sure with AV40 http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/355187/how-to-add-subwoofer-to-audioengine-a2 http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/451320/how-to-connect-sub-to-av-40  ...

Lol... I've been using the same rechargeable battery for almost a year... Anyway, have anyone heard of a battery brand called powerex? Is it good?   Many thanks...

I for one bought the voyager for the shape of it and of course the sound... I like the fact that it's the same dimension as the ipod classic. Plus the fact that it packs quite a lot of punch in bass makes it the most ideal amps for me.   I think I'll buy it again if my current unit...

@Chrome Pumpkin Yeah, Wish I could collect them all but I've spend most of my money on rigs...   @reiserFS Why not get a 4-drive NAS?

Finally got my rig temporary completed...     Pardon my photography skill...

-Since you like the sound signature of Grado why not upgrade your can? Myabe Grado SR225I? -Grado are known to be easily driven, hence could be used with/without a delicated amp -There would be noticeable difference when used if an amp, but difference amp produces difference changes to the...

How about ATH-ES7 or ESW9 or M50?

You might want to try Harman/Kardon Soundstick II or Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra MX6021   Cheers...

For multi-genre, you can try Shure SRH840, BeyerDynamic DT880 (600 Ohm) or Denon AH-D2000. But personally I would recommend you to try the BeyerDynamic DT880 (600 Ohm), search around the forum about its review and you'll know...   Cheers...

Not sure about SRH840, I believe that your soundcard "should" be sufficient enough to power it. But for HD650, I believe that an amp is require to bring the best out of it.   And if you are going to get one, the maverick D1 should be a good start to begin...   Cheers...

I believe sound cards are able to drive low impedance headphones, so if you have a Beyerdynamic DT-770 (80ohm) it should be fine. But if you have one of those higher version (e.g. 600ohm), you might need one. You can also try Beyerdynamic DT-880 (600 Ohm) or Denon AH-D2000.   If you want...

Well, if it's the sound sig of ES7 that you like, you might want to try those out first. Btw, what's your budget? Also you might want to try the Fischer Audio's FA003.   Cheers...

Hey, I'm currently in the same position as you and has been doing some research for quite some time.   For a "all-rounder" Shure's SRH840 seems to be quite popular here. The Beyerdynamic DT880 (600Ohm) seems to be as popular here but required a powerful amp to power it. Also there's the...

Hey, I've the same problem as you and have settle with this few cans:   Beyer DT880 250Ohm (Open cans = less deep bass) Denon AH-D2000 (Recommended) Grado SR225i (Personal pick)   I have the same main music preferences as you (trance, electronic & techno) and many other (classical...

Both Shure SRH840 and ATH-M50 can be listened through your ipod touch without external amping...

Quote: Well, it's best that you test them out before you buy them, both Jaben and Stereo carries Sennheiser but only Jaben has go-vibe martini. Btw, can I ask you choose go-vibe Martni and HD595 (being a open cans)?   Cheers...
