    Help finding a cable

    Hey guys,    The cable that came with my iBasso D42 portable amp which connects it to my Samsung Galaxy S3 just broke, and I can't find a replacement. I tried emailing iBasso, but not response. I've attached pictures of both ends of the cable. Samsung S3 end    iBasso amp end     Does...

    Record Players

    Hi guys,    Up till now, I've only been concerned with digital audio - headphones, amps, DACs, etc. But recently I've been getting into digital rips of vinyls, such as Dr. Robert's Beatles rips, and the sound difference is substantial. The vinyl sounds much warmer and full. I had always wanted...

    Is the odac+o2 combo portable?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find a straight answer anywhere. Does the odac+o2 DAC/amp combo run off batteries, which means I can take it with me on the go and use it with my phone, or does it require an AC power source? Also, how big is it? Will I be able to...

    Portable Tube Amps

    Hi guys,   I only have a portable rig right now, and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. I currently amp my headphones through an iBasso D-Zero. It works well, but I'd like to upgrade to better sound. I've never had a "proper" high-end amp before, so I'd like to see what I'm...

    Help?

    Hi guys,   So I've narrowed down my next set of cans to either the Denon D2000 or the Hifiman HE-400. Heard great things about both, but I'm honestly stuck. They both have their own great traits, and I just can't decide. I'll be amping them out of an iBasso D-Zero. Can some owners or...

    Decisions, decisions...

    Hi guys,    So I'm treating myself for my birthday with a new pair of headphones. I listen to rock, alternative, and acoustic. I have rock and alternative pretty well covered with my V-Moda M80s and Grado 225i, so I'm looking for something that does acoustic very well, but preferably not at...

    How exactly do DACs work with Android?

    Okay, so I can't find a straight answer to this question anywhere. I have a rooted Samsung Infuse a JellyBean port custom ROM. I want to be able to use an external DAC / Amp with it; will this work? If so, what exactly do I need, and how should it be set up? Thanks!

    Looking to move on from my Grados.

    Hey guys. So about a year ago, I made my first foray into the land of quality headphones with the Grado 225is. They sound great, but I've been looking to experiment more. I listen to only rock; I wouldn't consider myself a basshead, but I do love my bass, which was one of my problems with the...

    Does the Total Airhead work on Android?

    Hey guys. I've been thinking about getting the total airhead dac/amp, but I don't know if the dac, the part that i actually need, works on portable devices. I know it says "portable" amp, but I've read articles that say that the dac only works through USB, which my android phone doesnt have? So...

    Help on deciding on headphones?

    Hey guys. I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene. I purchased my first pair of high-end headphones about 8 months ago- they were the Grado 225is. They sound great, but I think its time to explore a little more. I listen exclusively to rock music, so keep that in mind. I'm deciding between the...

    Replacing the headband on the Grado225is?

    Hey guys! I've had my Grado's for a while now, and I have to say, they're pretty fricking awesome. Excuse my lack of eloquence, but that's all I have to say about them. Anyway, I've replaced the earpads already, making it a lot more comfortable. However, the head band is still pretty stiff and...

    1/4mm input portable headphone amp?

    Hey guys. I'm looking for a portable headphone amp to use with my new Grado 225is. However, all the amps I've looked at so far have a 1/8mm input, which won't work, as the 225is have a 1/4mm jack. The amp must be under $100. Thanks!

    Noobie question

    Hey guys. So I recently purchased my first headphone amp, the Rolls HA43 Pro, and it came in the mail today. But the problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to connect it to my iPad. There's no jack or anything. Help? LOL, thanks. I realize how ridiculous this question is, but....I seriously...

    Is there any way to change mp3s into FLAC, AAC, etc?

    hey guys. So I've been reading around the Internet, and apparently, mp3s suck. Now that I've got a amp and some killer headphones, I want to make sure I'm getting the absolute best sound quality possible. So my question is, is there any way to convert 320 Kbps mp3s into FLAC or AAC, or...

    I'm new at this.

    Hey guys. So, I've recently purchased my first pair of headphones, the Sennheiser 438s. They sound great, but I've read a few things about " burning in". What does this mean, and how does it affect the sound? Also, what's a headphone amp? Thanks.

    Which Sennheisers?

    Hey guys. So I've been looking to buy some better headphones, and have heard some good things about Sennheisers. I was just wondering, which of their cans would you recommend, cause I'm having some trouble deciding. I've looked through their products, and I'm leaning towards the HD 438s or HD...
