Hi   I've only had this new DAC/Amp for a day, but I felt compelled to write an initial review of it as I'm astounded by the sound coming out of this tiny thing! I currently have it connected to my iPhone 6+ using the Apple Lightning to USB camera connection kit and the supplied short USB...

I just received my new Black HSA-BA100 IEMs direct from HiSoundAudio!   I contacted Jack at HSA to ask a few questions about the standard BA100 earphones and he mentioned that he was releasing a new version which was black and had "15% better sound", which apparently means that they are more...

Calling anyone in the UK interested in hearing Graham Slee's latest high fidelity headphone amplifier: The "Novo"! This amp sits between the well renowned Voyager portable amp and the hugely successful Solo home amp. It is more compact than the Solo, but it packs a massive punch, while...

After attending the UK meet yesterday, I came away needing to upgrade my USB DAC... I currently use an Edirol UA-1X, which sounds ok, but compared to a proper line-level source such as a CD Player, it is VERY quiet. I put this down to it being powered by USB and not having enough umph to...

Hi all This has quite probably been discussed to death, but... What do you all think of the SQ of the 2g Nano when using a LOD? I've not tried mine yet (waiting for my Qables LOD to be delivered), but as I've heard a few people bashing the Nano, I couldn't work out whether: a/ they...

The Chinese seller of the Xtra X-1 just got in touch with me to let me know about this amp: Storm STB4 Specification of the headphone amplifier: 1.characteristic:use brand new 4CH(4 channels) technology,there is no capacitance and inductance in signal channel of amp,directly...

Hi All I ordered some new pads for my DT990s the other day. They arrived yesterday, but they've sent Pleather (I assume it's not real leather?) pads instead of the Velour ones Now, do I send them back straight away, or are they any good? Will my face/ears get sweaty? Thanks in...

8gb Ipod Dock Touch Screen 3.5 INCH High Res OMG I want!

It's on now... Sounds fantastic I'm not usually a listener of classical music, but this is great!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra Click on Listen Online or whatever... Urban music (UK Mainly, HipHop/Grime) with an amazing orchastra, recorded this week in London. Very novel idea which seems to be working really well. If you read this tomorrow, it'll be on the "Listen Again" service online.

OK, so I thought I'd take some photos of my headphone (not including IEM) collection, but it turned into a mini shootout! So, the conteders: Beyerdynamic DT531 Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro Sennheiser HD25 SP Yamaha HP-3 "Orthodynamic Headphones" The Test: Track 6 on the STAX Binaural CD...

I really do like my DT531's, but I can't help thinking that my Corda amp is better than my cans and should be powering something a little more "high end" lol (or, I should just be honest and say, I've got upgraditis again! ). Anyway, I like the look of the DT880's, but I like listening to...

I see from the Dream Car thread that people here are into their cars, so... Show us your Car! Here's a few small pics of mine: It's a 2004 Skoda Fabia vRS (TDI PD130). Currently running around 190bhp (flywheel) and just over 300lbft (over 400nm) H&R Coilover Suspension...

Hi all you DIY gurus! I'd like to make an RCA switch box to use with my headphone amp, as I have a number of sources that I'd like to switch between. Ideally, it'd have 3 Stereo Phono (RCA) Inputs, 1 Stereo 3.5mm (1/8") Input, 2x Stereo Phono (RCA) Outputs (1 to go to my Headphone Amp, and...

Hi all... This is the only forum I'm a member of that has a large North American population, so I wondered whether some of you guys could clear a couple of things up for me please? First of all... "I could care less". Shouldn't this be "I couldn't care less"? I just can't see how "I could...

Well, after reading up on these Super.Fi 5Pro's I managed to find them for £146.88 Delivered in the UK from www.handheldaudio.co.uk , so I've just ordered a pair in Black. It seems that they will be a better match for the type of music I listen to than the E3C's. (Bass heavy electronica and...

After reading about how good these portable radios are, I managed to get one used for £10 GBP (a little scratched, but works flawlessly). So, I checked out fixup.net and saw the photos of his mods, but the board in my radio looks different to the one in his photos. I suspect these are photos...

I popped in to a pro-audio shop today in Sheffield called "Sound Control" and asked them about USB Audio devices. They tried to sell me an all singing, all dancing thing for £150 that seemed to be much more about inputs than outputs... When I turned my nose up at the price, they showed me an...

I've listened to it about 5 times today! As you'll have probably read, I got a Corda amp from Jan this week and I've been re-listening to a lot of my music through it, and this track just sounds so beautiful!! If anyone else has this track, or can get hold of it, please have a good listen...

Hi everyone I had a bit of a nightmare yesterday with my DT-531's: While listening to Massive Attack's "Protection" album, the bass-heavy tunes were causing some fairly serious vibration sounds inside the right driver on these cans which was really annoying, so, I took the velour pad off...

Aaaargh!! I get my Corda HA1-MK2 today, and was all excited about listening to it... First of all, I tried my Beyer DT-531's, I found that the right hand driver was cracking with basslines, so I took the pads and foam off, to find that a thin paper-like membrane under the foam has split...

OMG! OMG! OMG! I've never been to one of these cimema's before and I've never seen a film in 3D before, so it was a double whammy for me! Did I say OMG!? Hehe... What an experience! I saw Magnificent Desolation :: Walking on the Moon, which is narrated by Tom Hanks, with a number of...

Hi everyone! First off I want to say that I've read the other thread concerning this amp, and I saw that it quickly turned very much Off Topic... I'd like to try to keep this thread On Topic if possible! Basically, I have 2 cMoy amps. One home-made using a Zip-Amp PCB (with a switched Alps...
