    Portable Headphones to match with Fiio X3ii

    So, I'm not new to this but I haven't been immersed in headphones/head-fi for the last few years. I recently needed to update my mobile rig and ended up with a Fiio X3ii. I'm happy with the sound with my Shure SE535 IEMs on the go but sometimes I just don't want to put in IEMs. I saw the...

    Font that includes Headphone symbol?

    I'm not sure the proper forum to ask this but the Head-fi community seems like the place to ask. This relates to a portable audio device so I dropped it here: I have a friend who is building a portable audio device. He's looking for a font that includes a headphone symbol. Anyone know of one...

    Shopping for a DAP

    The battery on my X5 is beginning to fade to nothing. It still works fine plugged into it's cradle on my office PC so I may just let it become a non-portable DAP. But I need to replace it for portable use. Anything else out there I should consider - something with a replaceable battery would be...

    Can't quite pull the trigger on Apogee MiniDac...

    I'm almost convinced to buy the Apogee MiniDac. I'd like an upgraded source. The MiniDac would easily move between home and office and I could use it from my office computer, home computer and connected off my SqueezeBox on my "big" stereo. But I can't quite decide if it's worth the price...

    What do I give up with the MicroDAC?

    I'm starting to lust for a DAC, preferably one with USB connectivity. The Headroom MicroDAC is enticing because of it's pricepoint. But I don't want to buy something and then have the urge to upgrade right away. So I'm also looking at something like the Apogee MiniDAC. Can someone who has heard...

    Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp USB?

    I just saw a review that included the Lehmann Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp. I didn't know much about that amp so I was poking around with searches and saw some mentions of an upcoming version to include a USB connected DAC. Anyone know anything about Lehmann's progress on this? I'm looking...
