I have a FiiO E17 that has been pretty decent for this purpose using with a OTG cable and Galaxy S4 but the headphone jack on it is having problems after it fell out and I had to glue it back in so I'm thinking it mught be time for an upgrade. Can anyone recommend something decent in the sub...

Not sure if this belongs here or in the music forum but since it includes film, animation, and music I thought I'd start here and let the mods sort out the rest. I used to work for The Walt Disney Company (many years ago, prior to all the Pixar stuff), and have always had a passion for the...

After trying both the UE900 and Shure SE535 I'm yet to be satisfied searching for a fun universal IEM. The PS500 has a big fun factor, great in rendering vocals ( I use reversed bowls) and in an IEM that is what I want. Balance is for quite listening time, energy and fun factor is where it is at...

I've been using the LCD-2 rev2 with a Lyr (Lorenz tubes) and bifrost (recent) for about a year as my only real headphones. I've owned the HD800's in the past and really enjoyed them for the level of detail, soundstage, and space. I've kept the LCD-2 so long because they have great emotion...

I recently stumbled upon this little gem from Dublin and have had her most recent album in constant rotation lately. For those of you that picked up the recent Jeff Beck Les Paul tribute she is on that dvd/bluray as well. Great great music and highly recommended for any fans of the Rockabilly...

I'm going to make every effort to stretch my budget enough to afford a fine dac in this price range and have somewhat narrowed it down to the Isabellina or Cary Xciter. This will be for use with my Concerto and LCD-2 (and eventually some D7000) and will also be used at home between a Oppo bdp-93...

Let me start by saying that this was my first hybrid amp that I've spent any time with but I was able to squeeze into the loaner program to grab some listening time with my gear (Thanks Todd!).   I used a variety of tracks ranging from 96/24 FLAC all the way down to Apple 256. I used both...

Ok, now that I've sold off some stuff I am ready to take the plunge and drop $700 (or less) on a SS amp for my APS V3 D5000 and K702 (forthcoming). I will eventually add a couple more headphones to the mix but for now I want to focus on an amp that I know will perform above its price point and...

Been a while since I've posted in this forum and if this is not the right place (mods) please feel free to redirect. My wife is due with our second child in July and we are turning the office into the new baby's room. We have a Gateway desktop PC (tower + small monitor) and a macbook laptop...

I know the Nuforce HDP is a pretty new product but I am looking at a transportable desktop dac solution and wanted to know if anyone has heard both what the SQ differences are between the v-dac and dac section of the HDP. thanks

I ordered a pair of PK1's about 6 months ago. I've used them very little but kept them in the black tube case in my backpack. The right driver went out and I contacted head-direct about it. They were quick to respond and advise my of the 1yr replacement warranty. I sent them in in the black tube...

Yes, I'm an 80's movie superfreak and I'm super stoked to have met the great Dan Aykroyd tonight at BevMo in Walnut Creek, CA. He was signing bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka as well as other memorabilia so of course I had him sign my copy of Ghostbusters and a copy of The Great Outdoors for my...

The world lost a great man today with the passing of John Hughes who died of a heart attack at age 59. For those who may know the name but not the works let me start by saying that this man WAS the 80's! He defined the culture of an entire decade with movies that are certainly in just about...

So, this is the official grill recipe thread, Here in the states we are gearing up for the 4th o July holiday to celebrate our Independence. Tonight we made some chicken wings and had a glaze with Pineapple pure puree, honey, garlic, 2 red peppers, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, and cilantro...

I was fortunate enough to have one of these little beasts loaned to me and have been listening to it for a couple days now trying to form some opinions. I've been away from headfi for almost a year during which time I've been using my Pico as my only amp/source and my D5000 or UE-11's. When...

The title say's exactly what I was thinking while paralyzed by what I was hearing Friday night. Pink Martini and the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall were simply stunning and unlike anything I've ever heard. I've never been to a show like this but my wife and I were both...

I didn't find a thread like this and thought that those of us that double as HT geeks would enjoy having it here. this is not gear related as we will be discussin the merritt of PQ/AQ of current, upcoming, or past titles. Only rules are a that debates should be done in a polite manor ad let's...

Just wanted some feedback from anyone using this combo. Does your Touch or iPhone stay connected pretty well or are you having to re-enter IP info and re-connect. Any issues with the network and internet radio? If there are any Sonos users that can chime in on why it would be worth 2x+ the...

I keep catching this Kaiser Permanente on TV and the music sounds so familar but I just can't place it. Anyone know who this is?

My wife and I have a fairly basic Gateway that we bought about 3 years ago or so. Yesterday it would not come on, I turned it on and the Gateway logo flashed for a sec and then the screen went dark. I tried escape, enter, ctrl+alt+del but nothing seemed to work. There was also a noise coming...

I came accross this Hilary Hahn video of her doing Milstein's Paganiniana at the Verbier Festival in 2007. I have a couple of her albums but would really like to have the one that this is on, can anyone tell me which one it is or where I can download? Thanks

I'm probably going to sell my PS-1's to fund some new gun purchases (still debating) and wanted to ask for some input from 1911 and AR owners. I shot my first 1911 over the weekend and am leaning towards getting a Springfield Operator. I've also been considering a SW1911 DK Sku# 108287 and...

I'm looking to make my first step into the 1911 world and have been doing a lot of digging. I've heard almost nothing negative about the work Bob is doing at Fusion Firearms . I'm going to the range tomorrow to rent a few... probably Kimber, Springfield, and maybe a S&W but I sure am interested...

Addison Jane was born Sunday at 4:42 A.M., weighing 6lbs .06oz, and measuring 18 1/2 inches long. She was in a breech (butt down)) position so we had a C-section scheduled for Tues but she decided to come early. Both mom and her are doing great! I wont be on headfi much over the next week or so...
