    ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |

    Yes, I’m using the onkyo music player app. OS is 5.1.1. Tried the settings and search for external devices but no luck. Tried other streaming apps and no joy.

    London Head-Fi Meet April 2013

    Quote: Sweet! I am gutted that I missed the meet. No one would cover my weekend on-call shift :( On the bright side, the shift provided me the last bit of savings needed to spend on audio goodies! I wanted to do a test between the Invicta and HDVD800. Ive already decided to buy the HD800...

    Nice deal on B&W P5. Should I go for it?

    I auditioned them and they sounded much much better than the P3 or 451. They are giving me a 5 year warranty on em too!

    First audiophile experience

    Question: the bottlead's being shipped. I have a generic auxilliary cable. Any idea what cables i'd need to run from my source to the crack? Also, ive ordered the O2Dac+amp so what cable would i need to run from source to DAC?

    First audiophile experience

    There is bass but it's impact is very very low. My macbook pro is the 2009 version. Anyway, im still waiting on the amps. I'll put in a good amount of hours listening to various tracks till the amps arrive. Then I should be able to hear the difference an amp makes with my headphone. The Crack...

    First audiophile experience

    Thats great to know :) I can't wait for epiphany and Bottlehead to ship my stuff to me! Im loving my headphones and the overall jump in sound quality and comfort(I don't know if its a psychological thing but i think the sound is getting better with every listening session). I never really liked...

    First audiophile experience

    Anyone think if I dont find the sound awesome un-amped, there wont be much difference to me when amped? After a lot of listening to music downloaded from hdtracks, I find the unamped quality good but not quite upto the hd-650 hype which I believe is when paired with the right amp. I cant really...

    Headphone pairing with Bottlehead Crack w/Speedball upgrade

    Hi Chris!   Yes, soon as I saw the Bottlehead deal, I went for it. I love DIY and im not that bad with a soldering iron. Plus a lot of DIYers say the step-by-step manual with the bottlehead is amazing. Im thinking of the Sennheiser HD 650 as it's from £275 pounds on amazon vs Beyerdynamic...
