Right now I'm using my D6 via USB from my laptop as a DAC outputting to my A5s.  I want to be able to stream iTunes wirelessly through the D6 and into the A5s, so I was thinking about I getting about an Airplay express.  However, I'm not exactly sure how I'd set this up...any help?  My first...

Quote: So it looks my only option is to swap out the amp, bummer the Mad Dogs sound killer out of the D6 when I'm not using the iPod haha!

it's a 2011 15 inch macbook pro, but yeah it sounds wayy better than the iPod

Yes, I am going through the LOD...that's why I'm confused why I'm noticing such a drop in volume/drive  

Hey everybody!   So I've been playing around with my new Mad Dogs and an iBasso D6 w/ Topkit installed.  Everything sounds awesome when I go Laptop -> D6 -> Mad Dogs or Laptop -> D6 --> external speakers.  Super happy, the D6 drives the headphones well and I'm really enjoying what I'm...

Let me know if you want to sell

Quote: Well the auctions on eBay didn't even go up to $169, so it'd be under that but depends on the condition too.  Let me know if you know someone who's willing to sell, we can negotiate

anybody know of one of these for sale???  

Just sent you a PM

I've read good things about the Leckerton too on here, but forgot about it. Price point is similar so it'll come to one of the two. Can Anybody tell me the differences between the op-amps they offer?

alright cool sounding like it's going to be the iBasso D6, hopefully I can find a used one they seem to be much more reasonable going that route.

Quote: BTW I could do this w/ the iBasso right?  Laptop --> iBasso D6 USB DAC --> Aux Out --> Marantz

Just so I know my options, what would you recommend if I had a lower budget?

Got it, I'm still really new to all this glad I'm learning!

Whoops didn't mean to throw you under the bus there Dan! Also op-amp rolling means I could use the iBasso as a DAC w/ my laptop and roll the signal to my marantz pm5003 when I'm at home, right?

Hey guys I'm about to order a set of Mad Dogs and need help selecting a portable amp.   From my posts here I was recommended JDS' O2 amp, which is more in my budget, but less portable (looks rather large).  Dan recommended the iBasso D6, which is more portable and includes a DAC but less in...

how do you guys think the ibasso d6 would do?  I emailed Dan and that's the amp he recommended.  It's less in the budget, but seems more portable than the O2 and it includes a DAC.  I've read good things about the O2, but my only concern is its portability...it looks a little big.  Thoughts?

So no dac out of an iPod/iphone would be ok?

I don't necessarily have a thing for noise canceling the Bose sets were gifts, sound is most important

Does the odac make a big difference or would I be ok with just the o2? Looks like an o2 is the better option compared to a fiio from what I'm reading.

Ahh didnt realize that, so yeah I will definitely need something more portable that wont need to be plugged into a wall. Also how do you guys think the mad dogs would do w/ my marantz pm5003?

Sorry for the repost, but I didn't get too many responses in the recommendations thread...   I've been a silent reader on these forums and am looking for some help as I'm far too confused at this point! I'm looking for a set of headphones within the $300-400 range.  I have a marantz...

Bumping this so it doesn't get lost! Quote:
