Interesting video. Testing starts at 18.20 in.

Mine are still going strong and have sold many more recent amps in favour of the HeadRoom Ultra Micro Amp/DAC stack. Admittedly, I don't carry these around with me unless I go travelling for a while but I still love the sound, especially now paired with a Schiit Loki.

Anyone else had problems contacting Schiit Audio? I sent them an email on Sunday and still have had no response. Sent two follow up emails on Tuesday and Wednesday.. no response. Pinged Jason a PM to see if he could check for me. No response to PM..

I came into this hobby 20 years ago and spent many an hour on this site chatting about equipment. In 2009 our son came along and my priorities changed and so I took a break from everything for nearly a decade, although I still ran a nice speaker system. Forward wind to 2021 and lockdown and I...

Just tried to access the site and doesn't seem to exist anymore and no mention on here for some years. I've been away from it all for some years and just wondered where it went, if anyone knows?

I wanted some small speaker stands to elevate my Bose Music Monitors but for the life of me I couldn't find any small enough so I decided to make a pair. Two 2" x 4" x 100mm solid aluminium billets did the job nicely with 4 rubber feet per stand and a rubber pad along the top. They work well...

Gooday folks! I've been away from these forums for the last 6 years but still loving my audio!! I'm still using my much adored HeadRoom Ultra Micro Amp & DAC combo. My Ray Samuels Hornet I let go a while ago, still preferring the synergy of the HeadRoom combo, altho this is really a desktop...

I've been mulling this desktop computer setup for a while now and finally decided to make it happen.. and it's far, far better than I'd imagined. Sometimes audio separates just synchronise very well together and this is one of those setups. Audio chemistry, I like to call it.   The Goal My...

I just bought this bag and it's absolutely superb. I won't bother doing a full review as there are plenty already out there. Here's one, for example:   http://milspecmonkey.com/weargear/packsbags/368-511-rush-moab-6   This bag, however, has a little secret that makes it the perfect small...

As much as I love the portable rigs on here with the rubber bands and bright colours, I do have to keep in mind that, in the business environment within which I operate, I'd look like a bit of a plonker with such a rig sat upon my desk. So is it possible to have a great sounding rig that also...

I've spent the last few weeks trying to figure out the best iPad 4 Retina with lightning connector solution for those of us who travel, need the internet but also want some seriously good sound on the go. I don't have time to reformat this article right now but for those interested in a...

Rather pleased with this little portable rig! The iPad is with me pretty much everywhere I go, anyways so bringing along the Predator and the IE8s isn't much of a chore. Bit of a pain having to have both the CCK and the T3 Hub but hey ho.. Running AIFFs this little rig sounds pretty good!!  ...

I put this here as my rig is mostly portable and this is maybe more relavent here..    My question is: "What are your goals when putting together a good portable rig?"   This hobby can confuse people and quickly muddy their goals. They go from newbies wanting to get a decent sounding rig...

This is not an Apple product but it was sold with the light up Apple logo and caused quite a stir on it's release. Apple made a fuss, of course, and the new ones are sold without the logo but it seems there are still many sellers selling the logo'd stock. I just picked one up to test with my...

OK, tip for anyone who uses a Predator Amp on the go. I just tried an old leather sheath I had in a drawer from an HTC Touch Pro (the original, not the v2). It fits the Predator like a glove!! It is absolutely mm perfect height and width. Length-wise it leaves about 3/4" either end which is just...

It's been a while now since I treated myself to a new amp (last time was an HR Micro Amp and Micro DAC when the v2 first came out, which I still have) but this morning this little beauty arrived on my doorstep! And doesn't she sound good from the LO of my iPad 4, straight out of the box!! Can't...

Guys, I know this has been covered in other threads but most that I can find are older threads and I'm pretty sure things have moved along since those. I've just picked up a new set of IE8s which will be paired with my RSA Predator via audio out from the iPad when I'm travelling. I'd like to...

Has anyone managed to use the Elephant Candy EQu with music files saved to GoodReader on iPad? Or is there a better solution for saving music files directly on your iPad (as opposed to cloud) which does allow the use of EQu? Any help would be most appreciated. Google has not been my friend on...
