I have a kindle fire 10hd and installed foobar/wavelet (all files resampled to 48Hz in realtime by foobar) to play music. I use mainly lossless files and a dac dongle, i am pleasantly surprised at the SQ, the soudstage is larger than through my n3pro. Any thoughts, i did it simply to have one...

I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this, i am using a pee52 (a&k) and it seems to run down the battery on my kindle fire much more rapidly than the headphone out? thanks d

I have used this for some time (believing it worked) but still found my laptop usb to my irdac2 flat and without the life or vibrancy or vinyl. I took the jitterbug out of circuit and the sound became much more lifelike and vibrant and listenable. I wonder if there was a conflict with my kimber...

Hi i am wondering if there is a headphone that is superior to the hd650 for vocal music (jazz, folk etc.) in terms of emotion, expressiveness and intimacy or the hd650 still the ultimate? d

I know this has been asked many times over the years but there does not seem to be any after-market pads that sound the same as the sennheiser ones and last longer, i seem to be getting through pads every 18 months (more or less daily use for an hour or so) and am looking for ones that sound the...

Hi i wonder what is the optimal volume out for the usb c output to the chord mojo? thanks d

Hi i want a pair of wired over ear headphones that are noise cancelling. I am not interested in bluetooth. I would like them to sound similar to the hd650 or oppo pm3, SQ is my paramount consideration along with good noise cancellation. Any suggestions?

Hi, i am looking for a headphone (preferably closed) that can be easily driven from the headphone socket of a kindle fire. Currently i use hd25 or momentum but both are almost at max volume fro my kindle fire. Any ideas d

Hi i am running a usb dongle (veclan odessey hd) from my kindle fire and wonder if there is another dongle which will have less battery drain? I alos have access to a A&K pee51 d

I have a pair of hd650, oppo pm3 and meze 99 all of which i enjoy, however for vocal music (jazz, folk, country, blues) i find the hd650 the best (imo). What i am asking are there any headphones that surpass the hd650 for this kind of listening, either open or closed, portable or not. Any...

Hi i am trying to find a usb/dac that is battery driven and has a good 3.5mm single ended output to drive full size headphones (low impedance eg oppo pm3/momentum 2 wired/meze 99). I want to use it from a tablet (usb c/android) and want battery powered and reasonably small. Any ideas (smaller...

These do not seem to be available from sennheiser (only m3 ones which apparently sound different) - has anyone found an after-market set of earpads which fit and retain the original sound (preferably available in the uk) thanks david

I wondered what headphones/iems work best with the asgaard, obviously a matter of personal opinion but i would be interested in what users think d

hi, i am looking for a cheapish dap with the ability to download apps from google play (for audiobooks) and a 3.5mm output (all my headphones are single-ended). If it had usb or (better) coax out so i can use it as a transport that would be good but not essential Any ideas? thanks d

Hi i have a cayin n3pro and love the sound of valves but want a solid state dap with as analogue sound as possible ie like valves. Any ideas (cheaper the better) thanks d

Hi i am trying to source double or triple flange eartips for my ie200 as i find that these fit my ears best, i also use etymotic triple flanges but these are to marrow to fit the sennheisers any ideas? d

i am trying to find a closed headphone and iem as similar to the hd650 as possible in terms of enveloping, immersive and organic sound. It must provide good isolation and not leak. Any ideas? thanks d

I need a cheap but well made and reliable portable transport (can be dap or phone) for my mojo, preferably coax but usb will be ok. Any experiences would be interesting and helpful.

I want a dap with the following attributes to use with my chord mojo (original) 1. coax 2. replay gain 3. can play all of an artists songs together (randomly) 4. longish battery life 5. smallish to fit on top of the mojo (so i ca still easily access the controls on the mojo Any ideas? d

I have a irdac2, schiit asgaard 3 and oppo pm3, the overall sound from cd and usb sounds flat and nothing like as listenable compared to vinyl? I bought the amp and dac as they were supposed to sound close to tube/analogue but (imo) sound uninspired - is it just me? d

Hi i use musicbee and fidelizer (free) and i wondered if there was a better sounding player for audio using win10 and outputting to an external dac (irdac2) using a laptop (8gb ram/1tb drive) Any thoughts?

I am in agreement with this comment. After having read and posting on head-fi for some years, i am becoming aware of the need for many contributors to chase the new and often high-end as the holy grail. This is inevitable (I guess) as a result of human nature but not necessarily healthy and...

I am interested if anyone has experience using a powerpack to replace the battery (battery removed) as it seems to have the advantages of lasting longer. Please share any experiences and identify the make/model of the powerpack The one concern i have is that reading the reviews of powerpacks...

My battery has failed and i found it works well using usb power from a laptop (i only use easy to drive headphones) What i wondered is if there is a suitable high powered portable battery pack (available in the UK) i could use instead of the laptop. thanks d

Hi i love my oppo pm3 and want to know if there is a headphone or possibly iem that is as near as possible to the oppo pm3 sound (and available in the UK) thanks d
