Hi and thanks for taking the time to reply. I get what you are saying about people who are happy with their product not going online complaining. While this, imho, will definitely apply to a majority of commercial products in general, I'm not quite so sure this is true of a niche product like...

Hi and thanks for the reply. In your experience, does the WiFi work fine if you only stream Spotify and USB disc files in standard resolution? I'm not thinking of hirez since I've tried some and couldn't see/hear any benefits. Cheers Ivan

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of getting a iFi zen stream to place in my headphone system. I've gone through another discussion forum and came across a number of issues with the device, network drop outs, instability etc. Its been quite some time since the streamer was released. Have most of the...

Hi everyone. Has anyone used the Modi 2 uber as a DAC to improve on Chromecast Audio' s DAC? If so, has there been a noticeable increase in SQ? Thanks for answering

Hi and a Happy New Year to everyone. I need a competent DAC to use with the Chromecast Audio and my iFi iDAC headphone amp. I have been following this thread and I wonder, since I don´t need the headamp part of the S2 and, besides, need to drive my 600ohm DT 880 anyway, would the Project DAC...

The problem is that as you get older and your hearing gets inevitably worse, you are hard-pressed to discern any difference between a well recorded high bit rate mp3 (or even ogg, for that matter) and a CD quality track. This has been covered a zillion times. So I wouldn't be surprised if...

Oh dear me, how on earth have you accumulated so much gear . Sounds overwhelming and overcomplicated for my needs! ☺️ I just want to keep things as simple as possible. Kind of along the lines of the simplicity of CCA. So in my scenario I basically just stream Spotify Premium and my own flac...

Seems like this thread is long dead. But I'll give it a go anyway. Has anyone been using the Pioneer with the Chromecast Audio and it's optical in? If yes, how does it sound? Thanks a bunch to anyone willing to respond,

Hi. I am using Spotify Premium mostly, but stream also flac music off my server. I might have done the testing using uncompressed music, don't remember, really, so you might be right. As for the mid-bass increase, I might not be that much of a discerning listener, or it might be the rather bass...

Hi. I am thinking about getting the Oppo as a DAC to use with chromecast audio and ifi iCan. I'd like to ask: is there even an optical in on the Oppo? Can't find this info anywhere. And if yes, is anyone using Chromecast Audio to stream through the Oppo? If yes, is there a substantial...

I haven't tried going all the way to 6db, but I am extremely excited about this new feature ( it's been a long time coming) which finally gives me enough bass for my DT880 600ohm. I actually find the bass rather good, definitely not distorted in my setup and on my phones.

Grüß Gott☺️ and thanks for taking the time to reply. I and quite a number of CCA users don't subscribe to your and Darko' s point of view, though. To me, just like to many people on various forums this cheap little thing sounds ' hifi' enough even in direct comparison with much more expensive...

Hi everyone. I am thinking about getting the Mojo and using it as an outboard DAC and/or headamp. I have an Ifi iCan I have been using with the DT880 600ohm feeding it from Chromecast Audio and its internal DAC. I have recently tested the Schiit Modi Multibit as a external DAC, however, I didn't...

Hi. Seems to me from reading many different impression write-ups like somehow the Sennheiser house sound and the Beyer house sound are coming closer and closer☺️. As a DT 880 owner I am currently sitting on the fence about the next upgrade : Should I pick up the 660S to get a taste of the...

Thanks guys.

Hi there, I'm now in the position of picking up the Amiron at a substantial discount. I currently own the DT880 600ohm. Would this be a worthy upgrade? Thanks for any feedback, Ivan

Thanks a lot for this description, sounds exactly like what I probably wanted to hear. ☺️

Thanks for the suggestion, have never heard an AKG phones in my life. I will look at them. Cheers

Hi everyone, Sorry if I'm going to ask about what might have been discussed here before, but has anyone got the Beyerdynamic Amiron Home? I have been happy with the DT 880, but like quite a few of you find them lacking in bass volume, even with the bass boost feature on on my ifi iCan. The...

Thanks for the reply. I mentioned in my comment I also used my own music to stream into Chromecast Audio. I didn't say, however, that music was in flac. I would've thought, though, that even with mp3 stream (320kb/s ogg in this case) the difference in SQ would be really substantial. Cheers, Ivan

Hi everyone, I have long been looking for an affordable, yet high quality DAC to use with my chromecast audio to feed my own music and/or stream Spotify into the iFi iCan. I had bought, tested and returned a Shiit Modi Multibit DAC since I hadn't honestly perceived a change in SQ, listening...

Thanks a lot, almarti. Happy listening in whatever scenario you'll be using with CCA. Cheers. ☺️

Hi and thanks a lot for your very quick and useful comments and suggestions. I basically mostly use CCA to feed my DT 800 600ohm through ifi iCan headamp. I guess I might appreciate the addition of an external DAC despite these 57 old ears. I have used the coax digital output on my Fiio X5 to...

Hi everyone. I'd like to ask those who have been using CA with an external DAC about the increase in sound quality. I know there are many different Dacs, hence different results in SQ. Yet I'd be interested to know generally if there is any point in getting a DAC. I personally plan on picking up...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have tried all of them, and but to no avail. Turns out it's a hardware limitation of the Fiio - just read it on Fiio.net. Too bad. Thanks anyway, Ivan
