    Occupy White Walls - open alpha impressios

    Hello fellow audiophiles, I came across this game a few weeks back through a random youtube video and it has grabbed my attention enough that I’ve been playing it pretty often since then. It’s called Occupy White Walls and the devs call it a “PC sandbox, building, A.I. driven MMO where you play...

    Whats the point behind fancy balanced IC cables? Not a DBT question

    Hi There, I have seen the power of cable in my '2 channels' system. (have Nordost blue heaven power cables, and Tonshend Isolda Speaker cables as well as their Balanced fractal ICs).    I may need another set of balanced IC - when the new Schiit Freya comes out.  I understand how with single...

    Thinking of a dedicated mains line for my Hifi set up - what best?

    Hello,  I need some more power sockets in my Hifi room and though about getting an electrician to put a new mains line from the house's main distribution box to the room. I'm based in the UK so we may have weird regulations about power.    How it's best to achieve this? A ring? Spur? Should I...

    Hello People, I'm looking for an Amp to use between my Yggy and my headphones the open back HD700 (150 Ohm) and the B&O H6 (34 Ohm). I'm mainly looking to hear the Yggy in all it's glory, it's currently driving my speaker system (ML Electrocution ESLs).   I have a preference for Schiit amps...

    Moving on from the AKG K551...? B&O H6?

    Hello, I had the K551 for several years now and I love them, especially for traveling, they sounds great comfy and easy to drive from an iPhone. I'm familiar with high end headphones (my other pair is an HD700 + Hugo) - but they are not practical when traveling...   A good friend who had the...

    Any Raspberry Pi alternatives to Jriver?

    Hello people, I've been using Jriver for a while now and while its good, I'm disappointed with their attitude towards their paying customers, lack of proper dither and apparent focus on 'photo sharing'...   Are there any good quality players that work on RPI? Volumino and Roon don't do...

    Getting a Linear PSU for RPi, Router?

    Hello, I have a speaker system driver by an RPI running Jriver 20 on it and connected via optical to a Chord Hugo and then power and and B&W CM10 speakers.    I wonder if replacing the stock RPI PSU with a proper leaner PSU would help SQ wise? Because I'm connecting the RPI to the DAC via...

    AKG Y50 - is a Schiit Stack an over kill?

    Hello, I'm thinking of getting my young nephew a Schiit stack (Magni 2 or perhaps a Valli and a Modi 2), but his current HP are the AKG Y50 - talented but can they really show the potential of the Schiit?   The Y50 impedance is 32 and it's currently being used mainly with a  laptop and an...

    Which PCI sound card that supports 88.2Khz Optical out?

    Hello, I'm building a dedicated hifi media box and looking for a sound card tag can output 88.2/176Khz via optical out - apparently the onboard to slink on my Gigabyte Mobo doesn't do it...   Ideally I'd love to have an ASIO driver if possible.    Thanks in advance!

    Do Jriver effects (Volume, crossfeed) negativly impact sound quality?

    Hello, I'm using Jriver connected to a Chord Hugo and then a pair of HD700   My understanding is that because JRivers' DSP effects are 'in the digital domain' they don't negatively impact sound quality, even is something like volume normalization makes the music sound quieter and so I need to...

    HD600 vs HD700 for electronic music - with Chord Hugo amp/DAC?

    Hello People, I have the HD600 and like them but want more detail and I got a great offer on a pair of HD700. I'm mainly into electronic music but also Rock and Jazz. I'm not a 'Bass head' and prefer accurate, natural sound.  I'll pair these with a Chord Hugo Amp/Dac and most of my music is...
