I tried using a USB mini to USB C adapter, and nothing. Can it work? Thanks.

Thanks, all.   I have done a few in EAC, which rips easyily enough, but which isn't the best tag editor or grabber. I'll try dBpoweramp, and see if that makes the process easier.   Or hire some 13 year old - that is a good idea.

I meant a service that you can send your CDs to and get FLAC files back from. I know how to do it - I don't want to do it myself. Thanks. 

The NFL bans all logos on NFL broadcasts, except the ones it approves, so they can tell a sponsor like Bose that they get an exclusive when they buy advertising (which is what providing those headphones is). They don't want players or others undermining their efforts to sell advertising. There...

I have a large-ish CD library from the pre-streaming/pre-iTunes days. I have ripped most of them to various lossy formats. That was time consuming and I don't care to do it again, but would like to have FLAC files of my music. Is there a service that will do this? Would it be cheaper than buying...

I am using a Samsung S5 as the source, Neutron's player. I have Beyerdynamic's DT770 Pro (32 ohm)(my main cans), Grado SR60s, and Westone's single driver in-ears.   Suggest a sub $200 DAC/Amp for me.   Sound is the main goal - features second.   Thanks.

Does the Fiio E18 work with a Samsung S5? I have an S3, but was considering upgrading to a S5.    Does it require a different music music player on the phone?   Thanks.

In other words, do I need a DAC, or will an amp do the trick?

I have a Samsung S3 (soon to upgrade to S5). Would I get more benefit out of a DAC/Amp or would an amp alone give me the same result? The cans I have are Byerdynamic 770 (32 ohm), Grado SR60, and Westone single driver in-ears.   I am using lossy files, but I will upgrade to lossless files.  ...
