Sound Blaster X5
I'm curious about this device. It seems you can connect it directly to an analogue amp via RCA ports or even Toslink. Is it possible to stream audio from a USB hardisk and control it via an Android or iphone?- Headmusic

Echobox Audio Explorer impressions and discussion thread
does anyone have a 'tear down' video of this device. The headphone jack of mine broke, and I gave it to a dodgy Chinese iphone repaired who seems to have broken the connection between motherboard and touch screen. I need to see how i can fix the ribbon thread that connects the two. It's a great...- Headmusic

The Pono Player Impressions Thread
I'm am a bit saddened the the PONO is no more..regardless, it is part of my Hifi setup and I play it directly into my PrimaLuna tube amp and get a lovely 'musical' and 'warm' sound, it is like an old turntable.... The only complain I have at this point is it's nearly impossible to copy file...- Headmusic

I’m quite enjoying the posts in this thread, but i am confident i will get my Seiun player some time around 2019. I just love the updates Seiun provide, its quite obvious this project is some Chinese nerd who probably gambles too much and watches too many C_pop videos, but at least they have...- Headmusic

It's a shame the Pono was constructed to be so disposable and redundant so quickly. I keep hearing the Neil Young song 'piece of crap' in my head.. I really like the voicing of the unit and the fact Ayre put in those 'mojo' type electronics, but crap, the battery and internal storage are already...- Headmusic
