With the topping/wim pro plus combo would you still need a balanced dac? Or just xlr to rca adaptators?

Thank you for your suggestion.

Currently using a pair of Sonos speakers (ones) for my home office... I am looking at replacing these with the PMC prodigy1 speakers as these take up a relatively low footprint, really good at nearfield (owing to PMC's origins in the studio market) and produce pretty decent bass. However, I...

Currently using a pair of Sonos speakers (ones) for my PC/office setup... these sound muddy and un-responsive, not only that but they don't link directly to my PC (only able to use via Roon). So therefore I am looking for a reasonably cheap and much better alternative to these. these currently...

found on Amazon - brand new... problem with the WP900's was that they were incredibly hard to find in the UK, which meant buying from abroad, and therefore having to factor in import fees which made them unviable.

so i've finally decided and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd Gen's, hoping that they are going to be turning up tomorrow :-)... a bit of a jump up in class from what i was originally looking at, but not as crazy expensive as the ath-wp900 (sorry, but just could not justify that kind of...

awesome, thanks for this info! both the Topping D50s and SMSL SU-8 are the same price - is there much difference in quality of feartures/performance? If you had to choose between the two which one would you go for??

I am looking to get hold of a music player which can transmit either aptx hd or LDAC (or both!). I have been looking at Astell & Kern players as well as FiiO. (Are there any other makes out there i should be considering?) So far i have looked at FiiO M11 Pro, FiiO M15, and Astell & Kern SR25...

So will the headmaster drive them?

I have a Sugden Bijou headmaster, will it drive my Final D8000 headphones 60 ohm impedance and set at 98db?

I'm looking to get hold of some over ear/on ear (please no ear bud or in-ear suggestions) headphones that are portable (source to be used will be an iPhone 5c) my music of preference is R'N'B, Hip-Hop & Grime, hence the preference for headphones with a bit of punch and bass - budget range =...
