Just thought it was time for an updated pole

I have seen comparisons of the N5ii to the R6 but I have not been able to find direct comparisons of the XDP300R to either of newer units Does anyone out there have any experience in direct comparisons of the newer units to the XDR300R? Thanks

I am about to purchase my first DAP (probably a N5ii but also considering the R6) and then I read/watch this... https://darko.audio/2018/03/the-dap-days-are-over-part-1-xiaomi-audioquest/ I would love to start a conversation discussing those that agree and those that disagree and why

I’m in the market for a DAP I currently use my iPhone w DFR or iFi Nano BL but I find it annoying because notifications interrupt music and bulk of having other devices connected to my phone. I am hoping to use a DAP for music only and then be able to use phone unhindered. I am looking for...

Where can I go to try out some IEM's? After reading multiple reviews here, there are many different IEM's I would love to try out for comfort and sound. How do you guys check out IEM's before you buy them? Or do you buy them and return them if not to your liking? Thanks in advance

First post I just bought a pair of ATH IM02's..: I love them. Clear, crisp, decent base, very comfortable I also had a pair of Jaybird X2 but my dog ate them (no joke). I just ordered the X3's for replacement to exercise with I was wondering, what's the best sounding in-ear Bluetooth headset...
