    DAP with a USB input?

    Is there a DAP with a USB input (SSD or portable HD)?  I did some searching but couldn't find one, so thought I would ask this group.  When I travel for long periods of time I would prefer to bring a larger library of music with me.

    Need help, narrowed down to Audioquest Nighthawk and Sennheiser HD 700

    Both are in my price range and I can't decide.  I own 7500+ CDs with some in almost all genres, my favorite styles right now are Americana, bluegrass, blues and indie folk, but I still listen to a lot of progressive rock and fusion jazz.   My main set up uses a Woo Audio WA2 and my bedroom set...

    What headphones work best with the WA2

    Everyone asks what amp with this or that headphone, I want to go the other way.  I have a WA2 and want to know what headphones work best with it.    I listen to almost everything except for straight ahead rap and AM radio country.   Like to get both closed and open can recommendations

    Watching TV on a PC

    Anyone know how this is done - every search I do comes up with some S/W for sale, that most of the reviews say is bogus and you only get obscure religious and/or foreign stations.   I'm in temporary housing for a while and I'd like to watch just normal broadcast TV on my computer since my TV...

    Perhaps i should know, but I don't

    I'm thinking about getting a headphone amp, but want to be able to easily select between it and speakers. I have amp(s), preamp and CD Player in my set up now. Can I connect things such that I can switch between speakers and headphone without having to change cables?

    Albums vs songs

    Is there a way to import entire albums as a whole, instead of as a set of individual songs? I use an iPod classic and in many cases would like to listen to the whole album/cd without breaks between songs and in the order in which it was released.

    Help with Itunes uploads

    I can't seem to find the right setting for my Ipod classic. I don't need the best SQ, just something decent for casual listening. I upload music from CDs and it seems that there are way too many errors and lots of the songs I upload have errors in them. I've used the error correction in the...

    Most comfortable pads for Grado

    Just got a pair of MS2i's and not liking the bowls or flats. Are the 414 pads more comfortable or do I have to go to C-Pads to get true comfort? If I go to C-Pads does the sound change?

    Ayreon - good for the long haul

    I just recently bought Ayreon's Into the Electric Castle and I really like it on phones, but was wondering if it is too "over the top" and pretentious to last. Any long time Ayreon fans who listen on a regular basis? Or is this stuff way cool at first and then easily put aside

    hook up question from NOOB

    This may be a simple/stupid question, so go easy on me. I have a CDP, pre-amp and power amp along with speakers. If I wanted to use a headphone amp, how would I hook it up? Presumably the CDP goes direct to the headphone amp, and the headphone amp goes to the pre-amp or perhaps direct to...
