Price drop

It is yes!

Selling my Lyr+, in great condition. Purchased about a year ago and it’s just not being used enough to justify holding onto it. Moving back to portables. I have two extra after market tubes that are amazing, one is a GE JAN tube, the other a great Soviet tube. Happy to sell those as well...

Selling my Modi Multibit 2, great little DAC but I’m not using the desktop setup as much as I thought I would. Purchased less than a year ago. Also have a Lyr+ with two additional and phenomenal vintage tubes for 550 GBP.

Nice, how low is too low?

For me its the USB latency, it seems to have significantly more latency than other devices. Anyone have any tips?

Selling a barely used Schiit Vali 2++ with some nice tubes to play around with. Selling to upgrade to the Lyr. The stock tube has only been used once. I’ve been switching between an RCA tube and a Soviet Reflektor tube. Both will be included in price, as well as a second unmarked USSR tube that...

Morning, as mentioned in the description -- London

FiiO BTA30 Pro, purchased earlier this year before offloading a pair of Bluetooth headphones I was using at my desk. I have barely used this, so it’s like new. Original packaging, etc. PayPal only, will ship anywhere in the UK. Meet up in London possible.

PSA: Loving the RS2 but running it with Meze 109 Pros, so went playing with amplifiers. Can't see myself ever running a portable amp with it, since I'm happy enough with the performace to walk around the house with the RS2 running the 109s...but I just introduced a Schiit Vali 2++ into the mix...

Excellent condition RS2, purchased from an online store in the UK last month. Comes with original packaging and accessories. One minor scuff on the bottom by the USB-C port. Otherwise minimal signs of use. Will ship anywhere in the UK and can entertain EU as well. If you’re in London, in...

Re-teathering, so no longer needed. Purchased from Amazon in late Jan/early Feb. PayPal only, will ship anywhere in the UK. Also can do a meet up along the district line in West London.

Bowing to the inevitable and admitting I don’t need these. Purchased direct from B&W when they went on sale in September. I’ve not used them much since, they’ve never left the house and are presented in an excellent condition with no issues to report whatsoever. Comes with original box and...

He’s the pauper of the surf

Hey everyone, Begrudgingly selling this wonderful dongle DAC, which inspired me to try an R2R DAP that has since quickly replaced any use case I have for this dongle. I purchased it from Amazon 2 months ago, along with the official Cayin Lighting cable (it’s the only lighting cable that...

Very cool even! I’ve been desperate for something that allows me to have a low latency option when using my computer and PX7. So if this is what’s happening, it’s a huge pro for the PI7 if you’re a PX7 owner on the fence. Of course I’d vastly prefer if B&W just added AptX LL to the PX7 in a FW...

From the PI7 manual: https://www.bowerswilkins.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/PI7-Manual_7.pdf "8.3 Pairing Secondary/Subsequent Headphone (ONLY Bowers & Wilkins) to the case for media streaming"

If I am not mistaken, the PI7 case will only connect with B&W headphones, so actually the AptX Adaptive thing makes total sense. Especially if its defaulting to the lowest latency setting within the adaptive framework. Edit: and yes, they have AptX LL on the PI7 but not the PX7. I take it you...

As I mentioned above, the PX7 does not support AptX LL, so the PI7 case cannot be making a connection with the PX7 over AptX LL. The only way the PX7 would receive a low latency anything from the PI7 case is if they were communicating with AptX Adaptive.

From B&W support: "The PX7 when paired with the PI7 case will use APTX Adaptive for the Bluetooth codex." So, the PI7 case also appears to be the first AptX Adaptive transmitter on the market. This is a huge plus for me, a PX7 owner.

AptX Adaptive is not AptX LL.

Interesting. But the PX7, at least currently, does not support AptX LL and is advertised and shown in the PI7 manual as being able to connect to the PI7 case when in retransmission mode. So unless the case, in this particular use scenario, starts putting out standard AptX or AptX HD, I don't see...

Adaptive from the case bridge would make more sense than LL because it can transmit to the PX7, which does not support LL, but does support adaptive.

I would buy this yes, I'd throw in 50mm drivers as well. If something like this happened I think we can thank Apple for provoking B&W into doing it.

Just did my second ever transatlantic with these yesterday and I have to say I’ve never been able to actually enjoy music on a plane (so much as use music to drown out noise and pass time) before owning the PX7. Still of the opinion that the PX7 is a real winner in the ANC over ear category.
