I’m looking for a player that can record digital files through toslink or usb. I found the iRiver ihp120/140 but it has been discontinued for 20 years and finding a reliable used sample proves to be difficult. I also looked at the Zoom and Roland recorders but they only provide analog in...

http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality   Got this test online, and I gotta say, I am horrible at this.   I first used the direct computer audio out from my Dell to a BA200, I can't tell a difference one way or the other.   Then I used...

I have been enjoying the ALO Rx MKII for about 3 years, and it is finally dying on me.   While I sent an email to ALO asking them if the issue could be fixed (and how much), I am also looking at this as a chance to switch to another amp.   I have always enjoyed the cleanliness of the...

After looking around for a solutions to connecting a network enabled device to a USB DAC, I have narrowed it down to the following setup:   Netbook with iTunes --> Stoner Acoustic UD100 --> Amp --> Headphones.   I am using an external harddrive (non network) connected to a MacMini, and...

I have been looking at the Wadia 170i and the Onkyo ND-S1, but unfortunately, neither of them has a USB output.   Is there an iDevice transport that will take an iDevice as an input, and has USB output?   Also, what are the differences between iTransports?  I have read that the Wadia...

I have owned the ALO RX MKII for a while, and I still love them.  However, they seem to not have a huge following, and is routinely being skipped over in discussions about the best, or even better, portable amps.   They sound fantastic to my hears, with a hint of emphasis on the bass.  It...

I already own a set of orthodynamics (modded T50RPs) and love the smoothness of them, as well as a set of dynamic headphones (woodied magnum v3), and love the punch and attack of them, so I am looking into the third technology, the electrostatics.   I listen mostly to rock (grunge, classic...

Are they any good for the price?   I have been looking at these tube headphone amps on ebay the last little while, and they usually come in a few flavours, ranging from $50 to $150.   Have anybody tried them, and what are the impressions on them?  I am particularly interested in the...

I currently found a few good deals on solid copper wires and teflon sleeves, and I am looking to give a little back to the community.  I have soldered quite a few interconnects for myself, and sold a couple here for $40 each (it costs me a lot because I wasn't buying in bulk), but I have never...

I am recently contemplating downgrading from my ALO RX MKII.  I love that amp, but am always wondering if I necessarily need an amp of this level.  I am looking at the JDSlabs C421, and the O2 amp right now.  Does anybody have any experience with all three of these amps, or have any suggestions...

My W3 right earpiece is lately coming on and off, and it turns out the cable seems to breaking right before it enters the earpiece.   I am not really looking into a cable upgrade, but is looking to just simply fixing the cables themselves.   I have seen prices from $150 to about $500 for...

I recently got the ALO RX MKII (just paid, waiting restlessly), and am thinking of having a nice full-size pair of cans for them.   I am looking primarily to have this for home use (getting a portable amp so that I can roam from room to room), so size of the headphone is not a huge concern...

I am in the process of getting a good quality mini->mini cable for my iPod-->amp setup, and have realized that those cables are just too expensive.  I am looking at cables that are between $150 to $250, and I just could justify that (plus I don't have the $ for it). Instead, I am thinking DIY...

Hi all: I just received my first headphone amp yesterday in the mail. It's a DIY CMOY amp that was nice and cheap. The sole reason for getting this amp was because I was so satisfied with my W3, I was interested in seeing how the sound could be further improved. In case you are...

I just recently lost my e4c (it really hurts), and I have been using bad quality phones for the last 2 weeks, it is literally torture, enough for me to dish out more $ to get a new pair. My friend is recommending UM2s, but I was in love with my e4c. I really loved the clear mid and high...
