    RSE Tube Headphone Amplifier

    Hello, Just wanted to give some attention to a new headphone amp by a Ukrainian company called RSE. I bought some pro audio gear from Roman (RSE) and he has since become a friend of mine. I have not tried this headphone amp, but the impedance matching selector I find most interesting. I can...

    Are all HD downloads of the same title the same?

    If one see's HDTracks selling an album, say Michael Jackson's Off The Wall in 24/96, will this be the exact same download as Off The Wall in 24/96 from another company such as Qobuz.com? Will the same master have been used etc?   Obviously, this question is not just with reference to Off The...

    Alternative to Filo E10K?

    Hi   I am looking for a USB DAC/Headphone amp for around £100 ($175). My requirements are that it is a noticeable improvement over the 2010 Macbook Pro's own headphone output. I need it to be buss powered as this is for both making and listening to music when away from home etc. 24/96 is good...

    Anyone tried the AUNE X6 or S1 high res music players?

    These look very interesting. Was thinking of getting a USB to SPDIF converter to use with my laptop, but a music player would be more to my liking.   The X6 is about £100 less than the S1, but wonder if it sounds as good? The company claim it offers master quality playback.

    Anyone tried either Matrix X-SPDIF or Yulong U18 USB-SPDIF converters?

    I know the U18 uses the 'problematic' TE8802L chip, but have the drivers been sorted out yet? I know the company provides drivers. The Matrix would not require any drivers, as I'm on OSX. I want the ability to play 24/192 files, that is why I am looking at these. I would be going into my Denon...

    G&W TW-J9 Headphone amp. 1st impressions

    Hi Folks Just got my first ever dedicated headphone amp. I've not connected to a decent source yet, done much listening or burnt it in for long, so it's a bit unfair to say how it sounds right now, but I will say that it works with both my Sennheiser HD485's and 600 Ohm Beyer DT770 Pro's...
