Any comments, i am thinking that absolute fidelity is far less important than emotional pull and am looking for your experiences - i listen to vocal music (mostly jazz & blues) thanks d

  Which will provide better sound/drive for the money?  Also can anyone comment on whether or not the iNOVA has a 1/4" or 3.5mm headphone out?  In the pics it looks like 3.5mm, and the specs don't say on any site I've seen.   Also open to suggestions on lower cost DACs, or similar priced...

Hi,   Basically, would it be an upgrade from the PS Audio DL III (Stage IV) to the DAC2?  I do not use the USB and I only use it with my Squeezebox Touch for HD 24/96-192 tracks.   Also, I know the DL III upsamples but does the DAC2 do native with 24/96 and 24/192?   Thanks so much...

Hello everyone,   I have a DA-10 using optical from my MacPro. It sounds good but a bit dark and I would also like a little more energy in my DAC. All of that may sound like I want a colored/coloured DAC - maybe so...     BUT... if the W4S has the same timbre and tone as the DA-10 that...

I am looking to upgrade from my Musical Fidelity M1 DAC A but have not found many options yet.   Quality USB implementation must be a priority on my DAC of choice. I know that there are plenty of expensive DACs out there with poor USB support and still only 16/44.   Volume control is...

Dear all   I have one of those unassuming little widgets by the bame of a Sansa Clip + and wondered what, if any, are the 'best' portable headphones that listeners have synergistically found?   I recently bought the V-Jays with the 40mm driver but find them extremely tizzy far too...

Hey guys :) im having lots of iem's in my collection yet I don't use them most of the time. only pairs I use are the mighty W4's , IE80's ER4's and EX1000's. and I kind of prefer a pretty mid emphasized signature. So the reason I wanna buy e Mid forward amp is that my IE80's mid range seems...
