Just delete this if we already have one - search never seems to give me what I'm looking for. Personally, I like the looks - just need to hear the thing ...   http://www.whathifi.com/news/cambridge-audio-expands-dac-range-with-wireless-dacmagic-plus     * A reworked USB input that...

Although I consider myself an audiophile, I am new to the headphone game.  My current systems consists of a Classe' CAP 151 integrated amp, a Cambridge Audio DACMagic D/A converter being fed lossless files from my Macbook laptop, Revel M20 stand mounted monitors and a Sony XDRF-HD1 tuner.  ...

So I am buying a Rega RP1 soon, and I was wanting to go with the Cambridge Audio Azur 640p to go with it, but the guy I am buying it from is recommending "the Tonar" (didnt give me a model #) for 50 bucks less.   Any thoughts? 50 bucks is nothing to me, and ive been looking up the 640p for a...

  To Start…   There are a lot of amps out there that use exotic topologies and expensive parts.  Even “budget” amplifiers try to get in on this game.  Too often, that practice fails and you end up with a “transparent” amp that is anything but.  Or an amp is made that trades reliability for...

Id like to have some USB DAC recommendation. As I have powerful amp with punchy headphone, I want a neutral DAC. Also, good jitter handling is a high priority for me. How's little dot DAC 1 or Pico? Is there a better one with more recent chips? My price point is $300 or lower.

Hello all.  I've got a great setup and I'd hate to ruin it with a shoddy pair of cans.  My Sennheisers died so I'm hoping you can help.   I consider myself an audiophile but I don't have hundreds of dollars for a real quality pair of headphones.  I'm looking for the best value for around...

I made a little box with 2 headphone cables coming out of it with standard 1/4" phone plugs on them, a DPDT switch, and a single female headphone jack.   This allows me to directly compare 2 different amps with the flip of the switch.   The headphone cables I used are pedestrian, just...

Hi all,   I recently purchased the senn hd 650's and i've been rather  pleased with them, but i do find them a little dark. I had heard about the sennheiser veil, but now i kinda understand what people were talking about. I just modded them with the defoaming procedure and it somewhat...

I dunno much about the balanced connection but sounds pretty interesting. Price is an important factor in my future purchase so i decided on these components :   Cambridge audio DACmagic Little dot MK VII Sennheiser hd 650 with balanced cables   My question is if this is a good...

Hi there,   It's been a while (admittedly) since I've listened to my records. The problem was that my old stylus broke while I was moving rooms in the house, and I hadn't gotten around to replacing it until now (Some 2-3 months later)   Anyway, I'm going from the N97xE for my M97xE to...

Hi, I have been listening to music via headphones for years, have a Rotel amp which gives me very nice sound, an ancient pair of KEF speakers, as well as an old Luxman turntable and a Cambridge CD player.   I recently bought a pair of Shure SRH 840s, I like the sound of the 840s now that...

Now, we need a thread discussing which integrated sound good, and what characteristics they have! I think we should start a non-dedicated amp appreciation thread, where people can post what non-dedicateds they've used. Well, two requests anyway. In any case a thread (which should be made a...

I am recently thinking upgrade my source components. But I am getting confused with a middle level CD player (like cambrighe 840c) or a decent DAC (like DACMagic or even a Benchmark DAC-1) plus a consumer level  CD or DVD player(like sony or LG etc.) with digtal output as a CD transporter.  ...

Hey,   Hoping to get some opinions.   I'm after a midrange to high-end DAC in the vein of the Lavry DA10/11, Audio GD Ref 5, Grace M902 etc etc.   Anyone have any experience with the Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CDP as a DAC? Cab the DAC compete with these other DACs mentioned?  ...

So, I'm considering a new CDP for my set up. I still use CDs for much of my listening and would like to get a good player that should give me many years of enjoyment. I've been making do with a Cambridge 640C V2 for a while now as I upgraded everything around it but now it is time for it to be...

Hi everyone,   I currently own the following equipment:   Technics SL-1200MKII -> Shure M97xE -> Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Pre-Amp -> Woo Audio 6 w/ PDPS -> HD650s or Technics SL-1200MKII -> Shure M97xE -> Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Pre-Amp -> M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 -> Audioengine...

I have been using my NAD T 585 universal player for about a year now.  I have been very happy with its detailed and musical sound as well as its ability to play a wide range of disk formats.  It has made me wonder why they still make standalone CD players which only play one format.  I would...

couldnt find much with the search any ideas?   the alo audio wooden one looks awesome,    thanks

I'm looking to upgrade my current speaker setup (Altec Lansing ADA305's) that the right speaker has a short in it. So I've been looking to upgrade my setup, I am looking to spend under $300.   Speakers I've looked at:   POLK AUDIO TSi 200 Swan D1080 08's   I think if I was to get...

Has anyone got this? How does it sound etc. been considering some chinese computer solutions this being one of them. the others were the Zero Dac and the mini USB Dac + Headphone Amp Mk2. anyone recommend any of them over the monitor? this is the musiland item btw USB Digital Sound Card...

Ok so I've had my Sennheiser 595's for a few years now, and I'm looking at going up a level. I'm after something with excellent bass reproduction (these lack bass :(), and something that gives the most authentic, true sound possible for my price tag. :) I invested in a Cambridge Audio Azur 340A...
