Hey guys,   I have a Little Dot 1+,Which will soon have EF95 Mullard tubes.   What Headphones in the £65-70 range (Uk pounds) would you recommend that would go well with this amp?   Now i know £65-70 isnt much,But really dont want to spend any more than that on Headphones...my...

I am looking for a dac to pair with my Grado Sr325i, AKG K7xx, and Beyer Dynamic DT770 Premium (600hms)   Right now my chain is:   Macbook Air->Little dot i+ and little dot mk iii->headphones   I prefer a USB desktop dac.

Hello this is my first post after lurking for the past few months.   I have been playing with a LD 1+ trying to absorb as much as I can from this and other forums.  I thought I would share some of the things I have learned and some of the mistakes I made so far. My main means of using the...

Hey guys,   I love my fiio e10 but I'm trying to find a slight upgrade to it for around the same price. Is there no point in doing this? Would there not be a discernible upgrade for me to try and get a new DAC for around 100 bucks or? I'm looking at the O2 and the Schiif Modi specifically...

Hey everybody, Just a few days ago I ordered for myself the UE 6000 headphones and they are on there way to me. Now I'm looking for a tube amp which will be connected to my headphones, and sometimes my speakers. Is there a beast like that? I'll connect it to my computer and my record player...

Max budget = £140 Needs to go well with my Headphone amp & sound card = Little Dot 1+ X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Main uses = Music (Spotify) Gaming.   I was recommended Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO Headset - (80 OHM version) as that would go better suited with my amp...any other...

I got the idea I wanted a audiophile quality headphone system when after the second time I equalized my Plantronics 780 headset the audio sounded the best I have ever heard. So I wanted to take this headphone audio listening even further if possible. Consequently I ordered the Little Dot DAC_I...

Hi everyone, I just bought my AKG Q701 and have been looking for tube amp to leverage my gear to fully potential. My budget is not flat and I focus on two affortable tube amps: Little Dot I+ and Bravo Audio Ocean. Does anybody know which tube amp is better and which one I should go with? Any...

I'm thinking about going all out in order to get the best audio experience possible(that my budget allows). I choose the Little Dot I + because it is supposed to pair well with headphones I have,which have a low impedance  the Shure SRH440.   How exactly am I supposed to pair them together...

After some research for TubeAmps that are good for low impedance headphones, I cut down the options to these 3:   Aune T1 - http://www.head-fi.org/t/633006/aune-t1-usb-tube-dac-amp-discussion-thread-see-first-post-for-faq Little Dot I+...

With my cans plugged into my Little Dot I+, I hear a short (~1sec) jitter/static, that repeats every 5-15 seconds or so. My cans are plugged in with no music playing (doesn't matter if the volume knob is up or all the way down). Why is this and any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?  ...

I was considering getting the 150 dollar Little Dot hybrid amp to drive a pair of Beyer DT880 Pros and also the AKG K240 MKIIs, but I saw the specs which said the Little Dot drives up to 300 ohm headphones. Since the K240s are notoriously power hungry, does the Little Dot have enough power to...

  I’m new to Head Fi. I’ve been doing some reading and have auditioned headphones. I've ordered a Grado i225.   I've narrowed my amp choices between the Fiio 17 and a Little Dot 1 . So, I'm trying to decide if I want to start out with a desk amp, a portable or both . But, I’m definitely...

  Ok, I'm looking for suggestions for a Headphone rig (desktop) to listen to music. I'm mostly into Jazz, R&B, Rock, Metal, pretty much anything that doesn't involve Hip Hop (dunno why I loathe it, but I do).  So, the sound signature has to be awesome with Acoustic, voices, and instruments.  I...

Hey guys, Having an issue with my Little Dot 1+,Brilliant Amp...bought it used but in excellent condition and worked fine up until yesterday. My headphones started making a popping and loud static noise (not playing music or anything),At first i thought it might be my Headphones dying..I...

Hey guys,   Buying a turn table shortly and am trying to figure out the set up I'm going to get with it. Was wondering if I could use my tube amp (little dot 1+) as an amp for my turn table. I saw a guy use his woo headphone amp as an amp on youtube and was wondering if i could possibly do...

I will be purchasing a AKG Q701 ( or similar) but I think this headphone needs an amp.   The headphone + Amp will be used for 2 channel music and for Movies ( late evening use ) . My primary listening method  is still speakers.   2 channel music is mostly classical and some jazz (...

After reluctantly buying into audiophilia, I noticed the difference. My ears are untrained and insensitive, but I hear the tightness of quality audio nonetheless.   I am looking into four headphone amp solutions. Two contain DACs, two are standard amps.   I have two high quality CD...

Hi everyone!   I'd really like to try out a tube amp - just to get a feel for it. I dont want to spend loads of money. I cant seem to find new forums on "affordable" tube amps. I'm looking at the LD 1+... but it has been on the market for quite some time. Any other recommendations? I'll...

using shr940 on desktop, has right now E10 + BB cMoy really like (and always using) the Bass-Boost feature...   listening to  Classical Alt. rock Electronic (new-age, chill-out, etc..)   what would you do ?   thanks! /Eyal.

I just recently bought my first high quality headphones, Grado Sr 80i. I am so impressed and I love the soundstage and I think that the treble which some people complain about being to sharp is perfect. However, although not a bass head i would like to increase the bass on the Grados with out...

More specifically, I'm just looking to weigh as many options for a new amp as possible. Of course I'm not asking anyone here to list every amp in the world in that range, but hopefully a brief list with reputable/popular amps. Tube or SS is no difference to me, since I will most likely end up...

Hi all.  I am somewhat of a newbie.  Here’s my questions.  Hope you can help.   I grew up in the 70’s.  I remember my father had a tube amped stereo he built in the 60’s.  Great mellow sound.  In my teens I acquired my own hi-fi equipment.   Of course, everything was solid state.  I remember...

Hi,   I have used solid-state amps (Lovely Cube, Audio-gd Roc, etc) with low-impedance cans like K701, and now, I'm trying to go into the tube amp world. Crack OTL looks good and budget but it doesn't seems to be for me because most cans I have are low-impedance.   Could you head-fiers...
