    Marantz HD- DAC1 vs Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies (HD800S)

    Just purchased the HD800S and I am torn between these two amp/dac combos. I own a FiiO E17K at the moment, but I do not think it will be enough to drive the HD800S. What are your suggestions for me?

    I'm looking to buy a pair of Ortofon e-Q5 earphones; I've owned these previously, and they're my favourite go-to IEMs for general use. Having never owned an amp or DAC before, I'm curious if either would improve the performance of these IEMs. Here are the specs for the Ortofon e-Q5: Audio...

    Hi. I am in the market for a good turntable. I see on ebay that there are used Marantz turntables from the 70's that are not too expensive. Yes, they are also not cheap either. Around a couple hundred dollars. Are these Marantz turntables considered to be worthy? The current turntable...

    Best vintage Marantz receivers?

    I'm looking to get a vintage Marantz receiver. Thus far I've read (in another forum) that any 22xx models are well regarded. Does anyone have anything to add to that, or possibly disagree with that? What are the most recommended, or respected, models for amp quality, all vintage models...

    integrated amp and/or stereo receiver as headphone amp

    I'm getting ready to buy a new integrated amp or a stereo receiver and I'd like to get one that will do a good job of driving my Beyer DT 880 (250 ohms) without having to buy a separate headphone amp.  I'm considering the NAD 326bee, the Cambridge 550A, the Marantz PM5004, and the Marantz...

    AKG K501.

    Got some AKG K501 headphones.   Nice sounding headphones, a bit gentle sounding. The bass is a bit light, but enough.   At the moment my old Marantz 1040 is driving the K501s.   Later I will try the K501s with the Heed CanAmp.   Regards.

    Best bassboost amps in 120$ range?

    I ordered my XB1000s which should arrive in 2 weeks. I want to get the most of it so I would like to know my choices. I've been looking iBasso T3/4 and digiZoid ZO (I'd wait for the 2nd gen). I really like the 32 levels of boost in ZO and I was wondering will iBassos be able to match it/overcome it?

    Hi. Thought I'd start a list for those who would like to purchase an amp that can double as stereo amp as well as a headphone amp. Many people (I know I was one of them) want to plunge into a proper 2-channel speaker-based set-up, but find the prices of loudspeaker systems to be daunting. I...
