Is a 5V 2amp wall charger okay to use in the US?
Yes, that will be betterIs 2.4amp better?
I made a post somewhere regarding the differences between them all, but I forgot where it is. However, the fun is better when you discover it yourself
Hello
I'm looking for suggestions.
For weeks I've been reading this thread and the thread on the Onkyo DP-X1
I'd like to replace my main audio system with a portable system. This is part of my plan to simplify my life.
Half of my music is classical. The rest is jazz from 1960s and vocal/folk. Very little rock or pop. I'm not a bass head. I've never gotten into streaming. My music collection are CDs ripped to uncompressed FLAC.
I'd like a system that can reproduce the beauty of chamber music, the live experience of symphonic and the intimacy of close-miked live vocals. Although I appreciate the pleasure of picking out details in music, I don't need to dissect the music. I'm not a musician or recording engineer.
My main system was optimized for low noise floor, neutrality and clarity. (You can see it here at the Audiogon site. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6085)
I would need at least two headphones: An over-the-ear for most of my listening and an In-ear for those times when I'm on the go. I would never use this at work nor would I use this when I'm in the gym. I do like to walk and would use this system then. Most of the time I'd be listening to this around the house with over-the-ear headphones; Moving to different rooms reading, cooking, etc.
At one time, I had a good tabletop headphone amp from Woo Audio (WA22) but I sold it. I'm too restless to be tethered to a desktop amp. I can't sit still. If I'm going to use headphone, I need a portable system.
I'd like to hear any suggestions you have. If I manage to sell my main system, I think I could swing a budget as high as $8,000 USA for the complete portable system.
First of all, moving away from speakers into headphones is not a good idea, unless you adopt into high-end segment. Then to just totally be portable with it is even worse. However, the best so far I have had is Utopia and WM1Z ATM. There are huge differences between my Stax system vs my portable system . May want to really think back about your options
