I just purchased a iBasso DX300 MAX SS (currently at NPAudio for the new EXN2 mod) which I will plan to use around the house and for travel. I may be interesting in the iem market again, I have been quite on and off between portable hifi audio and home desktop audio but I'm looking at the...

Hello being new to the DCC world, I'm wondering if anyone knows any great DCC options out there? My DAC is the Gustard X26 Pro and I have seen many reviews that praise the effects of a proper DCC 10Mhz Reclocker in support of the Gustard. Not to mention I'm hooked into the Gustard through USB...

I saw a Audio 64 U12T listing on Classified Fields and I paid the person $1000 Paypal F&F based on his account being a long time member since 2007 but after sending the payment I got no replay back in PM and I realize his last posts were in 2011. It appears that his account maybe got hacked by...

Hello, I'm gonna buy a pair of Audio64 U12T soon, I have decided to return back to portable audio and I'm looking for decent cable recommendations preferable something with silver wire in a respectable gauge but still doesn't cost more than $500. For the U12T it has to be 2-pin and 4.4mm...

Hello, I'm looking for a decent DAC+AMP stack, anyone know a good setup that has MQA decoding and DSD512 support? I used to have the iFi iDSD Pro stack but I sold it as I needed emergency funds, I'm now looking for a similar sounding setup that doesn't color the sound too much. Looking to...

edit: Sorry if this is a repost but this should be the proper section for this thread. For those of you who didn't know, you can access HeadFi on your smart phone more easier by "creating" the app button on Google Chrome app. Simply use the Google Chrome app, go to the HeadFi website and then...

Has anyone here ever taken crypto wallet to wallet payments for audio gear?

Alright, this is a strange question but is there a way to use my T-Mobile SIM card with any DAP via USB or something. I'm sure most DAPs aren't gonna have built in SIM Card readers but is there an external usb SIM Card reader that I can just someone plug into a DAP via USB-C? Asking this because...

Any here figured out how to hook up the PS5 to your external DAC yet? Apparently you can't do it through USB becuase the PS5 doesn't support UAC2. There also isn't a optical port on the PS5 that you could take advantage of, anyone figured out a workaround yet? I have the ifi PRO dac/amp and it...

Hello, exploring options for another DAP to drive full sized headphones. I already have a M15 which drives most of my headphones decently but I'm looking for something even more powerful. I love using the Fiio M15 with my IEMs. For those who have tried both DAPs, Which DAP is more powerful...

Hello, any suggestions for an external DAC? I have a Jotunheim 2 in black from Schiit that is excellent but I'm looking for something better than the built in AK card module that I can pair with my Jotunheim 2 balanced. I planned to do a Schiit stack with Bifrost 2 or Gugnir but I realize they...

Hello, so I just recieved my beautiful black Jotunheim 2 headphone amp today. I chose the additional AK DAC built into the AMP. Eager to listen through the amp, I quickly set everythign up and plugged my headphones in, I listened to the first track on my computer, the first 3-4 seconds sounded...

Hello, I'm a complete newbie to configuring/setup of DAC/AMPs and I'm wondering how to use different devices as sources. Lets say I purchased a Schiit Jotunheim 2 DAC/AMP with the AK DAC module. I have a Fiio M15 DAP and my Dell Laptop. To use either my Laptop (with music stored locally) or...

Hello, I'm not too familiar to the full sized headphones world and I'm looking to see if any of you have any headphone recommendations on a pair of cans that have decent/great resolution overall but without the Upper-Mids shrill that I heard from the Focal Clears I tested? My primary source...

I don't want to dive in too much into the controversy of whether or not "Burn In" of source devices or DACs can yield audible differences or not but I'm gonna say I believe that it does makes a difference to my ears personally. I've always wondered if I could "Burn In" a DAP by just playing...

Ok, so I have the Meze Rai Penta, I really love this IEM, it has that full bodied balanced sound and neutral tuning and doesn't really focus on specific areas of the frequency. The treble at the 8k mark or so is a bit recessed to make long hours listening non fatiguing. I was wondering if y'all...

Hey folks, so I have tried several IEMs recently, Campfire Audio Solaris SE, Audio 64 U18 and others. I finally decided that I wanted a IEM with a very neutral and reference tuning. Do you guys have any recommendations? I'm looking to spend $1000-$1800 So far I have heard people mentioning...

Hello everyone, I like my Oppo PM3 headphones and run them balanced through my Lotoo DAP, however I really prefer the portability and comfort of IEMs as prolonged headphone use can be limiting and sometimes fatiguing. I have been looking around in the internet for audiophile IEMs and I have...
