Iam not sure whether this is the right place for a question like this but does anyone know of a Roon Core solution that is not a PC or Roon’s own server. Iam looking for a cost effective Roon Core that may or may not do forget things like stream, dac etc. I was using a pc for Roon Core but...

We there yet? Seems to be a flooded market for universals but unfortunately the fit is always a little compromised as no two ears are exactly the same. We need to see some mainstream iem manufacturers build some custom ones even if they are similar to the ultimate ear ones which mould the...

Any all-in-one’s to drive easy to drive focal headphones ? Else even a streamer and dac combo will be ok too. As I have the Liquid Gold as a headphone amp. Want something budget to keep cost down, about $500.

I was at a Hifi Show last week and heard a lot of "audiophile" quality music that I didn't know existed. I wanted to know if you had any "well recorded" music playlists that you're keen on sharing helping people discover new music.

I’am current using Grado GT220, I used to have JH13 custom iem many years back. I recently got a Fiio Q11 and am looking to invest in a custom iem but not wanting to spend over $1000 if I can yet beat the sound signature of the JH13. Any recommendations on what I should be researching. Thanks...

I'am looking to buy a few $50 USD and around headphones for the family. Need to be headphones cannot be IEMs Need to be wired cannot be Bluetooth Over Ear preferred but can be on ear. Closed back preferred but can be open back if not too open. Something like the Koss Porta Pros and the Creative...

I didn’t want to post this in the specific headphone threads as the responses would be biased. Transducers: Abyss AB-1266 and Any mid tier Grado preferably RS1 Task: Listen to Baker Street by Gerry Raferty ( Will find it easily on Tidal or Spotify) Listen for the Saxophone, interested to know...

We’re waiting on the Hel2 to be delivered, with its current wait time . I wanted to know what else there is “better?” Or “similar” that I could order. Something that does what the Hel2 will do eg: mic input, volume control etc. One product I found was the Creative G6.

I'am looking to get headphones that I can wear for long durations without having to take them off due to comfort issues. Will be driven by a headphone amp from Schiit , Schiit Hel 2 Budget for Headphones, Less than $5K AUD Will be using them for video conferences so should be cosmetically...

As most of us are either partly or fully working from home, depending on whether you have a lockdown or no. I wanted to know what headphones I could get that are: Excellent Audio Quality for Music Comfortable to wear for over an hour at times Can be run directly via bluetooth or the laptop...

All any advise on what decent 1-2 mts xlr cable there are.Nothing exotic just needs to be faithfully delivering the signal without loss.

I currently have been using an audio HD nfb 27 with my Abyss 1266 http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFB27/NFB27EN.htm I cannot fault the pairing, it’s dead silent to a degree where I can probably hear the singer fart while singing if he actually did. Although I listen to a female...

I keep forgetting my Apple Earbuds at home and hate them as they pop out from my ear, cannot get them to stay in place. I only use them to watch you tube and some music listening on my commute everyday. So wanted to know what decent comfortable pair of Bluetooth in ears there are without...

This might be a bit of a stretch but I will ask anyway. Through your travels have you come across any all in one, and I mean a true all in one balanced headphone amp, dac, wireless streamer that is capable to hold its own against top tier dedicated headphone amps and power hungry headphones like...

The only time I really felt chest thumping bass was listening to the Abyss Headphones. This might be something impossible but has anyone experienced a similar performance from an iem. Keen to be able to experience this on the move as opposed to stuck to a desktop system.

I recently lost one of my jh13’s on the road somewhere. It’s sad but I know need to get something to replace it. I haven’t been following the progress in the IEM world and am looking for some help and recommendations. Just to be clear, I know custom items will cost a lot more and Iam looking...

I need a smallish DAP, with emphasis on sound quality and atleast one micro sd card. Don't need all bells and whistles but excellent sound quality to surpass the sound from the iPhone 6. It will be used at the gym with JH13 CIEM and at other times with Fostex TH00 Budget - Around $500 or...

The time has come to get a HD800 amp that will stay with me for years to come.   Amps to audition:   DNA Stratus Eddie Current Balanced Act Headamp GSX MK II Manley Labs NEO Classic 300b VIVA Egoista Dynahi Micro ZOTL Woo Audio WA 5 LE Cavalli Liquid Gold Cavalli Liquid Glass...

Iam in a bit of a filings. Short is I sold my zx1 as I found the battery to drain quickly when used with the mojo, and usb is not the greatest connection on the mojo. I now need a dap , second hand was looking at the ak100 for about $400 and the iBasso dx50 for about $150. I know the dx50 has...

I visited my  (not so local)  headphone  store over the weekend.  The plan was to try a few closed headphones directly through my Sony ZX1.     First up I tried the Oppo PM3. It was good,  everything sounded just about right,  the bass seemed a little boomy but nothing that would be of...

All, I use jh13 pro, and love the Hiby Player on it. Don't want to spend AK240 price but want similar or better sound quality. Anyone tried this phone with a device that would suit my needs.

All I recently got a pair of Grade PS1000 and am loving the experience. Recently I ordered a new dac from Luxman based of quite a few auditions from different dacs in the market. Now my enquisitiveness has got the top of me and I'am wondering whether I can get the PS1000 to improve even more...

Hi all. I have Grado PS1000 running through Leben CS300X Iam looking for a new DAC, have previously tried the Hugo,audio gd pcm1704 DAC chip based. Please key in what you have tried and would recommend as the most revealing and detailed DAC, without sounding too digital. Also doing DSD would...
