I'm building a mid-tier listening station for my desk at work. Mojo2>Pietus Maximus>Headphone I have plenty of android DAPs I could use to feed the Mojo, but I'm considering a Galaxy tablet I never use for anything else. I'll have a large microSD full of lossless files, some high res, and some...

I'm currently using Emotiva Airmotiv 4s These can buzz with the right amount of bass, and I'm thinking of upgrading. I can go bigger, but not ENORMOUS. I've posted a picture below to see the space I'm working with. The stands can be slide out a few more inches, to make room for slightly larger...

I've been out of the audiophile game for a few years now, and am in the market for a new amp. All my gear is setup for balanced, so I'd prefer the amp to also be fully balanced. It needs to be well suited as a pre-amp for powered monitors, as well. I'm currently using the Topping DX7Pro as my...

You may be thinking, Pinky, you creep, there is already an LS thread over HERE. Indeed there is. @Cinder did a beautiful job providing impressions of an early prototype, but Michael of Lark Studio feels the LSX has evolved dramatically since then, and asked if I would create a fresh page for the...

Hello Head-Fi! @Andykong of Cayin asked your dear old Pinky if I'd like to be a beta tester for their new music player, the N5ii. Naturally, I said yes. I love Cayin products... a lot. So, when I get my hands on the unit, I will share some of that experience with you, here in this thread. This...

Elegant Simplicity – A Review of the DD Audio DXB-04 I just published my review for these cans on THL, and went in search of a dedicated thread, only to find there wasn't one. I feel this must be rectified. :) So here we have an all-purpose discussion and appreciation thread for these...

I'm looking for a small CD Player unit with radio. Like the Bose AWRC-P1. It needs to be simple and elegant for my mother. Any thoughts? Looking to spend around $200. Thanks.

I've been wondering about amps for my Astell&Kern AK120ii. Nothing too powerful. It'll only be asked to drive IEMs or low-impedance cans like my Sennheiser Momentum 2. I don't even need an amp. Everything sounds amazing. But I can't help my curiosity. What could it sound like. You know? Must be...

I'm looking into possible upgrades. Sound improvement through insanely pure copper is not something I believe in. On the other hand, I don't NOT believe either. I have no experience with high-grade cable. So, I'm willing to experiment and see for myself. This is one cable I'm considering. What...

Are there any good carry cases you can recommend? I'm looking for something compact that I'll carry around inside my messenger bag. It needs to have room for some big IEMs (ATH-IM04), spare tips, and some short cables/adapters/USB thumb drives. $30 I should think would be reasonable, yes?

Good evening Head-Fi, you evil, cash-sucking vampires. You've made me do it again and drop $300 on a single piece. I saw the discussion thread on the whole ATH-IM line, and couldn't resist.   I wanted an upgrade to these fabulous Klipsch X7is I've been loving for a few months now. Based on...

I'm looking for something that might lift my Airmotiv 4S speakers off the desk around 6-12 inches. The ability to tilt them would help, but I guess it's not necessary.   I've looked on Amazon and eBay, and almost everything they have are floor stands.   Any thoughts?   This is my setup...

It's already been a wild, rewarding journey with you fine folk. Got myself the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 Plus, with the upgraded Tube and Opamp, running Optical-out of the PC. A pair of Sennheiser HD600s, which are just outstanding.   Now I desire to replace my Logitech Z-2300 2.1 system.  ...

I've been using my Realtek HD on-board, and Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers. I'm ready (or nearly ready) to step it up a few notches. I'm not looking for portable. In fact, a proper desktop box would suit me best.   I'll be running Optical In from the on-board soundcard. It ought to support a...

Greetings,   I am new, as you can see. Been finding these forums quite helpful of late, but now I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to upon searching.   I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). Just yesterday my DragonFly 1.2 USB DAC arrived, along with the micro USB to USB...
