    Comment by 'c3po' in item 'Sineaptic SE-1'

    That's how i prefer to drive my Sineaptic via the 3.5mm connection, bluetooth just doesn't seem to get loud enough. I must admit despite all the criticisms around the design and poor clamping, i am really enjoying the sound out of these headphones ( Radiance, Sundara, Hedd 1 user). I have the...

    I think AudioCast is based on LinkPlay technology same as WiiM, Arylic, SongBird and Octavia amongst a whole bunch of others. It probably needs updated as WiiM is leading the way in LinkPlay technology and capturing marketshare.

    CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread

    I think Hedd are on to a winner here, i have the original Hedd's as my daily use headphone, weight hasn't bothered me but from multiple reviews it has put off a lot of listeners without them getting a chance to really appreciate the Hedd's. Another complaint was the 'Crinkle' when moving your...

    CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread

    I kind of got what Rob was talking about here, he himself admits that a signal at -300 dB should not be audible but i believe what he was meaning was the not the actual sound level was audible but the effect at that level was audible in the perception of depth and positioning, not volume. I...

    It is, sounds great, much lighter and better headphone attachment giving a superior variable support. I think they should do well as the biggest criticism on the old Hedd was the weight, that’s no longer an issue. High-end: Chord Dave + M Scaler --> Primavera tube amp --> I agree absolutely...

    In Regard to the HEDD 'Crinkle'; I've had a pair for about 9 months now and the only crinkle I get is when putting them on/taking off. I can sit with them on for hours at a time every day, leaning over my computer, turning around to adjust the amp, looking up and around searching for stuff and...

    Yes good solution if you have chromecast but until they release a new one we need a bunch of alternative options. I hear that new hi res chromecast is being talked about. Currently I have attached my phonostage output to my Arylic analog input, it then digitises it as 16/44.1 and streams it to...

    It will be interesting to see if this new chromecast audio device actually appears. Strange that they pulled out of Audio Streaming when it was gaining favour. It’s a bit like Logitech dropping the squeezebox.

    Are you talking about the Chromecast being a convenience solution? The Arylic Up2Stream HD Dac is very much a Hifi/ Audiophile device with its handling of 192/24 bit streams, the other Arylic devices handle 192/24 but downsize to 44.1/16 so you could say that even CD players aren’t Audiophile...

    Streaming My Vinyl Collection: Arylic Up2Stream Pro V3

    I have experience with a couple of Arylic Up2Stream devices; the S10, the Mini V3 and recently the HD DAC and I’ve been very impressed with the sound quality, the versatility and functionality and price of these little devices. I even bought a few S10’s to give to the family to encourage their...
