Review of the CEntrance HiFi M8 LX LX model = Optical input   The CEntrance HiFi M8 has a lot of connection and feature combinations. This is the LX / XLR version.     What is the CEntrance HiFi M8? The CEntrance HiFi M8 is a DAC+AMP combination, so you cannot use it as an AMP alone. This M8 LX features a USB and an Optical (SPDIF) input, combo toslink/3.5mm audio out jack, 6mm audio out jack and an XLR balanced output connection. It is a portable / transportable unit. It is small enough to carry in a small carrying bag, but to put it in...

Well, not much to say, but it is perfect!   Do you need a cable for your gear, contact them and they will see if they can help. Short, long or custom.   Sys Concept delivers a very good customer guidance and service. Got my cable all the way to Belgium (from Canada) in 6 days.   Contact:       Joseph Kmiec       Sys.

   FIIO X1 DAP world preview tour report By CasperBxl on Head-fi.org   Disclaimer: The unit was made available by FIIO for a review without any expectations or requirements, other than doing a review of the product.   I am not a professional reviewer or a ‘real’ audiophile (whatever that might be). I like good music and good equipment in general and can appreciate things for what they are, in all honesty of what they are.     The short version: The FIIO X1 is a DAP, Digital Audio Player. It is not a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)...

I recently got the AK 100 II after dabbling with a phone based stack.   Alternate setup:     Samsung Galaxy S5     FIIO E18     + PowerAmp Pro (Cost: 2.99€) + iSyncr (Cost: 3.99€) + Stream to Media Devices, BubbleUPNP (Cost: 3.49€)   Sound Quality for this setup is GREAT. Love the E18 and its performance and great sound.     I had bought the E18 so I could combine good music and being on the go with 1 "device". After a couple of weeks, I found that a phone based stack is a bit cumbersome and not very handy.   So, after snooping though...

Hi all,     Cost Clarification:    FIIO E18 on Amazon.fr: 159,00€    FIIO L9 Cable on Amazon.fr: 18,13€     TIP: 1st buy the E18, take it to the Phone shop, try the devices they sell.        Many modern high-end phones support it without extra software, BUT MANY DO NOT support Audio USB OTG!!        Check the list on the FIIO website + try on the phones you would consider.     Kit, so you know where I come from:    Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm    AKG K551 38 Ohm    Pioneer DJE-2000 in-ear's      iPod Classic 160GB      FIIO E18...

Hi all,   I just picked-up a pair of DJE-2000's (they are 30 Ohm) for 299€ in a local shop. I've had them for about 8 hours now ...   Why did I pick-up these ... because they where the only nice, high quality and high-end in-ear phones they had in the shop. (I thought of purchasing the Shure SE535, but no shop had them ... maybe I'll get them later .... any input on that?)     (I'm not an audiophile but I'm looking to build up ....)   Kit, so you know where I come from:    Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm    AKG K551 38 Ohm    iPod...
