    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    I'm moving on. This site has been a good resource over the years for new buyers and people wanting to discuss technicalities. Seems a lot of the 2000s "internet heyday" is over with and now we have a lot of hi-fi scams going on with person-to-person sales (I was recently scammed on a sale). Have...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Interesting world music album. Gave it a listen couple days ago on my living room system. Now in the office for a more detailed listen. Eversolo A6 XLR Output > SMSL HO200 > DCA Aeon RT CB (balanced)

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer/DAC

    Took your advice and cancelled Roon. In fact I sort of reorganized all my digital subscriptions. The internal player on the A6 does most of what I need. Roon was redundant. Just wish the Qobuz A6 app had drill down capabilities where you can click on an artist name on a playing track and get...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Took a break for a while from music. Over the holidays I went through the Pat Metheny, Coltrane and Thelonious Monk catalogs on my iPhone connected to a pair of Thie Audio Legacy 4s. Starting to like IEMs for playback. Moved back yesterday to albums through my A6 and living room stereo system...

    Advice needed - Wireless headphones within 700 USD.

    Have heard good things about the Bathys. Not sure how they would be for movies.

    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    Will this work with my iphone 12 running Roon connected to a lightning to USB-C adapter? Just curious if it's even compatible with iOS. Any specific playback software needed on my iphone? I'm currently using my DCA Aeon 2 CB via a Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm cable. If I get the RU7 will the volume...

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer/DAC

    Well personally I experimented with the A6 with and without roon. It was too difficult to use the Qobuz internal app on the iphone cast screen where I just gave up and went back to Roon. Plus there's Roon ARC which means I can access my NAS outside of the house through Roon. Some people only...

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer/DAC

    The playback screen is customizable and it will show the album art and track details if that's the option you chose in settings. The play/pause next/back buttons are always displayed on the right side of the screen. Roon configuration will take a controller app which the A6 cannot access, it's...

    DAC/AMP or Dongle DAC Suggestions for Sundara($200 or less)

    I would pass on the DX3 Pro+ I had one and immediately returned it because it sounded so bad.

    So there is Tidal connect and then the built-in Tidal app in the Streaming area. Try A/B testing.

    Dud or am I a duffus? HD650's catastrophic failure to impress...

    Personally I owned the 660S and found it rather bland. Midrange was good and detail was moderate. Their tuning is what people either like or dislike. Personally I would recommend the Sundara over the 6-series. Plus the 660S was rather uncomfortable with the fact that the cup connectors extend...
