There doesn't seem to be much discussion about this product; searching on Google leads to one discussion on ASR and another on Reddit, both with not much discourse so I thought I'd put down my initial impressions here for the benefit of those who are looking to use it as DAP. Starting with...

I just got a QED uPlay Plus Stereo Bluetooth Receiver, and noted that its power supply is rated 5V 800mA. Most USB power, from wall chargers, car chargers and power banks, however, are rated 5V 1A, so I wonder if it is safe to use those to power the uPlay Plus?   Thanks in advance!

Apologies if this has been covered before, as I have been doing a bit of searching and apparently, the only game in town is the Fiio L5?   Are there really no other options? I'm hoping for ones where the attached cable comes out from the side, or one that provides a female 1/8" plug instead?

Does anyone know if the PS Vita Slim works with any USB DACs, including Sony's own PHA-2?   Thanks in advance.

A bit of an odd request....   My current laptop doesn't have much capacity (320gb 7mm drive), so I don't keep my full music collection on it. At home it's connected to a docking station containing a larger hard drive.   So all my FLACs are on the docking station. I transcode them into...

Between these three headphones -- Beyerdynamic DT1350, Audio Technica ESW9 and ES10 -- which do you reckon would last the longest in hot southeast asian climate?

I'm currently using ChronoSync on my MacBook Pro.   Compared to SyncBackSE and MS SyncToy on my Windows machines, ChronoSync is very slow and starting to become very annoying. Comparing over 200,000 files takes over 2 hours even when there are no changes to synchronize. On the PC, if there...

As the thread title says. Just curious....

Has anyone directly compared the coaxial SPDIF output of the uDac or uDac-2 to other dedicated USB-SPDIF bridges like the Hiface or Halide Design Bridge?

Just out of curiosity... but with so many DACs also doubling as pre-amps, I wonder why there aren't any headphone power amps? Surely it would make sense for someone to build one, or at the very least offer pre-amp inputs that bypasses the volume pot?   Side note: I guess the Fiio E3...

One of my audio setups involves feeding the output of an Edirol FA-66 to one of my amps -- either a Cambridge Audio Azur 340A integrated amp or an Onkyo TX-SR502 receiver via its balanced outputs to the amp's RCA inputs.   One significant thing that I am hearing is more bass output from the...

I see this amp available at CryoParts and ALO Audio, but no mention about it at all on Head-Fi. So...   ...Any owners?   ...And how does it compare with other 9V battery amps (RSA Hornet, RSA SR-71, iBasso D4, Graham Slee Voyager, etc)?

Ok, there's probably a bit of overlap with the other bag-fi threads here, but I figured it's interesting enough to start on.   Someone at some other forum that I can't remember (DPReview, probably) once said that you can never have too many camera bags. I sort of agree -- different bags are...

Hi,   I'm thinking of making a cable to connect a pair of RCA outputs into a single 1/4" or 1/8" TRS stereo plug.   I read somewhere (but unfortunately can't recall exactly *where*) that simply just combining the two grounds from the RCA plugs isn't a good idea as it would introduce some...

Hi,   Long time reader, first time poster here.   I'm currently using the FA-66 as my DAC+headamp via my computer's firewire interface. However, I'm looking at more portable options on machines without firewire port (e.g. my Fujitsu U2010 UMPC or other source with optical out).  ...
