Here is my current build in progress,         Its a Raven 234 Acro quad that I will be fitting an FPV pod to for first person view (FPV) flying via a video transmitter, video receiver and Headplay HD goggles.   It will look like a more compact version of this without the mobius cam on...

After reading a few posts on here fairly recently where some listeners are pretty sure that music on their devices onboard memory sounds better than from external memory (SD card etc)  Im wondering if there is something in it. Although unscientific and open to the power of suggestion, I thought...

I had an old Audigy 2ZS which I recently replaced with a SB X-FI, (kindly given to me by a friend).   Initially I was very pleased with the results, well from the speakers at least.... Cleaner, smoother, sweeter and more dynamic. However... I can't understand why my TF10 iems now do not sound...

Was thinking about making my own interconnect the other day using solid silver or silver coated OFC copper wire + audio grade 5% silver solder and it got me wondering about using two Neutrick or Oyaide L shaped 3.5mm jacks and sourcing a suitable knurled shiny SS or alloy tube, cut it to the...

I'd been reasonably happy with the bitperfect sound from jriver through my pioneer stereo amp until I compared it to that from my Samsung Galaxy 4.2 dap using Neutron. Kit Jriver on PC with old sb030 Audigy 2 zs card- line level analogue out to pioneer seperates amp to classic pioneer 3 way...

Was looking at the HiFimediy Sabre USB DAC2 desktop unit but was wondering if there are any opinions on the new compact HiFimediy Sabre U2 yet?

I thought it might be worth starting a thread on Gaming consoles, gaming PC's and accessories for them, What do you have? Pros and Cons? Any bargains to be had out there?   I'll start the ball rolling with my most recent purchase from Ebay... these excellent Fullview3D Dual play gaming...

Is it better to risk buying a more bassy earphone such as the Heir 5ai over the Heir 4ai because you can EQ the bass down on the 5ai and suffer from less distortion than you would get vs increasing the bass on the 4ai?   Or is my thinking flawed and simply having the EQ even switched on at...

I found this on the net, so true!.. but which category would you admit to fitting into?     I think I'm part 'technical' and part 'subjective'..... probably currently more the latter as I seek to learn more about the technical side.   There's a sub-context which seems to hint that...

I've been reading this section of the forum with great interest and want to buy my first portable amp. I had been considering the C&C BH or F1 but would also consider spending much more to get a really good amp that I'd hopefully never feel the need to upgrade from and that would save me money...

Had never heard of this stuff before, well I had but had always thought it was just velcro, judging from the vid it looks so much better than any other method of attaching your player to an amp.. almost snap fit!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHrMR3RKVAs       Or are there still...

NVIDIA revealed a new handheld game console last night, to be sold under its own branding; the NVIDIA Project Shield. The portable console looks like an oversized console control pad, however a lid flips up on the top to reveal a 5-inch HD ready screen. The new handheld is powered by NVIDIA’s...

I was looking for a cheap Ipod dock and came across these clearance line Creative X-docks selling very cheap on Ebay. The point that caught my eye and interested me was... Docking Station with DTS Interactive technology converts Xtreme Fidelity surround to DTS 5.1 for single cable...

I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_portable_media_players on Wiki but its not very complete.. there must be something better out there surely?

A few of you may have heard of the Sony PSP clone the PXP-900. The specs dont stack up particularly well against the more modern handhelds but it its audio circuitry is rumoured to have been specced and designed by none other than Wu-Tang Kwan, the audio engineer responsible for the multi award...

Just for anyone out there that is considering the Xperia T as a worthy DAP source, I can confirm that its is actually pretty good. It's slightly behind the S3 in some audio SQ parameters such as stereo crosstalk when the earphones are plugged but overall its getting good audio reviews that I can...

This is a true story of what happened today..   I live in South Ayrshire right out in the sticks. A guy in a purple Fiesta with a smashed in front end came flying up my drive this morning, skidded to a halt, stones flying everywhere.. that pissed me off a bit. He was in his early thirties...

I had my first introduction to the UE TF10's last week and imediately went and bought a pair.. They are my first pair of BA iem's and I have been totally blown away by their awsomeness.. Im well and truely hooked... wow.. just wow!   There seems to be a slight rattle or vibration from my...
