Just got a pair of ATH M-50's to use for portable audio and I am trying to work out if its best I just use the internal DAC and run a mini-jack out to something like a Fiio E12 or should I get a combined amp/dac that is compatible with the S3?   I hear the DAC is fairly good in the S3 (I...

Hey guys,   Looking for something fairly cheap and effective to boost the performance of my S3 using a pair of ATH M-50s.   Any suggestions that work would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi all,   I have a problem with a second hand Meier amp I just received and wanted to post up and see if anyone could help. I plugged the amp in this evening and it fired up as expected, however when I plugged a set of headphones in I found that there was no sound coming through.   After...

I have done a fair bit of reading on here of late and I see that the general consensus is that the T1's pair very well with tube amps such as the WA2 and WA6SE etc. I have never owned a tube amp before and was looking at decent SS pairings including the Corda Concerto.   My question is -...

I know that the NFB-6 is fully balanced but aside from that, which is the stronger amp? Note that I would be using the pre-amp function out to a power amp from these.

Hey guys,   Just about to pull the trigger on an M-Stage but was wondering which way to go with OPAMPS if I want a bit more clarity and excitement to the sound reproduction.   I use HD 650's and want to make sure I get as much detail retrieval as possible. I am coming from a set of q701s...

Hey guys,   Looking for a desktop amp that will match up well with the above items. Would be a bonus if it was balanced as I head good things about the D18's balanced outputs. Trying to keep the price reasonable but open to all suggestions.

A while ago when I made the purchase of my Audio GD NFB 10-SE I did some fairly extensive listening to the Audiolab M-DAC which at the time was at the top of my list in regards to value for money. I couldnt quite stretch the budget that far so I settled with the NFB 10-SE which I have been...

Hey guys,   I am doing a bit of travelling this year so I am looking to take a decent set of cans with me on the go. I have a set of HD 650's and a set of q701s so I need a reasonable amp (nothing too over the top or expensive though) that will allow me to use the mini USB out on the Galaxy...

Hey guys,   Just wondering if it is possible to use my NFB-10se as a pre amp to a rotel power amp and drive a set of B&W CM5's?   I love the 10se as a headphone amp but instead of going and buying another pre amp I figure I could utilise the one in the 10se! I would still want to use the...

Hey guys,   Hoping someone may be able to help me here as I just invested in a balanced headphone amp/dac and would love to use the XLR headphone out for my q701's.   I have been told that its not a huge job but I am not really sure to go about it as my standard cable is terminated in a...

Hey guys,   I am pretty new to all this so was wondering if someone could lend me a hand as I want to get everything setup in the best way possible first time round :)   After much debate I just purchased an Audio-GD NFB-10SE to use both the DAC and headphone amp for my Q701's. I am...
