I have done some searching here on the forum, but I'd like to put this specific question up to all of you. I do a lot of travelling and have been using a pair of NAD headphones that fold flat and give me a decent dose of fidelity on my journeys. I'd like to upgrade them and money is not a...

I have been on the hunt for a truly audiophile headphone. Something that is over ear, preferably closed and most importantly....portable. I do a lot of business travel and it is pretty annoying that I can't just grab my briefcase and go - due to the size of my Audeze LCD-X headphones. I'd love...

So I bought the Hugo 2 finally and I am a proud papa.... Now it's time to find a DAP so she's not so lonely. I have searched tons of threads and seen lots of decent choices but it's SO hard to compare and contrast. I am just looking for a large slick GUI (prefer under $1000) that will allow me...

I don't have access to listen to either of these but if I were to buy one on a wag, is either a clear choice over the other?   I am also open to other suggestions here. I just need a great pair of folding headphones (small form factor) that sound amazing. Price is of no concern here but I do a...

I am trying hard to get used to a pair of Alpha Dogs that just arrived but I fear that closed headphones are just not my thing.  I have listened to Sennheisers and Stax headphones and I think I need to go in the open direction.    Everyone raves about the Audeze headphones and I have never...

Hi all, First post here. I am an audiophile with about 6TB of FLAC and high resolution music on a dedicated server. I find myself travelling more these days for my work and I want to take my show on the road as it were!   I am a complete Newbie to portable audio but here are my criteria...
