    Review: HEDD Audio HEDDphone ? Pure Pristine Power

    Thank you gLer for the excellent review. After spending a few days with the Heddphone I can agree with all of what Guy said. It really is a game changer in my mind and really is a flagship headphone. The AMT is a far from a novelty, but a new direction for headphones. But as Drifter pointed out...

    Programming a Universal Remote

    Hi Everyone, I've recently got my hands on an Furutech/ADL Stratos DAC/pre. It does have a remote but unfortunately it's the dinky credit card sized ones. I'd like to code the commands onto my universal remote. I have a well used one for all 7690. It doesn't list the direct code for the...

    Best place to sell 2nd hand high end audio gear.

    I would agree with Johan. Getting to 50 posts is not that hard. And the benefit is that you'd be selling to an audience that knows the worth of your kit. Obviously not completely scam proof, but a whole lot better than the more open forums.

    Is Zeos a 'good' reviewer?

    I think he's invented a certain brand of "review" that initially comes across as impressive but soon wears thin when you start looking for substance. Also, he gets to keep most of the gear he tests (I stand corrected on the exact details), so I doubt his impartiality. Having said that, this...

    Is the Chord Dave the ultimate dac ? with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)

    I certainly don't have the money for such summit-fi and until fairly recently I had never heard a high end system with enough time to form an opinion. My previous notions were that the uber high end stuff was surely good but it could not be that much better than the affordable stuff. But ...

    Is the Chord Dave the ultimate dac ? with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)

    What is not mentioned is the Chord M-scalar which apparently takes it to the another level. And like all Chord gear it's expensive. I have heard up to level of the Hugo TT and I like it allot. If the hype is believed the Dave and M-scalar is on another level. Another, thing to think about is...

    Headphone dissatisfied: Time for planars?

    The Hifiman Arya might meet your spec. I haven't heard them but some reviewers refer to them as the planar HD800. Take that with a pinch of salt...

    RME ADI-2 DAC

    gavinbirss I have the 4490 implementation and it already had the femto second clock. RME has a great video showing how good this clock is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti0aHW-zYcs

    RME ADI-2 DAC

    BTW, was just talking about this recently to some buddies who are also keen. Some good deals could be had at Audiosaurus or Tom's Music.

    RME ADI-2 DAC

    Hi maharajs I have one of these and it is a superb device. It has all the quality you expect from RME but none of the pro audio sterility. The DAC is well implemented and has a clean and neutral sound. But the power of the ADI 2 is the onboard DSP and plethora of features. The headamp is...

    Advice please - which smart media box for my old plasma TV?

    Hi Wolla. Hope that you're well. I run a Telkom LIT box. It is surprisingly competent. Just one other thing: does your TV have an optical out? I use optical to connect to my DAC. Then you can run Tidal or Spotify as well and have good sound. It's also really user friendly especially since...

    I just learnt the secret to unlocking my dacs performance

    I've been using Audivarna for some time and it is very good. I run on a Mac so no driver issues. I like that it plays high res formats without additional plugins. You can use plugins for effects and eq though. I've also used Roon, the interface is better and it's much better when you have...
