    That's some handy info. Some varieties of tips I've not tried yet. Will definitely import some at some stage. Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk

    Now Playing - Headphone Edition

    The Thin Lizzy version is the classic. The Metallica version, unsurprisingly is way heavier. But it's pretty cool tribute I think.

    Which Furman Power Conditioner/Filter?

    Thanks for the reply Wolvebain. I'm going to use the filter to clean up the power to my head fi rig, which has a couple of amps and dacs. I also have a macbook serving my music. I have not measured my home power so I assume it is typical Eskom cleanliness. In terms of noise attenuation: AC210...

    Which Furman Power Conditioner/Filter?

    Thanks chrisc. That's one vote for the AC210. The exchange rate really messes things up. This unit was meant to be a cost effective solution.

    Which Furman Power Conditioner/Filter?

    I'm looking to get myself a power conditioner/filter. I've decided on going for Furman and unsurprisingly there are a plethora of options. The reference line is crazy expensive and not an option. It seems that the AC 210A...

    iFi Zen CAN - First Impressions

    Great review Banjuka! It seems this little iFi is a pretty great all in one. Apparently pairs really well with the HD6XX/650. So much so that Drop and iFi have a signature version just for them. Would be interesting to know if the sound difference is worth getting it from Drop?

    Thanks for the impressions ron g! Sounds like quite a bargain and could be good option when you don't want to use your expensive IEMs like exercising etc. It's really a pity good foam tips are so difficult to come by locally. It would make tweaking the IEM sound signature so much easier.

    + 1 for Louis. Excellent quality and workmanship. He should be able to do a custom stand.

    Topping D90 MQA a game changer?

    Great insight Ninja_Theory. I am also not an MQA convert. A properly mastered album will sound great regardless. I think it was very smart of topping to sell a cheaper non MQA version.

    Topping A90 a game changer?

    Hi Everyone, I'd like to share my opinion on the A90 amp. I'm no audio reviewer, but I hope it helps to describe the amp's qualities. I've had the A90 for a few weeks now and I've had the time to give it a good listen. I'm feeding it with a RME ADI-2 DAC FS using the balanced connections. I...

    Your favourite cd player ?

    I still get allot of joy out of my Rotel 965BX LE. Still one of my favourite digital components.

    Topping A90 a game changer?

    My 2 woolongs?  Get the A90.  Screw all the noise, and mini-upgrades, and multiple small mid-fi gear, etc.  A90 now, and focus on the most important thing: listening to the music Thanks. I am keen on trying the A90 out. After all the hype, I really thought the 789 was the end-game. But may...

    Topping A90 a game changer?

    Some interesting feedback about the A90. I was considering getting the THX 789 of Drop which is considerably cheaper. But for all the praise the 789 gets, there is also a warning that the sound might not be for everyone. It seems the A90 is getting compliments for being transparent but also very...

    Audirvana for Mac - version 3.5

    I also had to do a fair amount fiddling to the Mytek happy. It still freaks out with the odd DSD file. I've avoided OS Catalina because my older Mytek is not supported in case I want to move it the main system. High Sierra so far is working fine. Does your DAC have any specific drivers for...

    Audirvana for Mac - version 3.5

    I just ponied up for a license of Audirvana after testing it on my Win 10 laptop going into my head-fi rig and my Mac Mini feeding my main system. My head-fi rig uses a Mytek stereo 192 DSD and after some fiddling and to and fro with support, I got everything working. 24/96 files were a...

    So the slippery slope starts

    It's a fun journey especially when you get all big gains early on.  :thumbs: I suspect you'll be looking at a drop 58x or 6xx real soon. Enjoy. Lot's of great people on this forum for advise too.

    Opinion : Lexus, Honda, Mazda, Volvo

    Great choice. I've heard the ES range offers good value, for a luxury brand. Between my Wife and I we've owned several BMW's and Mercedes or two. The BMW's are best drivers (my opinion  :flame:) cars no doubt, but in the real world the Lexus gives a great balance of reliability, luxury and...
