On another note, what are your experiences with the JCAT USB? I m currently JPlay with the Paul Pang card to good effect, but I ve heard the JCAT is a big improvement due to the lack of psu requirements? Are you just using that audio PC for sound or is it controlled by another PC on the...

I dont think the issue is with noise but more with inconsistencies in the voltage, possible from having over 10 devices plugged into a 2 wall socket and being in an old london house with 3 other appartments. I think my best bet is to isolate the hifi from coputer as suggested and buy something...

I have only ever lived in old london houses that have been converted to flats. Is a Uninterruptible Power Supply and a Main Regenerator the same thing? or do they provide the same effect? A UPS seems to be much cheaper than a lot "audio" branded mains regenerators. Does anyone have a link to...

Thank you for honest feedback and direction. Ideally I m looking for something that would provide benefits to both the DAC and the amp like the acquarius but not quite as expensive! The Isotek Evo3 Polarius 6 seems interesting as I could plug it straight into the wall, and have the AMP and...

I have a Chord QuteHD and a Plinius 9200, I m wondering whether people use power supplies for such equipment. I know there are DC power supplies for the DAC available which I imagine do help a lot, but I m wondering more about AC power supplies for the Plinius. My kit is currently plugged into...

GO to currys xmas sale, they have a 60 inch samsung on sale for 1000, i bought the 50" a while ago and love it

I use to use QED XT-400 and the sound was just better. More enjoyable, everyone in my house commented on what had changed without knowing. I have Audiolab M-DAC, Plinius 9200 and Spendor A6

you have to have a good system, if you have an samsung phone also try voodoo sound, it is also brilliant

In the end I bought the chord signature, 2 x 3m for 430, and it is one of the best hi fi purchases I have ever made, completely bettered the system in every way

Check out the Astell Kern AK10, it seems amazing but you need USB OTG compatibility

I got the Note 3 brand new on ebay for 480, it is amazing

Giffgaff is amazing as long as you buy the bundles and dont rely on it internationally then it becomes very very expensive

Has anyone seen the Astell Kern Ak10? Anyone bought it?
