One question regarding the power and pre-amp, please. Because B&W 804 requires quite some power from the amplifier, I was thinking to get two mono blocks from Electrocompaniet (AW 180 - 250W). But, I was wondering if I can skip the pre-amp and use a network streamer with prea-amp function, like...

Yes, you are right. The phone should work as a PC in that mode. I have the below options for USB connection, but they are only available under the Developer Options. If I'm not mistaken, when I used the ifi zen Dac with the Android phone, the color of the dac led was changing based on the file...

Hi. You can use a phone or tablet to stream MQA, or any other quality, so the audiolab decode the files and not the phone/tablet. You need an OTG cable between your device and the audiolab/ usb B - usb A father that comes out from audiolab. Because of the OTG cable the audio is not decoded by...

I want to share my experience with the brand new experience of GoldenEar BRX. I was very pleased with them, but after one year I decided to buy a 20 years old B&W 804 Nautilus. The price difference was 200 euros. They just can't compare in matter of sound. I went for the old 800 B&W series at...

After more research I find out that ifi defender+ is the solution for connecting portable 2.5" HDDs (that are takeing the power from the same USB data cable) to the Cambridge CXN v2. The noise of spinning motor/platans made by hdd desapeard after I connected the ifi defender+ to the Cambridge...

I forget to mention that I already tested the 2nd 2.5" HDD powered by the CXN, using the same data cable. The result was identical to the first one: noise, noise, noise. So, the signal is clean as long as I'm using USB stick and external HDD with it's own power supply. And I think you are...

I wasn't alone when I did the tests. We sticked the ear to the speakers when testeted CXN with pionner, audiolab and pathos. There was no brum, or platan spinning noise delivered to thespeakers.

All 2.5" external hard drives does not come with external power adapter. They all take power from the same USB cable that transfer data...

Hello, I'm looking for an explanation regarding the following issue, please. 2.5" HDD -> CXN v2 -> ECi-2 I'm playing WAV files from an external 2.5" HDD (does not have external plug for power, it is takeing power via the same USB port) that is connected to a Cambridge CXN v2. The...

Hello guys, After listening for some time to Yamaha RN 803D I would like to come up with an opinion and share it with you. I paired up the RN 803D with golden ear BRX and I was pretty much impressed by the difference in musicality compared with and AV receiver. I had the chance to listen also...

Thank you Gray. I think I get it now! I connected the DEC directly to the line in of the PC and everything went well! The quality of the recording was impressive, considering the age of the tape! I also connected the Rec Out of the Yamaha to a NAD amplifier and it's working great! Have a...

Hello, I have the below back connections on the Yamaha RN 803D. I wanted to record the sound from an old tape (from 1982) to computer. The DEC does not have amplifier and I was thinking to connected to Yamaha receiver. I connected the DEC to Line 2 IN and from Line 2 REC I used an RCA to stereo...

thank you :D

I made this speakers stand for the GoldenEar BRX and I wanted to share them. The issue with the BRX is that the base of the speaker is trapezoidal, with a large and small rounded base, but also rounded at the corners. The top plate is MDF and was catted with a CNC machine and the middle of the...
