    Chord Mojo + Android + Spotify = ???

    Hi All, I'm seriously considering the Chord Mojo as an Amp/DAC to pair, currently, with my HTC One M8 (although this can change fairly frequently) and my laptop at work. Now my main concern is that I will have trouble using Spotify on the Android device so I'm wondering if there is anyone out...

    BBC iPlayer on Samsung J series (Tizen)

    Now a new thing on the same lines....I noticed ITV player appear this morning in the Smart Hub so I downloaded it. It seemed to play OK and all was good but then today I had two occasions where Smart Hub would not start when pressing the button on either remote. First time around I had to do a...

    BBC iPlayer on Samsung J series (Tizen)

    Thanks for the replies!! I had no chance of selling the curved screen at home so had to take the plunge on the 7 series for better or worse...still a tax free bonus from my job so no complaints on that part! I fixed the YouTube issue...some weird DNS issue with the UnoTelly service I use from...

    BBC iPlayer on Samsung J series (Tizen)

    Hi Folks, Anyone else got a new J series Samsung TV and finds they just get "Not Available...Coming Soon" when starting BBC iPlayer?? I'm also not able to find ITV player or get YouTube working (it starts but is empty) so any similar experiences would be good to hear....terrible information...

    looking for help from any Samsung JU7000 owners....

    OK, so it would seem you can change the region with "Mute > Menu > Vol + > Channel + > Mute" keypresses when at the terms and conditions section of the Smarthub setup....now I can get iPlayer but seems it's not working on their newest TV's...awesome!

    looking for help from any Samsung JU7000 owners....

    Well this is why I'm asking. My older Samsung C8000 allowed you to select country when with a remote trick and I've heard on the H series it was possible to reset the Smart Hub and do something similar to get a country menu but nothing so far on the J series. I'm hoping someone here may own...

    looking for help from any Samsung JU7000 owners....

    Hi, I'm at the point of getting one of these tv's (I get to choose a new tv from my job & my wife hates curved) but I really need to know if it's easy to choose which country you're in when setting up the Smart Hub. Main problem is that BBC iPlayer is not a default app and not seemingly...

    Bose QC15 and a headphone amp...

    There seems to be some differing opinions on whether or not noise cancelling headphones can benefit from a portable amp and/or DAC so I'm wondering if anyone here is actually using this sort of combo? I have just purchased some Bose QC15's (after trying both them and the Parrot Ziks) and now...

    Parrot Zik Owners....Please Help!

    I'm shopping around for a pair of noise cancelling headphones and after being underwhelmed yesterday with my new UE-6000's I'm now looking at the Parrot Zik or Klipsch M40 again. The main sticking point on whether I go for the Zik is the fact that it seems to be completely contolled by an app...

    B&W P7 - Will a headphone amp/DAC improve anything?.

    Thanks again for another good response! When you mention Fiio missing the DAC, what about something like the E17 or E18? Should they just not be considered? Cheers!

    B&W P7 - Will a headphone amp/DAC improve anything?.

    Morning! I've been read a fair bit on headphone amps and DACs recently and I'm still none the wiser if I could benefit from using one. Right now I use the P7's with an HTC One (and occasionally an iPhone 5s) with FLAC as the source material coupled with Spotify on "extreme" quality and soon...

    Klipsch Mode M40 vs Bose Quiet Comfort 15 vs...?

    Thanks for the feedback! Ive actually taken another route and ordered the UE-6000 for £78. If they're good enough then great but if not I should be able to sell them on as they still retail for around £200 here in Sweden. Whatever happens though the P7's are going to be tough to partner with...

    Klipsch Mode M40 vs Bose Quiet Comfort 15 vs...?

    Hi, I currently use the B&W P7's as my main headphones (which I love) but I'm thinking of also buying a pair of noise cancelling headphones for those days on the train or in the office when I just want to shut things out. They would also be expected to perform on flights as we'll ranging from...

    B&W C5 compared to P7

    I have owned the C5's, (briefly) the P5's and now the P7's and so far happier with the sound quality and comfort of the bigger headphones. That said, the in-ear offering was still very good with much higher sound isolation than the over head counterparts. The sound itself is very very good...
