    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    I cannot find that OTG player app on the Amazon app store. I think I might get the Amazon Bluetooth receiver for the boombox and try it on my hi-fi too, if it sounds good enough I will probably get another Amazon Bluetooth receiver for the hi-fi too as this seems like the easiest option, but if...

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    Edit. Radical thought, if you can get it to access your network, why not get a Chromecast Audio and have that access Spotify and internet radio for you? Lets you use the tablet for other things whilst the music is playing. Only £30. I believe the Amazon tablet is not meant to access Google...

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    I may consider the Amazon Bluetooth receiver. The reviews generally say the sound quality and volume is very good with only a very small percentage of reviews saying sound quality is bad (funny how most people say SQ is very good and a few say it's bad but no one saying SQ is so so?) I guess...

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    Just tried the app, seems to add distortion, perhaps this was a stupid question, I just need to turn up my amp or boombox. Thanks anyway.

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    I've just found an app called Speaker Boost on the Amazons app store but the reviews are mixed and I suspect these kinds of apps would impact sound quality in not a good way?

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    How do I connect my Fire 7 to a DAC as the headphone output is obviously analogue and the mini USB socket is used for charging? And if there was a way to do this would it have any audio advantages over simply turning up the volume on my amp or boombox?

    Does Bluetooth lose sound quality at all?

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    Nothing wrong with my amp or speakers, could I use some sort of headphone amplifier or would it be better simply to crank up the volume on my HiFi or boombox?

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    Sorry I may not have described the problem very well, I am using a cable from the tablets headphone socket into my amp inputs or boombox line in but the sound from the tablet is not very loud even with the volume on the tablet on max (I guess this is because the headphone output is restricted so...

    Can I boost the sound levels from Amazon Fire tablet?

    Hi, I have an Amazon 7 Fire tablet which I use as a cheap way of getting Spotify, internet radio etc... by plugging it into my hi-fi or boombox via the Fires headphone socket but even though the sound quality from the fire is not bad the sound level from the headphone socket is a little quiet...

    Does a graphic equaliser have a place in a hi-fi system?

    I was listening to Steve Wright in the Afternoon the other day and I heard him say that every track played is Equalized. I,m not sure how radio 2 do this? Maybe the songs are EQ,ed before going onto the radio 2 playlist or some software automatically does it in real time?*unknw* But it's...

    Sonic differences between Q Acoustics 3020, Q Acoustics 2020 and Kef Q350 speakers?

    I'm not neccessarily looking for a new pair of speakers but am intriguged by the new Kef Q350 speakers. I currently have q acoustics 2020 (old model) and Q Acoustics 3020 both pairs running off a marantz amp and I am reasonably happy with my setup. Just wondering if the Kef's are any...

    Does a graphic equaliser have a place in a hi-fi system?

    I think the speakers are well positioned. Removing the grilles definitely helps a lot, but I have kids and am a little nervous to leave the grilles off. Though my kids are fairly sensible, maybe I might chance it *unknw*
