Going back to LPs can be an expensive business. I knew that- What i didn't know was just how expensive it could be. Recently went to a Hi Fi outlet near me to enquire about the DAC /player route for flac files. I there saw a turntable which looked the business. Took me back to my LP era, many...

I haven't done anything positive yet except try to find balanced cables.On E bay I saw a 2.5mm to XLR female for 32 dollars. But I'm nowhere near getting any. First I have to get the Hi Res player, then after a while I'll see if high end phones are better than my present ones. ( which they...

Thank you, Paul. You have explained that very clearly, and I am grateful.I must admit the Oppo balanced leads ( sold separately- surprise!) threw me, in that I didn't think that you could have balanced leads unless it was using a XLR plug. I agree that I would have two superfluous XLR leads...

thanks for the reply. I see you have the Oppos.however, does what you say above ensure a balanced output? Seems too easy a solution. I thought the XLR connections had to come into it-lol. I Say this because Oppo do a "balanced "lead which ends in an XLR connector.If I got that, I then need an...

In order to play my WAV files ripped from my CDs, I intend to use a Hi Res portable player, likely to be the Pioneer Xdp 300 ( re-badged Onkyo DP-X1?). They have an input for when balanced cables are used -2.5mm in diam.The headphones are likely to be either Oppo PM 1 or Sennheiser 800s.As I...

The price difference between the two suggests a real quality difference in the sound, but the official blurb of each of the two seems to be describing the same product, sonically! The packaging - lovely box etc - of the PM 1 is exceptional, but IMHO there should, surely must, be more than that...

I think you didn't, read my post fully. When I tap the voicemail tab the phone starts ringing. I clearly said that. Your solution doesn't, work for me.

Hello. I know how I should be able to delete voicemails, but on my iOS 9 I cannot. Whenever I tap the voicemail tab at bottom of screen , the phone starts calling the voicemail. There should be some options come up, instead of the phone ringing out, but they do not. Anyone know of a fix...

I don't know the MacBook Air , but I use an I pad, connected via lightening cable to my TEAC DAC and my Grado sr80e phones. The difference between that and just the phones straight into the MacBook is unbelievable. Yes, a DAC is worth it.

I too have these phones, but I am thinking of upgrading. They are good but I found the cables soon twisted and an ear up has worn and frayed.soundwise they are good especially since the addition of a DAC. If you are keeping them Smuggs, you won,t believe the difference a DAC makes. I bought...
