    Rega Brio R burn in time passed

    I was considering using the Brio-R and the Rega DAC alongside a ZP90, so I'd be very interested to hear what you think of the combination. At the moment, I can't shake the feeling that the £270 ZP90 isn't a worthy source for the rest of the components - but I guess it's really only acting like a...

    Firestone Spitfire Mk II

    Very true. I've found that ordering from Firestone directly - although they're overseas - is very reliable and quick. I reckon the Spitfire MkII and Supplier combo would be a cracking pairing.

    Firestone Spitfire Mk II

    Just received a press release from Firestone Audio about their new forthcoming Spitfire Mk II DAC. WHF reviewed the original and gave it five stars, only complaining about the lack of USB - http://whathifi.com/Review/Firestone-Spitfire/ This new one looks to have rectified that problem, as it...

    Headphone Amp

    I guess that would all depend on your budget! The rDac with a Creek or a Slee would be significantly more expensive than a combined DAC/amp like the Beresford or Fubar. But then I guess you'd probably get better results for your money, as the separate components are very highly regarded. Wonder...

    I need a headphone amp

    Good question! Yes, you can have more than one input connected - I have the Airport Express connected via optical, and my old CD player connected via coaxial. Not tried playing them both at the same time to see what happens though! I was initially thinking the fixed and variable outputs on the...

    I need a headphone amp

    Hi Dave, I was in your position a few months back, and was debating the Fubar IV and Beresford Caiman, as well as the iBasso range. The thing that swung it for me (and several other forum users at the time) was the great price reduction Firestone Audio were doing on the Fubar IV just after...

    Firestone Audio

    If you've already offloaded the digital to analogue conversion onto the DACMagic, then I would suggest that the Bravo really isn't going to gain you very much (regardless of how pretty it all looks). As you can see in the photo, I'm using the Fubar IV with the Supplier for an entirely different...

    Firestone Audio

    SpiceWeasel:Well I have only got the one mini box at the mo (Fubar4), but I couldn't resist posting the mini rack. On the website it says that you can lock the boxes to the rack on the bottom two shelves, and you can combine two racks into one big rack if you have more boxes. I *did* have only...

    Fubar IV

    If you're at all interested in my opinion, then my review of the Fubar IV/Supplier combo is up at www.lowfidelity.co.uk Needless to say, I think that this little system is quite something...

    Fubar IV

    Ooh, look - shiny things! Haven't listened yet, but it certainly looks the business! Full update to follow once it has been sufficiently run-in.

    Apple TV or CA Azur 640c V2 ?

    Just to add my two-pence worth, if you're considering the Apple TV only for music streaming purposes, then you can suffice with the Apple Airport Express instead. It'll stream your lossless files from your computer over wifi or ethernet, and you can take an optical digital feed out of it into...

    Fubar IV

    Had an email from Firestone Audio to say that my Supplier had been dispatched (At last! Think they were having volcano problems) and it should be here in the next couple of days. Full write up (on here and on my blog) when I've had a chance to give it a good listen!
