I think you hit the nail on the head there. With the negative connotations seemingly associated with 'Audiophile', perhaps 'Hi-Fi enthusiast' would be the best way to describe the likes of people who post on forums such as this?

Frustrating to say the least, I'm sure. Not the best way to sell themselves to you during a trial either. I think streaming services are always going to have that monopoly where you'll only be able to listen to certain tracks on certain services. I'm still to be won over by streaming myself. I...

Jeez... haters gonna hate! I think some people need to chill out a bit. For those of you who were genuinely interested in the cable, I would still recommend giving it an audition. It is still doing a job in my system (2 years on), and despite the fact that the one I have is longer than I need...

I'm still registered but no longer a subscriber to the service. I would like to purchase songs from the website still but it always says that the song is not available to purchase in my location (i.e. UK). This includes songs that I have purchased previously from Qobuz. Is this a polite way of...

Aw fantastic, thanks for pointing that out to me that EvPa. I will definitely be able to relax and know that I can still buy and download tracks without being a subscriber; I've been listening like mad on my free trial thinking that I won't be able to listen to everything in high quality until...

Seemed to randomly stumble across this whilst desperately trying to find a website to purchase files in WAV or FLAC. I'm currently signed up to the one week free trial. I think it's really good. I haven't had any experience with other streaming services but the interface is nice and easy to...

Similar to the above posts, and might be a tad biased... but I'd recommend the Nait XS highly. It seems to have everything that you're looking for, however I don't know how it compares to the other amps that the guys on here have suggested. I started with the Nait 5i and upgraded to the XS, it...

Hey Roby. I admit that I didn't really audition anything before I got the Nait XS. I originally had a Nait 5i which I really liked... I was looking to upgrade and I came across an ex-demo Nait XS for £950. So I took it home for a week and loved it. It seemed like a natural progression (from the...

I'm running a Nait XS with my 683's. Was only till I picked up a Rega DAC a couple of weeks ago that's made me appreciate both the Nait XS and 683's. I'm a big fan of the B&W sound so like suggested, I'm keen on sticking with them until I win the the lottery and can upgrade to the 800 series...

I hope it does make a difference for you, toyota man. I was initially a sceptic but having heard that the Wireworld cable I tried sounded worse than my Belkin, I felt that there must be a scope for a USB cable that sounds better... luckily this came in the form of the Chord. I look forward...

I know there's a lot of USB cable sceptics out there, but last week I picked up a Rega DAC from my local Seven Oaks and was recommended I try the Chord USB SilverPlus in addition. The guys in the shop said that they'd had a few customers try it who felt it it made an improvement... I can only...

I've heard a pair running on a Naim system... not too sure which one it was. But it sounded absolutely awesome.

I had the 601 S3's for a while and thought that were great little speakers. I think the complaint that some people had with the S3 range was that they can be a little bit bright. I haven't had experience with the 685's, but I've currently got the 683's and I'd say there's definitely and...

No problem, Sonos. It's definitely worth giving it some time before making any real judgements. I think this will be the case for me ha... until I'm rich! But yes, I have to agree... with the Nait XS, I just feel like it lets you enjoy the music more than anything.

Hey Sonos. I currently have a Nait XS + Flatcap XS running B&W 683's. I am very satisfied with my set up and am really happy with the sound. After an initial problem with the first Nait XS I took home, I returned to the dealer who suggested I might prefer the Naim NAC 152 XS/Nap 155 XS...
