    PC Surgery

    I'm thinking of switching from a 1080p 60Hz screen to 3440x1440p later this year with a bit of curved screen goodness so have been eyeing up the 4070ti Super. At the moment I have a fairly aged 1060 with 6GB of ram which is not realistically going to cope with the upped resolution. The 1060 was...

    Looking good! What GPU have you gone for? Thinking of doing an upgrade on my GPU soon.

    PC Surgery

    By the time you took everything off the motherboard, replaced the motherboard and put everything back on you may as well do as you've done and just replace the lot. It's a lot more fun (and expensive!) that way. I always enjoy building computers but as you say you need a good sized table to...

    Stereo amp w/ headphones jack and BT

    You could consider a NAD D3020 v2. Those speakers look efficient so should be easy to drive in the small room you describe. It has a separate headphone amp built in along with the connections you stipulate (plus more connections should you wish to use them. I'm afraid I'm not really up on the...

    Best USB-C DAC Dongle ?

    Just a note of caution... I found out the hard way that from the S21 onwards Samsung phones have no expandable storage options. My S20FE had a Micro SD card slot built into it but after my 5 year old dropped it I went for an S21 FE. It didn't advertise that it had a Micro SD slot when I went...

    Best USB-C DAC Dongle ?

    I borrowed a relatives Dragonfly Red a while back. It made a lovely job of the music library on my phone. I used USB Audio Player Pro as the app on my phone and it worked a treat. Doesn't half hammer your phone battery though!

    Cheap as chips USB C DACs

    Hi all, I was rather abruptly made aware on a flight that my mobile phone no longer has a 3.5mm output built into it for my Sennheiser IE80Ss to be plugged into. Instead of being able to watch films I was restricted to listening to music on my Sony NWA45 instead. If I listen to music then it...

    TV and Speaker Wall Mount Bracket

    Hi All, Not sure if what I'm after exists- I haven't found anything that fits the bill yet. I wish to mount a 24"-26" TV in the garage on a bracket that can rotate. It's going in front of the running machine but I'd like to be able to rotate the TV so that it is also watchable from a bike on a...

    Question Sonos or Naim Mu-so Qb?

    Only a year and a half late! 🤣 Reading the thread I was amazed to see someone with a very similar setup and experience to me. Then I realised it was my post. Whoops! On a slightly more serious note (and a bit late on this old thread) I love my Musos in many ways but the app has the ability to...

    How To Sonos NAS and Format. With iProducts.

    I've got a Synology NAS which I use for music to my Naim Musos and ripped DVDs and BluRays to my TV. I've previously been an Apple user but have since switched to Samsung mobile devices. Because of this I have a lot of music ripped through iTunes. Anything newer has been ripped as FLAC. I've...

    NAD D3020v2 enough to drive Wharfedale Evo 4.1?

    They're reasomably easy to drive by the looks of things. Wharfedale's website states Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1M)87dB so the NAD should be ok with these. Did you have any other speakers or amplifiers in mind too?
