yeah i must admit my dad has told me to just keep an eye out on ebay and the likes for bargains, and to bide my time, don't just dive in and buy the first thing that's in my price range. Hoping to get some demo-ing done fairly soon... thanks for all the ideas guys :) it really helps, i'm only...

actually i tell a lie, the room is about 10ft x 12-13ft, either way it's a fairly small room (due to it only being a small apartment because i live on my own)

hi again, In repsonse to Mac, i would definitely be willing to go down the second hand route, most of my fathers set-up is 2nd hand, and he's got most of it for half price or less (based on retail price). In response to Davedotco and BigH, i'm not really sure about budget either, i don't really...

Hey guys, Basically i've recently moved out of my parents house and want to start my hifi system. I've been using some Q Acoustic 2020i's connected to a creative surround sound (not particularly the best set up by any means!) but now i want to get myself some floor standers and a proper...

as far as i'm aware, this particular dac would not work with an iPod.. although you can get mini usb-iphone female adapters, so with that and a regular ipod-usb cable it may be possible, but with it being a 'mini-dac' and only using power from the usb cable, the ipod may not provide enough power...

So i've had this Fubar 4 Plus for a few days now, given it a good listen. It is safe to say i am thoroughly impressed with the difference it makes. The bass is a lot tighter, the mid range is more defined and voices are almost heavenly! (compared to the previous sound i had anyway, i'm sure a...

Thanks for the input guys, I'd read a few forums posts and things before where people said similiar things to Ben123, but they are only cheap little speakers, so I don't think they'll need much power, and for the price of a set of 4 banana plugs it'll be worth a try surely. Will let you know...

Hi there guys, Just a couple of quick questions really. I'll start off with a little detail about my set-up, i have a Creative (not the best i know) 7.1 Surround Sound system attached to my pc, although i'm only using 5.1 at the moment due to a small room, i have it set up mainly for watching...

just ordered a fubar 4+ (due to them only being £126 for a while) will report back in a couple of days once it's arrived. p.s. thanks for the tip off about the fubar Fatman ;)

i haven't yet no, sadly i had a problem with the car so had to spend some money to get that fixed, probably gonna be a couple of weeks before i can order the x1, but i'm pretty sure that's what i'm going to go for :)

seems to be a lot of love for the Aune X1, looked at a few other forums and reviews etc too, all seem to be saying X1 is one of the best at this price range. Think I'll probably go for that, I'll get back to you all with my thoughts when I've got it and tried it out ;) Thanks for all the...

has anyone had any experience with the FIIO DAC's? heard a lot of great reviews about the E09/E07 combo, or even E09/E17. and like Eggontoast said, is your rPac and Aune x1 comparison based on personal experience or just on reviews? thanks for the feedback so far guys! :)

yeah i've looked into the rPAC, trying to read up as much as i can about as many DAC-H/Phone amps as i can. though i'm pretty sure that almost any USB DAC i get would be an improvement over the current set up i'm using.

So basically, i've just bought some Grado SR80i's and although they sound so much better than the last set of cans i had (AKG K430's) i feel they aren't quite giving their full potential. I have been thinking about getting a dac/headphone amp to boost their quality. I mainly use them on my pc...
