Hi, I'm looking for someone to replace a driver for a wharfedale diamond 10.1 bookshelf speaker... Preferably someone in the Somerset West area?

Hi all I have just moved into a new flat and need to start furnishing the place. I want to set up a dedicated listening space, so I need some inspiration, and I thought I'd ask all of you to post what you want in your listening space and maybe even to post some photos of what your space looks...

Yeah the fiio stuff looks prettty decent. Watched some videos on the FH7 and damn do I want to try those out -.- This all started when I thought, "Hey, you can't use those hd598's outside, its all open and noisy. How could one more pair of headphones hurt". But as stated, I want to explore just...

About a year ago I decided to start getting my own high end system together. As a lowly student struggling through university I was fairly happy to be able to scrape together a dragonfly red + my sennheiser hd598's and some wharfedale diamonds + an smsl sa50. The next upgrades for me would be to...

Hello, I am looking for some assistance in the purchasing of a 5.1 amplifier for my folks, The speakers are Jamos and are 80 watts with 6 ohm impedance. Looking around it seems the Yamaha RS 202 is a viable option? Any assistance in choosing the right set up would be appreciated, budget is 4...

It would have to be driven by a fiio e6 though...

What was your first decent set of headphones? How did you enjoy them? What sort of rig did you run them through? Where are they now?

I'm not sure I can afford a brand new Dragonfly red, tis a students life.. Hence my hunt for a viable alternative

What exactly does "DSD" mean? Probably a stupid question but from what I understand it is the method in which a DAC decodes digital signal and turns it into analog?

This was my one ... personal reserve with this amp, the fact that it doesn't have an external power supply. Can I provide it with one!

Awesome! The Sabre is asynchronous right? If I'm not mistaken the dragonfly black uses a Sabre as well? I will definitely be using it with my laptop and streaming hifi Tidal over a Sony Z5 compact.

Hello, the website and manual don't seem to specify what DAC is used in the UDSD. It does mention asynchronous transfer rate to reduce jitter. But what is the DAC component itself and how does it perform?

Thank you everyone for your help, I have posted for a combined DAC/amp and a Headphone on the wanted classifieds :D. Here's to hoping it is fruitful! :dop:

To be honest I'm going headphone set up to save cash and because my room might not be big enough for a proper set up... What would an estimated entry level speaker system cost, including 2nd hand parts and whatnot...

Unfortunately I only really get to work enough in the holidays. So this purchase will hopefully carry me at least another 6 months. BUT I do want to start on the right foot and get parts that are of a high enough quality that I can keep them and preferably have to upgrade the headphones/cables...

I'm from Johannesburg unfortunately  :vsad: . Thanks for the offer though. I will definitely post in the wanted section when I have decided on the price range and models that interest me! The Fulla 2 looks gorgeous, and the fact that I can provide external power is a definite plus in my books...

I was looking at the Fulla Schiit, and it clearly differentiates: "Use it as an amp. Connect your phone (or any other analog source) to the convenient front jack. Use it as a preamp. Connect to powered monitors or speaker amps using the variable outputs on the back. Use it as a DAC. Connect to...

I did a brief scan and these are really cheap!!! How are they in terms of quality... And how do you get them here in south Africa... A general trend is to pay more for less/higher portability. But in this dac/amp regard it appears the portable versions are far cheaper. How do they compare in...

Thanks for responding  :mates: What about alternatives for the K240 and DFB? I really do not need a portable system... Would it potentially be cheaper/better to get a dedicated amp and a headset and add a DAC on in the future? I am a bit sceptical of a usb drive sized AMP/DAC combo...

So I am looking to drop about R3k on a set of headphones... But I am worried that without a proper set up (right now I am using my laptop and foobar) I won't get enough out of the headsets to make them worth it... So I am torn between getting a cheaper headset (say Creative Aurvana Live! or...
