You’re clearly looking 2nd hand and for which I don’t think you’ll need to worry about regret because Naim holds its value well. I had a first gen Nait XS for 13 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. I only really moved up to SN3 because I went to a much larger room with bigger speakers. Although...

Has anyone compared the HD800 to the IE900 in terms of sound signature?

Another vote for DBpoweramp, love the fact it compares rip to database

Intel NUC NUC7i5DNK Mini PC Core i5-7300U 2.6GHz/8GB/128GB here, bought for £170 off eBay, running rock sat quite happily next to my router and has performed faultlessly. I don’t use DSP mind and not a particularly large library, which is plugged into the Nuc via sd card/usb

Yes. Had one at home for a weekend side by side with a Chord Hugo/2go. The unit I had was faulty in that the wifi unit didn’t work. The dealer never picked up on this as they plug straight into Ethernet, nevertheless I could still run it via a usb stick. I ran it mainly though my main system...

I have Grado SR80 and tried the 325x at home. I wasn’t that keen, felt they were a bit lean for my taste, ended up with Meze 99 Classic instead

Not strictly DAPs but I went from Chords Poly/Mojo to 2go/Hugo. They don’t go outside the house but I find them so versatile in house. They’re the hub of my main system, very neat and tidy on the shelf, so power supply issues to worry about and if I’m working from home or sat on the sofa and...

I’m way out East but interested to follow this. A friend of mine rode it last year

Have seen than but strangely the discounts are never in the UK. Comfort fine but headband really big. I’m not particularly small but had them on the smallest setting

Any love for the Quads over here? There’s quite a lengthy thread over on Head-fi with some die hard fans. I’ve heard them at a dealers and was very impressed, my headphone experience is somewhat limited though.

Tomorrow is the day then, 'A New Era in Sound"

How do you find the Airpods pro 2 compare to the Max for sound? Tried the Max in store but not heard the Pro2's

I’ve got Meze 99 classic which are great. I think the Neos are very similar, just plastic casing rather than wood and come in under 200

Cables cables, wildly different views on here but I will say I’ve just tried NACA5 and KS-1 at home and they sounded very different. As always you can only try for yourself in your system

I haven’t done a direct comparison but have gone from Mojo1 to Hugo2 and it was a significant change. Hugo1 had something of a cult following, including people running it high end systems over on the green forum. Batteries are easily replaced and you could resell the Hugo1 should you try one for...
