The best ones I’ve heard are the Sony WF-1000XM3. The new Apple AirPod Pro are also decent, as already mentioned

If you’re happy with the Senns and it’s just wiring they should be repairable If you’d prefer wireless, I’d look for something that is capable of using LDAC or LHDC as they’re edging towards lossless CD bitrates with these two technologies (although only Sony uses LDAC as far as I’m aware)

Sector has some decent stuff in FLAC Sector Radio http://sectorradio.ru/ Sector 80s http://sectorradio.com/geny-flac Sector 90s http://89.223.45.5:8000/next-flac Sector Classical http://sectorradio.com/nota-flac Sector Progressive http://sectorradio.com/progressive-flac Sector Space...

Yeah it can. It can run almost any Android app (and can often be forced to run others if you know what you’re doing)

Died recently :(

I never got to try them last weekend (I was focused on auditioning closed cans and IEMs) but the praise and feedback was near universally positive from those who tried them out. Those and the HEDDphone ones seemed to impress most people.

Earmax Pro “Flintstone” headphone amplifier. Just awful, like a small child trying to imitate the music with a plastic toy instrument. A nonsense of an amplifier.

Hi James, sorry this was posted while I was typing - not after active speakers at the moment thanks (although if the Kef LSX ever becomes Roon Ready that may change sharpish)

Yeah those are all more than twice the size listed in my requirements, sorry. Also not interested in active speakers as I have the amplifier and they have too few input capabilities - thanks to all who are trying to help though. Some interesting suggestions in here. Would the D3045 really be no...

Unfortunately these are too big. I have a pair of DB1+ in my AV rig, lovely speakers but too large for the place they'll be standing. Good feedback so far for the Dalis. Has anyone heard the Menuet? Tempted by their good pricing at the moment, and the specs look good, but if they're not really...

Righto - so I'm having a shake-up of my study/third system. It's mainly a headphone rig and currently consists of: Topping DX7s DAC & headphone amp/preamp NAD D3045 Resolution Audio Opus 21 CDP Monitor Audio Radius R90 speakers (I've omitted the headphone details as I'm happy with that) I...

I have the Neo Ace, absolutely love it. Brilliant for Roon too - seamless and rock-solid stability. The MiND app is a bit basic/clunky, but as I use Roon 99% of the time, it’s not an issue (and it’s possible that it’s not all that bad, but because of how well it integrates with Roon, I’ve not...

Waiting for my DX7s to be delivered on Thursday, I'm really looking forward to hearing it after reading so many great things (including the ASR measurements)

Oddly enough, that's the main area where the Hugo 2 is mismatched with the Utopias https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-chord-hugo-2-dac-and-headphone-amplifier.2349/ (You can ignore the DAC section at the top - the final graph in the original...

What are you currently using and what's your rough budget? Do you have any specific sonic characteristics you're looking for?
