Great. Thank you. I’ll give this a go.

Good point. No I’m not. Just the standard Apple lightening to USB adapter cable. Then a USB cable to the back of the DAC. Would the above make the difference having a power source?

My current setup for digital audio was streaming from an App such as Tidal, Amazon Music HD etc via a lightening to camera/USB cable into the the back of a CA DacMagic then on to my Rega amp. All worked fine. I’ve swapped out the DacMagic for an Audiolab Q-DAC (primarily to get the headphone...

Thanks to @kimmiles for a smooth transaction. Item very well packed and as described. Lee

I’ve taken the plunge and found a brand new Topping L30 for £90 in black which will go well next to my Brio R. The reviews sound excellent, so worth a go for that money. They will be driving my Grado 325 Gold Anniversary headphones that I treated myself to about two years ago (brand new from a...

Brilliant, thank you. That makes sense now I think about it. I’ll have a look at suggestions but also noticed that Schiit had sold out. Thanks, all

Thanks, I’ve got a dragonfly red for portable hi-res from my phone. The headphone amp will mostly be used so I can listen to my vinyl in the evening once the children are asleep. I’ve got a separate DacMagic which feeds to my Brio R for DAB and internet radio/phone streaming. Unfortunately...

Good morning, Could you recommend a headphone amp for around a £100 budget to partner my modified Rega RP1TT? Pre owned preferred. First thoughts are a Rega Ear mk2 but other ideas obviously welcome due to vast array of products that seem to be out there. Many thanks Lee

I’ve just purchased an Audioquest Dragonfly Red. You can get them for £155 new online on a famous shopping site. Haven’t read a bad review about it.

I purchased one of these which seem to work well via an optical output into the back of my DAC. Also has remote where you can control spotify streamed from your phone which is sat on a nice wooden plinth next to it. Also has DAB built in too. Works well for me...

Good evening, I’m on the lookout for ways to improve the audio of my iPhone 7 through a set of headphones. At present it’s just plugged in to a set of AKG K450s but would ideally like to listen to my spotify via a portable DAC/headphone amp to a new set of headphones to improve quality whilst...

Although a little newer, I have managed to pick up a brand new pair of IQ3's off an auction site for £140, they retailed at around £400 ish iirc. These are the larger stand mount affairs, since been replaced by the q300s. They partner excellent with my rega setup, really pleased with them now...

Afternoon all, I am still after a glass platter for my RP1 if anyone has one to sell? I'm based in Derby, thanks.

During the chat he mentioned that he only opens for 7-8 months of the year. I couldn't even give you the name of the shop off the top of my head. He was busy sorting mail order stuff whilst I was in there. It's one of those places you stumble across if you know what I mean. Lee

Yes it was. Have you been?
