Old and new in perfect harmony!
Apologies, but I have to admit that I don't quite understand what I'm looking at. I recognize the parts, but... a hint please, for those of us less hip to the modern ways? A hidden dongle of some sort, maybe?Old and new in perfect harmony!
Don’t take it too seriously. I have had the Sony for years and decided to hook it up with the Dragonfly and the HD700 for s laugh and in the end decided to leave the Sony well alone. You can’t improve on perfection!I have to admit that I don't quite understand what I'm looking at. I recognize the parts, but... a hint please, for those of us less hip to the modern ways?
Close. 700’sRadio into audioquest dac into sennheiser hd800 headphones
Yep, those are the parts I recognized. Just wasn't sure what was happening at the USB end of the Dragonfly, or how it was being powered. I have no experience with that particular device.Radio into audioquest dac into sennheiser hd800 headphones
Well, you can’t power it. It was just a light hearted tongue-in-cheek post. Apologies to @Tony L for disrupting his post.Yep, those are the parts I recognized.

No matter really, just curious.
OOOOOHHH! Shows you how out of touch I am; I’m sitting here googling ways to try and make it work.Well, you can’t power it. It was just a light hearted tongue-in-cheek post. Apologies to @Tony L for disrupting his post.
My new portable source: the AM-only Panasonic "Panapet", developed for Expo '70 in Osaka. Missing its chain "leash" but otherwise looks and plays like new. About the size of a small grapefruit; uses a 9V battery and has a mono earplug jack as well as the built-in speaker. I listened to a baseball game on it on Saturday afternoon, and all was right with the world for awhile.
Edit: Found an original ad for it.
Good idea. I'm led to understand the tubes drain the battery in an hour-ish, but I'd still like to hear it, even just once.How about using 5x 9v batteries just so you can use it occasionally? It looks like there's be just about enough room.
