Moved on to the iFi iPhono 2, and then a Parasound JC3 JR.Each was a step up in SQ, but just a little bit each time.Then I found the Gold No... | |

| Bluetooth headphones: are there any? If you're using a cell phone as source, and you have an iPhone then make sure the BlueTooth headphones specifically state they are ACC compatible. Most of the newer models are, but always good to double check.If you're using a Droid phone, and it... | |
