New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Did everyone vouching for this product pay full $299 list price, no subsidies or free samples?  
Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday...
Its true does not cost much for good portable  sound these days.  A decent smartphone and a pair of $99 Grado headphones will be all most ever need.  Add a good quality amp/DAC and you are really in business.  Lots of tough competition for Oppo th...

Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
I've found the Dynaudios can sound a tad hot in some setups, but not with the C5i.   How do the ELACs compare to ATC SCM 19? 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
I am interested in the AS61 as well. Mostly how it sounds compared to others in its price range and how it might compare to others that cost more?Does it do anything special sound wise to distinguish itself from its competitors in that price range...
