    the time of day has lost much of it's relevance. seems a bit disorienting to me. but i'm warming up to it.

    I'm in Spain and it's been very weird. I'm nowhere near ready for retirement and don't think I ever will be! It's been very scary but I'm a lucky one. I usually travel a lot but can also work from home. I'm enjoying a less hectic lifestyle and finding a balance. I think those of us who don't...

    What's the best headphone amp you have heard?

    I'm fairly new to all of this really but it seems from my reading that you need to match your headphones to your amp really? And your own taste? Surely it's subjective? A friend of mine swears by his Pro iCAN (amp) and Pro iDSD (DAC/streamer) stack from iFi audio - he would say that for his...

    iFi audio iSilencer+ and iDefender+

    Hi. Just seen this when replying to the xCAN thread. I have an iMac that I'm probably going to link up to an xDSD and some desktop speakers. The iMac (and my MacBook) are a bit noisy to be honest - a hum as mentioned above - would the iDefender+ work here? I think I've read about Macs in general...

    Best desktop DAC/amp for an old iMac (2015) and average bookshelf speaker?

    Thanks. Mmm get the LPS should help things most definitely. . I was also reading eslewhere that my iMac could potentially have grounding issues as well. I can't say I noticed a hum or buzz before but then I wasn't settled long enough really. Listened to more audio on the move. I need to have a...
