    Looking for a s simple headphones amp to use with a CD player

    Thanks for your offer. I assume you're in the US, shipping cost to the EU will unfortunately kill any savings :( Yes, exactly. It might be possible to permanently plug it to an outlet with a phone charger, but I'm unsure how good that is for rechargeable batteries life. Mentioned this one...

    Looking for a s simple headphones amp to use with a CD player

    Thank you, I will check it out. Thank you. Doesn't seem to be available to his country. But I'll search elsewhere. Thanks. Not entirely sure what this means. He wants something that can just be plugged to an outlet. The portable ones appear to me like they need to be recharged every time. I...

    Looking for a s simple headphones amp to use with a CD player

    Hi, A friend of mine (I swear it's not me!) has a large CD collection, and due to marital restrictions, he can only listen to them with headphones connected directly to his Onkyo CD player.

    Amir's 2023 Pacific Audio Fest Report Day 2

    Great reading and seeing all the posts. These kind of shows make me wonder if there is really room/market for so many expensive brands.

    SMSL SU-1 Stereo DAC Review

    I have read it, thanks. Was just making sure I'm understanding it right. Not like there seem to be any other option with just one USB port.
