Re: Streaming for a dummy.
No problem with the Bushmaster output driving the nighthawks at all, in fact they work ok just connected to my macbook, but better with an amp. I guess my question is, can the Airport express be bettered as a way of feeding the DAC? I don't see anyones signature on any forum using one, hence the que...

Streaming for a dummy.
At present i’m using an Apple Airport express into a Beresford Bushmaster MK11 with Audioquest Nighthawk headphones which i absolutely bloody love (thanks Fretless :grin: ) and source is Spotify premium via a MacBook air/, iPad or iPhone.

Re: Headphone and amp advice.
I won the auction on the Audioquest Nighthawks for £185 which is a little more than i wanted to pay but they look as new and have both cables, case and 2 sets of ear pads, so not too bad i guess. Amp wise, i'm going order a Beresford Capella, mainly because of the price and the various adjustments i...

Re: Headphone and amp advice.
Thanks for the replies! Jeeze, I really didn’t think it’d be this hard to choose some headphones, its a bloody minefield! But, i’ve put a cheeky bid on a pair of Audioquest Nighthawks and if thats rejected i’ll probably for go for the Meze 99. The only problem with the Nighthawks is that people seem...

Headphone and amp advice.
I’m currently using Sennheiser HD558 which to be honest are lacking in pretty much all departments and even my Turtle Beach gaming headset wins hands down in comparison. Sources are either through a MF X-cans, bushmaster DAC or what sounds best to me is direct into my Sony X555ES CD player, which i’...

Re: Interesting how some integrate audio into their living space?
Is there a reason apart from willy waving to show your system pictures on a forum. What a ridiculous thing to say. Yes, of course there is, some people enjoy home built equipment, say a pair of speakers or suchlike and like to share their hard work with others. Willy waving is probably the last thi...

Re: Turntable s
Nothing special here, just a butchered £15 TT shelf from Gumtree that i welded and sprayed to look a bit more eye friendly, then added some spikes and a granite chopping board and finally a plywood base. Does it sound better than being sat on a rack? I think so, and certainly doesn't suffer from foo...
