I’m looking to try openback headphones for the first time and want a shortlist to go and audition. My budget is up to $250 and I’m looking to wear them while I work (draft/design) at my computer. I have tried closes back headphones but don’t like the isolation from the environment. I thought open back will give we an immersive musical experience without feeling isolated. Comfort is important and I would like a pretty lively and spacious sound. I would love any recommendations from those with experience to include on my list and thoughts about the following: Grando SR80e ( not sure they will be comfy?) Audio Technica AD700. Akg 240 Seinheiser 58x ( on sale at addicted to audio) Thanks

I haven’t compared bluetooth versions, but when I looked into buying the bludento reciever, reviewers etc suggested the better Bluetooth codec helps music quality and signal strength. If your source device doesn’t support aptX codec then the Bluetooth receiver reverts to lower quality so the signal quality is limited by your source. I use iOS devices which sends an AAC signal to my bludento and to my ears it sounds as good as a cable connection.

I bought a Bludento BLT HD Bluetooth receiver from amazon and it’s great. It supports aptXHD if your computer sends that? Otherwise it reverts to the standard Bluetooth signal. Has a good dac in it too.

I was also looking for a Bluetooth receiver so decided to try the Bludento BLT-HD, after reading this thread. I have just hooked it up directly to my Rega brio amp and playing music from a little Cayin DAP and have to say that I am very happy. For $120 au its a great way to get Bluetooth into my system.

This may be a silly question? I have an RCA cable coming out of my amp that I sometimes plug into a portable dac . When the cable is unused (i.e. not connect to the dac) I don't unplug it from he amp ( its too hard to get behind the amp in my cabinet) and just leave the cable in my cabinet with the RCA connectors not plugged into anything. Is this bad practice and are there covers for rca plugs when your not using them? I know there are covers for the rca outputs at the amp itself but what about covers for the end of a cable plugged into the amp?

Digital Playback Help/Insight Sought
DdDesign replied to Digital Man's topic in Digital Sources, DACs, and Computer Audio
How about the yamaha np s303? It pretty much does what the wxc50 does but has a screen and looks more like a conventional hifi component. Cost around $700 -
Digital Playback Help/Insight Sought
DdDesign replied to Digital Man's topic in Digital Sources, DACs, and Computer Audio
Would the Yamaha wxc50 work for you? Cost is around $400 and you can put your files on a Usb directly into the device. You do have to control it from a phone, tablet or computer though. I haven't got one but considering to get one. -
Yamaha WXC-50 with Dynaudio Excite X14A

I don't believe it has usb output. Just usb input. I too would like that as an option. -
Are electronics sensitive to temperature?
DdDesign replied to DdDesign's topic in General Hi-Fi & Beginners Discussion
Well, the player is now randomly skipping, warmed up or not. It's under warranty, so I'll send it back to the service agent again to look it over. I feel your pain Anne Marie Robertson, Rega are not generous with returns and will only do returns within 14days of purchase, thereafter it must be sent to a service agent for repair.
