What wifi music systems do you use?
I listen to music pretty much from internet stations like spotify, youtube music etc using wifi phone/laptop and using wireless headsets. But looking at various comments on drop, I feel I am obviously missing something. I do not think I want to go back to CDs and wired systems.
What are the some really good wireless music systems I should look at?
I am ok with cost in few thousand USD.

Spotify's highest quality setting is honestly extremely good - some people may be willing to pay the premium for Tidal, but even with the equipment I have, Spotify is satisfactory. If you want good wireless systems, try something with an LDAC connection (like a Topping DX3, D50s, etc) or a wifi streaming solution - the Chromecast audio has been discontinued, but is still available in lots of places, and sounds great as the source for a good amp.

I use my Topping DX3 Pro as a digital receiver and pre-amp to stream TIDAL from my iPhone via the Bluetooth connection (44.1 / 16 bit i.e. CD quality). The DX3 is connected to my integrated amp, so I can then play music via my speakers or headphones.

I also came across Dynaudio Xeo 2 wireless. Seems to be equivalent to KEF LSX. I will go hear them and then decide. Though I missed the sale on KEFs.

zwebI've not listened to the Xeo but I do like Dynaudio designs... should be a good option for an audition.

A streamer with bluetooth would treat you right from a wireless source front to a traditional stereo/home theater. Stuff like Bluesound Node or the amplified version to drive passive speakers work well on the cheaper front. If you want a fully wireless solution(speakers, source, amp and app) the KEF LSX or LS50 wireless are good options (800 to 2200). Higher end wireless sources would be something like Matrix Element M/X, Mytek Brooklyn Bridge, Auralic Altair/Aries and Ifi iDAC Pro

zwebBig drivers with big magnets, high power amps, DSP and an overly built box to keep vibrations down. I always recommend to "buy once, cry once" on subs. Never had a friend complain of too much sub, definitely had some "go cheap" and then complain about too little.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
