Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Improve my sound

[v2k]

You've got many good suggestions already. I'd like to add headphones.
With out knowing what you want to improve a lot of the time IME when
people want improvement they want more. Now you might be happy with your
current speakers and/or actually care about your neighbours, if so
consider a headphone amp and a nice pair of phones.

I recently replaced my Khadas tone board with a Chord Qutest
https://chordelectronics.co.uk/product/qutest and am very pleased with
it - I have a CXN 2 which is also very good , I can choose whether to
play using the CXN directly into my amp or to pipe it through the Qutest
- to be honest they are both so good I can't tell the difference



We can't stop here this is bat country. RIP Hunter S Thompson.
