BA Duo-I System v HD radio I'm looking at getting my gf a good clock radio with ipod dock being a bonus. I have a DAB radio alarm (HD in UK) and I love the sound.Is the BA Duo's sound on par with that of a HD sound?I'm asuming that DAB in the USA is known as HD radio?Thanks.

Hi TDonn, thanks for that, very interesting and VERY helpful. I've heard a Bose Wave clock radio before (before DAB) and it filled the shop!!! If this is anywhere close to that sound then I will buy it.Thanks againNic

I bought one about 5 years ago....and it was sounding very good...till about a year ago....and started sounding scratchy at times....like static...thought it was my ipod....but it wasn't...I bought an "R.W. AUDIO AMP 1"...headphone amp...and it sounds excellent....not as much volume as the Bravo...but loud enough to give you a headache...and crystal clear with a very flat response....

Well, you are in luck...I own one of each. I purchased the Stanmore first and ran it for 10+ hours a day for better than a week to break it in. It sounded fantastic. I put my iPod in Jazz mode for best response. I bought the Hanwell after as I am going to put one at our cabin. The Hanwell has better bass and the vocals sound better. The bluetooth on the Stanmore has poor range... If I had to choose just one to keep of the two, it would be the Hanwell. If I want bluetooth, with better range I might add, I just plug in my bluetooth receiver from Belkin.Hope that helps...

I live in San Jose, California, where we have several HD radio stations. I tried hooking up my Audiovox IHDP01A using my auxiliary jack in my car. The stations either didn't play or if they did, they only played for a few seconds, then were lost. Good luck.

We have sold both units you're asking about for years and they are both wonderful! Both have good pre-amps and are built well. And both work well with all of the current DAWs. Don't stress, either will serve you well!

Hello: I do believe "Beats" speakers are referencing the brand created by rap mogul, Dr. Dre. The Monster Clarity HD system is a totally different brand. I purchased this system a few months ago and I'm very happy with the sound fidelity...good, crisp and clear separation of the bass and treble. It can also function as a PA system! Only down-side is the remote doesn't have a "reverse" or "FF" option (like an IPod). You have to skip/repeat the entire song if you wanted to re-listen to a chord/verse/beat...not a big deal if your not a musician (I play drums so I like to be able to pause/go back a few seconds to review a pattern). Quality cabinets (resin-type plastic I believe) with contemporary design, studio-quality R-L power cord and very compact so it'll fit just about anywhere in a room. Bottom line: I would recommend this as a buy if you like hi-fidelity from your IPad or IPod.

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

Sorry, I don't have any idea, in response to your question. I am very untechnological, just had to buy the hd radio over 3 years ago so that I could get my local classicalmusic station after they relocated their antenna to a different part of the city, making it impossible for listeners in some areas to get reception. Someone hooked it up to my regularradio for me so that I could get the station. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer or another source for technological questions.

I contacted Boston Acoustics to get the real scoop. I was told that a B suffix on a BA product indicated a refurbished unit. I said that I did not think that Amazon would charge a premium for a refurbished unit. No response. I'm still confused but seriously considering a Zvox 555 instead - also offerred by Amazon.

I have the Dragonfly, and also better DAC/amps. I recommend something better than the Dragonfly with these headphones. They are good enough that you will be able to appreciate the difference a better dac/amp can make. I have the Resonessence Concero HP. It's quite awesome, and starkly better than my Dragonfly, but a lot more expensive. For a bit more than the price of the DF, you'd probably get a lot more quality if you get the Meridian Explorer, or the Audioengine D3, or the iFi. I haven't tried these three, but based on my Resonessence vs DF experience, I do know the HP50s are good enough to reveal the difference, so don't miss out by getting a low-tier DAC.

Please help me figure this out. I understand they are now shipping a newer B version. Does the Karman kardon GO + PLAY (B version) charge the classic ipod 6th generation? Any information would be much appreciated.

There are no dumb questions. I don't use that app. The sound that the ND8630 re broadcast is of outstanding volume and quality. Both from my self recorded, and downloaded music on an old Ipod. I have added on a single recording over 15 hours of CD's. It's outstanding.

I just purchased the Nuvi 350. I went to a location and looked at the 350 and the 550 side by side. The Nuvi is much smaller, lighter and easier to handle. The mount contains a power connection, so you dont have to unplug the unit every time you remove it, the power is provided by the mount. It has a single speaker (so stereo), but you are not purchasing a boom box, you are buying a navigator. The internal speaker is louder than the 550 (I tried them side by side.) There is a headset plug in for headphones for the MP3 player or you can connect it to the aux input of your stereo. The nuvi, imho, is a better unit than the streetpilot.

I don't have any experience with the dragonfly, but I can tell you that for zoned sound, SONOS is terrific. I have been using their stuff for almost 3 years, and will continue to change out older technology for their product as older equipment fails. The clarity of both the amplified signal, as well as the preamp-only version is very good. If you are looking for audiophile/serious listening with, say $5000 invested in a pair of speakers, then this is not what you want. For everything else, SONOS is a very high-quality solution.

I am playing it right now, in Solana Beach, CA. Sliding glass door is wide open. Great tunes coming out and sounding good. I just leave the iPod Classic in the cradle all the time I am here. Be sure to turn the iP37BB off. Battery charges while at play or rest. Not sure what kind of adaptor you think that you need. This unit is very simple to use and has very good sound for its' size.

Kae, I haven't heard the DT-770, but what I can tell you is the Beoplay H6 is a polar opposite of all consumer headphones on the market (beats and bose etc) they are VERY bass lite and are amazingly well balanced. They are not "clinical" or overly bright, they just sound right. It is the recordings pureness that defines the sound with these. There is no coloring or tilt to the sound. I can compare them to my custom UE-4pros and they share a very close sound signature!! I would suggest that you try them out and return them to amazon if you don't like the sound. I give these a 5/5 for sound!!!

Fostex was the very first company to introduce portable headphone dac and after reading reviews on Head-fi.org i was tempted to buy one. I am glad i didChoose Hp-p1 as it was a best sounding portable amp. Today we have better choices as other brands are introducing better amps. Also all fostex units are japan made with highest quality, i would wait for hp-v1 tube amp comming up later this year.if you want hifi music player + dual dac, you can check Astell&kern; AK120. I just bought one from korea and it is awsome.
