Which portable audio player supports the most digital formats?
A new Android smartphone or one with an app could easily support all of those formats. Maybe a USB C dongle with a headphone out...although those are rarely implemented well and lack in terms of sound quality and output power...so look carefully. ... 
PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12
What @erik_squires said ✔ Also a good brand...but compared to what I'm using now, I would never go back. Copycats on the market...audiophle-targeted brands often copy each other. That's why what I use is protected by 3 U.S. patents.  Noise filt... 
Hello Guys,
@pedroeb I was using the mobile version of the site on my phone. That's why. Sorry about your precious eyes.  
PS Audio Power Plant P3 to P12
In this case, I agree with Amir and ASR 100%. Can’t fake these measurements. Audio component reviews...not so much. Check out the Bantam Vanguard PP18004A ... I use it and it really works. Check out his GR research power cable review as well. It's...

Hello Guys,
@vonhelmholtz  Now that's kind of a strange recommendation. Not using a power conditioner with audio gear. Check this page out: A power conditioner is a device used to... The unit that I am using does all of these things and more. That's why wh... 
Hello Guys,
@vonhelmholtz  Performance-specific claims about dramatic or even unbelievable improvements in YOUR audio system. The question then becomes...how do they know? Well they don’t know. It’s the imagination of their marketing departments. the manufac... 
Hello Guys,
@rohlim Check out my profile to see what I’m using. Send me a message if interested. Mega-buck power conditioners are rather large power transformers that may clean dirty power to some extent, but they use a significant amount of power to do t... 
Tube or solid state
solid-state for me. But nothing against tubes. it's great that we can hear differences between different types of FETs etc. with solid-state amps.   
Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio?
@donquichotte You’re most welcome. The power transformers in audio gear are of varying quality and can influence performance in profound ways. I don’t believe the same is true for PSUs in computers. I don’t think a PSU in computer would influen... 
Analyzing DACs
@jjss49  no need to further belabor this already tortured subject of measurement vs listening for dacs- the credible folks on this particular forum listen to music, evaluate gear through listening, measurements are of relatively minor significan... 
sound difference
Whether or not your son can hear a difference between amplifiers in this case would be dependant on how resolving/neutral the speakers are. Some speakers have their own sonic character. Others are like chameleons that conform to the sound quality... 
old school jbl speakers
If you find JBL speakers with the horn system and woofers that resemble TAD studio monitors from the 90s, they will be neutral, somewhat warm, but accurate. Nearly as good as the real TADs. To be honest with you, it depends on the particular mode...

Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio?
@donquichotte More expensive/higher standard power supplies just mean they are more efficient in terms of power consumption overall. They produce less heat, may last longer, and sometimes improve overall system performance (in the case that you ...
