Thanks @yyzsantabarbara but I’m in UK.

I went for the GaN1 + Bluesound Node combo.  Unfortunately, it’s not for me. Too anaemic/clinical for my liking. I really don’t like the restriction of the single input of the GaN1.  OK if I could find a front end that ticks all my boxes, but the...

@kokakolia is MoFi a US brand?   They’re made in China. Absolutely no justification for the price difference.

Thanks @kitsap2 I'll have another look when I get back home.  I’m working overseas at the moment & get home every other weekend, so it will be 2 weeks. I’m sure I didn’t see that option, but I’ll look again.  It could be an Apple restriction....

Hi @jetter  A few things, but the main issues : - I use Spotify.  I hit Music Services & I see Spotify in the list & click on it. I get a banner Install Spotify.   Hit it, it just takes me to Spotify on my iPad. It doesn’t install it on ...

Thanks @evank .   I’ve not used a laptop for years.   Just an iPad.     I find the BluOS app very poor.   Is there a better alternative for iPhone/iPad?

My GaN1 + Node arrived.   Been playing about 4 hours, letting them run in. It’s my 1st time using the Node.   The BluOS app is hideous.   Surely there’s a better alternative?

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for the Qualio.   Won’t be pursuing the Mofi at UK prices.

Ah QualiO, not QualiA.      4ohm.   I just received my GaN1 + Node, so unfortunately the Qualio are off the table.

@ricevs can you please post a link to this Qualia IQ thread? I searched it, but the only hit is this thread.

Well I’m no scientist. My Particle Physicist daughter has a Fellowship at CERN, so it’s in my genes/jeans.   I always thought the measure of good Amp design was how the thing sounded. Have I got it wrong?   I’m no psychologist either, but when...

$3699 = £3064.   So if it were VAT @ 20%, that’s £3677 Still £823 or $992 to account for.   UK dealers want money for nothing.  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
I just made an enquiry for these in UK.   £4500!   That’s $5440!!!!!!   That’s $1741 more than the Crutchfield price.       If this was a US made product I could understand, but they’re coming from China.   This is the very reason I never step ...
