Hi guys I'm back in hospital again been here for a week and I'll probably be here for at least another couple , I use my phone or my iPad as my main music source using Spotify or YouTube . How are you ONKYO which worked really well on the whole, but I was wondering is there anything I can add to my phone can I run my phone through something is is the download . My bushmaster DAC is in for repair at the moment but I was wondering is there anything I can do to connect direct to the phone for some kind of a better audio quality . thanks.

Hi James. Really sorry to hear you're in hospital again. I hope you get better real soon. I wish I could help with the sonics but the only thing I've foundd that makes my phone sound better is turning the ringer off!

Hope the hospital visit goes well.
My Pilates teacher uses his phone into a cheap looking box with amp and speakers. Looks like it is built for a phone. Sound is not as bad as I would have guessed. No where near hifi quality but ok

I bought a Topping headphone amp which was quite reasonably price (under £50) and it makes a lot of difference to the sound from my iPod and phone.
Hope you are better very soon.

So I've just purchased the Topping NX2, I wanted the NX4 but it seems to only be amazon that sells it but it was the delivery from China that put me off as you never know when it is going to arrive. The bearsford headphone amp was a good option, but I wanted it for listening on the go, so that didn't work out. The Oppo looks like a beautiful piece of kit, but a bit outside of my price range at the moment. The Topping was £32 in the end. Should be here in a couple of days, so I'll let you know how it goes. www.tpdz.net/en/products/nx2/

I found it a lot more rounded than my iPad, iPod or iPhone, although it took a little time warm up per se. Initially I wasn't sure there was much of an improvement, but once it had warmed up it seemed to continually improve.
