Is that the enormous black power amp between the speakers? Lol.

This is my portable system for listening when away from home.
I do have files on my phone and MP3 players, but still prefer a CD player.
I recently bought the DT990ā€™s to upgrade my out of listening room headphones and once they settled in they sound great.
The Panasonic CD player is 27 years old and still playing, but the batteries donā€™t recharge. I have just started thinking about getting a new player (internal batteries, charges via USB and plays other files than WAV).
But I discovered none of the big companies make them any moreā€¦

Wow - I havenā€™t seen a portable CD player for over 20 years! I could never got on with them as they all seemed to eat batteries and skipped at the slightest jolt. Surely a decent digital player, or even just a simple mobile phone, must be better than this. More convenient, better battery life, no skipping, higher quality files, more storageā€¦

Plenty to choose from, Iā€™d have thought. My Sony has a long battery life, charges from USB and plays all the usual popular audio formats.

Looks great. Where did you get the CR3 serviced, Iā€™m looking to service an MR1?

Which sound do you prefer?

Vintage HiFi, Pioneer CT-F850 cassette deck. I havenā€™t used it for many years, but it has had an honorable career and in my opinion it was very beautiful indeed!

Maybe a bit more meaty with the nucleus but a whole lot fasterā€¦ now trying to work out how to copy my music to the internal ssdā€¦ not as slick as innuos operating system thatā€™s for sure

On a Macā€¦ ā€˜goā€™ in finder menu bar. Take the ā€˜connect to serverā€™ option from the drop down menu. Enter Smb://nucleus.local to mountā€¦ you can sign on as a guest.
Should show a storage folder inside which you will see an internal storage folder to which you can drag and drop.

Ssd needs to be formated by roon before use though which is done through the web interface of the nucleus not on roon itselt.

I recently had to purchase a new set of HifiMan Sundara headphones; my old HifiMan HE400se had one of the driver yokes crack, which an online search revealed to be a not uncommon problem with them as they were a hard plastic apparently lacking some in tensile strrength. These are metal and hopefully will fare better.

Yep - that seems to be the situation - though Akai and Aiwa are still available.
