Music, like photography, should be fun.

Ever had the feeling that you can't be a proper photographer if you're not using a large sensor camera? Well in the world of music things are even tougher. It's bad enough that you want to listen to digital music at all, what you should really be listening to is vinyl. If you must listen to the digital stuff then it should at least be in a high definition file format.

Well here's an alternative suggestion for a fun way to listen. Spotify's high quality downloads from a Samsung S3 (or whatever) via a usb otg cable to Epiphany acoustic's e-dac & O2 headphone amp. Plug in your favourite headphones and enjoy. Smashing. A comprehensive library of your choice of music (mine's jazz and folk) has never been so available or affordable, and don't let them tell you the sound is rubbish. As a teenager I had an Alba record player so, believe me, I know how rubbish sounds.
