DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. I bought a brand new Perlisten R8s subwoofer and just used for 2 days I found the sub has a serious problem - it automatically turn off while playing music and it's repeated issue. I sent many emails with video and photos to proof that the sub is faulty and asked to return and refund. However they refused. Both product and after service are not acceptable. You can't treat people in this way. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! Show details

Have a high end pc and MacBook Pro connected to an ATEN usb adapter connected to an Audient iD24 which created USB hum and buzz with high power useable. The iDefender Max USC-C recommended by the guys at addicted to audio solved this all the interference issues I was having, fast responses to emails with great customer service 10/10. Delivery was super fast and the quality of the product is top notch! - these guys know their stuff! Show details ·  1

I purchased an amplifier worth around $6000 from Addicted to Audio about a month ago. Around two weeks after my purchase, the price dropped by $800. I contacted the store several times hoping for a partial refund or some form of store credit, but they completely refused to offer any compensation or goodwill gesture. For a retailer in this price… Read more

range and market segment, I expected a more customer-friendly after-sales experience. Unfortunately, this has left me quite disappointed with Addicted to Audio’s service.

I strongly suggest that future customers confirm with the salesperson whether the product is likely to be discounted further within a reasonable period before making a purchase, to avoid the same experience.

Great service is truly measured by the quality of after-sales support, and the experience I received from the team at Addicted to Audio and Mike at Headroom was absolutely exceptional.

outage. After logging the issue with Addicted to Audio, Trent quickly got in touch and guided me through several troubleshooting steps. Once it was determined that the likely cause was a faulty PCB, the repair was assigned to Mike at Headroom. Throughout the process, Trent kept me well informed, including updates around a shipping delay for the replacement part. The communication and customer care exceeded all expectations. Mike personally came onsite to collect the turntable, completed the repair within just a few hours of receiving the part, replaced the PCB, and fully adjusted and recalibrated the unit. As part of the service, he even cleaned the underside and bottom lenses of the turntable. What impressed me most was the level of care and professionalism throughout. Mike returned the turntable the very next day, reconnected everything, and carefully re-levelled it on the shelf. From start to finish, the service from both Addicted to Audio and Headroom was outstanding. I would highly recommend Mike from Headroom, and the team at Addicted to Audio to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely customer-focused support.

Thanks again, Clayton L

FiiO DM13 CD Player Review So why would you want to buy a CD Player in 2025? Maybe you are like me, and have a collection of CDs you want to listen too again. Or maybe you are a CD newbie and want to experience the uncompressed audio excellence you can get from a CD compared to compressed audio from streaming MP3s. Maybe your old CD player has… Read more ·  1

stopped working and you want a new one. Whatever your reason, you are lucky as there has been a wave of new CD players come onto the market. One of these players is the delightful FiiO DM13.

The FiiO DM13 Portable CD Player is a featured-packed, quality unit. It has a truly balanced audio architecture featuring two flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips paired with two low-noise HiFi SGM8262 headphone amps. It has very flexible functionality and can be used integrated into your hifi system, on your desk, on your couch, or even as you walk about town, or ride on a train, plane or bus. The sound quality is good, with the typical FiiO clean and neutral sonic signature. It has enough power to drive most headphones, in either single-ended or balanced mode, through its 3.5mm and 4.4mm sockets. If you purchase the DM13 BT version you also can connect via Bluetooth with aptX.

The line out sockets can operate in balanced mode via a 4.4mm socket, or in single-ended mode via a 3.5mm socket, both conveniently located on the rear of the unit. The 3.5mm line out socket also doubles as an optical out, or coaxial out, by the use of special adaptors. So you can just use it as a CD transport and connect it to an external DAC. Just be aware the analog line out is VARIABLE not FIXED. So the volume setting on the player will affect the output to your amplifier - so use a little caution. The digital out via Coaxial or Optical, is FIXED, so unaffected by the volume level on the CD player.

There is also a second USB C socket on the rear which allows you to rip CD to your computer or external drive. But you can not use either USB C connection to use the unit as a external DAC/Dongle - you can only use the DM13 with CDs.

In short - it looks good, sounds good and has great functionality. Combine all this with the relatively low cost and you get one impressive little player - and portable at that! The rechargeable batteries will give you 7-8 hours listening time.

Whether to breathe life back into your old CD collection, or as a first step into the world of CDs, the FiiO DM13 is fun and functional, with a bit of retro flair. Well-built, flexible, easy to use, and delivering excellent sonic performance. It made me grab a stack of my old CDs, pile them up with the player on the arm of my couch, and spend a few wonderful hours listening to disc after disc. No streaming, no playlists, no suggested tracks, no skipping or shuffling - just the tactile experience of inserting a disc, closing the lid and enjoying the music.

It will take its place integrated into my system. Primarily via analog line out into my Bluesound PowerNode, and secondarily with my dedicated headphone system. But sometimes just sitting beside me, hooked up to a pair of headphones, while I am wrapped in nostalgic bliss working my way through a pile of CDs - and loving it!

Summary Pros: * Good construction and elegant simplicity in design * True balanced audio architecture * Support for both Single-ended and Balanced headphones * Very flexible digital and analog output options * Very good sound quality * Supports aptX on bluetooth model * Affordable

Cons: * Can not be used as a USB DAC/Amp * Cover could open a little wider to make it easier to insert/remove CDs * No case * No remote * No LDAC support on Bluetooth model

Addicted to Audio came through in the end, but only after I lodged a complaint with Fair Trading NSW. It's disappointing that it had to come to that, but credit where credit is due they did come through in the end and repaired the headset. Personally, I'd still look elsewhere before purchasing from them again, but hopefully your experience is… Read more

Original Review Below:

Avoid Addicted to Audio at all costs.

Bought a pair of Audeze Maxwell's. About 1 year 4 months into owning them, the right side stopped working. Unfortunately for me, these were 3-4 months over the 12 month warranty (which is a JOKE for "premium" headphones.) But consumer guarantees should protect me right? Paying $500 for a set of headphones you'd expect them to last a lot longer than a measly ~16 months.

Interestingly enough, about 3 months before I purchased, Audeze (the manufacturer) changed warranty from 3 years to 1 year, and if you look online, this isn't an uncommon problem. Seems to me they knew something was up and are trying to "legally" wash their hands of any wrongdoing.

Have lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading.

Take your money elsewhere to retailers who actually care.

A BIG THANK YOU to Mary, for your instant response, when I asked her to deal with the issue of a broken dustcover for my newly purchased record player. She promptly sourced a brand new replacement, and I happily received this in perfect condition. Spinning some of my old and recent vinyl with much joy …. Definitely will continue to use Addicted to Audio for some of my future additions to my HiFi !! Show details ·  1

Sim Audio Moon 110lp v2, Phono, buyer be aware !! I did try and post this on the ATA web site but to no avail. I got this product back in August of 2025, worked fine for a few months then the trouble started. I did some renovations and I moved and covered my HI Fi rack and only disconnected from the wall socket ands made sure it was all… Read more

covered and dust proofed. After I finished I plugged it all back in and all light up as normal, BUT once I put a record onto the turn table and started plating , the right hand channel did not output any sound. after pressing the panic button and some trouble shooting It turned out the Phono Stage was to blame. Checking all connections (bare in mind nothing was disconnected from each of the components) eventually i got the right channel to work. I called in to the shop in town and was to some extent palmed off , OHH thats odd no idea etc , keep an eye on it and so on. Answer etc. Today during a listening session out of nowhere the right channel dropped out again, this time it was almost permanent except for some crackle and brief sound that come out from the right side. I was told to take it in to the appropriate warranty place to have it fixed. This is a product of about 7 months old with very little use, and all the good reviews etc it turns out to be a lemon. Im no stranger to hi fi and so on, But be aware when considering the Moon 110LP V2, It is interesting to note this item has been discounted by over 300 dollars, if its so good why such a massive price drop ? I am not a happy customer and at this age and small amount of use, it should have been replaced not fixed.

I have been a loyal Addicted to Audio customer for more than a decade. My first purchase was a pair of DT770s 13 years ago and I still own them. Sadly, the level of service I used to rely on just is not there anymore. My latest purchase, the iFi Pro iDSD Signature, arrived with several faults. It would sometimes refuse to boot with a Tube Error,… Read more

there was static through SPDIF, and the analogue outputs produced no signal. Because these faults were intermittent, I was worried my RMA request would be dismissed. [Name Removed] reassured me that it was still worth sending in and that the warranty team would consider the video evidence I provided.

When I dropped the unit off, I met Lewis in store. He was pleasant enough in person, but over email his tone was very condescending. He ignored the videos entirely, insisted the problem was user error (to put it politely), and even made a false claim that the unit was running outdated firmware.

[Name Removed] stepped in again and organised a replacement. While the replacement works, it was not a new unit. The packaging was damaged, which matters to me because I like to keep both the gear and the packaging in mint condition. The packaging I returned to them did not have a single tear in it. The replacement unit also had marks on the body and a cross on the top made with some kind of permanent marker that does not fully come off. Functional, yes, but not what I expect for the price I paid.

After spending thousands with A2A over more than a decade, this experience has made me think twice about buying from them again. Things were simply better when George and Guillaume were running the place.
