    Strange noises from new Audioengine A2's

    Wow that is interesting ive been using mine with a FiiO LOD from my iphone 4S and the paper rustling sound is not as pronounced.  It's definitely not distortion either becuase when I put my ear really close to it I can hear like a whoosh of air up inside the cone it's definitely something to do...

    ZO2 Impression Thread

    Ok before reading this thread I was in the FiiO E11 camp but now I'm thinking this Zo version 2 revision 3 might be the answer if I order now will I get the revision 3 of the Zo 2 or will there be a revision 4 when I get the revision 3 of the Zo version 2 is that right?

    Digizoid Zo vs. Fiio e11?

    I was thinking of getting one these for on the go either the Zo or the FiiO E11 but after reading this review here http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64342t I think I would much prefer the FiiO E11.  I think it would be much better combination if you already have bass heavy...

    Strange noises from new Audioengine A2's

    Yea there is still a rustling sound on some tracks but it's not distortion and it isn't anything as bad as when I first got them.  Space was a major concern for me in getting these speakers so they strike a good balance between small size and reasonably good sound quality - I guess you can't...

    Strange noises from new Audioengine A2's

    Hey guys thanks all for your input the paper rustling noise has settled a lot from when I first got them and it only occurs on certain tracks like the one mentioned above so I am fairly content to keep them and can only see them getting better as they have improved imeasurably over the last 3 or...

    Strange noises from new Audioengine A2's

    Hey I have these speakers also (A2) and I get the same thing no matter how low the volume is I still get that paper rustling noise on low frequency tracks or music.  It doesn't sound like distortion but I'm just wondering will this change with break in, I've heard so many people having this...

    E10, new USB DAC ( updated with photos of real E10 )

    I'm using a set of JVC HA M750 with low impedance of about 32 oHMs and it's on low gain and I'm getting plenty of volume.  I guess these headphones are pretty damn easy to drive but they sound pretty impressive for a cheap 'can' - the FiiO E10 has really helped them especially in the bass...

    E10, new USB DAC ( updated with photos of real E10 )

    I set it to 100 % on my computer but to be honest I didn't notice any difference from having volume at 25% and at number 4 on the DAC but I will leave it at your suggested setting and leave the FiiO E10 at the notch between 1 and 2.

    E10, new USB DAC ( updated with photos of real E10 )

    Just experiment with the sound I only put my sound to 25% on my HP Slimline desktop computer and keep the FiiO E10 at notch number 4 and it is perfect for me.  Everybodies different so experiment and see what loudness suits you best.  I mean if I want it louder I usually up the volume on the...

    E10, new USB DAC ( updated with photos of real E10 )

    I really love this new FiiO E10!  It has great bass extension, soundstage and all that jazz and in non-audiophile terms sounds amazing!  Great job FiiO!

    Nuforce uDAC 2 and Bass

    The bass extension is pretty impressive on the FiiO E10, how the hell is FiiO selling this thing so cheap I honestly don't think anything could touch the E10 at this price range or double for that matter :D

    Nuforce uDAC 2 and Bass

    Ok peeps it's all good I ordered the FiiO E10 instead, I ve got it and I love it!  With my JVC HA M750 my head is getting a good pounding with the bass boost on am really happy :D.  It's also really good with the V-Moda Remix and Monster Turbine - sweet!

    Nuforce uDAC 2 and Bass

    You know forget it I think I will strap a subwoofer to my ear, I'm looking for something that will pound my head open like a melon and I will use some spark plugs, some tin foil, paper clips and a toothpick as a DAC - sorted!  I think I will get a really organic Kelloggs crunchy nut cornflake...

    Nuforce uDAC 2 and Bass

    OK will get the Music Streamer II!   I think it get's trashed on here as well so I'm guessing it should be fairly good then and I might throw in some bloated bass cans with my purchase you know the muddy kind with a dark like black beauty sound and harsh like rough gravel treble lol
