After more than four years of posting this thread my earphones are still working perfectly. I originally bought them them from Westone I believe in 2011, relatively shortly after they were first released. I had a replacement sent from Westone before the warranty period expired which means that...

It has been almost half a year since I submerged my earphones in alcohol and discovered the unlikely solution to BA failures.  I'm happy to report that both pieces still work perfectly.  I'm curious if anybody else tried this.  I think it would be very helpful if you could report it here, so...

Depends on which view you are in, but it's at the top right corner, you press the three vertical dots, and then Sort...

I really liked the UI of foobar as well and the only thing that holds me from using it is the lack of EQ.   Some useless info: 24bit/192khz or worse yet 32bit/384khz used for listening is one of the biggest jokes the industry.  Somebody is making money and enjoying their time in the Bahamas...

Whoa...this thread has grown since the last time I did a search for k701 headband mods.  My k702 has gone through several modifications since then and I think I've finally come up with something worth posting, so here it is.  Maybe it can help somebody to save some money and continue to enjoy...

This is part 3 of my testing of music players  on Android.  My first post is here http://www.head-fi.org/t/638387/best-android-music-player-app/420#post_12607442.   I spent some more time with the players today and decided to update my table.     USB Audio Player PRO: I was able to test...

When I was searching for different players to test I came across it and really wished to try it, but unfortunately the developer doesn't have a trial version.  Looks really nice from the photos.  I understand that everybody has to pay the bills, but out of all the players I've tried, I think...

I'm posting my EQ settings, in case anybody is interested for Westone UM3X and possibly ES3X.   Frequency    60    100    240    500    1k    1.8k    3.4k    5.7k    9k    13k dB                 0       -2      -3        0       0       3         7         7       0       7 preamp    -7  ...

They must not be showing because my phone is not rooted.  Ah, this complicates things! lol  I think I'll stick for now with the stock ROM as I'm still waiting for a stable version of CM13.  Just to let you know that you are my friend now on this awesome forum.

I couldn't agree more with everything you said Joe.  Putting this FIR vs IIR aside, which to me is a moot argument, I really loved the fluidity of the EQ in Onkyo as I mentioned in my first post here on this thread.  I only wished that it allowed the export of a preset, because if possible I...

I've decided to stick with jetAudio for now.  On my phone I get some weird sound behavior by the default settings, but disabling AGC, HRA sound engine, resume fade in/out, track change crossfades and setting for gapless gives the desired effect of sublime playback experience.  I did get a few...

"I don't think for normal EQ curves this matters at all."  NORMAL here being the key word.  Plug-ins for mastering software should have the ability to choose both, as can be seen on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efKabAQQsPQ .  Room correction software, and especially the high...

I don't think for normal EQ curves this matters at all.  Both have the potential to create distortions, and they slightly differ where they would do it along the time line, but I think neither can be considered more precise than the other.  Lowering the preamp gain should take care of it in both...

Isn't this a warm and comforting thought, having one player sounding better than another...  Still it is hard to argue, but I am from the camp that has all my music in 16/44.1 lossless, accept the limits of human hearing, and blame the sound engineers for not properly mixing when a 24/192...

I spent some more time with the players, and I tried a few others, and made a comparison table.  As a short note, this whole testing was inspired by the inability of my phone (Galaxy S5) to play gaplessly after I updated to 6.0.1.  In my opinion if Samsung didn’t screw it up, the whole exercise...
