Talking about tips, I have experimented with some models and brands. SQ: Supertips Foam (bassier, more clarity, more sibilance) >= Tx200s (less bass, bit muffled, hardly sibilant) > Tsx200s (muffled highs and spacing) Isolation: Supertips Foam>Tsx200s>Tx200s Comfort: Tx200s>Tsx200s>Supertips...

Be the Ultimate Gaga Weird shape aside, It seems bulky and will probably look protruding from jeans or the inner pocket of suits. People who really care about portability now face another HM901 dilemma.

It is out. http://www.calyx.kr/

calyx: The output power is 70mW+70mW @ 16Ohm

For Comply tips, i would suggest TS200 or T200, not TX series as TXs have wax guard in the hole that could mess up the mids and highs.

I just got this pair of jewels, which revives the dynamics of my music again. :) I have been enjoying Nami for 5 hours non stop and now feeling an urge to compare it with my Fitear 334. The initial impression did wow me, but still I will hold my urge and give it more time to run in.

I did the test a few days ago. I had MKII's system folder replace mine. It was to no avail. SQ remained the same. If left me wondering how exactly the firmware update identifies MKII.

I don't see much danger in doing it and don't mind giving it a shot. A kind MKII user said he would offer help, and I will be able to do the test by this weekend. Definitely I will share the file with you guys if my speculation is correct.

I don't think so. That's why we need generous MKII users to share their system folder, and we copy it to our modded device to let the update installation recognize ours as MKIIs.

I can read Chinese characters so it's easy for me to grasp what the iRiver JP official page is saying. Still, I provide the relevant links and translation if you need.   From iRiver JP MK II Product page:   主な変更點 出力インピーダンスを3Ωに変更 (※通常のAK100は出力インピーダンス22Ω) AK100...

Dear AK100 MK II users out there, I have a favor to ask from you. According to Iriver official, MK II firmware is specially tuned, and it is included in the SAME firmware file to download for regular AK100. On the official page, it says the file would automatically detect if the hardware is...

OK, we've all seen the poster with 75% of the device disclosed. Now, here's the fully exposed one????? I saw it from a Chinese forum http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2711916685 He mentioned X5 is superior than X3 in transparency, details and resolution but with bass toned down by comparison.  ...

poignant sentence lurks at the end...

Is any AK100 MK II user out there willing to port the firmware? It is specially tuned and might suit RWAK100 as well since they both got the impedence lowered. I am desperate to try how it sounds on RWAK. Please!

Quote:   Yes, it's 334-W6s from Tube Fan Studio. I love this cable for not only the sound, but its portability, extremely soft for a multi-wire silver cable. Pity that the overall tonality is more to the warm side, which is definitely enjoyable for extended listening but not for my case...
