    Nexus 10 - Poor Headphone Measurements

    Gsmarena's long awaited measurements have finally been posted on the Nexus 10 tab, and I'm sorry to say that the results are pretty disappointing (to put it nicely) for those of us who tend to prefer android over ios.  The THD with headphones plugged in is just shockingly bad - 30x that of the...

    I have been using EAC to rip to FLAC, but I am having a repeated issue with the loss of the last few seconds of a significant number of tracks.

    Has anyone removed the 2move logo?

    The in your face branding on the top of the case is the only thing holding me back from placing my order. I've seen a fair bit of theoretical discussion on these forums as to the possible means of scrubbing (or god forbid sanding) it off. Has anyone done so successfully? Thanks in advance.

    Question re Cmoy & Beyer DT 880's

    I've got a simple question for you experts - will a cmoy w/ a Texas Instruments Burr Brown Opamp 2227 adequately drive a pair of BeyerDynamic DT 880's (250 ohm) for mobile purposes? I'm looking at entry level/budget options. Is this at all viable, or would I be doing myself a disservice in...
