Just notice that ROC's End Of Sale date will be Nov 2010.   From Audio-Gd English main page:    Quote:   and from the Chinese main page:   Quote:   It says that there will be no successor product to the above discontinued products.

  Quote:   Different drivers ??  Duno. But both phones have the same specification.   I just want to say that I feel they sound quite differently.  

Quote: If you give me a blind test with the two headphones, I shall identify them as headphones with different drivers and different specifications.  

Quote: oh... sorry, I have not listened to M5.  My above comments refer to Cowon iAudio4, iAudio5, D2, S9.

I don't think the sound quality of Cowon (with all its EQ off) can beat HM-801 in any way.   Cowon can sound good with appripriate EQ settings but this is a different sound favour from HM-801.

StepDance is better than the amp section of Hifiman. I am using HM-801 with StepDance for listening in office and love the sound output from this combination.    Quote:

@cooperpwc :   For me, whether there is volume adjustment swing depends on the line out of the player. For HM-801 normal line out, I can only listen to a short time even at a minimum level since the volume is too loud for me.   For another player, I can have volume adjustment swing 9:00-11:00...

With ES5 (a very sensitive iem) and the amp set at low gain, I only start hearing some hiss noise if I turn the volume past 2:00. However I probably only listen to volume level without passing 11:00 when using ES5.   For battery compartment, the main thing that I need to get used to is that...

Just received StepDance. I quickly went to buy a 9V battery and had a brief listen through ES5. The first impression was the volume is too large for me even at its mininum level. Fortunately when reading the manual, I discovered that the amp is set at high gain by default.   After setting it...

May be they are like D2000 and D5000. Their spec are the same:     * Isolation: -10dB     * Driver Type: Dynamic     * Ear Coupler Type: Full-Size     * Sensitivity: 106dB/mW     * Impedance @ 1kHz: 25     * Headphone Type: Full Size     * Acoustic Seal: Closed   But D5000 has a...

Just got mine.   In the first hour of listening, I already like it very much. However since this is my first CM, I have nothing to compare to.   I am listening through Sony M10 and the volume being set is 3 / 30 (I used to listen with a low volume level comparing to others). I hope that ...

From the rating, they seems OK. More diamond icons mean more good ratings. The last one has upgraded cable and therefore more expensive.   The first one is located in Shaghai. The second and third sellers locate in Nanjing and Beijing respectively. If you are going to stay two or three...

Should be for Upsampling ...   Quote:  

Just wonder if it is using Asynchronous USB mode or using normal USB mode with DSP to correct any jitter problem.   Moreover, duno if it's performance will be affected by the DC power supply and whether a good DC power supply will be available as an option.

From the pic, the input seems to be 100V-240V. I shall buy it with the HE-5 LE cable later.   BTW, just curious to know the following: - Is the charging time the same as the original power supply since they are both 1A?  - Is this new power supply (may be a switching one) affects...

I briefly listened to MX980 in an audio shop yesterday using HM-801 (considered as an amped environment). I prefer the sound from my OK1 much more than the MX980.   May be the MX980 is a brand new one and have not burn-in yet. Or may be I like to listen to earbud without any foam but the...

There is something like this in the market: http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/WAVE-PlAYER-WITH-I2s-SPDIF-TO-DAC-NO-NEED-USB-PC-LINK-/320432131519 However it is not portable as it has no battery included.   But I think: - For portable listening, you need to take a player, a DAC and an...

Quote: I am wondering whether I should get the OFC cable for my HE-5 since I want a longer cable.   Is your choice of cable (i.e. OFC vs. SPC) the same for HE-5.    Thanks.
