    Review: Spiral Ear SE 5-way Reference - A new level of resolution? (Review posted 5/15/12)

    Hey all,   Just  a quick question. So my SE5 cable has died on me, and I need to get some new cables.   Was wondering if there are any suggestions for something "cost effective" and ergonomic?   I did a quick search around and I think there was mention of Toxic and Helix cables but that's...

    Quote: I got mine late last year... but my friend who was re-directing the parcels for me was away so it took me a while to get the SE5s to look at, resulting in the process dragging a bit.   I sent both pieces back. I think Grzegorz remade only the right one though. I didn't send...

    Quote:   Sounds similar to the issue I had. Although, I had the problem right from the start (one said sounded louder than the other and felt like sound was coming from the left all the time).   I ended up sending the SE5 back to get it looked at. Got it back a few weeks ago and now...

    Quote:   Just wanted to dig up this thread and report back. I just got my SE 5-Way back and absolutely no more issues! Thanks Grzegorz! It's a breath of fresh air after using a broken pair of em3pros. Really spacious and detailed though my S9 probably doesn't do it justice.  But...

    Acoustic Research Mysterious New Audiophile DAP

    If it has SQ comparible to the DX100, and physical buttons, it might be worth considering given its much thinner. But the battery life and small memory/storage is a bit of a bummer...

    iMOD vs Cowon J3

    Quote:   Scuttle, are you saying then, that provided you have a decent AMP, you can use EQ to handle the rest?   I'd be the first to admit I know absolutely nothing about EQ but interested to read up / learn more about it. Do you or anyone have any suggested reading I could do? (I...

    DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound?

    Quote: Do you know how the iMod (& I think you can put Rockbox on it from memory?) would compare with the J3 in terms of SQ?   Think I saw another thread on the J3 vs iMod and people felt that the J3 was better overall?   I read up on the iMod a bit and it seems people think there...

    DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound?

    Quote: Yeah, I was liking the idea of a hifiman but the size is the same as the dx100 so that kind of defeats the purpose for me.   I've been reading about the new Hisound N1 and N3 players. Anyone know how do those compare to the rocoo P and Sony (& Cowon) players?   Quote...

    DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound?

    Odderen - From what I've read, Hisound seems to have more of a neutral sound? Never read up on the AMP3 though. Thanks, I'll have a look at that.   Loquah - Yeah, I did have a Cowon S9 in my inventory before and did quite liked it. Was just curious if there was something "better" out there...

    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

    Hi all,   I'm currently waiting for a pair of Spiral Ears 5 Way to arrive, and was thinking of using my Note 2 with the Glacier & SE5. Can anyone suggest whether this would be a good idea or not suggestable?

    DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound?

    faichiu - Yeah, I'll have a look into Hifiman. Thanks.   DMinor - Actually I just commited myself to a pair of SE5s not too long ago. They're pretty awesome with the DX100 (though I haven't tried the latest two firmware updates)! Just thought I'd try something a bit different with a more...

    DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound?

    Hi all,   Just wondering if anyone can recommend a DAP that leans towards a "warm" sound. (e.g. like Sony)   I actually currently have a DX100 but was looking for something more portable, and I'm not really fussed by video capabilities as I won't really be watching any.   Been...

    Thanks Joe,   I tried the Sensaphonics seal test from their website. Not sure what they mean by hearing both tones on the same level. But I hear both tones but feel the high pitch one is louder... although I think that's just because it is high pitched. That said, I tested it against my...

    Hey guys,   Sorry, just digging this thread up a bit... since it's sort of relevant.   I just got my pair of SE5 last night and noticed that the "centre" seemed to be coming from the left side more. Even just menu sounds when clicking through my list of music seems to be coming slightly...

    SAmsung galaxy note 2

    Assuming USB DACs will play nice with the Note 2, anyone have any recommendations on which one? I may have to start doing some reading :)

    SAmsung galaxy note 2

    Also really interested in getting the Note 2, but I'm still undecided If I'd use the Note (maybe paired with an amp and/or usb dac if possible?) for music or get a separate mp3 player altogether??

    Thanks Joe,   I'll check out the RoCoo BA. Good question about the Sony F players... I'm actually not too sure. If the Sony Z1000 is anything to go by, I'd say it would be about 16ohm?
