Hi, I'm just as interestd in the DA 200 as you guys. Just wanna know if anyone has received the unit yet and could they write a review on it? Thanks!.

Hi everyone!   I'm actually in the same dilemma and thanks for providing your impressions i this thread. I've also gathered some advantages of the Burson 160D over the Meier combination, please correct me if I'm wrong!   1. Cheaper in terms of RRP, further cheaper because doesn't require...

I'm considering getting a stax earspeaker system and i noticed that they have recently launched an update in November 2010. The old 3030 classic (SRS 303 + SRM 313) and the 4040 signature (SRS 404 and SRM 006t) (as compared here: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/stax/stax.html) are now being...

hello?

Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me or should I move this to the headpones thread?

Also, can anyone tell me where SRS 3010 stands between these models?

What's the difference between the v2 and the current version? Quote:

Hi, thanks for your input there :)   Can you explain the differences between different cowon players, especially in relation to sound quality?   Quote:

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a new source with good sound quality to use with my RE-0 with or without an amp. I mainly listen to classical music. Here are my requirements:   Budget: <$800 Storage: the bigger the better. 16 Gb minimum. sd card expansion is a plus. UI: no rubbish software...

also, it'd be appreciated if anyone can give me good suggestions for a CD player source. Is there any difference purchasing a CD player or would using the Bluray drive in my computer (then connected to DAC+ AMP) would suffice?   Moreover, are there amps that can serve both CD players and the...

Thanks, I think I'll just drop the idea of portable use of the K702 :P   Anyway, among all the amp setups that you mentioned, regardless of size and portability, is there any one particular that you recommend, and what are their differences and costs?   Quote:

Thanks for going into so much depth about the terms. It's a great conceptual framework for me to build on my knowledge in these things, which can be quite confusing sometimes I'll try to google some of the terms you mentioned and learn what they mean :)   Quote:

I'd like to use a DAP because I travel quite often and I don't usually have access to a computer/ power port. I now understand why ipod/ bb are not ideal output devices now. Are there other DAPs that can solve the problem? I've just read about some of the players by Hifiman. How do you think of...

Thanks! That's a lot of options :)   Do you have suggestions for a source for CD too? Also, can these DAC/Amps be connected to an ipod/ blackberry/ portable music devices, and if lossless music is played in these devices would the sound quality be theoretically equivalent to those played...

Now that's a very concise explanation of what a DAC is, thank you very much! Just out of interest, how do you mean by electromagnetic noise? I only did physics at high school, and I still remember stuff about electromagnetic induction, like how currents can form magnetic fields and vice versa...

any thoughts?

Thanks a lot! Some further questions from a noobie:   1. Is the computer a good source? It's nothing about hardware here right? Am I right to say that the source file (e.g. .wav/ .flac vs .mp3) and software are all that matters? How do they compare with home CD players?   2. Are there...

Thanks, does the break in time need to be continuous? I have used it for 50 hours (discretely) by now and I noticed no change in sound quality  (maybe because i'm not a pro? :P)   Quote:

Thanks, what is the FS forum, and how do I access it?   Also, any recommendations for the source?   Quote:

Thanks! There are quite a few suggestions there, arguing which amp is best or not. But can anyone answer me on the importance of the amp/ source in relation to sound quality? Is there a large margin to be gained by purchasing a good source + amp or is it just icing on the cake?   Also, which...

Hi,   It's my first time posting here looking for advice, so please bear with me ^^   My boyfriend bought me a headphone (AKG k702) for birthday. It's my first pair of 'hi end' headphones so i read up to find out how to make the best use of it. This forum popped up from google and I read...
