I’ve seen FiiO grow from a fledgling company to the powerhouse it is today - by no means have I bought the most expensive equipment, nor have I bought all models / variants in any product line, however - I am impressed with everything I’ve bought from FiiO - not one item has ever failed me, and...

Simple question I hope, my cursory look around Google didn’t give me answers to shout about… I have a battery powered amp, and if I charge it through a mains charger (whether single or multi port, branded or not, and with or without a mains filter) I get an annoying (what I assume to be ground)...

Hiya, So, I've had these two sources for a while, and - need to think about cutting costs / clawing some money back... Contender one - Cyrus CD6SE2 - Optical output Contender two - Cambridge Audio BD752 Blu Ray combi player - Optical and Coax output So, the Cyrus is a dedicated CD player, but...

Well, what can I say, I've had these for three or four months, and - when I first tried them, I hated them emphatically, pretty much thought I'd burned £75 - hence didn't comment on them, however - with a different set of tips (a mutant combination of Brainwavz tips and foam, a'ka Sony Hybrid)...

Not sure if this is bespoke to just Edge, however - it would appear that at times (and annoyingly this isn't every time a post is made) you get an error with how spell check (the red underlines) works... Unsure if this is an Edge or a forum issue, however - screenshot as below: Proof of...

Hi all,,, Before we say DSD64, 128 and 256 - am aware of those, however - I can play 6.14mhz and 12.28mhz with no problem, and neither comply with the DSD standard... Proof of this as below: So, for those more in the know than me, just seeing if it depends on DAC implementation (Pioneer U05...

Puzzling that neither the MDR-EX650 or EX750 are available on Sony.com but both are available on Sony's UK site.. I have both of these, and whilst the EX650 are good, if not great value for money, the EX750 (other than their cheap build, and wind noise) are stellar for commuting... I'm...

Hi All, Having gone through a tour of most of the TOTL headphones, I still haven't found any that touch the integrity and tonality of the Layla... Is there ANYTHING out there that would satisfy me or should I just use my IEMs for all applications? FWIW the nearest I got was the Grado PS1000...

Well, been a long time since I started a thread in this forum :) So, been playing with the Tralucent 1Plus2 for a good couple of weeks now, and love the SQ that these provide, they eclipse the SE846 in terms of treble definition, with the latter sounding colored and congested, really not good...

Here is the place to post all impressions etc from today's epic meet up... May I be first in the thread to say thank you to organisers and attendees alike... Without you, there would be no head-fi :) May the fun begin!

Well, at time of writing, I have had a Hugo in my possession for a little over three hours, and - as part of a double celebration, this (again, at time of writing) is my 10,000th post on Head-Fi... So, for this joyous time of double celebration, I thought I would bring back a thread that...

Hi All, Hoping this can become a sticky, if relevant, if not - will happily let it sink down the forum - anyhow, with the new rules introduced re electronic devices on flights to / within the US, just seeing if anyone has - as yet, had any issues with portable amps (what is this, what does it...

Hi All,   Preparing to lay down some cash on the Centrance Hifi-M8, but just wondering if anyone can give me an insight as to how much better the M8 will sound to my two box solution for connecting to my cellphones (obvious advantage of the M8 is MFI connectivity with iPhone 5S)...  ...

So, after seeing this eBay auction for a Philips CD880 reach dizzying heights, and then reading this webpage, it whetted my appetite enough to dig out one of my Philips CD850's (I have an absolutely mint boxed one tucked away for when it is a sellers market)..   Much moving around later, set...

...Watching this with interest...   So, simple question, how much would you pay for this cable?   Thanks :)

Hi All,   I'm building up my home rig again, and have myself a Burson HA160D amp - very happy with it, however - the AKG Q701s I bought don't have enough life / slam for more uptempo music...   My Sony Z1000s are relatively good all rounders, but - again - still not fantastic for rock /...

Hi All,   Cannot say that I've posted in this sub forum for a few years, but - am back to glean your assistance...   As per the title, I am using a mid 2011 iMac, and want to use the SPDIF (optical) to connect to my E17, however - using OSX, sound works fine (albeit only 16/44.1 iirc)...

Hi All,   Just throwing a quick poll out there - I am happy with my setup - Sony X, Fiio LOD, Graham Slee Voyager, Senn IE8 - but, feel the upgrade bug biting me a little bit (the bonus pay from work is helping here!)   ...So, no particular concerns with the SQ i'm getting - just looking...

Well, finally done it... bought myself an iMac (after my PC gave up the ghost)...   My question though, to those of you that have moved from PC to Mac, how long did it take you to 'convert'? - I must admit that the very first thing I did was to install bootcamp / windows 7...   On the...

Hi All,   Been a little while since posting in here, as I am pretty happy with my setup...   I am currently running the Sony NWZ-X1000 (Clear Bass+1 and top end treble +1) via an LOD to a Graham Slee Voyager, which - to these ears make the ATs sing oh so sweetly, I can barely fault the...

Hi All,   Sorry if this has been answered before, however, with 15000 search terms for Micro Amp, it would take quite a while to find what I'm after ;)   Anyways - I have a 2005 HeadRoom Micro Amp (with desktop module, which rules out battery operation), and it drives my Sony Z1000s...

...It is a good job I got a fairly hefty bonus from work this month, paying full retail for both of these... but, in its own way, it has been totally worth it :)   Now, with anything I mention below, it has to be said that these are early impressions, with the Z1000 only having about 20hrs...

So, I bought a pair of these today at full UK retail (£500) - but, I have to say that from the couple of hours I've had them on my head, they are truly worth it :D   They make my old favourite on the go cans (Senn HD25) sound so lifeless and plasticky - it is really shocking to think that...

Hey All,   After reading through all 59 pages of the MDR-Z1000 thread, I have placed an order for a pair - to collect on Thursday (albeit, as they are as rare as rocking horse poop in the EU, they are at full list price), anyways - I have a question which I'm hoping someone can answer...  ...

So, I am not quite as into doing the whole review thing as I was a few years back, yet I realised after getting the B&Ws last week that I have three of the main (easy to buy without importing) contenders in the $200-$350 portable headphone range...   Anyways, seeing that I am asking this in...
