    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    Update: It fixed itself. Literally as soon as I posted. This software is wonky :|   So here's another interesting problem. I haven't turned my DX100 on in quite some time. I turned it on today and it wasn't showing any of my music in the player app (I _was_ on 1.2.7). I've since upgraded to...

    LCD-2 Birthday Cake

    So, I am usually not a fan of reviving dead toplcs, but this is pretty cool.   I got a message here on head-fi from Sankar after he had seen the cake and he thought that it was pretty cool. Cool enough, in fact, to send some Audeze swag my way! Contents include a couple pens, a bottle opener...

    LCD-2 Birthday Cake

    Nevermind, she just walked in to me listening to the LCD-2s and said, "Curses! I forgot to do the open back!"

    LCD-2 Birthday Cake

    Quote:   Haha, yeah, it definitely doesn't have the open back, but my TP1 don't have mini XLR. It's possible that she did some drawings based on the TP1, which I've given to a friend to rid him of his Beats, and now he says that they have "no bass" which I find odd, but that's irrelevant...

    LCD-2 Birthday Cake

    My girlfriend is a cake decorator and makes pretty awesome cakes. My birthday was yesterday; I got a peanut butter cheesecake with a fondant LCD-2 decoration on top. I'm sure they don't sound very good, but they looked great ;)

    Quote: Sure -- if there's anything that anybody wants on it, I own a lot of music (and I'm happy to buy more for purposes of this thing) let me know and I'll load it up.   I'm definitely looking forward to trying 007s and 009s: been considering it for a bit but haven't had the chance...

    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    Anything 12V/1.5A should be fine. I'm guessing that all the stuff in the package demands more power than USB can at 5v/500mA.

    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    Quote: Even if I copy files one-by-one, it plays them starting from the bottom and going up (from the home screen browser). I have to go into the music player app and look at the albums for it to play them in what ends up looking like 'top down'. Perhaps I'm just talking about a different...

    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    Even when they were selling the "beta" units it was around $750 or so. I think you'll have to wait until these things get more competition or go down in price :|

    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    So, I think it plays them bottom-up -- I'm noticing that the song listed as #1 is the last song (as others are noticing as well), but when I play that song, it switches to another album later. Furthermore, if I start from the bottom (the first song), it plays upwards in alphanumeric order. I...

    VA / MD / DC meet on Saturday, July 28, 2012

    This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll bring my "portable" equipment: iPod + HP-P1 and my DX100 (complete with some 192/24 and 96/24 stuff loaded) along with my Ultrasone Ed. 8s and TP1-modded T50RP, if there's any interest.

    Pictures Of Your Portable Rig (part XV)

    My photo skills aren't worth much, but I updated my collection; every combination of this is sounding really awesome.     That's a 6th ed. iPod plugged into the Fostex HP-P1 and the iBasso DX100 (just came in today!)   Headphones are Fostex T50RP modded with a TP1 kit from smeggy...

    Are these 160 orders for the third batch? If so, maybe I should hurry up and hop on the bandwagon... just found out about this thing and I'm really, *really* looking forward to it.

    Pictures Of Your Portable Rig (part XV)

    Quote:   The only criticism I have of it is that it doesn't have non-iDevice inputs -- i.e. you can only really use it as a USB DAC from an iPod/iPhone/iPad/whatever. This makes it useless as an external DAC from a computer; it only works as an amp using an analog input.   That...

      My portable rig: iPod Classic (6G) -> Fostex HP-P1 -> Ultrasone Ed. 8 LE. I can't get enough of it.

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones

    I just got my Ultrasone Ed. 8 LEs in. Typical response from coworkers, family, and friends has been along the lines of, "Oh wow, these sound great." They run off to get whatever headphones they're typically using and do a comparison. They look a little dejected when they realize how huge the...

    Ultrasone Edition 8 "Limited Edition"

    It's entirely possible that I am not driving them well; I don't have a great source. Even with an amp, high-bass and low-mid frequencies were just muddy for me. The Ed. 8s are clear, crisp, transparent. (Yay subjective words). My general requirements are that I need closed cans in most places...

    Ultrasone Edition 8 "Limited Edition"

    Proud owner of #551. Drew was fantastic to work with. They sound so, so nice; obviously quite the upgrade from my beyerdynamic DT770 pro 250 ohm cans. There's almost no comparison: the full range on the Ed 8s is immediately more apparent than on the BDs; a prog metal album released from some...

    Ultrasone Edition 8 "Limited Edition"

    So stoked. I will be picking up a set from Moon Audio tomorrow, and I absolutely cannot wait to listen to them (and see them, for heavens sake!). I'll update to account for my serial number soon :-D
