    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    I had done this multiple times. Paying closer attention, here's what happens each time: it says "updating music database" and counts the files, but when it gets to file 201, the R3 reboots, coming back to a screen saying "no music found." Without knowledge of how Hiby's OS works, to me that...

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    That was the first thing I did when I had troubles.

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    Okay, this is weird. I reformatted the card, and my R3 still can't find anything when it scans for new music, but I can find them just fine if I navigate by file structure, and the R3 plays the songs.

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    Does the microSD card need to have a specific format? If I connect my R3 Pro Saber to my PC via USB, my PC sees the files, but my R3 itself can't find anything when it scans for music.

    Recommendations on amp for VR, HD6xx

    Basically, I'm looking at something to improve on the built in sound on my Oculus Quest 2. I currently have a Sennheiser HD6xx and a Beyerdynamic DT 880 (25 ohm version), but since the former has a replaceable cord, I was planning on using that and replacing the cord with a shorter version when...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    Okay, so I got the Voshkods that I ordered, and I'm trying out tube rolling for the first time. No burn in time yet; just fresh into the socket. First test using Bela Fleck - Tales from the Acoustic Planet. My headphones are Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premiums. First thing I noticed was that I...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    I'll take that advice, thanks.  I figure I'll slowly build up a collection to try out and see what I like.

    Japanese Jazz

    I'm not sure that this quite what you're looking for, but the recent(and amazing) anime Shouwa Genroku Rakago Shinjuu had some very enjoyable jazz-influenced music.

    Sound in the System Shock Remake

    I'm actually kind of surprised that I haven't seen this here yet.  For those unaware, Nightdive Studios managed to grab the rights to the System Shock IP(for those unaware of what that is, it's the 90s predecessor to the Bioshock series), and the sound designer/composer, Jonathon Peros, has been...

    Which microphone with open headphones?

    I don't often play multiplayer games, and consequentially, I don't have a dedicated gaming mic setup.  What I do have is a MXL 990 condensor mic running through an Alesis Multimix 8 USB.  I can't speak for how effective it is, but at the least, no one's complained about it yet.

    Tracks of phenomenal audio quality?

    There are worse places to look than the Grammy awards for Best Engineered Albums, Classical and Non-Classical.   EDIT:  As for personal picks, Steven Wilson can put some sounds together.  My favorites are Fear of a Blank Planet(Sleep Together is especially great to listen to on headphones)...

    Any opinion on little Dot DACs?

    So, right now, I've got a pair of DT880s and a little Dot mk III amp, but my current DAC is just a cheap on I bought because my PC's sound card started generating line noise, so it's about time to upgrade.  It seems like a silly question, but I was wondering how well the little Dot DACs pair...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

    So despite having owned my little Dot mk III for about 5 year now, I never got into tube rolling.  I decided that needs to change.  I'm starting out looking for some relatively inexpensive tubes to try out, and I started with a matched pair of Voshkod 6ZH1P-EVs that I found for $16 on ebay...

    Mouse -Fi

     I'm more of a trackball kind of guy, so I use a CST L-tracX.  3200 cpi(configurable) and the perfect size and shape to fit my hand without making me do the "eagle claw" like some other trackballs do.  It's solid as a rock, and where some companies void your warranty for taking a mouse apart...

    Portable FLAC Player

    I've got a Cowon D2+ running Rockbox.  The Cowons will play FLAC natively, but Rockbox has much better options for tweaking the sound.  And the D2+ has an SDHC slot.  The touchscreen leaves much to be desired, though.

    Like Metal, but don't like the cookie monster death vocals? ...Have you listened to Opeth?

    Absolutely amazing band; Blackwater Park was my "gateway drug" to death metal.  Couldn't stand the stuff before them.  I remember seeing them live in Dallas...  2004, I think?  Possibly 2003.  It was right before I enlisted in the Air Force.  The concert featured Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah...

    THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)

    Overall, I'd say that my favorite would have to be Anneke van Giersbergen when she was still with The Gathering.  Very unique voice.

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    So after some reviewing, I think I'm going to go with the DT880.  If the open design proves to be a big deal I can just use my HD280 Pro at night and save the DT880 for when I'm by myself or listening to music on my D2+ on the other side of the house.   Next question then, for those familiar...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    I'll repost my criteria from a thread I made before seeing this one.  I'll let the other thread die so as not to take up space.  Trying to upgrade from Sennheiser HD 280 Pros.     I will be using the headphones for gaming(and will likely be pursuing a virtual surround solution, which I've...

    Headphone Recomendations Requested(with criteria) ***Ignore - Moving to Consolidated Thread***

    Another question.  I've heard about a Japanese line called Stax that operate on a different principle than most common headphones.  Generally expensive, but since I'm in Japan, I might be able to find an older model for a decent price(my wife is ridiculously good at finding deals).  If I were...

    Headphone Recomendations Requested(with criteria) ***Ignore - Moving to Consolidated Thread***

    Hey everyone.  I've lurked for a bit, but decided I'd register to get some advice.  I've had a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pros for the last 8 years, and since my daughter decided that they looked better with broken plastic, I figured it was a fine time for an upgrade.  So here's some of the...
