You don't want to have it the other way around either

Depends on context... Your girl or wife wouldn't like to hear you saying that about her to anyone else ;)

Quote: Nope didn't work either   Albums aren't prefixed with number and sort fine a..z but songs with artist-album folders are a mess   grrrr seems like shuffle is on all the time

Hi there Received the C3 last week and also added a SD card with some music. Sorting still is an issue..all song names are prefixed 01-xxx 02-yyy etc.    Didn't work. So changed the time stamp on all files and folders to the same date and time. Still no luck.   More suggestions?

Was looking through new posts and this one caught my eye.. Think about it this thread is started 3yrs ago and still going strong "JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions". Maybe better to start an appreciation thread...?

So here's some photo's of my updated rig..   Fiio E17->Alo Rx II Shure SE215->SE425 BTW I'm very glad I tried the larger sleeves, finally bass is something to be liked on these ;)   Thxs for the advice everyone

Quote: Lol scuttle thxs for the advice. Will not dump the amp yet though ;) Rockbox is already installed but in my opinion it should be good straight out..I installed Rockbox to be able to play flac. Will look into IEM sealing..   Also try to over actively buy new products

So the SE425 arrived last week. Used them for a week. Certainly at first not a big improvement. Still harsh/grainded sound on some recording. Little bass impact....was it the right choice?   Doing some burnin over nights at the moment and listened to some recordings today. Started to look...

First upgrade decision is made. Shure SE425 is on order. I'll take it from there. Thxs already for the tips

Quote:   Thank you will remember to use as good as a DAP as I can or use better DAC;) But when I need to rule out the lesser iPod DAC I thought this could help. Remember though it should improve the portable rig with the SE215.   

Quote:   Thxs for your opinion..but it's really hard to compare when there is no digital out on the iPod. Unless I go Fostex e.g.  but that's is out of my budget. Also the K550 is reasonable as well with the iPod-E17 combo. When I ad the Shure S215 though it's getting worse. But true a...

Will dive some more into this. Like the idea about upgrading the IEM. On the shortlist now are: Shure SE425 (210-220 EUR) Westone 3umx (310 EUR via import, over here hard to get) Shure SE535 (325 EUR via import, 360 EUR NL)   Maybe go for SE42 for now and upgrade LOD. LOD options...

Quote:     Quote:     Thxs for the thumbs up, was already looking towards Shure SE425 as sugested on the seperate post. Maybe Westone 3's... Hard to imagine that the IEM will do the works while I heard the same issue using my full size K550's.  

So here my pictures of my first portable rig: iPod Classic 6G 80GB, Rockboxed Fiio E17 + Fiio LOD Shure SE215   Off-Topic: I'm in need for some upgrade advice for best bang for the buck upgrade. Which part to upgrade? Budget between 200-400EUR. Not completely satisfied with the SQ. Bit...

I mentioned the Leckerton earlier but because I've not digital out on the iPod a pure amp would be better not?   Would a Alo RX MK2 be a better option in that case? Or is preparing for a future DAP with digatal out be better, so the Leckerton UHA-6S MKII would be best?   At the moment...

Bump

Previously I also took interest in westone 3 would that be a viable option? Also reading al lot bout Heir headphones over here. Rsa, Leckerton also seems to get thumbs up in here as amp and or amp/dac combo. Some proper lod probably needed.

I did use flac files on both csuse the ipod is rockboxed. Normally of course the k550 are uswd at home. But for the comparison i usws them because the have a far richer experience. Will look at the 425 maybe. Replace the e17 wouldn't be better ?

Hi,    Yesterday I did some listening on my new setup Rockboxed iPod Classic 6G with the Fiio E17 via Fiio LOD. Used the AKG K550 for the occasion while I normally listen using Shure SE215.    Though not entirely bad sound missed some air, soundstage and was a bit dark. I plugged my...

Thxs dontbend, I took the plunge and ordered. Should be arriving next week hopefully.

Very good price on the k550 but I'm from holland and its not to clear to me wether it will be delivered there..

Doesn't the k550 outperform the e17 by quite a margin. Should they be partnered with a better dac/amp combo?

Should the shure 840 be on the short list?
