Hey All,   Just bought the DX80 and am lovin' it.  Much better than the Note2 (with Wolfson DAC) I've been using for playback.  Wider stage, more texture and detail, very happy so far.  I upgraded the firmware to 1.5.2, loaded my music on a 200Gb microSD card, and everything works as expected...

Hi Guys,   Anyone try this amp banded to a phone?  Just curious because when I band my C&H B2 to the back of my Note 2 I get intermittent electronic interference (crackling and pulses) that are rather noticeable during quiet passages in music. If I separate the two units by a foot or two it...

Hi All,   I have a friend who loves her Shure SE425 IEMs.  She wears them all the time under her helmet when riding her Harley.  She gone through a couple of pairs of replacement cables because of the stress encountered when putting on or removing her helmet while wearing these over-the-ear...

Spardasieg,   To my untrained ears, I think the Note2 sounds slightly better than the 5.5Gen iPod when listening to either through the headphone out.  That said, it looks like I have to compromise slightly (for now) to get more capacity.  Through the LOD, I think the iPod sounds equal to or...

Hey Spardasieg,   I'm in a similar situation in which you find yourself.  I have a Verizon Note2 with the Wolfson chip and "like" the sound it but it has 2 limitations (for me) keeping it from being great.  1) Only 64gb of storage and no 128gb micro sdcx chips in the near, affordable future. ...

I actually own the Zx sound card and I think it quite good.  It does have a dedicated 600 Ohm amplified headphone out using the Maxim MAX97220A chip.  This card uses a Cirrus Logic DAC and, to my untrained ears, possesses and clean analytical sound that drives my IEMs and CIEMs well.  I have not...

I also want to thank everyone I met, it was a good time, I learned a lot, and definitely worth the drive.  The Cordette DAC at the Affordable Audio table (I think?) was AMAZING.  Also, thanks to Bryce at the UE table.  Although I went the try the UERMs, I ended up purchasing the UE7's with the...

^^^ Have the same issue.   I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with a Fiio E11 amp rubber-band strapped to the back of the phone.  When the amp is positioned so that the volume knob is just above the back of the phone and the amp covering the camera, I get an intermittent "popping noise" at...

Quote: This is good Dubstep Girl.  Beatport has the .wav and it's in my basket along with Underworld - Sola Sistim.  The Vibrasphere remix of Elephant Trax is good, and so it the The Kumba Mela Experiment ‎– East Of The River Ganges CD where another remix and others are located. All of...
