I was an early adopter and had bought the fiio e3 then the e5early on. I also bought the e9 and e7 later on and the d3 to feed the e9. I kinda stopped there.

prison sansa clip. hope he bought some prison koss cl20 with koss 60 ohm driver for a prison audiophile rig. He sould have went with a sony srf39fp. The srf39 radio gets 100hrs on a single aa and no bricking unlike the sansa . replace 2 capacitor with higher values like Dr. Xin mod and you have...

Last minute entry. The cables looks great and french silk looks looks great, but need more of a signature look if you want to stand out.

Most media players buffer to ram first, so it mostly doesn't matter.

Quote: The fiio e9 uses opa2134 for the gain stage and tpa6120 as a buffer. This only has a tpa6120. They also used a different cheaper power supply scheme. This might be good for someone looking for something cheap to power demanding headphones.

isn't a mosfet buffer cmoy just a tori amp?

chrome has flash plugin intergrated in the browser, so it's separate from other flash installation. Try reinstalling adobe flash.

Quote:       I just did some research and apparently Apple might have dumped Foster for Foxconn for earphone, but I still think they are some type of biocellulose (as paper is bio cellulose). The Taiwan manufacture also aquired some patents from fostex.       Quote:

In the teardown, they describe the driver as paper, but I believe it might be bio-celluose. If we assume that they still use fostex as their OEM and that fostex used bio-celluose in the Denon D1000, Creative Auravana Live and etc. The earpod drivers diaphragm looks like it might use the same...

well the hissing on mines is very minor when I pair them up my superfi3 which are the most sensitive earphones i own, but absolutely no buzzing. I forgot what gain mines was set at. It's absolutely silent when pair with a 300ohm sennheiser. coupling caps block dc offsets voltage that alot of...

You need to watch what source to use with a headsave meta42. My headsave meta42 doesn't have coupling caps. also more than likely the gain is set for larger fullsize headphones

class 4 is faster for smaller files than class 10. for larger file class 10 is superior.

I had one with black plastic and newer ones with "white" clear plastic. I believe the black plastic ones are the older revision before they switched to ccaw voice coils. They have a bit less treble and more smoother presentation(from memory(I went through the copper then the ccaw version and...

opamp rolling on the fiio e9, but you might have a latest production fiio e9 with soldered down opamps. you might want to crack it open for a look before buying new opamp.

M50 are too pricey over there to consider them a good value. I believe the local rebranding of the fa003 was called lindy premium headphones also goldring dr150 if you don't mind nonisolating headphones

No, sounds like a pair of grados might fit you better. A lot of people buy the k701 without the proper gear to support it.

Had the mdr v6 and the hd280. The v6 has survived while the hd280 lies in pieces. build quality of the v6 is superior in my case. The bass of the hd280 was more impactful and the isolation was better, but to my ears the hd280 sound was un-naturally colored. I perfered the v6 for it's better...

You could go wireless but I can't think of anything wireless that is decent for under $30

Just receive mines today initial impression fairly neutral with a touch a warmth and bass. Still needs a more burn in.  Will post some pics later.

No, most line out have DC offset which while some headphones can with stand for short periods, will lead to the eventual destruction of your headphones. Also loading a dac output with a low impedance grado might not be a good ideal.   Also I suggest buying a amp first.
