Line Out from iPhone 7
My portable setup is last version iPod (30 pin style) with Fiio Mont Blanc portable amp. I use the 30 pin to male 3.5 mm line out cable. I’d like to occasionally stream Spotify from my iPhone 7. Is there a lightening to male 3.5 mm line out cable I can use? Or did lightening/iPhone 7 loose...- shacky

Recommend upgrade fro Fiio E12a
I’m using the Monte Nlanc Fiio pot amp with iPod Classic (last version). I’d like to try something with a better DAC to bypass the Apple’s. I use Shure IEM 545 and UE’s can’t recall model but has 4 drivers. All my files are Apple lossless. I occasionally use my iPhone or iPad to stream...- shacky

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
I've had the 900S for over a year. I kept going back to my Shure E5 for isolation especially flying and punchy bass. My E5 broke so I upgraded to SE535. Now I'm tending to prefer the 900S. I'm using FiiO 12A. Flat EQ with the 12A bass boost is ideal for the UE's.- shacky

IPad 4 - DAC and SQ
My portable rig is iPod Classic 6.5 with LO to FiiO 12A with Shure 535's. Listening to Spotify via my iPad 4 straight to the Shures. Not bad. What DAC did the iPad 4 use?- shacky

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
I checked and my iPod Classic is latest 7th Generation. I use FiiO line out cable to FiiO 12A Montblanc. When charging the iPod and listening through the iPod amp it really doesn't sound to bad. But the external amp kicks it up whole 'nother level.- shacky

Shure SE535: Reviews and First Impressions Thread
Problem is I rip my CD's lossless so large files. That's why I got the 160 GB iPod. Though I wish it had better DAC. Just got Westone tip fit kit. The black foam seem like good fit. Very comfortable!- shacky

Enjoying my SE535. I have clear model and the cable has quite a strong glue/plastic smell. Anyone else notice? Toxic?- shacky

Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread
Deeper and better seal. I had been trying to force larger size in thinking it wold be better. I still get better isolation with Shure but I realize it was counterintuitive going larger tip for better fit with UE's. I can feel the vacuum/seal now when I insert them. And the softer rubber seems to...- shacky

Tried a smaller size soft rubber tip - and wow night and day difference! I kept going larger trying to get better isolation/seal the it struck me...- shacky

Shure E5 cable cracking
My trusty old E5 cable has seen better days. Multiple cracks all the way through outer plastic shell. I assume it's from repeated winding/storing, temp changes and just old age. How can I get new cables for these gems? And should I consider crossover upgrades?- shacky

UE900S non-iPhone Cable
I've been using the iPhone cable since getting these last year. I haven't been on the road for a few weeks but finally took the dedicated black cable with me. It sounds so good! Don't have the blue cable to try A/B'ing. Is it possible there is an audible difference or is it the placebo effect?- shacky

(NEW) FiiO E12A for IEMs!
Wow I did not know that iPod Classic did not provide true LO through 30 pin adapter. I had gone back and forth with my C&C Box+ and could have sworn the "LO" sounded better. Could be difference in quality of interconnect and or I had iPod volume less than max for comparison. So what mod is...- shacky
