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...

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...

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?

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?

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?

The wireon my E5's is starting to fray just before he headphone plug.  Do you guys have any recommendations for repair?   http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q227/shacky1973/90A4178C-17B6-43C9-BFE3-F02FC0B3C585_zpswmgjno0w.jpg

Came across this while researching RS amp.  Is this worth considering?   http://www.smalltao.com/product/14881219160/Blaze%20S-1%20boutique%20portable%20amp%20modeled%20on%20the%20famous%20Blackbird%20SR-71A%20value%20for%20money

I really want to like my 900S but I have two complaints; I don't get the isolation I get with my Shure E5 Bass is too polite I'm thinking these are related as if I had better isolation I'd get more bass response. I've been using Comfy tips medium. I ordered large to see if that helps. I've...

I'd like to look into a new portable IEM amp and or DAC (UE 900s + Shure e5).  But do any DAC's or connectors actually bypass the iPod DAC?   If not it seems DAC would be useless feature for use with iPod.

I just realized I've had my C&C Box+ for almost 7 years.  Other than needing new battery - they did it on warrantee - and loosing charger for a year this thing has performed great and survived lot's of trips in car and planes as I travel for work.     And it sounds great!  Anyone else here a...

I lost my cheapy line out connector.  I'd like to get something decent but not a $50+ investment.   I use it primarily for line out to portable headphone amp and in car Aux input.  I also use if occasionally for connecting RCA to stereo.  I liked having only the connector and being able to...

My son plays the bass and is always "borrowing" my Shure E5's for his practice sessions.  I want to get him his own in-ear monitors for his birthday in 2 weeks.   Like to keep it close to $100 or under.  His priorities are sound isolation and bass response.   What current IE phones would...

Lost my AC adaptor. I was able to find the following information: 100-240V input, 9V/1A output, switching power supply I brought my amp to RS to see what size the connector is. They said it's an "H" which shows this on their website: Change AC adapter terminations Replaces damaged...

Lost my AC Adaptor.  Can anyone recommend replacement?   From website:   What is the input voltage of the charger? The charger is 100-240V, auto switching.

I just tried my son's 580's with my C&C Box+. I like them better than my Senn 280 Pro's. I see a model 700 for $175 vs. $148 for the 580. Is the 700 the same as 780? Help me

I currently use a 4G 20 gb iPod. Listen to lossless files usually through C&C Box+ HP amp using dirct audio out rather that through the iPod OP amps. I'm very happy with the sound like this and have heard Apple went to less optimum DAC's for some post 4G models. Would like to pick up an...

I just purchased used pair of E5's. What's the difference if any between E5 and E5C. Mine are clear - is that what the C indicates? My first IEM's. Running them through 4th G iPod and C&C Box+. Very impressive sounding.

How the heck are you supposed to load the E5's in the carry case pouch? I downloaded owners manual but it does show. I bought these new so I've not seen how they go in.

I have a line on some used E5 headphones for $160. First - is that a good price? Second - any tips for evaluating before I purchase? Was wondering if there are any problems easily identified. Sounds like they are bare bones - not a lot comes with them other than one or two inserts...

I bought the Box+ last July. Haven't used it all that much. Went to charge it and it would not charge. Was running on AC adaptor but then sound became very distorted. Turning off and on a few times brought it back but only for a few minutes. Anyone else have this problem?

I bought these years ago thinking they would be good for airplane travel - NOT. Plugged them into my new portable HP amp and was surprised how good they sound - without the noise cancell turned on. The amp makes them better than they ever sounded before - even though they appear to be fairly...

My first headphone amp just arived from Hong Kong. Ordered last Sunday and it arrived here in Rochester NY Saturday by registered mail. Feels nice and weighty for a little amp. Looks like metal casing. Came fully charged so didn't have to wait 8hrs to charge before trying. My first impression...

As a new member, the data on this sight is fantastic. Been listening to 4G iPOD for several years without headphone amp. Always wanted to take the plunge but had only looked at Headroom products and couldn't see spending $100-$150 entry level for plastic with tiny volume wheel. While I'm sure...

I have 3G iPod and Sennheiser 280 Pro's. Also use Sennheiser ear buds. May get IEM's in future but thinking I will get more bang for buck at this point from amp. Will aslo use to listen throgh my laptop while traveling but mostly with iPod. Been looking at: Airhead Bithead Headroom Micro...
