And under "Settings," I have volume set to "High."

 

I also don't use Replay Gain.
 



 


oh well, i guess this shows that it's a $90 MP3 player. i think for what it is, it's the best $90 i've spent on portable audio gear smily_headphones1.gif

They don't listed any thing about the caps they used, so it is hard to judge how good they are, or not.

Elna is generally considered to be good cap for couping purpose. Don't get the BlackGate though, it is not worth the money.

Hey, have you tried A/Bing the L1 and L3 cables?  Do they really sound much different?

A pair of BlackGate can cost 1/3 of the LOD (if not a lot more), I doubt it will be for free. Even if it is free, I personally won't want to use BlackGate as it sounds way too dark for me.

I've read all the topic and discussion here and I am quite excited to try Sansa Fuze + with LOD and connect it to Sunrise Xcape IEM and Fiio E7 amp :)

 

However, I am not sure about one thing: Are we talking about only <5% difference between these 2 products?:

 

1. Simple L6 from amazon ~7£ http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-Line-Cable-Sandisk-Player/dp/B004M172KO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304956168&sr=1-1

 

2. Superior L6 modded from ebay ~25£ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SANSA-FUZE-LINE-OUT-DOCK-LOD-HEADPHONE-AMPLIFIER-/250715651265?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3a5fd13cc1#ht_1286wt_1163&afsrc=1

 

Is it worth to pay 17£ more for a piece of cable? I would like to try do a mod myself, but I have never done anything like this. Can you please make a short list what items you used for a modification and what tools do you need to have? Thanks in advance ;) Nice job by the way ;)

i bought the one in #2. it's not just a piece of cable, the second one uses Elna Silmic Audio II caps, which are better than the cheap caps in the first one. i haven't received mine yet, but i think that if ur getting a LOD, might as well get the good one.

If you never solder anything before, this might not be an easy project to do. Once you put in the cost of a soldering iron and all the little things you need to do the mod, it might cost you more then the price of that eBay LOD.
