Cowon, Hifiman or Colorfly? - Help please.

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Hello all,

Time to upgrade or at least give an excuse for another purchase.

As usual I have read everything i can through searching the forums and have reached an impasse.

*Please assist me once again in making my next purchase.beyersmile.png

 

Looking at :

Cowon J3, Cowon X7.

Hifiman 601

Colorfly CK4

 

Interested in the new Clip Zip, but not interested in Rockbox anymore.

And it doesn't seem to be locally stocked here.

**will use a Macbook pro.

-Currently using-

 

IEM/headphones: Triple-fi-10 (w/NULL audio cable),  ATH-ESW9.

 

Music: FLAC/ALAC, some WAV and old unused MP3. (but will be using the FLAC/WAV)

 

*Mainly Rock, Radiohead, Mazzy Star, Ramones, Velvet Underground,movie soundtracks, Arcade Fire, Beth Orton, Fugees, David Bowie, Orbital, Morcheeba, Nick Cave etc ...you get the idea.

 

__________________________________________________________________

 

*Current source: iPod touch 4G, w/EQu and Equalizer app, LOD, CMoy Royal, ibasso T3, Fiio E11.

(Going to sell the E11 or ibasso T3...can`t decide which).

 

**Any feedback or thoughts welcomed**

 

Thanks.

I didn't see this when you originally posted. But I am skeptical that any of the choices you list in your first post would sound any better than what you are currently using....so maybe you should just save some money.gs1000.gif

I tried switching around amps and LODs, playing flat no EQ apps with my triple fi and iPod touch 4G.

 

I then remembered that I had a iPod 5th gen 30gb (usually just for home stereo use)  and tried it with the CMoy Royal amp, audiotrak LOD and triple fi 10s and got a great synergy.

 

Happy (for) now.
