I'm surprised Mac音 is still alive.... despite being released as apple loops + reason patch...

 

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems like Mac音 dropped support for reason.... so it's only apple loops now....

 

In case you didn't know, reason is a DAW software

 

 

and Mac音 was available as a custom patch:

 

 

Kinda sucks how they've dropped it....

reason has a way better sampler for control over dynamics and the envelope....

Was it someone here who said Midori was in love with Tamako in Tamako Market? Because damn I must have been high while watching that second episode, signs are everywhere.

I found that some genre and type of music doesn't mesh well at all when vocaloid is used to replace real singers, but the two Mayu ones is the exception, at least recently. More like these is good.
Hrmm well I've found a lot of Mayu songs tend to tune her a bit lower on the vocal range compared to other vocaloids. She tends to sound a bit more laid back and doesn't peak as hard as Miku and friends. Or maybe you don't mind Vocarock?

Give these a listen:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19302098 - Mayu.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19473241 - Mayu again, but tuned higher, more typical of other vocaloids. 
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19856564 - Gumi, Vocarock, getting a bit hardcore here tongue.gif

All of this is good ****, especially the Gumi one. Definitely, absolutely awesome.

More plz. tongue.gif

biggrin.gif Well since I need to sleep I'll just link some producer's lists of work. 

 

First Mayu song I linked: http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/19099704 - MikitoP. Honestly not sure whether you'll like his other songs. Give Setagaya Night Safari a listen though. (世田谷ナイトサファリ)

Second Mayu song: http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/3304983 - 164. The quality of his work varies a lot IMO. I like Inori, NO STARS, and 天ノ弱. 

Gumi song: http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/12177097 - DevilishP. Basically all his stuff is great. There are some Miku songs in there that are tuned pretty high. 

 

 

Some wildcards.

 

http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/6330215 - Yuyoyuppe. Vocarock, similar to DevilishP but with a different style. Recommend: Story of Hope, Palette, Leia, Reon, and Hope. Has a lot of other good songs too though. 

 

http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/14483709 - MuryokuP. Vocarock with some electronic backing/full on dubstep style tracks. Some great songs, a lot of OK ones. Recommend: Aspirin, Graviton and his Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug remix. 

 

 

Couple of producers there who have some very early works that you probably want to stay away from. Stuff they made before becoming somewhat popular etc. Try to stick with original songs (オリジナル in the title), probably avoid remixes and covers. Yuyoyuppe has some vocal covers he's done himself of his own songs. 

 

Hopefully I haven't completely underestimated/overestimated your ability to read moon runes here biggrin.gif. Apologies if I've done either though.

I havent compared it yet but I am liking it. Its sound is much different from what Fiio has given before. Usually fiio sound is very warm and sweet. There was also a boomier bass. However with the E12. While they are still walking the fiio universal sound signature path. The sound is much more flat. This amp is a flagship. And considering its $120. Its nice smily_headphones1.gif

Wow, this is more than enough for now. Thanks. I'll be sure to ask for more after I finished processed all of this.
Holy ****, I've been trying to ignore it, but since scamp is tweeting, while not a lot, about space bros being ******* awesome the past few episodes. And considering I take his opinion very seriously.... after the 23rd, if I pass my final exam, I'll be sure to start marathoning it.

I'm glad I don't watch enough TV to warrant buying one. All the TV's at my parents are CRTs as well, the last time I got to sit down with my mum and dad and just watch TV was when we did a LOTR marathon.

Sounds like you tend to expect from as flagship, aimed at a more audiophile sound. Still at $120, that's a steal(no doubt it'll end up being £120 instead of £76+tax). Can it drive heftier headphones like the HD600?

Maybe it's because all of them, except the MS1, are used. But even then the MS-1 is new, so it should have been hit.

So I arrived at this point:

 

 

 

Cirrus Logic DAC-->AD8920-->Burr Brown OPA2134-->LME 49710-->49600 ->headphones

 

The OPA2xxx and LME 49xx are some of the most coveted op amps besides the opa627. 

 

Now let's see how it sounds.

I should have asked you to borrow something like the E12 since I'm in New York right now in Manhattan. My mother isn't being nice though since she won't drive me to B&H, J&R, or Audiocubes. B&H is around 30 blocks from here, which isn't too bad. I wouldn't mind walking 1.5 miles or so. Worth it for the headphones. But yeah, she won't let me go anywhere except for the Apple store that's literally across the street from me from the apartment I'm sitting in right now.

I'll take something! Well, you already made an offer.

880mW @ 32 ohms

 

FiiO and others stated that yes it can. LCD2 and HD800 shouldn't be an issue as well. But that is just from others.

 

This is the biggest problem I have with reviewing FiiO devices. Their fricking price. The E07K, E02i and E12 all have some nit picks.

 

The E02i is very very warm and colored. However it has a huge problem with power on and power off and headphone plug in and plug out pop. But it's $29 and has a good microphone, and smartphone control while adding an amplifier to the mix. IT was HARD not to give it a good overall rating! Why..it was too dam cheap.

 

Same with th E07K. IT was a bit warm. Ok, let's say quite warm. Some may not like it. It had a slight drop off in the highs and the bass was present and boomier than baseline(iphone). However, it had a WM8740, 24/96, dual headphone out, ~215mW @ 32 ohms, and a graphical screen and EQ. At $90. It was really quite hard not to give it a good overall score too because it was too cheap.

 

Then we have the E12. It has a few usability problems. But it's $120. IT is fairly thin. It is very nice looking and well built. And it sounds like a flagship amp. 

http://fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000038732625&MenuID=105026001

 

Packed with LME49710 and LME49600, a relay to help protect IEM's, WIMA capacitator, 850-880mW @ 32 ohms, Smart recharge capabilities to help battery and at 14.5mm thick

 

IT is very hard to give it a bad spin.

I don't know about the soft and cuddly part, but tbh the 'spend time with loved ones' is 100% true. I may not show it much to them though, but i really value it. Much like you guys, even though some of you are grating lol.
