Have been reading this Forum for several months considering my upgrade path. Have a HeadRoom Cosmic (circa 2002) and am wondering whether it is worth keeping and adding a portable DAC or whether the Amps currently offered have better quality? When I consider my home system, I'd not trade my...

My Droid headphone jack is slowly falling apart so I am in need of an MP3/FLAC player. It needs to be FLAC capable. I would like the best SQ possible. The cheaper the better. I will only be using IEM's with it (I think).

OK, I have been lurking around the forums enough and now I have to make a final decision: Cowon S9 + Earsonics SM3 vs the Hifiman HM-602 + RE262   Well, as far as I have seen, there is a grand total of zero person outside of Hifiman who have even seen the 262(I may be wrong), and I shouldn't...

Hi,   I've ordered a set of JH16s, and was wondering how to improve my portable setup (which is really only an iPhone 4!).   I can't afford the HiFiMan (and don't really consider it portable) so was considering the Cowon J3 over my iPhone (with lossless music)   1) Will the Cowon...

Hey guys, this is my first post in Head-fi, but like many other first time posters I've been lurking around here for months now. When I first heard of the new Hifiman it seemed like the answer to my prayers. Since I am a college student, I am not near a "home rig" most of the time, so i wanted...

I have a Zune and a Clip +, and I feel that they are a little underpowered when it comes to supplying some of my higher impedance cans with energy. Most noticeable is the lack of bass, even in some of my more bass heavy phones.   Rather than buy a new headphone, I would rather buy a new DAP...

What's the best sounding mp3 players you know of. I have a Samsung P3 which has an impressive DSN 3.0 engine in it. I'm running out of music space and am thinking about getting a Zune HD. BUT, I do not know about the sound quality. That's what I mostly care about.

  Background   After a long wait, the production version of the long-awaited HiFiMAN HM-602 (specs) has finally arrived.  The delay has been associated with a much more elaborate preproduction testing phase and for the first time for Head-Direct, Fang has decided to release a first batch...
