Not too expensive, below $500. Looking for SQ and nothing else.

Anyone able to get bluetooth to work? I can connect up to a jambox, but no sound.

What is a good amp for Westone 4R under 500 dollars? I listen to mainly rocky and classical music.

I was looking through the "pictures of your portable rig" thread and realized tons of people have different ideas for their portable rig. I was wondering what everyones was if they had no worry in terms of pricing. I am curious to hear what people would consider the best and what they would want...

Hello, I am just curious if anybody has some knowledge regarding the playback of 24/96 files with a portable device.  I figure some DAPs will work just fine, but I wanted to utilize one of the following devices below with my Fiio E17. Currently, I have: iPod Video 5.0G /w Rockbox -...

Hello I know this question was asked before, but I really would like to have more information on this. I own a pico slim and um miracles. What configuration would yield the most noticeable improvement: clas with pico, or fostex hp p1 ? Also, what kind of sound will I achieve with the fostex...

This is what I want:    - Enough HDD space for all my music. Preferably >100GB.  - NOT APPLE. I hate iTunes with a passion.  - Classical music friendly (i.e. ability to group by composer and nest folders within).  - drag and drop functionality preferred.    - budget: unlimited -...

This is my first post on head-fi though I have lurked a bit. I just got a FiiO e17 and love it but had a thought jut now that they really should make a portable flac player with decent storage capacity 15-25gb with a built in Amp and DAC. The only portable music player I have is my iPhone, so...

My music collection has grown to ~130 gb and is too large for most portable sources.  I am looking for a player that can at least the majority of my collection.  What options do I have?  I currently have a Cowon X7 and am completely unsatisfied with it.  I've also had bad experiences with ipod...

I would like to know and also what the heck is rockbox keep seeing all these threads about it. Thanks

Just curious, is there something better than ibasso dx100 but not from a chinese company, in terms of audio quality? its a shame that there is nothing that had the screen of sony z, the SQ of dx100, the size of cowon j3 and the design of iphone 4.... from countries that i think are capable of...

I just received delivery of this player and I'm trying to get it to play HD (24 Bit) wav and flac files without success. I was under the impression that this was a HD audio player. Does anyone else know about this player, and is it supposed to play HD audio? I can't seem to find the...

I do use a UERM, and an MG6Pro   I've been contemplating for a while for the better sound quality (I don't care about formats alac / flac either one works for me) between getting an amp and dac combo such as the MK3 + Solo for my 4s, or just a DX100. I've been doing quite the research and...

Looking to try something with my current car stereo that has a digital coax input.. playing lossless through this would use the headunits DAC which is of high quality.  I figured you guys would know what is out better than a caraudio forum. 

Hello Head-Fiers, I used to be a long time lurker in the past, and I've only just started to get into the world of Hi-Fi. Hearing the HD800's my uncle owns wet my mouth for some seriously professional and amazing sound quality that money can buy. Unfortunately all I have are a pair of m50's...

I've spent about an hour digging around the forums here for an answer to this issue but so far I haven't had any success so I've decided to stop lurking, create an account and post.    I have an iPhone 4S with a line out dock (LOD) and a FiiO e17 and I'm enjoying the combination. But I'm...

which will give better sound quality.

Some songs used to be right before, today got a JUMBLED display in DX100. Only upgrade the fireware from 1.1.6 to 1.1.7. How can I correct it? Thanks!

Does anyone know iBasso DX100‘s 3.5mm coaxial out？How to connect 3.5mm plug to RCA plug？THX alot.

I have had the iPod from the first model , but my ears become more choosy year over year and especially last models wasn't so eliciting under the point of view of sound quality. I have an Ipad to, it sounds incredibly better but it is far to be defined transportable , moreover better now is not...

I plan to use an amp with my Miracle. It'll probably be paired with the DX100 if I can get one. I've heard of lots of good things about the Objective 2 / DX100 pairing, but how does the c421 compare? Its strictly for home use - I won't carry and amp + a brick for portable use, so disregard...

  So after some long waiting I finally received my Ibasso DX100. Its the first DAP from Ibasso, and I think it has done  a very good one. I will not review the SQ of the DX100, not until I get it burned for some  time, for now I will talk about the UI . Its an android gingerbread in its...

Can those of you who have heard or own (even better) Hifiman HE500 and Alpha Dog compare them in terms of sound? They are now priced exactly the same and I have always wanted to own a pair of HE500. Alpha Dog has no leakage and good isolation right? Is HE500 too heavy or is it still bareable? Do...
