I feel like doing a mod to my iBasso T4, but I don't really know if it's safe to do it, so I came here to ask questions. I wanted to replace the capacitors to a higher uF capacitor (ex. 100 uF -> 150 uF), and the batteries with a higher voltage (5v? 6v?) My questions are:  1. What does...

Helo i have some questions   i'd like to get a new player, but i don't know which one, it has to be able to accept a lot of space and it needs a touch screen, that's why i was thinking about the cowon z2, but how do i put an amp on this? i'd like to buy a fiio e17 or a ibasso t4/5   i'm...

I was just wondering what ultra-portable amps were available? The only ones I've seen so far are the Digizoid ZO2 and the iBasso T3, other like the T5 are similar in size but muc heavier, so  is there anything else worth considering in the $60-150 range?   Some specs:   Digizoid ZO2.3...

  INTRO   Thus far all of the reviews I’ve done here have been on readily available products. Most of them were purchased by me and reviewed for fun, but there have been a few loaners sent to me just for review, and even the occasional free sample. With all three of those types, there is...

I ordered my XB1000s which should arrive in 2 weeks. I want to get the most of it so I would like to know my choices. I've been looking iBasso T3/4 and digiZoid ZO (I'd wait for the 2nd gen). I really like the 32 levels of boost in ZO and I was wondering will iBassos be able to match it/overcome it?

I am new to the portable headphone amp stuff, and I just bought like my 30 pair which are the Denon Ah-d1100 and I would like to know what would be the best PORTABLE HEADPHONE AMP FOR IT????? My price range is under $125. I was looking into the Nuforce Icon Mobile. because I trust that Brand...

This is a review of the Head-Direct RE0. I got them as a review sample a week ago, I have fully burned them in (50-60 hours), and listened to them for many hours a day. I have tried the provided tips, as well as other tips I have at home, and I am finally ready to write what I think of the...

Any ideas where I might be able to get one in the UK? The only place I've found that lists it is www.hifiheadphones.co.uk and they show it as "out of stock".   If not,could anyone recommend a similarly priced alternative?

Hey guys, I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 428's (my first pair of "audiophile" headphones), and now I'm looking to get a portable amp to go with it. I know absolutely nothing about amps right now, as I just recently started getting into high quality audio. I was wondering though...

I have a nearly new pair of DBT4, based on the 770 pro/80. My main amp has plenty of power on tap, so I'm tempted to swap in a pair of the 600ohm drivers as many have commented that they are the better driver in the standard Beyer. So I'm wondering if anyone else with T4's has tried this or if...

Now that i'm pretty close to getting my earphones, I've decided between 2 pairs (the Monster Turbine Pro Gold/Copper), I am looking at an amp to get around the $100 mark.... Reading around here and based on what folks have said I've found that for $100 the two mentioned are really good amps...

Hello,   It appears my RE0s have died after 1 and a half years, I expected them to last longer but oh well. I am looking for a replacement, but I'm not sure if I should buy the RE0 again, or try something else.   I listen to hip-hop, R&B, pop with a bit of old music like Dire Straits and...

I've got the V-Moda Crossfades and I am thinking about getting the Ultrasone DJ1's. Can anyone recommend an amp that gives the most bass boost without distorting the SQ? Preferably under $100. I already have a Cmoy off of ebay that gives around 7 dB of bass boost but the more I turn up the...

Hi Folks,   I've had these since the end of January.  When I first got them, I was extremely impressed by the bass response, however it seems to have degraded over time/burn-in.   Today I decided to pair them with an iBasso T4 i had hanging around, and was immediately impressed by the...

New to portable headphone amp, and my friend who live in HK sent me some models, what will be the most suitable one for me? I am going to get one from there. my gears Sandisk Fuze/Cowon D2IPOD TOUCH G3 + WESTONE UM3X/Shure 750DJ/Sennheisr HD650 Thanks for all your kind help!  ...

I just placed an order for the RE0 and was wondering if an amp is a must. I have a i-pod classic 120gb and will be picking up a clip+ shortly.   Cheers Josh

  Hello Headfiers, I have the opportunity to buy a secondhand ibasso T3. I am currently using a Clip+, ipod classic and ipod touch.(With ipods I would be using a LOD) My current headphones are : Yuin pk2, Ety Er6i, Audio-Technica ATH-AD900. I am pondering buying either Re0 or Ety...

It seems upgrade-itis has hit me, but I'm torn. Currently looking at the E7, NuForce Icon Mobile, and T3. Obviously my price range is around $100, and I just can't seem to decide which one to go with.   Current setup is as follows:   Fuze->custom LOD->E5/PA2V2->SE530/TF10/MTPC/ER-4S.  ...

Hello all, Ive been browsing these boards for some time and I decided after some time to get the Re Zero Limited Edition phones from Hifiman, After reading all the reviews I had understood that these phones are not bass heavy and are geared toward more detail oriented listening. I have to say...

$29 USPS first class shipping to China is what's keeping me from returning the ibasso t3 and their LOD that I got 10 days ago.(not having enough membership status is preventing me from selling it on the site.)    After careful reading and not enough rereading about amps and the Xcapes and my...

Hi,   Though I have benefitted from the conversations I have come across on Head-Fi forums a number of times (a very valuable resource), this is the first time I have started a thread.   My situation is that I am looking for a great music listening setup for on the go, with lossless...

Just wondering if i should pick one up. Ill be using my iPhone 4 as a source.

I bought of pair of Super.fi 5 EBs a year back and sold them after a week of listening. I loved that they had detachable cables, but I didn't like the overpowering bass and the sharp highs that make sibilance unbearable in most of my music.   Ever since, I've been using my Koss PortaPros...

Hi all,   I'd like to try IEM's but I know almost nothing about them. I would use them mainly (or only ?) while travelling by train or plane, so one very strong instance is isolation from outside noise; together with sound quality of course. So, first of all: do you think I could get a...

I want an amp that can be used with the XB700s (and the Beats tours for the move, but thats not really a big deal). Price limit would be <$100 (around, could shift a little). Will be using it on my laptop, but preferably portable, and weight/size is not too big of a matter. Would prefer no knobs...
