Quote: If anyone knows this I would love to hear it too.  Also I noticed someone mentioning the iBasso T3 as an alternative.  I'm curious how it stacks up to the other two as well.  Thanks.  

Addidas Samba Millenium:     and some Vibram FiveFingers Bikila are what I just bought this month:     Already own a pair of Diesel high-tops:   [I can't find a good picture anywhere of these; I'll update when I do or if I bother to take my own]   and a pair of Asics...

Thanks mark, I'm excited to here your opinion when you finish testing.     In my shuffling through old posts since my original post I've also found a used Total Bithead and the Vivid Technologies V1 sell for roughly the same price.  I've heard quite a few good opinions about the Total...

I forgot to mention I'll be using whatever I buy with my JVC RX-700s and I plan on purchasing some AKG 701's and either some MeElectronics Ai-M6 or the Brainwavz M2 in the near future as well.  The 701's will be what I use mainly after purchasing them.  

Hi all,   I'm looking at buying a ~$100 USB DAC/Amp and these two (the Fiio E7 and Nuforce Icon Mobile) have stood out to me.  Has anyone here listened to both devices that can tell me how they stack up against one another?  If anyone has any recommendations besides these two that would be...

Quote: That's disappointing, but it makes sense.  Which do you prefer, the m6 or the r02?  

Thanks for the detailed review mark.  I think these are my favorite based on what I've read so far.  Like I said in the other thread though, I'm still going to test them and some other soon I think.  

Quote: That would be a good reason haha.  Thanks for the advice guys.  I think I'm going to chicago soon anyways, so I'll probably try to find these models in various stores and test them out to decide my preference while I'm there.  

  Quote: I was just reading ljokerl's massive 81 IEM review and the R03's and MEElectronic M6's stood out in particular to me.  Any particular reason you recommend the R03 over the R02?  

Hi guys,    This past year I said goodbye to my old Shure E2C's after irrevocably pulling the cord out of the ear bud on accident.  Having been in school at the time, I was broke and couldn't even afford to replace them with a cheapo crap pair of ear buds even if I wanted, but now I'm out...

I'm still new to this, and hadn't really looked into what a DAC is even until today. I just looked it up after reading about someone possibly trying out a USB DAC with his Nokia N900 (portable) since it is technically a computer. This made me curious for use with both my PC and my own smart...

Thanks, Quote: Klipsch image S4. I've seen these compared to REO's from Headdirect a bit around here and that the REO's might be lacking in personality and emotion in favor of technicality; how would you say the S4's compare in those terms? I have found I prefer emotion and...

My E2C's broke the other night and they're out of warranty by just under a month now, so instead of paying $50 to get them repaired, I'm thinking I'll just buy a new pair for slightly more. It's been a few years since I was in the market, so I have no idea what's out there anymore and am...
