Small cd transport
Good questions one and all. Basically all of them have remotes, coax out, good (enough) displays, and I dont care about upsampling. But how noisy or not the transport is DOES matter to me, and thats where I need some advice from those who know.- Donnnie

Small cd transport
I seem to be in the same boat as many of you. I'm in the market for a small form factor CD Transport, which will be connected to my TEAC AI-503 via coax, preferrably <$500 Here's what I've narrowed it down to: * Cayin Mini-CD * Little Dot CDP II * Shanling Tempo eC1B * TEAC PD-301 * PRO-JECT...- Donnnie

Topping D50
Thank you Baten! The download worked and did the trick. However I tend to think you're right about returning the D50. I'm trying one more thing recommended by a user who said they swapped cables with a subwoofer cable and coax started working. If that doesnt do it, I'm moving on from the D50...- Donnnie

Topping D50
I'm having TWO serious issues with my new Topping D50 that I hope someone can help me with. #1. I get an NSIS ERROR when trying to run ASIOProxyInstall-0.7.2.exe which I've downloaded from their site several times. #2. No sound using COAX Input from a known previously-working source. PLEASE...- Donnnie

1more Quad Driver
Ok, I know how much people hate these kind of questions. Hell I HATE asking it. But I'm going to anyway - My current phones are the M-Audio IE20XB .... Would the 1MORE be a step up in sound or not?- Donnnie

Comment by 'Donnnie' in article 'Grado Modification Overview'
If my 325is had 50% more bass and a less fatiguing mid - highs, they'd be perfect. I use them with an ipad going to a Fiio E17 (via USB). I don't trust myself properly doing a major mod, but I did try the tape mod and it's good. Does anyone out there do hole-punch mods for people too scared to...- Donnnie

Fiio E17 + Fiio E09 = Should I even bother?
I've been enjoying using the Fiio E17 for over a year now, and it serves many purposes throughout my listening day. By day, I have it hooked via USB to my PC, then out to my home stereo via the L7 LOD. By night, I use it to listen to music on my ipad with headphones connected to the Fiio E7...- Donnnie

Fiio E7/E9 vs E17/E9 vs E10?
A question : I'm currently running the E17 from my PC to my NAD 3130 receiver using the L7 line out dock. Although it sounds phenomenal, it would look and function a lot better if I had it docked into an E09k. My fear is I heard the sound is not as good with that setup (having the E09...- Donnnie

The Monoprice MP9927 PG 208.. MP8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..
You mention recabling. I know it might be overkill on a $7 iem, but IF one was to install a new cable, what specific kind would you use? Would there be any anticipated changes to the sound with new wiring (good, bad, or indifferent?)- Donnnie

The Monoprice MP9927 PG 208.. MP8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..
On the recommendation of the group I grabbed a pair of the 8320s. Im really digging them, so much so in fact that I'm selling my Klipsch Image X10. To be honest im still using the stock tips (until the Complys arrive) so the fit and comfort are so-so. However when paired with the Fiio E11 the...- Donnnie

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Sadly, this week I sold my Senneheisers for a pair of KLIPSCH X-10 which are more suitable for my use. But the HD598s will always have a place in my heart! ;)- Donnnie
