Fantastic comparison bcwang. And most importantly, after making a help request thread (which bricked and sank with no one offering any replies) your suggestion regarding settings with Asio4all FINALLY enabled me to get it to work with my udac-2!! Can't thank you enough. The improvement is...

Quote: Hey Maestro,   I can definitely vouch for the somewhat high degree of difficulty my sources have driving the mc5s. They were fine using my FiiO E7 or my udac-2 but coming straight out of my laptop, Blackberry, and 1st gen ipod nano they were unable to get to a decent volume...

Wow, that's not good. We've definitely have different experiences with the unit then. Sorry to hear you're having problems.   Quote:

That's funny. I run a similar setup with my Dell e6400 laptop and when I run the udac-2 with my ety 4ps with S cable I hear no noise at all. As long as I plug in my headphones with the unit turned off and then turn it on it's completely silent. Out of curiosity, I tried switching out headphones...

I just recently got a pair of these myself and am amazed at the quality of sound. I'm driving them with the uDAC-2 out of my laptop and it's wonderful. Can't wait to do a comparison to my er-4p's when I get them back from Etymotics.

Really? No one? Bump.

Quote: I got a FiiO E7 and was using it for a few days and was mostly pleased with it, but before I knew it the upgrade bug hit me again and I got the udac2. The E7 has a lot going for it with the screen and form factor and portability should you ever want to use it away from your...

Hey guys,   Just received my Udac-2 from debitsohn (thanks again man!) and have hooked it up to my laptop and when trying to use it with Asio4all in Foobar2000 I'm not getting any sound output. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and software and I followed the instructions in the...

Quote: I bought a replacement cable from xin feng's website (whatever happened to that guy? I'd love to have a supermini IV!) and used it for a while but for some reason that escapes me, I ended up switching back to the the original. Don't think I'll be replacing the cable again this...

Quote: I personally don't think it's necessary to boost the bass on the MC5's at all. Then again I haven't been a "basshead" like that since high school. It's up to your personal preference, but you definitely wouldn't damage them by employing bass boost (unless perhaps you pushed them...

Count me as another very impressed user of these IEMs. I owned the er-4p's for years but stopped using them for a while when the cables became damaged through normal wear and tear. I went to different IEMs over the years (Denons mostly) but ended getting these when my prior Denons stopped...

Wow, that Pink Floyd looks incredible too. Now downloading the FLAC, can't wait. Thanks man. I knew there was a good reason for me to come back to the forums. Ha.

http://www.el-p-weareallgoingtoburninhell.com/   Based on a quick search I know there are at least a few El-P fans on this board and I didn't see a thread about this album already so I figured I'd share. He released this album on Aug 3rd and it's an all instrumental collection of rare and...

http://kindofbloop.com/   Not sure if this has been posted before. Basically, it's Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album reimagined as 8-bit music (think of the music soundtracks for your old NES, Amiga, C-64 games). It may be considered blasphemous by some, but I have to say that I'm quite...

Because I don't want this thread to go completely ignored like my last one......<bump>
