    Non-music options for audiophile source material? High quality ASMR recordings?

    Quote:   Thanks for your suggestions.  Yes rhead, I do listen to some post-rock like God Speed and Explosions in the Sky.  Haven't listened to Bass Communion, but that song sounds interesting. But What I am looking for is something with a lot of texture.  Here are the two songs that got...

    Sansa Clip Zip or Clip+ ?

    Yeah, thanks guys.  With auto update off and load to RAM on, the delay went away.  My problem was that I was not restarting it between changing those options so they didn't really go into effect.

    Sansa Clip Zip or Clip+ ?

    Hey, all.  Just got a 64GB card for my rockboxed (3.13) Clip Zip.  Formatted to FAT32 with 4k clusters (not a quick format) and filled with HQ VBR MP3s.  However, now it is markedly less responsive when browsing the database.  The card is a Sandisk Ultra card Class 10.  I have set it to...

    Non-music options for audiophile source material? High quality ASMR recordings?

    Hey all,   I just got a pair of W4R and am really enjoying them.  I am into electronic, IDM, and ambient music, but I find myself drawn to content with very interesting sounds and  textures since getting the new EIMs.  There are especially a couple of Squarepusher songs with effects that...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Hey, I keep to a strict 640k data footprint. All of my mp3s are encoded at a bitrate of 2.

    Quote:   I realize that other people are going to have different needs/wants.  Certainly more input and output options are a real plus and will make the end product much more versatile.  It is not a matter of price for me, it is a matter of longevity and redundancy.  I already have tons...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    I would like it to be solar powered and include a police scanner.  Oh and GPS, so I can tag where my songs have been listened to!

    Quote: That would be really cool!  I really wish there was something like the Nano 6th Gen with expandable storage.  Pair that with 2 x 64 GB cards and something like RSA's The Shadow for one slick portable rig.

    That is a really good idea.  I will have to look into if there is a store around me with that kind of stuff.

    I do have Rockbox, I am using "Simple (Meier)" under crossfeed (as recommended by other head-fi'ers), but I have to admit, I am not really sure what all of those settings do.

    FiiO E6 - story of the tiny amp continues... (w/ review on 1st page)

    I have been playing FLAC files.  It just sound so much more distant (especially the vocals) compared to how it sounds when I play them through the computer.  The detail is there but something is off that really gets in the way of my enjoyment.  Perhaps it is just an EQ issue, but I cannot seem...

    What is the equation? The Clip Zip output max is 18mW @ 160 Ohms and up to .54 V.  The W4Rs have a sensitivity of 118dB @ 1 mW and an impedance of 31 Ohms.  I only listen at about half volume, so I think they are getting enough power, but what about control?
