Damn, I'm tempted to upgrade my quads to the V8's!

  To be honest, I don't think I'll have the time. Adding on top of that, I don't have "Golden Ears" haha. If I do, I'll post up results.

  Just did a test with stock player with all enhancements turned off. HTC One (no carrier branding) Sony Z1 Compact (no carrier branding)   Test tracks (both flac): - Diana Krall, 'S Wonderful Live in Paris - Tool, The Pot   Gotta say overall the Z1 compact kicked ass. To me, it was...

  Have you tried using the stock player? (Walkman)   When I test tonight I'll be testing with the stock player (HTC) with all settings turned off. It will be flac files. For the iPhone I'm not sure how or what I'll test with unless I convert to aiff... which I'm lazy to do.   Seeing as he...

  I'll test it tonight with HTC One and iPhone 5. I'm using 1964 Quads though. From memory the impendance is 4x ohms. (43 IIRC)

  What earphones are you using? I got my phone from the UK, it's totally unbranded. Wonder if local firmware has tweaks, highly unlikely they'd tweak the sound part though. You in Sydney?

Re: charging. You can get aftermarket USB cables which use the "charging dock" pins on the side.   That is how I'm charging in the car. I only ever open the micro-USB cover when I need to move flac around :)   Volume is sufficient with my 1964 ears quad IEM and the Z1C. Loving the form...

Anyone got custom cables made with music control for their 1964 ears?

I would suggest using forwarding company like comgateway.com :) Quote:

Thinking about the schiit magni, 130mW @ 600ohm... is that enough to drive the 880/600's?

I have Quads without soft tips and they are comfortable to me have had them in for a 9hr flight. I think it largely depends on how well your audiologist was when taking your impressions.

Working fine for me. Maybe it's your ISP?

Wow V6. Tempted but I'm quite happy with my Quads.
