intel quick sync video + mediaespresso makes transcoding videos to ipad so much faster...it would convert a 1.5gb mkv into mp4 in 3 mins.

ifixit crew cracked open the ipad 2 and confirm theres no wolfson dac :(   http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/KjEnYiJxkqS2SKuI   Apple-branded 338S0940 A0BZ1101 SGP. This looks like the Cirrus audio codec Chipworks found in the Verizon iPhone  

Quote: agreed 100%...if devs support the platform with great apps, its a win. Android is great, but being fragmented with so many different devices, iOS always gets the new apps first.

anyone know if this comes with the cirrus logic dac or the new wolfson dac chip?

wolfson are definately coming back..they already stated that the iphone 5 and ipod touch 5g will be using wolfson dac   http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2010/10/01/49572/wolfson-audio-in-iphone-5-and-ipad-2-says-taiwan-report.htm

Quote: Did the same..however whenever i run with them or look up at the ceiling while lifting weights, it breaks the seal and i lose the bass.  I have to consistently keep a steady head if i want a good seal. Do you have this issue?

Apple will be switching to 24-bit audio for their itunes store... expect better dacs in next gen iphones and ipods!   http://edition.cnn.com/2011/TECH/web/02/22/24.bit.music/index.html?hpt=T2

i have a imod for sale in my sig 

you can try wraping electric tape around the ends of the cables to make them more solid

i have to say it all comes down to fit..if u have "that" perfect seal, it will sound great.

+1 on NuForce   I have the udac2 and its great.

Quote:   It just feels like its really sticking out there  

is it suppose to stick out this much when you wear them?   I was hoping it would fit more like this:  

Quote: Both ears do have the same amount of seal...however when i push upwards, it doesn't POP like you mention. Although if i push "inward" i get a complete seal similar to my comply foams...maybe i just need to get these adjusted to fit tighter? Does fisher sand down the molds cause it...

Quote: As i mention this is my first custom iem..how do i know if the "fit" is perfect? When i have them on, i can still clearly hear ambient noise and people talking around me..just at a lower volume. It surely does not feel completely sealed off like how i use to have using the comply...
