    Fiio E10 - sound only from iTunes nothing else

    I have my Fiio E10 connected to my computer and it was working just fine with everything (YouTube, Foobar, iTunes etc.)   But I gave my computer a restart and now the E10 doesn't work with anything other than iTunes and VLC... It's very odd. Here is some background information and things I've...

    E10 - Olympus vs. Version2?

    I'm on headphonebar.com right now and they have two E10s.   The Version2 E10 is on sale for $59.99 while the 'new' Olympus E10 is selling full price for $79.99.   What are the differences between the two? Which one is the better buy?     Here are the links. Version 2...

    Are Studio Beats by Dr Dre really that bad?

    I haven't hear the Studios, but the Pros are muddy as hell. It just drowns out everything, especially the "crisp" you want.   I'm sure the Studios aren't too far off when they come to sound.

    Shure SE535 Special Edition

    Just received my set from AccessoryJack! No custom charges, 4 business day delivery (Express shipping), I'm impressed.   As for the hissing, it's worse than the SE215 which i suspected...   Any way to combat it? Would an external DAC be the solution? Because it seems to get worse from...

    Shure SE535 Special Edition

    Is www.accessoryjack.com legitimate?   I might jump the gun on this one if it is! But I suspect I'll get hit pretty hard on Custom charges since I live in Canada. Anyone with any experience shopping from accessoryjack?   A question about the notorious IEM hissing, since the SE535s have a...

    Blackberry Playbook

    Has anyone who posted here actually used the Playbook?   I got one at the discounted price and I must say the gestures for multitasking and such are much more intuitive than the iPad.   The button just doesn't cut it. Don't take my word for it, but at least give it a shot yourself. The...

    Blackberry Playbook

    The Playbook does have it's limitations, mainly lack of native email and calender (to a lesser extent no BBM), but for $199 I don't think there is a better tablet.   From what I've read, Playbooks are flying off the shelves with the $300 price cut. So that just shows that at full price...

    Blackberry Playbook

    The Blackberry Playbook is on sale! $300 off each model, making the 16gb only $199! (Might be Canada only)   I know Blackberry/RIM isn't in a good spot right now but for $199, it can't be that bad right?   So how is the Playbook as an audio source? Anyone own one? Is there any way to run...

    Experience buying on eBay from China

    Anyone have good or bad experiences from buying headphones on eBay from China? I'm talking about the listings that say "Genuine" and have good feedback ratings.   I'm looking at buying some Shure SE215s and the best price I could find was on eBay.   Now the price is reasonably cheaper...

    Portable Amp Recommendation

    Deviating a bit, but does the E11 work as a DAC with the E9 desktop amp?   If it does, is there some heavy configuring needed to make them work together?
