Ok, so I bought both the Fiio x1 and the Cayin N3 thinking I was going to get loud big sound. I like my bass and neither of the two put out enough. Sound quality is great, but just not there in the bass department. I'm running SoundMagic E10 and I have a set of Sennheiser IE8 that I waiting on...

Hey bud I appreciate your help. I have narrowed it down to 2. The Fiio X1 and the Bassplay that can be found in the link below. I like the look of the Bassplay and it seems to have good features, but I don't want looks to win over quality...

Gotcha! Thanks for all the info, are you familiar with this brand? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C4YPCG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A181KZK8NPP65U&psc=1

I guess I'm going to have to get used to the copy and pasting as I have a set budget, meaning the other half has decided for me. I was looking at the Cayin N3, never heard of the Hidizs. If it was your money and between the 3 what would you chose? Thank you for responding

Hello all, I am not versed in and have not dealt with a "good" MP3 Player. I am looking to upgrade from using my iphone. I would like something that has decent power as it will be powering my SoundMagic E50's and I would also like it to be compatible with itunes. Any suggestions would be...

Update number 2: I was finally able to get the USB to fit properly, had to really press it in there. But I still find myself wondering why I got it. After spending some time with it over the holiday I could not tell too much difference between the iPod and cowon sound wise. Anyone want to buy a...

UPDATE: Just received my Cowon this morning and I have to say the sound is great! But, I think I will be returning it. The USB connection to the device itself is horrible, I can't even get it to stay connected. How can you send a product out like this? I read that some have had an issue with...

Quote: That's a bit out of my budget!

Quote: I will selling the iphone to compensate for the Cowon. I have the EQu ap on the iphone and it sounds ok, just not wuite where I want it to be. And I'm honesly tired of the iphone.

Quote: I have a work phone and I'm ditching the iphone and saving myself $80 a month. I am looking at the X9 and other similar devices because I want something that can push the Senn's a bit harder with some more clarity. I am also trying to do this without having to purchase an external amp.

Ok, I have been doing some more reading and am a bit torn here. My question now is, do I just keep my iphone and get an amp to go along with it, or is it worth it to upgrade to the Cowon? Keep in mind I am using Sennheiser IE8's.

Ok, thank you for the replies. One more question, will I notice a difference in sound quality moving from the iphone to the Cowon? I have the EQu ap on th iphone, from my understanding the Cowon is an "amped" mp3 player?

Quote: Sorry for this but, does that mean I would plug my Cowon into my Mac, open itunes and drag the files to the Cowon?

I really did search, but did not find what I was looking for although, I may have missed it due to my not having a tech savy vocab. I am ditching my iphone and purchasing a Cowan X9 and would like to know how to convert my itunes library to transfer to my new player. Please be gentle, keep In...

Well I just received my ie8's and.............all I can say is WOW! Amazing what a good set of earbuds will do for the listening experience. Worth every penny and if you are looking for a set head on over to J&R's, great customer service and a great price as well. I also installed the EQu app on...
