I have the Black and red motherboard (black pcb) with the 600ohm amp built in.I might go with the e10k or magni2uber stack. Thanks for the replys everyone!

Sorry for the confusion, by v2 i meant AD900x the newest revision, and by boosting them to 300ohms i should have said that the sound card has a gain setting the is used to support headphones that are rated to run at that spec. It made them sound so much louder and better than running them at the...

Hi,   I used to be lucky enough to own an Asus STX sound card that was paired with a set of audio Technica AD 700's. Unfortunately after downsizing my pc to a mini itx form factor build i don't have any PCI slots for a dedicated sound card and i was looking for the next best thing. I have...

Thanks for taking the time to do that test, i will admit clarity on this device is outstanding but i just wish there was more volume. Anyway i will probably just wait to see if the kitkat update fixes this otherwise i will be putting a custom rom on this. Right now im using the z1c with a ZO2...

Thanks dc-k, i'm beginning think it might have been something my carrier did on the rom build not sony.

damn it! I suppose my carrier had something to so with thia then, do you have the UK version version? What app did you use to play music with? Im using gonemad music player, my cloud player and soundcloud

Thanks for doing that, hopefully im not crazy haha

Hey im using atrio m5s with m7 drivers. These have excellent sub bass reproduction. Im in brisbane, i wouldnt think they would change the sound either but its definitely not as loud as other devices.I would say it's about 35% quiter than every other phone ive tested it against in store(htc one...

I just bought this phone in australia from our largest carrier 'telstra' and i am sad to say that i love everything about this EXCEPT the sound! Coming from the htc one x and my daily rig being the NWZ F808 paired with atrio m7s and a headstage amp i noticed that the Z1C not only lacks volume...

While this may be true, during my own comparisons while searching for the best music player I found cubed player and GoneMad and found it to sound more open with better clarity. I don't know how it does it, and technically it should just be the the chip that holds the key to SQ but give them a...

Try Cubed player or GoneMad music player, both have better sound quality than all the apps mentions above in my opinion.

They are pretty good... for the price. Sometimes I think they are too fast and the bass lacks extension but that's just me I'm picky :) not as comfy as the M50s but they are more fun to listen and they have pretty good sound stage for a 40mm driver. I think i will try the AKG k267's next, but...

Guess the headphones...  

    Sony F806 with Headstage Arrow 4G and Sony MDR-EX0300

Quote: Good news, my WS77 have just arrived. So far they sound pretty good, I like them better than the ATH M50's. Comfort levels are good and there is plenty of bass. I will burn these in over night and see how they go.
