    Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo - Discussion and Impressions Thread

      Just a thought: why do we need an extra box just to get digital signal out of the idevice? I wonder, with airplay, can the idevice just stream digital to whatever portable dac/amp? For example, the JH-3A box has a DAC and an amp, so if it is airplay compatible, you can keep your unwieldy...

    JH Audio JH-3A

    question: why cant the DAP feed digital signal to JH-3A wirelessly via bluetooth? The JH-3A will then be much more portable cos it wont need to be attached to the player all the time (can be put in your bag). THAT will seal the deal for me

    The UE18 Pro: Ultimate Ears Announces Their New Flagship Custom IEM

    yep, the red looks good when you view the earpieces as they are, but to me, when people wear red earpieces they make the ears look like they're bleeding. Green, orange and yellow looks like weird stuff (for e.g wax) coming out of the ears, clear and flesh color look like hearing aids. For me...

    TTVJ Portable (Slim) / ALO Rx?

    to add further into the discussion, is the ttvj shielded against rf signals? I've heard that the rx isnt and that it goes berserk when used with an iphone. I'm an iphone user myself, so it is a very important criterion in choosing my new next gen portable amp. if it is, then i'm sold

    Weaknesses of the JH13?

    ok let me be the first to give any weakness. I've owned the shure SE530 for half a year, and been listening and loving their sound straight from an iPhone 3GS unamped. Yesterday, I tried the JH-13 pro demo units. Everything is OMG What superb, but man, the bass is damn big. It may be becos...

    Inline mic for SE530?

    hmm those look really good. One last thing: those cables look pretty shady. Do they degrade the sound quality?

    Shure SE530 vs. Westone UM3X

    Had both IEMs. Sold the UM3X. SE530 sounds much more natural to these ears. And yes, they do jazz, pop and classical wonderfully

    Inline mic for SE530?

    Hi headfiers! Can the PTH unit be used as an inline mic for the iPhone? That's the only thing lacking from the SE530 for me, an inline mic. If it cant, is there any other inline accessories that can function as a mic? Thanks!

    Shure SE530 or Westone 3?

    Yo!!! Just came back from trying both phones out. Listened to them both for over 1 hour. I'll be honest. I've only used the apple earbuds and have never owned an IEM. My ears arent so discerning. But here's my impressions from today: SE530 is a tiny little bit more clear. I dont mean the lead...
