Android phone as a DAP - Advantages and disavantages
Just to share my updates on this subject. For the past months I've been using the Nexus 7 for this purpose, and it fits my needs. At work I use it with the FiiO E11 and the Momentum's, and the sound is really great. Eventually I use it at home too. I sold my Nexus 7 2012, upgraded to the...- rfcarvalho

Sennheiser 5X8ShortCable (with 3.5mm plug) now available for HD-5x8 owners
This is expensive. But I'll buy it anyway. I agree that this should be on the box, by default. And I'm still looking for a decent case to store the phones too, they deserve that too. -
Noozxoide for Android
I installed Noozxoide some days ago and have been stunned. My setup is Nexus 7 > Fiio E11 > Sennheiser Momentum, and I was pretty satisfied with the EQ of the amp - using no other EQ's in the players. I started playing around with Noozxoide and some of the settings really sounded good...- rfcarvalho

Quote: I'm from Portugal and Google Music is available here for some months, too. I don't have as much experience with subscribed services as you. I've been using Google Music since 0-day, and they improved it a lot since then. I already loved the service, and today I tried the...- rfcarvalho

Android phone as a DAP - Advantages and disavantages
The F806 surely seems to have a great amp, it's a nice player. But not that cheap. The Fiio X3 is being released now, it doesn't have the convinience of having Android, but I'm still deciding if that is nice feature to have or not. The iPod Classic is surely gaining more and more my...- rfcarvalho

Review by 'rfcarvalho' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM'
Just bought these in new condition at HALF the retail price , after recently started reading about them, paid just 150 euros for them... what a finding! As soon as I got them to work, 2 colleagues tried them, and they both ordered a set in 5 minutes time! My previous reference as a...- rfcarvalho

Fiio E18
Subscribed... may well be interested in this! Specially if the all OTG - DAC - Android version, etc mess is solved by this device! Maybe, as others users already suggested, with the installation of an app that would provide the USB driver... I have an Samsung Galaxy Express and don't have...- rfcarvalho

Android phone as a DAP - Advantages and disavantages

Let me give a liittle introduction: - Recently I bought the Sennheiser Momentum, and if I was pretty satisfied with any kind of source for my Koss Porta Pro, in this case I noticed that the source plays a big part...- rfcarvalho

Nexus 7 advice - Upgrade audio with JVC HA-S500s or FiiO E07k. Please help
I was not satisfied with the sound of my Nexus 7 too, since I bought the Sennheiser Momentum, but today I tried a Fiio E11 and it does improve the sound A LOT. The sound stage, volume reached, and all frequencies are improved. I am seriously thinking about that setup. My main question, is...- rfcarvalho

AKG K 450
I have my K450 for around 3 months now, using them mainly at work, and I have mixed feelings about them. Overall I am pleased with the sound, but there is no sound stage at all. The sound is too "focused". Must agree about the muddy mids and treble, I gotta tune the EQ to surpass this...- rfcarvalho
