iPhone 5 Audio Quality with headphones? is it better than the iPhone 4S?
Quote: This is awesome :) I thought the 5 wasn't driving my Beyerdynamic DT1350's with as much volume as the 4S did, but I've not tested them side by side yet to say for sure...- Siftah

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Quote: I can definitely hear the difference between 128 and 160, 192 and above - I know that for certain as it was the purchase of some Shure E2C in-ear phones a few years back which caused me to start to get interested in HiFi stuff. It also caused me to re-rip all my MP3's from the...- Siftah

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Quote: I'd be interested to know which track(s) and passages you can hear a difference on - just for my own interest really. It'd be interesting to know if either "my ears just ain't that good" or whether it's a case of training my ear to be able to hear the difference... I know...- Siftah

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
My E17 turned up a couple of weeks ago and I've listened to it a fair bit since then. Using the LOD from the iPhone 4S to the E17 and then Beyer DT1350's, I can't discern any difference between the E17 and the iPhone 4S's normal headphone out. Running the E17 from USB at 24bit, 96k...- Siftah

DAC for AirPort Express -> Mackie HR624
First off, an apology as this is slightly off topic, I'm looking to drive a pair of Mackie HR624's from an Airport Express and a DAC of some description. I would also like the DAC/AMP to be re-usable with my cans at some later point however, so I think this is still relevant to this forum. ...- Siftah

Review by 'Siftah' on item 'Beyerdynamic Tesla DT 1350'
I bought these to use in the office at work as my other headphones are Grado SR325is which are open and therefore bleed too much noise. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and trying to choose between these and the HD25-ii's. I'm very happy with this purchase - they don't sound *quite*...- Siftah

Review by 'Siftah' on item 'Grado SR325is Headphones'
These were my first pair of good headphones, having previously only had Shure E2C in-ear phones that were anything better than the usual iPod earbuds that (I guess) most of us start with. It was a nice surprise to listen to music with them at first - going through that process of...- Siftah

Will an aune mk2 do Grado SR325i's justice?
Well over a year since I received the AUNE, so I would imagine it's well and truly burned in by now :) I've since also aquired a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-1350's for use mainly in the office at work. The Grado's still sound the best, to my ears, but they're not ideal for the office with...- Siftah

Will an aune mk2 do Grado SR325i's justice?
Well nobody else replied, so I may as well update the post :) I ended up buying an AUNE Mk2 off eBay which was delivered today. First impressions are that the audio quality is better than I was getting from the RealTek ALC888 built into my mobo. I'm running the AUNE via the SP-DIF...- Siftah

Will an aune mk2 do Grado SR325i's justice?
Hey all, First post so be gentle with me - I've recently taken delivery of a lovely pair of Grado SR-325is which I'm currently driving straight from an iPod. I realise I need an amp to get the best performance from the cans however. I'd intended on using my normal desktop amp (an old...- Siftah
