    Upcoming Sony Xperia Z. DAC?

    Beats Audio is just software processing/eq'ing, can't match hardware chip, like Wolfson DAC.  My current phone is dying after a brief moment in hot noodle soup bath and am in the market for a replacement phone/pmp.  I always loved Sony Walkman and I still do have S545 with E17.  I was hoping...

    TDK BA200 Thread

    I will have to stop reading this forum!  just got my FXT90L2 back in January and though I loved it, I wanted little more depth and width.  From what you posted so far it sounded like BA200 definitely have that.  I'm curious as to what I would gain coming from FXT90L2.   thanks for sharing..

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    Quote:   Right, I was talking about "amount" of bass present.  I was, too, somewhat skeptical and toiled over FXT90, GR07 and RE262.  From what I heard so far, it is fairly flat and "fun" with a small hump in mid-bass - of course, that could also mean it was the source material, putting...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    Quote: From just having it burned in for little over 36 hours, the bass is full and quite punchy, to my ears.  I also have AKG K518DJ, known for over emphasized bass, the bass in FXT90 is very similar - just as full and impactful.  I say the original tip brings out the bass and other...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    Quote:   I just browsed through eBay and thought I saw some sellers selling the limited edition.  anyway, as for the difference in cables - I don't have the original black version but I read somewhere that the limited edition is little more microphonic.  From what I can tell so far...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    I made the purchase on 22nd, received shipping notification on the 25th and received on the 28th.  I did not expected until the 6th or so.  The cable has the feel of cloth and less of sticky rubber.

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    Just received my FXT90L2 from Japan.  The shipping was lightning fast!  Extremely surprise by the seller's commitment.    I   I was even more surprised by the quality of the cable, has less of rubbery feel to it.   My initial impressions:   It is every bit like what I got from...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Quote: Thanks for your impression.  I don't suppose I could go wrong with either one.  I will be using with FiiO E17, if it ever gets delivered, hope that it'll be the extra "frosting" on already a good cake.

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    I'm so close to pulling the trigger either on RE262 or GR07, and still can't decide.  In idealistic world, I would love both slightly colored lows with ample punches, clear mids and crispy but non-fatiguing trebles with excellent depth and width - can one of these do better than the other?  I...

    AKG K81/518 DJ/LE Thread and *Review*

    Thanks.  I saw your pics with the pad, looks pretty darn nice.  How is the sound isolation with those pads?  I saw the pads selling at eBay for well over $30US.  I paid just $49.00 for a new set of the K81DJ - don't know if it's worth it to shell out that much more for pads.  I would love to...

    [Review] HiFiMAN RE262 - Sophisticated and Beautiful

    Quote: Sorry to jump in.  I am very interested in either GR07 or RE-262, but still having reservation.  I like plentiful and impactful bass (rock/electronica) and I fear either one of these might disappoint.  At the moment, after reading Syphen606's impression, I'm at a distant with the...

    AKG K81/518 DJ/LE Thread and *Review*

    Quote:   I, too, like my modded K81DJ.  Although I have average head, it is somewhat tight and hurts top of my head if I wear it longer than 30 minutes.  Anyway, here's my modded can.       It's not as fancy as what most people have done, but it is functional and a definite...

    Which is better Hifiman RE-262, VSONIC GR07 or Sony MDR-EX600

    Quote: Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.  It sounds like RE-262s might benefit from amping due to lower sensitivity and higher impedance.  I don't suppose "amp"ing the RE-262 will make it little more faster, perhaps near GR07?  I'm not familiar with whether...
