    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    As a UE-4 Pro owner I was intrigued by the UE900 when I first learned about them at their release last year. I've been lurking around in this thread for a long time curious to find out as much as possible. How do the quad armatures mesure up against the UE4 dual? Is the armatures of better or...

    iPad mini + camera connection kit + Dac = : )

    I can confirm that the iPad Mini ->CCK Lightning -> Dr Bott T3 hub -> NuForce HDP and that the iPad Mini ->CCK Lightning -> Dr Bott T3 hub -> AudioQuest DragonFly works perfectly.

    Mobile optimization

    Haven't been on the forum for a few weeks, pleasantly surprised to find the new mobile version. Good job! I always browse on either iPad or iPhone.

    Apple EarPods Thread

    I got my iPhone 5 yesterday. One of the first things I did after setting it up was to try out the new EarPods. I didn't expect much, but I have to say I was quite impressed after the initial five minutes of listening. These new Apple IEM's are a radical departure from the old ones. Fit and...

    AKG K550 - NEW!!

    I don't find the K550 to be sharp nor fatiguing. I've done some A/B testing with my K701, the K550 is much smoother in comparison.

    Focal Spirit One Headphones

    I got the chance to try these out today at a local high-fi exibition. Just a quick 15 minute test with a rather new pair so it might not be a fair test.   Compared to AKG K550:   In general: more comfortable headband, much better cable, a plus for the remote, good accessories (hardcase)...

    Apple iPhone/iPod/Ipad (ios) appreciation thread

    Tapatalk is a good forum reader. There's two versions, one universial for both iPad and iPhone, and one "HD" version for iPad only. I'm using the HD version, it works... :wink:

    Mobile Safari crashes alot...

    I just installed Tapatalk HD on my iPad. It looks promising. Unfortunately it doesn't support the subscribed threads, but it beats the constant crashing :blush:

    List of DACs that work with iPad

      Quote: Yes, you can use the HDP with the camera connection kit and a powered USB hub. I'm using it myself, sounds fantastic. I'm using my HDP with a small 4 port hub, the hub doesn't have to be plugged in to the wall wart. The only "issue" is that you can't stream 24/96 files with...

    Thinking of maybe changing my K701's for something more... musical

    I'll say it once more... Heed CanAmp

    Headphones to compliment Nuforce HDP

    I'm using my HDP with a pair of K701. I like it a lot and would recommend that combination to anyone who's after detail, clarity, transparency and neutrality. The bass is well defined without being either thin or boomy.

    Thinking of maybe changing my K701's for something more... musical

    Instead of new cans I would swap the m-stage for a Heed CanAmp. It makes the K701 sound warmer and musical without loosing out on clarity and head stage

    These crashes has nothing to do with Apple. I suspect the Google ads is the culprit...

    First thing I did As it happened the first time was to close any background app and then restart the iPad. It didn't help. Sometimes I can browse for a long time, other times it crashes instantly...

    AKG K550 vs Some others (denon d2000, akg k271, ultrasone edition 8, shure 940, shure 840, beyer dt770.....)

    I think they loud enough strait from iPad/iPhone/iPod. I've compared them straight from i-device and via a amp...not that big of a difference in SQ to my ears...

    I've noticed that mobile Safari on my iPad 2 crashes quite often when browsing the forums. Don't know if it's because of the ads in the right column, but I do suspect it...

    AKG K550 - NEW!!

    I agree on all of your accounts, except for the initial impression. Perhaps my expectation was on a more "realistic" level. My first impression was "good sound stage and a good clear and open sound for a closed headphone"....    I auditioned the Beyer T70 at the same time as the K550. The...

    AKG K550 - NEW!!

    I've had my pair of K-550 for about a week, I really like them. They are a good alternative to those times when I can't use my K-701 because of their sound leakage. Build quality is really good, value for money? Yes, my money is well spent!

    I'm interested in upgrading myself, would the UE Tripple.Fi 10 be considered to be a upgrade?

    Deciding between Custom and Universal IEMs

    I'm no good at describing SQ, do a search there's plenty of good reviews both in this forum and elsewhere ;) But to put it in a few words: they are a top tier IEM, among the best out there for reasonable money...

    Deciding between Custom and Universal IEMs

    Have you tried the Klipsch X10i ? Amongst the universial IEM's they're considered to be the most comfortable ones. I've also stayed away from IEM because of the irritation issue you mention, the Klipsch IEM are the only ones I can use for a period over half an hour. I've used my X10 for as long...
