Hi Recently I bought myself a Cowon V5, which has a digital out. Well the problem is that, when plugged in my D10, there is a strange hiss every 4-5 seconds. It is freaking me out. I do not know what to do. I tried my D10 with another spdif out and it worked out well. So everything should...

Hi First I want to introduce, what I want to build: I would like to replace the stock cable, because it has a 1/4" plug and it is too long for portable use. Another thing is, that someone told me that i can just put on a 3.5 mm plug on it, but I do not want to destroy the stock cable. Also...

Hi next week, after money landed on my paypal account, I will buy new headphones. First I was pretty sure that I want to buy the Ultrasone pro 900, but then I saw that Audio technica releases the ath-es10. However my headphones right now are the Sennheiser IE8 and ATH-ESW9. I like them...

Hi 2 hours before I bought a new Fuze . When I unboxed it and test heard it (sounds very good), I recognized that I did not touch the stock headphones in the box. Then I thought about it and recognized that I already have 4 untouched headphones at home. They are condemned to be forever in...

Hi As you can see in my signature, I have a Ipod video 5g. I would like to turn it in DIYMod. I would like to keep it low-cost, and want to use it with a Cmoy. So I ask you experienced Head-Fiers: How good or bad is my Idea?

Hi Actually I was pretty sure what headphone I want: Firstly a ESW9(250€), then reconsidered and chose the Ultrasone Proline 900(330€). BUT since I do not have so much money that often, i cannot buy new headphones that fast again when I do not like them. I have tried some full-size...
