Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors Review
Headphones are transceivers like speakers, record players are source components so I don't think it is clear what you really want. If you want to you can use headphones with a high end vinyl setup as well.- bartus

JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC
What you also should check is if your problem applies to all the ports of the hub. A lot of hubs have a poor port layout based on chips that are wired in series. Debian based deveices often have problems with these as well, some of the ports would work some won't. I can imagine that a simmilar...- bartus

JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC
I didn't want to sound to direct or harsh at the beginning (as we Dutch people can be) but now I'm interested what do you think as an electro-mechanical engineer that amber is? Cause I can't think of any structural application in industrial design were amber could be applied other than for pure...- bartus

I suppose you mean an amber colored rod?!? Besides I suppose that it is not a question of saving money to use these switches, otherwise they would have used this type of switch for on/off as well. Other brands like Ray Samuels Audio use similar switches for products in higher price ranges.- bartus

That would be silly, You can't feed a DAC with a DAC output, so the answer is no. There is definetly DSP in the CCK to extract the digital sound singal (otherwise we could use a normal lightning cable) but this wil stay in the digital domain.- bartus

@Indieman don't get me wrong I have nothing against compressed files or Spotify in general and I realy enjoy music browsing/ discovery on the platform. But to my ears the highest resolution available on Spotify (320 kb/s if I remember ok)does not sound as good as a home made 192 kb/s mp3 rip...- bartus

JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC
I don't have the Apogee One or the HD580 but based on my experiences I would make this a reasonably definite NO. I have the Apogee Mini DAC in my home/speaker setup for the last 7 or 8 years now and if Apogee kept up their game just slightly it will outclass the c5d and Fiio e17. Furthermore...- bartus

Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors Review
So I finally jumped the gun. Long time ago I posted the question in this tread which dap /dac I should use with my UERMs since I was not fully convinced of the sound I was getting. As a temporarily and low profile solution I bought a ipod nano. Since I had good experience with the Fiio E6 I...- bartus

V-MODA VAMP VERZA/METALLO: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Crowdsourcing Ideas
I don't know if it has been mentioned in the previous 29 pages. But this Metalo case thing seems a bit strange to me. In the past iphone's had a huge problem with the original metal Element Vapor case. The signal strength of the iphone was reduced by a great margin due to the case that basically...- bartus

Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors Review
Ah thx a lot. I think I got it right this time. Find the insert position that creates maximum suction, hence best seal. Remove pressure and enjoy music. I guess learing is a slow process :)- bartus

Hi I keep asking questions. But could any of you please help me? If I test my seal with the sensapohinic test track 50 and 500 Hz tones. I can never get the 50 Hz tone to sound as loud as the 500 one. This would indicate a poor fit but in my opinion I actually have a very tight fit. I get some...- bartus

Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors Review
Hi, keep up the good work in giving usefull advise. My audiologist slightly modified my left earpiece. Altough it is already much beter I think it needs just a tad more grinding, so I will do that asap. The E11 is not realy a match made in heaven for the UERMs, but it does the job for now. The...- bartus

@Average Joe, I see that stepdance is a german company (next to the the netherlands) so that is convenient for me. But do you have any idea about the running time of the stepdance on one of those 9V batterys? I am sort of concerned that I will end up buying 5 of them a week.- bartus
