    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a transportable case for the AEONs? I have tried the official hard case, but it requires me to detach the cables and reattach every time. It also does not have some sort of ring which I can use to hook it to a carabiner to my bag. For...

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Any recommendations of DAC/amps for a transportable rig? Most suggestions I see here are for desktop/home use. I heard that the Mojo pairs well with the Aeons, any other suggestions? Thanks! Edit: Currently I'm using an iBasso DAC/amp, will any other combinations do much better?

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

    Thanks! Good to know that the M1 can be used to stream all sounds instead of just a certain app. In my currently setup (mobile phone -> CIEM), when I am listening to songs and I get a phone call or text, I hear the ringing/notification and can respond to it. Previously, I was using a dedicated...

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

    Hey guys, I've searched much of this thread but would like to clarify 2 things:   1) We can pair it with a phone via bluetooth and all the sounds from the phone can be streamed through it? (E.g., even notifications, phone calls, sounds from games, etc., i.e., this pairing is non-app specific)...

    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    Ok maybe this is a dumb question but are the Ether C Flows foldable or compactable to be put into a messenger bag?   For example, How do you guys normally carry your Ethers around if you commute light everyday?   (Can't wait, I'm getting the C Flows with a Mojo next month with my paycheck )

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Hi, I'm looking for a headphone to complement my IEMs and I'm considering this but I have a few questions. - How is it with and without an amp? Does it make a big difference or can I drive it with a phone? I'm thinking I might get a full Sony combo of this and the PHA3 - Does balanced make a...

    The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread

    Haha thanks for your recommendation. Hmmm, maybe I'm not looking for that portable (I mean, since the Rendition 1 isn't that small). Maybe another DAC the size of the Rendition 1 would be fine? I guess I should say "transportable".   Thanks :)

    Hello, thanks for everyone's advice. I'm probably going for fiio x3 -> DAC -> Rendition 1 -> 8A haha.   Any suggestions for a good portable DAC for this? Also, any impressions of the Rendition 1? They seem quite rare at the moment.   Thanks.

    Hello, I think I was last in this thread maybe 50 pages ago haha.   I'm finally going to get the 8A probably in the next few days :)   I want to build a system from scratch. I'm trying to balance between portability and SQ.   Right now I'm thinking of either a high end DAP -> 8A or...

    The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread

    I saw the Heir Audio website for their customs that there is an option for Wizard to help us design my CIEMs artwork and design? To be honest, I think that that's a great idea for me, however, I was wondering is it possible to give any specifications to the design (such as maybe, let it be...

    Hahaha, after such a long time without browsing headfi regularly (I occasionally peak a bit) after I got my JH13s 4 years ago I'm finally back now that my 13s died on me :(   Really interested in Heir Audio, especially when I'm looking for a full transportable setup instead of just a CIEM...

    Looking for customs or a CIEM system like the JH3A or PP6, no price limit, basically want a "end-all" solution. I don't really know what I'm looking for too so I need advice. Here are some of my past experiences with IEMs and my opinions on the different ones I have tried, hopefully it will give...

    Unique Melody Platform Pure 6 (PP6) - review (1st post), discussion, appreciation, & tour thread

    Sorry for bumping this.   I was pretty cynical about the price-performance value of this product at first, but now I'm warming up to another pair of customs. My JH13s spoilt and JH isn't replying my emails. :(   Any reviews/impressions of this so far? (I've only read some camjam ones)...

    Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread

    Hi I've asked this in the sansa clip zip thread too.   I was just wondering if anyone with a W4r and a clip zip say whether there is hiss on it. Also, just to confirm, cables don't really cause hiss right? I plan to use aftermarket Lune mkII cables from Null Audio for my W4r.   So does...

    New Sansa Clip Zip is out!

    Hi guys, just wanted to ask a few questions, I'm thinking of getting a zip for jogging :)   1. Any Westone 4R users here? How is the zip with them? Any hiss? 2. Does Rockboxing give gapless to mp3 files and crossfade?   Thanks.

    A newbie's simple comparison of the Westone UM3X and Westone 4R - No amps, no frilly cables, just an iPhone 4S

    Awesome post! Ex-UM3X user but switched to customs. Now that they are spoilt I'm considering switching back to Universals and the 4R seems like a good choice :)

    Nah, that was just a tongue in cheek comment. Guess that doesn't convey well through the internet.   Seriously though, can't wait to try these out and decide between these and the 3A.

    Ah, was going for the 3A, now staying put for this and see what happens first.   Why can't they just add an SD card slot and a screen to this, and tout this as the first active crossover DAP :D

    List of DACs that work with iPad

    I also believe that the DAC is used to for the same reasons...that the CCK only supplies digital out.   A bit of hiss at higher levels for me. Slightly better than stock iPad out with the JH13s. I guess the word to describe it is "precise". All my music sounds more precise with it, piano...

    List of DACs that work with iPad

        Just some info for the community since you guys have helped me so much.   iBasso D6 works with CCK directly without powered USB. Its iPad 3, D6 on battery mode.   Notice that the iPad doesn't have the music volume select part...i think that means that the volume part is done by...
