I just bought a Clip Zip and haven't been able to find any Meier crossfeed Rockbox builds for it. Found one for my Clip+ and love it, but I really miss the Meier crossfeed on the Zip. Has anyone made a build of this yet?   On a related note, is there any particular reason why the Meier patch...

As the title states, I'm looking for my first good set of full-size cans. I've got Koss KSC75s, Portapros, and JVC HA-RX700s, but I want something high-end. I'm used to IEMs and my main set are Etymotic HF5s (with a 100 ohm impedance adapter). If I could get something as good as or better with a...

Does anyone know if there's any good speaker docks around $50 for the Fuze or iPod Photo? I just want something that sounds halfway decent to listen to while I'm about to go to sleep or working in my shed. Fuze dock would be nice, but an iPod dock would give me an excuse to do the 32GB CF mod...

Since September, I've been using RE0s. Recently, I got a mini3, and although I really like my setup, I'd like some IEMs with more speed for heavy metal. I really don't need an upgrade, but more speed would be nice, and I've been scared since my RE0s broke 6 months after buying them (right side...

I ordered a mini3 recently, and I realized I'll need a charger for it. I've got some Ni-Mh 9v batteries and a charger for them, but I'd rather use a wallwart to just plug in the back of the mini3. Might as well take advantage of the charging circuit instead of having to change out the batteries...

My BSG Cmoy was a good starter amp, but I'm looking for something that'll let me get more oomph out of my RE0s. Narrowed it down to a solder_monkey (MisterX?) mini^3 or ibasso T3D. My budget is $100-$150. The digital volume control on the T3D looks pretty cool, but if it doesn't have enough...

Thinking about upgrading from my RE0s. Not necessarily in the immediate future, but just something to think about for the next few months or so. They're great IEMs, but they seem to be lacking a bit of speed. Something with a bit more bass quantity, clarity, detail, and replaceable cables would...

I recently acquired an 80GB 5.5G iPod, but the hard drive seems to be toast. Tests say it has bad sectors, it'll only load a short amount of files before freezing up, and hitting it doesn't fix it (it worked with my 4th gens...). I'm in need of some advice. Other than loading music up on the...

This issue is creeping me out. I bought an Upstart 900 mah battery for my iPod Photo, and it won't charge. I put it in correctly, but it won't charge at all with Rockbox, the Apple firmware, or disk mode. I've tried it with the old firewire charger, the new USB charger, and over USB to my...

This Christmas, I managed to rack up $120 worth of Best Buy gift cards. I'm trying to think of what to spend them on, and full-size headphones came to mind. So, like the title says, are there any good headphones at Best Buy? I'm not going to sell my gift cards or anything like that, so I'm down...

I've got a slight issue I need some help with. I've got a biosciencegeek cmoy, a rockboxed iPod Photo, and an LOD, but when I have the volume pot below halfway or so, the left channel seems to disappear. This wouldn't be as much of an issue, but some of my music is mastered too loud, and the...

First of all, I used the search function, but still couldn't find what I was looking for (even in the tutorials). I apologize if what I'm posting has been asked to death. I'm looking to get into DIY cabling. Just mini to mini interconnects for now (for my Clip+ to amp and such). I've already...

A few days ago, I got a used original 8GB iPhone for free (1st gen, 2g, whatever you call it). Pretty neat device. After jailbreaking and unlocking it, I got to wondering about using it as a DAP, but I don't want to have to convert all my FLAC and OGG files again. Being able to avoid iTunes...

Since I've got my RE0's, I love them, but my UHP336's sound awful to me now. I'm thinking about picking up a set of IEMs for secondary use (good for out in the woods without breaking my RE0's). I would just use the UHP336's, but they sound all muddy to me now, their fit isn't very good for my...

Thinking about getting a Clip+. I don't really need it, but I've got a few questions. How does the sound quality compare to the iPod Photo and 120GB Zune? If it's better, does it sound warmer, cleaner, etc.? Is the MicroSD card/slot protected in any way? If it gets bumped the wrong way, will it...

Got a Fiio Walkbox for my birthday, and I've got a few questions. Not sure if this is the right section, but I guess it'll do for now. Anyway, my biggest concern is what kind of rechargeable batteries I should use. Obviously they should be AAA, but what kind should I get? Would some Duracells or...

Thinking about upgrading from my Altec Lansing UHP336's to a ~$100 (US) IEM. I've got my sights set on Klipsch Custom 2's for $80, but I'm also seeing good things about the RE0. Would the Westone UM1's be any good? I've heard bad things about them, but I don't know how true they are. The...

So, I came across a 4th gen 20 GB iPod for $26. It had some issues, one of which was "Capacity: 0." Opened it up, disconnected and reconnected the hard drive cables, and it worked. It kept freezing up every 20 minutes or so, but after a few good whacks, I think it's working fine now. It played...

Hey guys, I finally got some more money today, and I'm working out my budget. I've got an audio fund, and right now, it's got $180 in it. From what I'm reading and hearing, the next upgrade I should consider would be some new IEMs (see my sig for current setup). Please keep in mind that this...

Hey guys, I finally raised enough money to buy an amp and ended up getting one from BSG. While I'm wating for it to be built and shipped, what other stuff do I need to buy for it? I've already got a 120 GB Zune (with WMA Lossless) and earbuds (Altec Lansing UHP336's), but I know I need a...

Hey guys, One of my friends has a 4th gen 20 GB iPod (the one with the HP logo on the back), and I was wondering about a possible hard drive mod. Would a 160 GB iPod Classic drive fit in the case or would it be too thick? It needs a new battery too, but how reliable are the aftermarket...

Hi guys, I'm Mark, and I'm new here. Right now, I'm trying to upgrade my portable system, and need some advice. First of all, I've got a 120 GB Zune with about 105 GB of 192 WMA (not pro) music files on it. For earbuds (I need portability and I like earbuds/canal buds the best), I've got a...
