    Portable "Pocket" amp delivering 500mW @ 110Ohm???

    It seemed very interesting as it's not too thick, I never seen a portable amp with such power, thanks to the 2x9v batteries I guess though the fact you can't even charge them through USB is very anti-userfriendly and dumb. But in the review when I read the following below that it's "slower" and...

    24bit vs 16bit, the myth exploded!

    100% Agree with what you said that I took off from this quote, as yes I can totally understand this extra headroom is needed for the mixing phase, but not to us final user listening at it. I'm just not entirely sure to understand though what you meant in that quote above. Did you mean that I...

    24bit vs 16bit, the myth exploded!

    Wow this is one of the most interesting read I've done. I might be almost 10 years late but this is still relevant info that anybody should know. At least now I know my ears aren't wrong as I was like "What I can't hear any tiny difference AT ALL between regular files and those higher bit super...

    Portable "Pocket" amp delivering 500mW @ 110Ohm???

    Hello! I have a question which for some reason the answer appears to be extremely hard to find and I can hardly believe that I'd be the only person wondering this... I have a (Fiio X5 III and II) which is ALREADY suppose to have a very good DAC inside as it's in the main reason to buy such...

    Woo Audio WA8 Review - Head-Fi TV

    Exactly what I think, and the WA8 is the same price as the WA6-SE that I just bought and it's far less powerful. The WA8 is still far below the recommended 500mW at 110Ohm that Audeze recommends for my LCD3 and the WA8 is still too big to fit into my pyjama's pockets when I walk around the house...

    TOTL Headphones Comparison

    I would be really curious to hear the LCD4 as they cost exactly twice the price of the already expensive LCD3 at regular price. I'm lucky 2 weeks ago that I managed to buy the LCD 3 for the extremely good price of only 1200$USD, then I bought a store demo of the (Woo WA6-SE) at just 825$USD...

    Professional vs Home: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs Beyerdynamic Amiron Home

    Thanks a lot for your personal input. Looking from their website, the products in stock etc I did get exactly the same impression that you've described. Man if we are cheap people cause we buy 1000-1500$ headphone then I wonder what they think of >90% of the population that buy garbage <200$...

    Professional vs Home: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs Beyerdynamic Amiron Home

    So you mean that the way it clamps is like it is, and you cannot "stretch" it so lessen the effect and it won't get slacker over time, it's always gonna clamp that much? I'd just like to know even if I can still wear them several hours, just that I wouldn't qualify them as confortable "set and...

    Professional vs Home: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs Beyerdynamic Amiron Home

    Hi guys, I've finally received my DT1990 Pro saturday by Amazon, much faster than I expected and they did confirm me I had a 30 days satisfaction guaranteed. I haven't tested them for 8H yet but so far here's what I can say compare to my T90 which has been replaced by the not so good looking...

    Professional vs Home: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs Beyerdynamic Amiron Home

    I tried one that came out on Google when I typed (Beyerdynamic Montreal) and unsurprisingly they only had like 2 models, of which their "best" was the cheap DT770 like seriously?! I so hate how even these audio instrument stores either carry very few headphone or if they do, they just have...

    Professional vs Home: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro vs Beyerdynamic Amiron Home

    Hi guys, I've read the whole first page and I'm still a bit confuse as to what would be best for me. I'll try to place some calls as it is VERY RARE that a local store will have any Beyerdynamic stuff, yet even let you sample them. Most seem to just carry the bigger brands such as "Sennheiser...

    NAD M51 Direct Digital DAC Impressions

    Hi guys and everyone who also own a NAD M51, I've got an important question for you! I've been having mine for almost 3 weeks, connected trhough USB on my computer. I've got the XLR to my Rotel's power amp, and thought about using the RCA's output for my headphone so I could quickly switch...

    Reply to review by 'panzeriv' on item 'Sennheiser HD 800 S'

    Got to listen at them 2 minutes today for the very first time, on my (Fiio X5 ii + Fiio A5) but it was kind of hard to concentrate with the sale rep staying still 4 feets from me, as if I would steal the headphone (-_-). The first thing I quickly noticed compare to anything I've had is that it...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Hi everyone, I've got questions for those who've got to try these headphones (Beyerdynamic T90, DT1990, Sennheiser HD800S) as I currently own the T90 and so far I've never been that much satisfied with an headphone, and like them even slightly more since I've replaced my portable (Fiio E12) amp...

    Reply to review by 'panzeriv' on item 'FiiO A5 Portable Headphone Amplifier'

    @Panos T Ya you should be able to do it through the charging port at the bottom. When I had my (iPod Classic 80Gb) I would use that Line-Out to go from a large iPod connector to a 3.5mm then directly to a cheap portable amp. It says in the description of the E18 that you can connect it to an...

    Reply to review by 'panzeriv' on item 'FiiO A5 Portable Headphone Amplifier'

    It's confusing for the (TMA-2) there is too many choice on the website for the same model, plus different drivers, just What? Anyhow if it is just small 40mm drivers at 32Ohm, then you wouldn't really need an amp in my opinion. I have 50mm 250Ohm drivers, I MUST have an amp for my (Beyerdynamic...

    Reply to review by 'panzeriv' on item 'FiiO A5 Portable Headphone Amplifier'

    @Panos T That really depends on your headphone and what you plan to do in the futur. Remember that getting stuff seperately is always better than having a "2 in 1" device. Just think about it, if the E18 can fit inside both a DAC and an AMP, don't you think it's AMP section is gonna be as good...

    @Brooko Unfortunately there isn't a single damn ******* local store in Canada or at least Quebec province, that has Fiio product in stock ready to try. There is only 1 place I know and they don't hold all of them, and most often just the cheaper models. That's what I hate about high-end stuff...

    ★★ What is the Top 3-5 portable amps WITHOUT a DAC? ★★

    Hmm, that's actualy pretty darn expensive, mostly considering that's USD and as usual the shipping from USA to Canada is gonna be ridiculous even in a small box. I've check the whole website of Ray and it's very confusing, there is way too much choices, no comparaison chart, no guideline to...

    Bitperfect & Foobar2000 vs 192Khz Upscalling through external DAC?

    1- So if I understand right, you mean that the closer you sit to your speaker such as my current 2 meter, the less likely I am to notice a difference with the improved latency of BitPerfect? If yes then it means it is totaly useless for headphone listening since it can't really be any closer?  ...

    Bitperfect & Foobar2000 vs 192Khz Upscalling through external DAC?

    Hi everyone,   I've read so many time that to get better sound quality you had to use (Bit Perfect // Asio) rather than the default sound codec of Windows but honnestly back then I never noticed any difference, and now that I have a damn expensive setup compare to what I used to have, I still...

    Here's what I currently use for my portable setup: Headphone = Beyerdynamic T90 Amp = Fiio E12 "Bass/Cross Disabled, Low Gain usualy at 12'o" DAP = Fiio X5 II   It seems like there's a lot more choice for desktop amps which I'll be asking in a seperate thread not to confuse the subject...

    Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling

    500$USD + 37$ Shipping just for this small amp is crazy, in a negative way obviously. I've paid 680$USD for a huge and powerful brand new (Rotel RB-1552 MKII) at a store, and actualy on Amazon.ca that MKIII is only 403$CAD so 300$USD. This drop is a total scam.
