I am interested in getting my first CIEM [edited - and now adding first DAP]. I've tried a few brands of CIEMs [but not DAPs yet] here in Hong Kong and I think I am down to my final decision but I just wanted to see if I have missed some brand that I never thought about. I have no clue where to...

I will be making my first trip into Japan, Tokyo in this case. I will be there for about a week. I have traditionally been interested in headphones only but this time my planned purchase is an IEM (I would consider a CIEM but this trip is too short to complete such a purchase). Any suggestions...

Not sure if I was supposed to post it here or in the portable amps section. But need a quick reply so here goes. About to buy but just wanted to ask this for a quick response. Mainly to use as a dac but sometimes as a portable too. Thanks in advance.

You are probably saying, “Oh no, not another ‘HD-800 and what amp?’ thread!” I am sorry but in some ways it is that, and for other specifics, it is not; and I didn’t want to hijack the other HD-800 and amp threads. And hopefully I am posting this in the correct forum but if not, may I ask that a...

I saw this in one of those local stores that sell anything, used and new. They had this Sansui Signature Series HT 7000 DVD player for sale. It has USB and SD card capability and it is selling for about $45 US.   I cannot believe it but I have not been able to find a single bit of information...

So I've had the HD800 for about three weeks now. I am loving them more and more each day. A little background (you can skip this if you just want to provide some advice on tube options for me, lol): like another member, I was 99% about to buy the TH900 about six weeks ago. Then shortly after...

I started this thread in the Headphone Amps (full-size) forum but someone suggested that I should move it to this forum. I guess my situation kind of fits in both forums (entry/mid level full size amp paired with high-end headphone) so I hope it will be fine for me to be in both forums. Please...

I am prematurely searching for a mate for the HD800 that I do not own yet.   But if I can acquire said amp(/dac) from my HP retailer, I have a better chance to negotiate a package deal. This is where I am at now and here is my story. I apologize for the length of it so here goes...   Recent...

(I'm not sure why all these empty lines are showing up. I went back to try and delete them but they won't go away.) I currently use a 3rd gen iPod Touch with E17 for my music and a cheap "Dumb" phone as my mobile.  I only use a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) sim card because I don't use the phone much...

Hello Headfi'ers,   I need to make a decision fairly soon on this. I like to have a good amount of punch in the mids (not recessed) and I like sharp crispy highs as well.  I do not like the warm sound that is typical on the Sennheisers (except the HD-25).  Something like the ATH-ES7 but I...

Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers,   Let me start off by saying that I am not a techie so I would appreciate any help or advice on this decision.   Brief background: I have a 3G iPod Touch.  My wife likes the games in it over those in her BB, so now she would like one too.  My eyes light up...

Sorry to start another one of these threads but I need your help if you have any suggestions.  I brought my Nu Force NE-7M for repair the other day and ended up checking out closed HP.  I came across the Ultrasone Zino, I know - they are not closed :(, and bought them because they sounded very...

I just ordered a (3G - I hope) 32GB iPod Touch (from airmiles.ca) and I will be receiving it in mid-December when my friend from Toronto comes to visit me here in Hong Kong. I wouldn't consider myself a techno-geek, nor do I have a lot of time to do all those fancy things with the Touch. So I...

So I have enough Airmiles (airmiles.ca) to redeem for an iTouch, should I do it? I need to replace my iPod nano 4GB because it is running out of space. I only started looking, but I am considering the Clip+ (8GB), Cowon D2+ (8 or 16GB), or the Cowon S9 (32GB). For whatever reason, every...

I came across this article in a Health Newsletter that I receive via email. If you have a heart condition or you simply need an excuse to sit in isolation away from your spouse for an hour or two, the use this article accordingly. Cheers! ---------------------- They say music can...
