Hi, does anyone have the similar problem that I am experiencing for the iAudion X5 battery. The battery is being drained right after fully charging; I have to charge it again the next day after using it for ~one hour. I have tried to perform the DIY battery replacement with the LG battery. It...

Hi, I am planning to recable my HD580 and I've read that Canare star quad is not a good performer for headphone cable. Does anyone know the next step up from Canare star quad? Also, which is a better plug between Canare F16 and Neutrik NP3C-B (http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=212)? I did try...

Hi, is the EarMax a step up from the MF X-Can v2 with Pany caps modded (not based on price point) for HD580? Does anyone have any experience with the clone version (file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/rquan/download/EarMax%20Clone.htm) vs the real EarMax? Thanks. Raymond

Sorry, double post!

Does anyone know if there is any protective skin (other than the LCD sreen protector) for iAudio X5 on the market and how much it is and where to get it? I am looking for something like the BSE. Thanks. Raymond

Hi, I am thinking of building an extension cable using another HD580 cable but have no idea where to get the adaptor (I don't what it's called) for the end connecting to the phone cable. Thanks. Ray

Hi, can you please check the rating (V and A) of the adaptor for the D777? I got one with suspicious adaptor (no marking) which can power up and play the D777 but seems to fail charging the gumstick new batteries. I am planning to buy another generic one that's why I need the power rating...

Hi, my HD580 is on the way and I am wondering if the AV receiver, say Arcam AVR100, will do the HD580 justice? Or do I need a delicate amp like PPA to drive it? It will be used mainly at home. Thanks. Raymond

Hi, I have just bought two NH-14WM and a Sony BC-7DC2 dual charger to use with my D777. After having the batteries charged for overnight, they only lasted for around 2 CD's play time! Do the batteries only last that long? Or were they not getting fully charged? Thanks for any inputs. Raymond

Hi, I am planning to sell my Sony D311 due to the fact that I have spent too much $ on other hobby - digital photography :-(. I am wondering what the present going rate for D311 is? It is in excellent condition, with remote control, original ear phones, DC adaptor, but w/o external battery pack...

Hi, is there any way to select a DC wal wart for the META42, except choosing the right voltage and minimum Amper, which might affect the sound performance? Thanks. Raymond

Hi All, Have you ever tried to connect a rather sensitive headphone (let's say PX200) directly (unamped) to the line out? Is it normal to hear some distortion in that way? I am asking this since I want to try out the famed line-out of the D311, when I connect the META42 (newly acquired as...

Hi, I listen my Sony D311 through a Senn PX200 directly from the headphone out. Do you think the PX200 can reveil all the potential of the D311? Do I need a amp connected to the line out in order to get the better performance of the D311 (with the already sensitive PX200)? Or do I need a better...

Hi, I have just got a D311 without the external battery pack (just the adaptor) and I am planning to make one myself. Does anyone know what is the proper voltage/# of battery to connect to D311? Is it just 2 AA (3V) as the external battery pack specified? But then, why is the original adaptor...

Hi, I have a chance to acquire either Sony D11 or Pany CT470 at almost the same price. Which one do you think is better sound quality vice? Thanks. Ray
