    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    Just wanted to stop by and say the E5 is working (so far) with the iPhone 8 Plus. There was a major issue with the iPhone 7 Plus and the E5 having all kinds of fun sounding distortion, skipping, etc. But so far it's working great. iPhone 8 Plus 256GB Verizon/Qualcomm version running iOS 11, E5...

    iPhone 7/7+ Compact External DAC/Amp Thread

    Just wanted to stop by and say that the Creative Sound Blaster E5 works with the iPhone 8 Plus. Whatever issue there was with the iPhone 7 Plus has been resolved. Kind of sucks it required a whole new device to finally fix. But hey it works again! 256GB iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 11.

    iPhone 7/7+ Compact External DAC/Amp Thread

    I have the exact same issue. I have an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB. Lightning to Sound Blaster E5 presents all sorts of fun issues in regards to popping, skipping, clicking, screeching. The iPhone itself works fine otherwise. The Lightning to 3.5mm adapter works great. It works fine in both of my cars...

    Well, it's been many months since I even posted on this forum. My A900X has gotten a lot of use in that time. "A lot" is an understatement.   In the last several months the way the headphones fit and feel has changed dramatically. Out of the box they are a bit on the stiff side and not very...

    I just want to say I have a few issues with this review. Other than the fact that the "review" seems heavily biased against the A900X from the start, it honestly sounds like the A900X "review" was done on either a fresh out of the box set or an in store demo. Why?    Well, let's look at the...

    SR60-Mod part II

    Just wanted to say I have the original SR60. I finally did the quarter mod and I pulled out the little white vinyl cover. It's freakin amazing how much better these things sound now. It doesn't sound like I'm listening to music through a pillow any more! heh. They still sound like they need to...

    Just got the Mac Book Pro!

    Quote: No need to fix my post with your opinion.   And I still have yet to see how Mac OS X is better than Windows. It can't play blu-ray discs, it can't play modern games, it can't play older games as good as they run on Windows.   Now that Lion is out, we can discuss the flaws...

    iphone 4 sound quality

    iPhone 4 owner since day one here. I've either had my iPhone "naked" or using the free bumper case. Device is as close to mint condition as it can be. Even had it knocked out of my hand and it fell face down and flat on concrete while using the bumper case. Not a mark on it. You'd have to be...

    Quote: "Getting the job done" when it comes to certain tasks. Basic web browsing, emailing, writing basic documents, editing home movies for DVDs. But thats about it. Modern PCs are very powerful, so you can use them for work and play. But not a Mac. You either have to deal with...

    ipod (apple) customer support appreciation thread.

    Heh, okay, I'll bite. I'll just talk about my most recent Apple "Care" experience and not all of my other pleasant run ins with Apple"Care" over the years that resulted in me being without my Mac for WEEKS at a time. So I bought the new iPod nano last year shortly after it was released...

    Just got the Mac Book Pro!

    Spareribs, might want to make sure you're REALLY happy with your purchase before going too far with your MBP. The honeymoon period WILL wear off. I bought my first Mac 4 years ago and I regretted it shortly after the return window closed. Apple's build quality forced me through two replacements...

    iPad 2 first impressions. Will you be getting one ?

    Got to play with the iPad 2 yesterday for a good amount of time. Thankfully, the headphone jack isn't recessed.   Cameras are "neat", should have been in iPad 1. But the rear facing camera is bad to the point of being useless.   Can't comment on sound quality.   Couldn't tell a real...

    iPad 2 first impressions. Will you be getting one ?

    Went to edit my post and it somehow got lost.   Anyway, as I said before, theres no justification for Apple's treatment of customers. No matter how people spin it. The original iPad should not have been intentionally kept a generation behind.   People need to think about that before...

    iPad 2 first impressions. Will you be getting one ?

    First gen iPad owner since launch day.   I'm disappointed in a few ways. First, I do think the CPU + GPU upgrade is nice, if it actually performs that well in real world situations.   Disappointed because FaceTime should have been a part of the original iPad. That shouldn't have been...

    6G Nano - why did it take Apple this long ??

    Be careful with the 6G nano. These things do sound good, but the build quality is terrible. "terrible" is being polite, since we're not allowed to use "bad words" here.     The first one I had, the sleep/wake button died after 7 weeks of use.    This second one now, the screen is...

    FiiO E5 for Audio Technica ATH-A500 and Grado SR60, possibly KSC-75 or MEelec M9?

    Don't really know where to start! I'm not concerned with volume. My main sources are an iPhone 4, iPod nano 6G, and iPad.    I really just want better sound. I remember using the line-out of my old iPod 5.5G in the past and hearing just how much better it sounded. Especially the increased...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Quote: I might just have to!   Quote: Yeah they come with the comfy pads.    I remember something from a few years ago where people would take those ugly yellow pads that Radioshack sells and cut holes in them and use them on their SR-60s. Anyone know about that?

    Grado Fan Club!

    Question time!   I've had a pair of Grado SR-60s for a couple of years now. Conveniently got them just a couple of months before the SR-60i was released! hah. When I got them I burned them in for about 40 hours and the sound didn't really change too much. To me they still sound a little...

    Koss KSC-75 v. Audio Technica ATH-EM7 GM? Also considering MEelec M9

    So I've had the Koss KSC-75 for awhile. It's actually my second pair. The sound quality on the first pair seemed to deteriorate with age after a few years and now the second pair seems to be doing the same. It just seems to get muffled with time. For the price though, it's hard to complain even...
