This thread focus is about portable audio technology, feel free to post anything amazing or useful. Quote: This design has very few limited parts and a large diaphragm, so it is easy to have big bass in the response of the design. The diaphragm works like an air pump in a pressure...

Inclusive of anything portable: pmp, portable amps and etc. For me it was at least US$5000 over ten years.

I have auditioned from a store that only had ibasso for their portable amps(15min session) D10: This is like a desktop amp replacement, but it's way too big to lug around. More "controlled" than the D4. D4 Mamba: Exciting amp, improved bass, but the iffy on the size D2 + Boa: slight...

For me it had to be the Shure SE530: Reasons: Build Quality: 1st pair cable cracked less than 1 year of use. Replacement pair broke(with proper care this time) within 1 year of replacement. Bad Customer Service: Shure won't replace the cracked replacement unit but offered to sell me...

I was wondering how does EMU 0404 match up to standalone CD decks from Sony, Denon and alike? Especially since the AKM dac on the EMU 0404 is intended for SACD/DVDA equipment. I am talking about CD Audio playback purposes only.

My Muvo "decided" to expose itself to me, and here's what I saw: Philips TEA5767 FM Radio Chip Sigmatel STMP3520B Mp3 Decoder So it runs on a 75MHz DSP.

Hehe, no it is not about free Ipods, I read the forum notice. Yes, the offer is real, it is official on Creative Website: http://www.creative.com/zenmicro/con...ome.asp?tr=178 All you have to do is play a free game. Not open to EU region though.

I tried to compare a CD audio ripped with WMA9(240-355kbps VBR) vs Mp3(Lame v3.97alpha, Extreme VBR). It seems like the Lame Encoder was able to retain more music details than the WMA format and not to mention that the mp3 is slightly smaller. Equipment: Creative Muvo Micro N200 1GB...

Well this is mine: 1) 1995 Opti ISA soundcard: hopeless, noisy POS 2) 1997 Creative AWE32 ISA: EMU8000 and Soundfonts changed my PC MIDI! Wow! ISA bus is still very noisy. 2) 1999 Creative Soundblaster Live: with DSP! EAX and Hardware 3D Acceleration wow! , but it was the start of the...

Creative Muvo Micro N200 1GB Recently I gotten myself a new portable music device. It is small, light and has more storage space than a CDROM disc! 994MB usable on Windows/Firmware display. It runs on the new Sigmatel D-Major Decoder which has the following features: 18Bit Sigma-Delta...

Audigy4 Pro Specs Disappointing. I thought they would have used the EMU design to allow for true 16/44KHz ASIO which is all so important for Foobar.

As shown in this site, ER-4 requires EQ to achieve "better" sound http://www.linkwitzlab.com/reference_earphones.htm I have the following settings on the EMU PatchMix: 1 Band Para EQ: 7500Hz -8.0dB 5.0semitones 1 Band Para EQ: 2500Hz -5.0dB 5.0semitones In my own uncontrolled testing...
