Thank you for replying and also the links.

What is the best recording for St. Matthew's Passion sung in English? Thank you.

I am not good at explaining what I hear, but from what I own I can list them in order of preference:   Laptop > NuForce Icon HDP > AKG Q701 (foobar wasapi flac 16-44.1) Colorfly C3 > Sennheiser Momentum (flac 16-44.1) iPad Mini > Sennheiser Momentum (alac 16-44.1) Laptop > Sennheiser...

I was going to get BH for my C3 + Momentum. But after reading above comments, I don't know anymore...

Thanks everyone. It was just the cable. I tried it with another cable and it said USB Connected (on the C3) and on the PC, it "tried" to install driver but failed. USB mass storage was ready to use but it said Colorfly C3 driver was not installed properly. I disconnected C3 from PC and...

I tried restarting and different ports. I haven't tried different cable, I will run to the store and pick one up and try. Hopefully it works... When I plug it in it says (on the C3) "Charging" "Power & Play" "Power Only" but no driver gets installed. Weird....   Anyways I've been listening...

Hi, I just picked up C3. Really enjoying it, love the sq out of Sennheiser Momentum. I'm not an audiophile, I can't describe what I'm hearing like some of you but after listening to a familiar song and then re-listening to the same song out of my laptop (without NuForce Icon HDP) I can easily...

I have rooted Galaxy Note. I love installing roms on it and soon (whenever developers release) we will have jelly bean on our devices. So I was wondering, does that mean I can use usb audio? Because I almost bought FiiO E17 to use with my ICS Galaxy Note but I was glad to have read that ICS...

Mine looks just like yours. I believe they have revised their foam since I got mine 2weeks ago.   By the way, what does putting padding in the upper section do to SQ?

I picked up B&W P5 few weeks ago (after recently posting this thread) I needed to check if I could hear the "distortion" on this headphone. Yes it is still there.. I was kind of surprised to hear it.. although it is not as apparent as Q701. Anyways I thought I should report back.

What position on ears do you guys find the best sound? For me it's a little bit back and tilted foward.

For me I become very fond of P5's sound sig after few listening sessions. I'm sure you will enjoy this phone.

Very interesting.. I didn't realize that the foam would "cover" the driver area when pressed. I put this to test by taking off ear cup and pressing on it to see how much foam is visible. So when it is pressed (by hand) it seems the blue foam spills out a little.. about 1mm. Although I doubt my...

I am pretty sure mine was not in the "initial production" line.. I just picked them up ~10days ago... This makes me want to go to Apple Store and open some of the P5s on display :)

First day I got the P5, I had it on for about 3~4hrs and I had to take it off due to pain in the top of my ears. But the next day I never had this problem for even having it longer. Now (5days in) I find it incredibly comfortable to use, barely noticing having it on my head.. except taking it...

I ended up getting the P5 few days ago. Do you know if a dac/amp like FiiO E7 will make sound better from MBA/ipod for P5? I tried it out with NuForce Icon HDP with P5 and it sounds much better. I just don't know how much the E7 (or other similarly priced) dac/amp will improve sound. If not...

I recently picked up Bowers&Wilkons P5. It gets mixed reviews on this forum but to me they sound good. Before this I used AKG Q701 + NuForce Icon HDP and comparing these two side by side I would have never chose to buy P5 based solely on it's sound quality. But to be fair, it wasn't a fair...

I checked the blue foam on mine and it is already shaped to the driver (like your modded pics). I guess that is why I haven't really had any complaints regarding its muffled bass or lack of clarity. However, I do notice what others describe in lack of clarity in treble.. compared to listening to...

bump :)

I have a MacBook Air 13" and which I take with me everyday to school/library. I am looking for a portable Dac/Amp + Headphone that I can connect to laptop / listen to music while I study. Also if the Dac/Amp can LOD to my Samsung Galaxy S2 (phone) when the Android4.0 comes out that would be...

I'm really confused.. first of all, I am new to Mac OS X and Amarra so please could someone explain to me like I'm a child.   I have NuForce Icon HDP connected USB to MacBook Air 13" (2011). Under Audio Midi settings, I chose HDP as "output device (speaker icon)" and Internal Speakers as...

Thanks for the great tips. I will definitely try those iTunes alternatives since I have some (not much) 24/96. I wish Foobar2000 worked on mac osx :(

I purchased MacBook Air 13" (2011) today. I have never used Mac Os X before. Always used Windows. I am now setting up programs and stuff. Before (on Windows) I've used Windows 7 > Foobar2000 > Wasapi > NuForce Icon HDP > AKG Q701. So now on Mac I was going to download Foobar2000 (if it is...

I googled tinnitus. I don't think I have this condition but I might, who knows. I only hear these distortion on this specific track. If I listen to some other song with better sound quality and with high frequency, I don't hear this distortion. So I suspect that the problem is with this song...

I recently found a pretty neat "album" that taught me how recognize these audiophile terms. It's called: Ultimate Demonstration Disc; Chesky Records' Guide to Critical Listening. It gives you brief explanation of terms followed by example (full) song. 1. High Resolution 2. Depth 3...
