I am using FLAC from the MicroSD, a little experimentation I found that it seems to be a range/line of sight related thing. If I have the W3S next to the R2 it is ok, but if its a little distance away I get distortion, if it is not in line of sight I get distortion. I have not tried to stream...

I have had my R2 for a week or so now....very happy with it, but was wondering if anyone else has tried to use UAT 1.2M with a Hiby W3S? Everytime I try this combination I get terrible distortion/artefacts. Switching to UAT 900 or LDAC fixes it. I dont have any music better than 16-bit 44.1khz...

First thoughts on the Taotronics TT-BH060..... Disclaimer - I received these as prize from Taotronics via a Facebook competition. These are the first Taotronics over ear headphones that I have used. Box - nice, clean packaging, nothing fancy, only a few key specs on the side (why waste money...

Just a little thing called availability. In the arse end of the world known as Australia we no longer have access to Amazon US and Amazon AU only offers the EP002. Throw in the generally positive reviews, it seemed worth the punt. I'm guessing there is a little lost in translation. But it...

So the EP002's arrived. I can see what they mean by good but not brilliant ANC. But I'm sure that is not helped by not getting a great fit with the included tips.

Thank you, I will take a read

I normally bring the MDR-1000x on the plane/train with me, they work a treat. This next trip will see me try to slash the bulk/weight from my cabin bag hence the search for a lightweight ANC option, preferably something that wont break the bank. It does sound like the EP002 will be sufficient...

Thanks for the reply. Amazon AU doesn’t seem to have refurb/recertified but they do have occaisional discounts, so I will attempt to grab a pair when they are discounted. I expect them to be inferior in ANC to the big brands, but it is good to hear they are still good for constant ambient noise...

Great to see some reviews. I am actually looking at the newer model (TT-EP002) as they are available at the Amazon AU site. I’m looking for a set of ANC IEM’s for some travel that I am doing at the end of the year. Anyone have any experience witht the EP002?

Wondering if anyone can help. My iPod 20GB G4 Photo needed a new battery so I thought I would try to get the CF Mod going at the same time. The replacement battery worked a treat. I have my CF adapter (trimmed to fit) and have managed to get the iPod working with a 2GB and 4GB CF card. However...

So there is some travel planned for this year and after the joys of the ATH-ANC9's that I have travelled with on my last few trips I am looking to treat my GF to a set of ANC headphones/IEMs (she tried to steal my ANC9's last time). However, the upcoming trips look to be a pack light, lots of...

  I am starting the wonder if it is a card issue esp since a few other people have had issues with the EVO cards (on the Fiio Forums). I like the 128GB card as it will fit my FLAC collection and means I don't have to switch cards (microSD's are a pain to begin with). You may not have a need for...

Just another update...>FW1.6 is still no good for me in terms of skipping/pausing it seems to have reverted to hard pausing rather than skipping to the next track. It is worse some days. I am going to try to get a faster card to see if it is related to the memory card speed (currently using...

Just piping in to see if there is anything new on randomly skipping/pausing/restarting tracks on the X3II, currently running FW 1.4 with a 128GB Samsung Evo (looking for a smaller MicroSD to upgrade to 1.6). What has me intrigued is that if I manually restart the track it usually plays through...

Thanks for the heads up...I guess I will be upgrading my FW....Maybe it will get rid of the pausing/skipping completely.

Thats interesting.....I wonder what is different about 1.5     I don't remember a change from 1.3 to 1.4 in terms of UI letters....but I do know what you mean but small/thin font, it could be better but at the same time as long as it is readable (I dont have any issues  in this regard)

Its been a while and I am happy to say that the pauses seem to have become very infrequent with this firmware version.

I just had another random pause, and earlier I had a few instances of the player restarting the track, but that could have been me pressing the previous track button accidentally without noticing.  Anyone else experiencing the random pauses? I will try to take notice and report back if it...

UPDATE: upgraded to FW1.4 last night and so far the random pausing seems to have ceased. The improvement with the scroll wheel is definitely noticeable.   I am glad I chose the Fiio X3II as my new DAP. I'm loving this thing

I'm currently on FW1.3 I upgraded it as soon as I got the unit a few days ago. It worked fine yesterday but today it seems to randomly pause all the time. Should I just upgrade to FW1.4 and hope for the best?

I guess just for completeness, despite there being no replies I should just inform you what I ended up doing.   I managed to borrow a set of Senneheiser MMX450's and despite really enjoying the full feature set (ANC/Bluetooth) I found them to cause discomfort after a few hours. I managed to...

I ended up selling on the X-Fi HD to a friend. I found that I did not end up using it and it was boxed for most of the time I owned it.

I am looking into some ANC headphones, I have stayed well clear of these in the past but with some long flights (no doubt sleepless if my track record holds up) I am thinking these may help, or at least make the drone of the engines more bearable. I am not considering IEM's as they tend to...

any reccomendations for a good quality clip on in that price range?

Maybe try the DAC and the splitter with another computer. You could be picking up static interference from your computer itself (ie grounding issue, esp with a big PSU), working on the assumption that your ADG1's are more sensitive and you have had no issues on the iPad/smartphone.
