    Looking for closed-back headphone for listening at my office

    I just found out about AKG-K550, this could be a good fit. I own K702 and have been happy with it. The lower price does not hurt either.   Can anyone compare AKG-K550 vs. Audio technica ATX-W5000 or others in higher price range? I know they are in different price range however I wonder...

    Looking for closed-back headphone for listening at my office

    Hi,   I am looking for a headphone for listening at a large cubicle shared with three other people. Minimal leakage is needed so it does not bother the other folks as I tend to listening in mid to high volume.   I currently own: - Audeze LCD-2 - Westone ES5   I purchased...

    iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.

    One way iBasso could do is provide an interface (that does the hi-res plumbing) that PowerAmp could call. Or, if PowerAmp already has an interface, then, iBasso can implement it. By an interface here, I mean a software interface, not a UI interface.   This way, both parties' intellectual...

    +1, I read that before and after experiencing it myself, I agree. It will save a lot of the software development time and they can just focus on the hardware instead, which is what they are good at.   Quote:

      I am only on my day one playing with dx100, however, it is very apparent that iBasso's player has long way to go to become user friendly. PowerAmp is so much nicer in every aspect except the ability to play hi-res files.   Quote:

    Just got mine today as well and loaded some songs.   I notice that the iBasso player lists the songs on an album in reversed order. This was reported as a bug before on another thread.   Do you know if this is supposed to be fixed already? Any workaround?   I almost always listen...

    What is Rockbox? Is it worth doing it to my Sansa Clip Zip?

    I installed Rockbox on my Sansa Clip+ a week ago. It is great firmware with more options than the Sansa firmware.   BTW, Rockbox firmware is installed side by side with the Sansa Clip+ firmware, so you can always toggle between the two. You can boot your Sansa Clip+ with Sansa firmware by...

    iBasso DX100 Reference DAP - ES9018 inside

    +1   Although, just by reading how fast the Head-fiers here uncover bugs, I suspect their beta testers are not a super user. It would be nice if iBasso and other companies have the Head-fiers here sign-up for their beta testing.   Anyway, I am encouraged by iBasso's response that they...

    I have been following the DX100 closely.   I am in the process of building a good portable rig from scratch + Westone ES5.   So far, my options are either: 1. iPod + Fostex HP-P1 2. DX100   I hope someone will have the time to compare between the two, especially in their synergy...

    Out of date - I need help to choose <= $700 amp

    Unfortunately with headphone amps, it's hard for you to demo these amps in one location. I think I will go with WA6 based on people's feedback in the forum and they are located in US (easier to repair if there is an issue, etc). I probably will postpone the sophia tube for now (over my...

    Out of date - I need help to choose <= $700 amp

    Wow, my last login was May 2005, a little bit surprised that they have not closed my account yet. During those time, my AKG K701 got stolen and sold my Meijer Corda portable amp. Anyway, I miss the AKG, so I just got myself K702. This time, I will keep it in my house, safely, . I have...

    Meier Audio Porta Corda MkII Followup!

    Wowww, got the amp on the mail just now. It is smaller that I thought it would be which is good for portability. Is there a power supply out there that comes with the mini connector for the amp? I do not have the tool to modify a power supply and use the connector that comes with the...

    Hi Clemens, Thanks for the info on using a cellphone PSU with PC MKII. I have been contemplating on purchasing a good PSU, but now, I would like to try using a PSU that lying around my house first. I just do not understand this notion that if it is mentioned by others it is better to have...

    Meier Audio Porta Corda MkII Group Buys (One for U.S., One for Europe)

    Can anyone recommend me a good regulated power supply that is compatible to this amp? BTW, I live in US. As I understand the higher the output voltage the better as long as it is less than 28 V DC. Also, does NiMH battery really make the difference in sound quality? To be honest, I am not...
