    Advice for what high end IEM to purchase for airline use

    Zarim, I agree, you do need an earphone with a bit more emphasis on bass in a noisy environment. The Klipsch X10 looks to have a similar issue to the ERP4, the body of the earphone sticking out which looks uncomfortable for sleeping. The Weston UM3x also looks like a good possibility...

    Advice for what high end IEM to purchase for airline use

    Great tips in the replies, thanks guys. So I have worked out: - The Zune quality is going to be a constraint so don't need the most expensive IEMs as the zune won't get the most from them (also I will be using well encoded but still lossy files). - Isolation will vary depending on the...

    Advice for what high end IEM to purchase for airline use

    Thresher, Very informative post, thank you. Basically you are saying I don't need to spend too much $$ on IEMs as the Zune HD is the limiting factor (eg. the Westone UM3X could be overkill here). 41db isolation is pretty darn good, no way can noise cancelling headphones even get close to...

    Advice for what high end IEM to purchase for airline use

    Both the phones I listed have active noise cancellation. I will be using them for sleeping (with music very low vol), movie watching and music while reading. So its a mix of sound isolation & having decent sound quality. I'll checkout the Westone UM3X, UE4 pro and JH5 it does rate well on...

    Advice for what high end IEM to purchase for airline use

    Hi, Usually I don't post 'what to buy' threads as I spend hours reading and researching for my gadgets, however on the topic of what IEM to buy I really can't determine a short list to buy without directly asking specific questions about my needs and seeking feedback. Being Australian and...

    HDCD list

    Thanks. I knew about this and have the right settings, however it would be good to know if the PC player was actually decoding HDCD. I have a couple of HDCD disks but dont know if the PC is actually using the HDCD decoder or if the disks are actually HDCD. Regards, Dean

    HDCD list

    I have another HDCD disk, a compilation from Asia - Voyage, the essential world beat collection. I also have a question about HDCD in Windows Media Player 11, in earlier versions you would see a HDCD indicator on screen when playing HDCD but it seems to have been dropped in the current...

    Just how good is the emu 0404?

    Another vote for the EMU 0404. I also have the EMU 1820M and I think the 0404 is more dynamic. Modding it is a must. I made the the first two changes uzziah mentions and it makes a decent difference. uzziah, was there a significant difference swapping out the opamp and the analog caps...

    HTPC HiFi Soundcard Advice: RME or E-MU

    The analog connections are very good, however, as I posted above, it looks like outside of patchmix you can only get stereo output (WAV1/2) which is pretty useless for DVD use I'll continue to try to get this to work - but if anyone more experienced with the EMU line / Patchmix could help...

    HTPC HiFi Soundcard Advice: RME or E-MU

    Jasper994, Can you explain how to get DVD 5.1 from the analog outs? I have just installed my 1820m with the new drivers and I cant get any of my DVD software to recognise the center and surround channels. It looks like only WAV1/2 is recognized outside of patchmix? I have tried many...

    Some Info on EMU Upcoming 1.81 Driver

    Can someone confirm that the new 1820m drivers works with multichannel WDM for common DVD software? For example, you can get 5.1 output in Windows Media Player, Windvd, powerdvd or the like? Regards, Dean
