    Review by 'baijxz' on item 'HEAD-DIRECT RE0 In-ear Headphones'

    This is the second time within a year these have developed a fault in the cables. This time it is in the mini jack connector, last time it was near the left earpiece. Needless to say I will not be returning these for a new pair that can develop another fault in the cable. This is unforgivable...

    pico usb dac vs ps1 cdplayer

    Okay now that I've done a lot of link digging, maybe I can rephrase my question. Which DAC did you find to have the most relaxed warm and non-fatiguing but still detailed sound? Buffalo32 vs Valab seems to me to be the most interesting comparison.

    pico usb dac vs ps1 cdplayer

    that's a lot of diffferent dac's! Which one did you find to have the most vinylesque sound? Or rather; which DAC did you prefer and why?

    pico usb dac vs ps1 cdplayer

    pico usb dac vs ps1 cdplayer

    I've heard about the playstation1 phenomen and now I've tried it myself. Unfortunately a comparison that didn't favour my old source the pico usb dac. With the ps1 the sound to my ears was less sharp and had a less fatiguing signature, the midtone seemed fuller. Granted the pico has better...

    headphone amp as control amp?

    but isn't a preamp the same as a headphone amp? a tiny amplifier. and isn't the line level converter just a massive reduction of the signal? The pico I have has a max output of 4.2V, And I've seen power amps with a input sensitivity of 1.68V. wouldn't that mean that I could set the output to...

    Iaudio dealers in europe? / or online shops that will ship to europe

    I would like to thank Pinny for his helpfull assistance that unfortunately didn't come to fruition. I've since found a reasonable offer on amazon.co.uk that seems like the current best price over here...

    New to EAC

    I can tell you my preferences but it's really a limitation of your audio system and your preferences what quality and encoder you should use. I started out with a soundblaster soundcard and a tiny NAD amplifier coupled with a pair of small cerwin vega's. The sound wasn't very sophisticated...

    Iaudio dealers in europe? / or online shops that will ship to europe

    Yes I know them, the german dealer although cheaper than local outlets is still almost double the price on the other side of the atlantic. I would prefer a more realistic price, as these devices are not that expensive to manufacture.

    New to EAC

    If you really have a plextor drive then use it! Plextors are normally the fastest drives on the market at audioextraction. In EAC go into drive options (F10) and choose secure mode and make EAC autodetect your drives features. The only reason to use EAC is it's secure mode, synchronized or...

    iPod Shuffle SQ Performance -- Interesting Results Backed By QUANTIFIABLE Data/Graphs

    As far as I can understand the whole issue is about the amps of the players and not the DAC's. The reasoning beheind the testing seems sound, and it's the only real testing I've seen of any mp3 player. It seems to me that the author is speculating whether or not the amp in the shuffle is...

    Iaudio dealers in europe? / or online shops that will ship to europe

    Hi; I'm looking for an Iaudio 5 1Gb model at a reasonable price, I've recently learnt that suntec doesn't ship to europe anymore so I'll have to find an alternative source. Anyone know of a reputable dealer with good prices? Local price would be around 524.69$ which I find insane.

    Flash based sound quality

    I'm with Bigwill on this one, the differences of the Iaudio players anyone? Furthermore a list of components used in the Iaudio, Apple, Creative and Iriver would be a great help in making an informed choice. Come on, if people in these forums can discuss modding of soundcards for better sound...

    Flash based sound quality

    From reading these forums it seems the Muvo N200 amp is somewhat lacking. Leaving the Iaudio(G3,U2,4 and 5) and Muvo TX as the only real competitors. With regards to sound quality; it seems like there's a general need for a detailed description of differences in dsp and amps between...

    New sound card or cards. Need help

    As far as I'm aware no single card exists that both satisfy the audiophile and the gamer. The audigy still uses the same old internal resampling they used to use in the live cards, but hey they dominate the gaming market completeley! so you can be assured of a wealth compliant games. (EAX...
