Quote: I'm doing the exact same thing. looking for an old cheap phone for strict music duty, since my current phone isnt too good. everyones says samsung. does anyone have any other options besides that and iphone? also need removable sd. meizu looks interesting.

mr816. The gungnir wasn't bad, I just couldn't hear too much of a difference so mybe my ears are bad lol.

Quote: I agree with you, I bought the $900 Schiit Gungnir and got rid of it when I realized the current interface I have was just as good if not better than the Schiit, in addition to being much cheaper.

i dunno i didnt find these too great. they were uncomfortable too. yea theyre really cheap, but when are you going to have time to listen to inferior headphones anyways, especially considering how uncomfortable they are?

how about clip ons like the koss ksc?

i think yo should try the xb90ex since they have some of the best bass ive heard from an earphone yet they have a surprisingly spacious sound that makes it easy to hear different details in the music. i just got mine and i was surprised about how well they do detail. i honestly just got them as...

Sony XB90EX!!!! May be the best bass I've heard from any IEM.

Whats a good relatively affordable tube amp that will effectively drive these three? I know the d2000 is low impedance, so I'm not sure that there is a tube amp versatile enought to drive them all. I like a wrmer sound, hence the tubes. Will the Bottlehead Crack drive all of them? What other...

Hi all. I was looking for an amp that could drive my Senn HD650 and my Denon D2000. I was also looking at some Beyer 600 ohm. I was looking at these 3. But the newness of the Objective2 sort of scares me to tell you the truth. I don't know how reliable it is. Id really prefer it because of...

^^agreed. so are you guys saying headroom>PRII in terms of synergy?

oh man. thanks for the treasure map. anyways, im very comfortable spending in the 250 range. the absolute most i can spend is around 500. ill be using this amp everywhere, meaning it will be my home amp and will be with me outdoors. though id really like a smaller amp, i wouldnt mind...

before i ask, i just want to say that i did use the search function and looked for "hd 650 portable amp" and the post either didnt fit what im looking for or it was so old that the hornet wasnt even taken into consideration yet. so anyways, what portable amp has the best synergy with the hd...

i checked my drive and it only supports accurate stream and c2 so im only running with the accurate stream. thats why i first thought it to be my drive that was causing the poblem, because its not a very good one. and as for the CD, i first started hearing it on james brown live at the...

yup. i did the setup. but i used the coaster factory guide since it was a link directly from the eac site. ill have to try the hydrogen audio one though.

this one right now: -b 320 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d i dont know if its my compresion though. its just that eac may be reading the small scratches and not doing what its supposed to be doing. isnt it supposed to read the disk over and over...

thanks alot for the useful info. and im off into a brand new journey.

i used lame b320. when i used the V0 format though or whatever its called, it started to sound "pixelated." instead of sounding smooth, it was like instead of smooth sound, they were like lumps of sound. i dont know, its hard to explain. the 320 works well, but i can hear parts were i suspect...

well not really bad but i can still hear some errors. or maybe thats just how it was recorded (i highly doubt it though). what can it be? can it be my cd drive? the sound card? eac itself?

ive just recently started listening to classical music through my local library, and have decided to buy my own albums. now that ive thought of it though, ive never put any thought into who performs it. how do you guys buy classical music? do you just buy any mozart album or is there certain...

thank god. i thought it was just me. ive only heard the a900, a700, a500, and my etys, and i was really disapointed in the sound. And there really was no difference between the three. i was about to get some a900s because they are the only ones readily available in where i live in okinawa, but...

yesssss. album art. that completes the circle. and yes, they do come out with firmware rather quickly. I dont think this is a bad thing at all though. i finally got the video working thanks to the pocketdivx. now im even more happier with the a2.

sorry for the late response. anyways, so far i like the a2 but i still have yet to get used to it. audiowise, it sounds great but i hear a slight hiss when it gets more silent. i dont know if thats unique to the a2, if its from the cd recording, or thats common to all daps. with the...

thanks again.

how do you put movies on the A2? i use dvd shrink to rip dvds but it produces a bunch of files that are unreadable by my A2. and to make it worse, it takes 4gb for one movie. Is there any software i can get to rip the dvd into one file readable by my A2 and in a much smaller size? how do...

well i just got my A2 and now im looking to hunt down a future setup. right now im at A2-> PRII-> K701/er4p/s the reason i picked this setup is because 1. i already have the er4p/s and i hear the bass boost will highly improve upon the IEMs. 2. i need a portable amp for now. 3. the...
