Thanks guys! I posted a WTB thread for either LD II ++ or Musical Fidelity X-Can V2... whatever offer comes first, it will be my amp My next step is to purchase iriver H120 (again) and have a good DAC under $350. Then sell my headphones and buy woody headphone

I am going to sell ALL of my current headphones once I get the right headphone/combo. I am only keeping them because I didn't find better headphones under my budget. I have tried HD580 and HD650 but both required a very demanding setup than I could afford and didn't like their initial impression...

Currently, I am using Ultrasone ULE HFI 2200, Senn HD25-1, and Yuin PK1... I know these are not the best cans but I am planning on upgrading to a better can, especially the ATH-W11jpn or ATH-W10VTG if I got the chance.

Hi, Every time I search this forum, I become more confused than ever! However, I am grateful that head-fi members, like Mrarroyo :-), to keep helping me every time I turn to their advice. I am looking for an amp (I don't care if it is portable or not... tube/SS, or hybrid) that is under...

Do you think that these adapters will work? Radioshack Item# 1 Radioshack Item# 2 I kept searching for stereo 1/8 jack to 1/8 plug and choices are very limited for something that is short and simple!

I tried IEM before (Shure E500) and I wasn't able to insert any of the tips in my ears, except the small foam tip. Not to mention, it was extremely scary and time consuming process!! I don't know how you do it!! I have both Yuin PK-1 and PK-2 earbuds and i love both so much but I am looking...

Thanks for the review mrarroyo and vorlon1! Looking forward to the Xin Reference.

any direct comparison to the meizu m6 or the clix2?

Thanks Zarim! I will be using it unamped, so do you base your results w/ amp or without? Is there a difference when you amp any of them?

I am curious to know too. Also, if any comparison between meizu mini vs. iriver clix, cowon d2, Samsung YP_T9, and Sony nw series.

When I had the HD30GB9, the software interface was fine and never experienced this problem before. However, I couldn't upload the songs back to my pc. You can drag the songs from anywhere to the software - simple and easy. The mp3 player interface is the best I have seen and the quality of the...

Thanks Febs! I read that graphic intensive themes slow down rockbox on ipod, is this true with the latest builds incl. Mikeage non-scaling builds? What does non-scale builds intend to do? Is there a bootloader that gives you a choice on the main screen in which mode you want? I remember...

I don't think these number show or prove anything! I will explain why later but I gotta go sleep now Bottom line, there are many values you should take into account when considering the real "power" of your mp3 player not just mW. There are several values you should calculate... I will...

I couldn't resist so I placed my order as well!
