Hey guys! I just wanted to tell you my experience. well i'm fairly new in the headfi, got interested, lurked for about 3 months, then went for a ibasso t5, Westone UM1 and an d7 sidewinder for my pc... Then i went to a q701 after a fairly long (but blindly nonetheless) "research" and i just...

for the ones looking for a portable tablet to go with a dac, wel, ubuntu is testing it's port to NEXUS 7. so you could have a full fledged linux there, with alsa and whaterver it gets(basically, standard linux usb host and audio support hopefully). Sadly it won't go past 32 GBs. That may be a...

Sharepod will work. with any Windows-PC. http://www.getsharepod.com/

Well sorry, i'm just not excited as you( I have a cheapo Android, and with a crappy touchscreen is REALLY ANNOYING, but it's just for calling). But i hope we will be positively surprised by this one, i would really like it to happen!  i'm just trying to be a bit cautious... 

Samsung have already done a "music oriented" phone before but these seem fairly low spec'ed. Seems aimed more for "teens" than "audiophiles", don't you think? Speakers? of course i'm just speculating...  

Quote: hey kamppi ! i was just asking this on the other thread... it would be great if it worked, specially cause the Xperia Sola is about to get the ICS from S this month, and it accepts microSD cards. it's also quite cheaper (worse camera, less internal memory...) and if it worked would...

Quote: they are on 4.0.4, and soon the sola will get the ics 4.0.4 also(the sola is a cheap xperia, with a worse camera and processor then the Xperia S, but accepts microSD cards.. but has all those sony nifty things walkman app, "bravia engine hd" and all that marketing stuff). all of...

Do you guys have any idea if the Sony Xperia S or P with ICS will work? They both are cheaper for me(than s3) and include the same player sony got on the z series walkman as far as i've read(with nice flac support and everything else)... 

Emospence,   I don't have a clip+, but from what i've read, your memory may be a bit faulty or not really compatible with RB. This kind of thing happened with me with 2 of my cameras(sometimes the camera would read it, sometimes don't, after some months the memory stick totally stopped...

Quote: Thank you! i will look into it carefully. 

well i guess i missed at making my question understandable.  i don't have a S3, but i know that the int. ver. has a different dac from the us version, the site (gsm arena) even gives different noise ratios for each version so i imagine that there is some significant difference between each...

Quote:   I have an iBasso d7 dac/amp for the pc and a t5. I wish i could go with "hear every musical voice" coz i play guitar and really enjoy analyzing each sound/instrument, it is a joy to me...  could i drive the akg with the d7 and t5? 

Hey guys, i have a question: i'm going with a ibasso d7 for my pc, and i'm wondering about getting an akg q701 or senn hd598, i mainly listen to jazz, blues and classic rock... any insights? 

Quote: Thank you!  Right now i'm mainly sad that my ipod nano 4g doesn't sound half as good as a normal Dell with foobar(wasapi) and flacs(even with mp3 the ipod is worse)...  But i'm aiming at a open can and a dac for the next thing, i've been reading Head-Fi and saving money for the...

  My first acquisition after reading Head-Fi.org , it's just a Um1 for good portable quality, but i'll keep improving on it. Loving it so far, thanks guys! 

Is that the International S3 (I9300) or one of the US Variants(I535 for Verizon, I747 for AT&T or T999 for T-Mobile?)  You know that just the international version has the Wolfson dac right? GSM Arena reports Noise -90.3dB / Crosstalk -92.6dB for the International and Noise -82.3dB /...

Quote: the good thing about share pod is that it's just an .exe file that you put IN your ipod in Mass Storage Mode, and then whenever you need it, you run it from the ipod and can import and export music as you please. I love it.  

Quote: Yeah i read that, but i don't have a mac, and "win" laptops are built in variety of ways, different motherboards, powersupplies/battery and i'm a bit worried it won't play well with my laptop (an old Dell Studio 14) anyway i'm almost set with it, just waiting a bit to optmize my...

I only bought my ipod after someone told me that i could transfer music to it without itunes and after i saw it working. I bought my ipod, tried itunes (once) threw everything away and now i use sharepod since 2008. 

Quote: Thanks! I deff need a usb hub anyway... (my notebook has an eSata port, so they only put 2 usb ports...)

Hey guys, sorry to bump it up, but i was thinking about getting the D7 as my first dac. But i've been reading the posts, and it seems some notebooks have some problems with it, mainly with delivering enough power through USB. I don't have a desktop anymore, so i'm kinda worried it won't work...

Yay! Well i'm just new to head-fi and still looking for my first gear... but anyway, i also love Coltrane, i'm a die hard fan of Sonny Rollins (St. thomas and Moritat just sound breathtaking to me..) i'm a big fan of Vince Guaraldi Trio(made the score of Charlie Brown), Chick Corea, herbie...

Quote:   Well i'm new here and i'm yet to buy my first HP after head-fi, but about the jazz thing, just want to add that there is a collection recently brought up by the Smithsonian "Anthology" which is great(some standards played over and over by many good folks), and also Sonny Rollins...

Well i'm looking for a Dac/Usb under 200 dollars shipped. I was thinking about thee iBasso d2+ boa, do you guys have any suggestion? (169 + 22 shipping, i'm not in USA anyway)
