Something that works all around. I like the TF10s, but a tad more bass wouldn't be a bad thing. I listen to everything from heavy metal to acoustic guitar hipster music, so it needs to be versatile.

God, it's been ages since I've been here. Managed to kick the gear bug for quite some time though. I'm currently running two setups- TripleFi 10s through a Schiit Modi+Magni at home, and Klipsch Image S4s on my phone on the go. I'm looking to get a pair of full size headphones. They'll likely...

Those are just amps, they need LODs, not USB ports.

I occasionally have that issue, I just do sudo apt-get remove alsa-utils sudo apt-get install alsa-utils Alright, thanks.

Hey all, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with a Schiit Modi USB DAC. My sound output has 3 choices- Digital Output (S/PDIF) Built-in Audio Analog Output Built-in Audio Analog Output Schiit USB Audio Device The Analog-Schiit setting works, but the "Analog" confuses me. Could it actually be...

  According to their website, yes, it does. http://cypherlabs.com/blog/post/iphone-5-tests-good-with-algorhythm-solo

Quote: The following use the same size Comply tips, and should work-AF12, AF9-BK, CX21P, M11, M16-MT, M21, M31, M9, N8, N9, R1, R12, SP51, SX-31. So any Me-Elec tips for those models *should* work with the Monoprices.

Quote: Hadn't heard about this. Do you have a link to where you found this?

The right appears to be full USB, not micro.

Quote: I bought the silver ones based on looks...I love having miniature hair dryers stuck to my ears :D

Quote: It would be a matter of testing headphones you aren't familiar with. If I blindfolded you, and put a random pair of open headphones on you, which you have never heard before, I don't think you could tell they were open or not.

Quote: Why? You prefer the cloth cord? More microphonics...

Quote: Yeah...the S series would be nice on a budget if they could stack up to the others. There's a reason they're cheaper.

Quote: Nope, not a big difference.

What's your budget? AK100 with dual microSD ports, buts its pricey.

Quote: Odds are only in the international models, knowing my luck. Non-US people with their 8-core, Wolfson-DAC Galaxies.

Quote: I don't think Cowons can do line-out. If you ever want to be able to use an amp, have you considered RockBoxing an iPod Classic? Or just using ALAC rather than FLAC? What's your current setup-if you don't have one yet, an amp+a cheaper player might be better.

Quote: Yes, the Valhalla will work with the Modi. According to their site, higher impedance cans are a better match.

Quote: How useful. Better than not telling us anything about his setup and asking generic questions that can be googled.

Quote: Really? Using the standard bootloader?

Quote: A friend of mine has them and likes them. Never bothered trying them though.

Quote: I believe that the iPod Touch 4 and the iPhone 4 use the same DAC chip-a Cirrus Logic CS41L61. The iPod Touch 4 always struck me as a pretty decent source-sounds pretty good, though I prefer the older iPods with Wolfson DACs. While the iPod Touch may "officially" sound better, use...

Quote: It does. The issue is that RockBox, at least according to their site, won't work on an iPod Classic- http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodClassicPort

Quote: K. I didn't even understand the summary. Ah well.
