Quote: Thank you. Recognition and appreciation among fellow head-fiers is much welcome.

Quote: You are correct, but to be clear, that's not what I mean when I said that "you can swap out mulitiple iPod Nano's". What I meant was that since 7th Gen iPod Nano's have small space size in nature, once you use up all the space on one 7th Gen Nano, you can swap out a 7th Gen Nano...

My new Portable Rig   As you can see, there are no rubber bands used here to keep the amplifier and iPod coupled together.   Notice that there's a clean opening for the "Out" port for headphones   How was this done? Simply apply adhesive double-sided foam (not recommended...

Quote: Very informative. Thanks bro. I won't ask again.

Quote: I was just hoping there was a way to bypass the internal amp. Yes I remember discussing this, I'm just having uncertainties because I'll be buying the amp today. I was also thinking of buying the Fiio E7 but I don't know how relevant the DAC will be, I don't know what switching...

Quote: But then I'd need to hook in a Lightning to 30pin adapter into my 7th Gen Nano in order for that to work since all the Fiio cables for idevices are 30pin. So in technicality, I'd need an adapter, then the Fiio L9 cable, hook the two into each other, then the 3.5 from the L9 into...

Quote: What bitrate do you usually listen to music on? 256bit?

Just got my brand new pair of Audio Technica ATH-A900X‘s!!! OH YEEEAAAUUUHHH!! I thought I'd share my enthusiasm on this appreciation thread by showing some pictures in this thread.       I just got them today. I've only wore them for a combined 60 minutes. I...

Quote: I'll let you know if I can tell the difference when I hook up my Fiio E11.

Quote: The 3.5 to 3.5 LOD Cable. I'd hook it in to the headphone jack, and the other end into the "IN" port on the amplifier. Will that bypass the internal amp?

Quote: I'm back to inform you that I can't tell an audible difference...

Quote: I also forgot to ask if the Fiio LOD Cable bypasses the iPod Amp when this cable is plugged in.

Quote: Then try I shall. I will report back with findings. Thank you for the greeting on these forums. To be honest, I really think that "lossless" ravers/people are under the influence of the placebo effect, if that makes any sense.  

I listen to AAC 256bit VBR. Sounds pretty awesome. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between AAC 256bit & AAC 320bit. But I can definitely tell the difference between 128bit & 256bit. I consider AAC 256bit VBR great sound quality for song format, albeit it's not the "best" - but...

Quote: Oh really? Wow, I had no idea that AGK 550's were cheaper where you're from, cuz the ATH-A900X's are definitely on the cheaper side in North America. Mine ran me $185, the AKG 550's would have been about $240. Personally though, I would have probably gone with the A900X's even if I...

Quote: I also considered saving up for an AKG 550, but the more I studied the sound qualities of the A900X, the more I leaned towards choosing those over the AKG 550's. I bought mine from amazon as well, it ran me $180 (an extra $6 for shipping). These headphones are located in the...

I think reputation has a lot to do with it. Catchy names do help, but a headphones reputation that's determined by popularity, sound quality, and of course - commercial advertising. Let's use Beats for example. Beats is probably the most successful celebrity endorsed headphones of this...

Quote: All you needed to say was "To Each His Own".  

Quote: Nailed it.

Quote: Hahaha yeah, it would have been a nice collectors item. But anyway.

Quote: I see you've been jamming to Random Access Memories, how do you like it so far? I've only listened to their promo "Get Lucky", and really enjoyed it, how's the rest of the album? So far, I own every single Daft Punk album released, with the exception of their LP's/Singles. My...

Quote: Ah, nice to see a fellow Daft Punker. Been listening to them since their album Discovery in 2001. Saw them live in the Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Denver. (best live concert of my life)

Quote: *reads post* ......... *resists posting a spider-man meme*  

Quote: That's great, because Trance is what I mainly listen to, and I just bought these yesterday :-) Can't wait :-)

Quote: Are you implying they sound better than Beats Studio or worse? Just clarifying :-)
