I am in the market for an IEM that I will be primarily using for travel and paired with an iPhone and Dragonfly Red. I primarily listen to singer/songwriter music along with Indie and Alternative. I have set a budget of around $300 and am looking for some recommendations either new or used...

Hello all, It's been a while since I have posted on these forums and am glad to be back. I am currently looking for a descent, and portable, DAC/Amp combination to pair well with my Sennheiser Momentum 2s. As I have been out of the game for a little while, I thought I would ask your thoughts. I...

I am posting to get some clarification. I just picked up a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wireless at Best Buy at a great price (price matched Amazon at $185). The box clearly states that these cans are the Momentum 2.0 and NOT the HD1; there is also no HD1 logo on the headphones themselves. In...

I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, but I have a pair Polk RTI A7s and was wondering if there are any members on this forum that build amps/DACs for speakers. Obviously, this forum is primarily for headphones, however was curious about speaker amps/DAC. Just curious...

I have been a member on these forums for a few years, but have taken a little bit of a break over the past couple of years. Before taking a leave of absence from the forums, I sold off all of my gear and kept my custom Ultimate Ears UE5cs to use for portable use.  I still use the UE5cs and...

I have owned a pair of Ultimate Ears UE5Cs for a few years and have really enjoyed them, however, recently have found I am not using them as much as before.  I believe I read somewhere on this forum that it is possible to sell the IEMs to a buyer and then they can have them remodeled to fit...

I just recently bought a Nikon S7c point and shoot camera. I am enjoying the camera so far. However, the most interesting part about the camera is the integrated Wi-Fi. It allows the user to transfer pics from the camera to computer wirelessly. My problem is, I haven't been able to get the...

I just received an AlienDAC in the mail today. I have an Apple iMac computer that I will be using with the AlienDAC. When I plug in the USB cable into the computer, the iMac doesn't recognize it and I don't get any sound. Do I need to install anything special in order for the computer to...

I have been looking for an amp to go with a computer setup I am putting together. I was just recently introduced to the SOHA amp. I did a search on this amp and was surprised there wasn't more information about it. It seems most of the topics discuss more about the making of the amp vs. how it...

I just started using MAX audio to encode a FLAC file to ALAC. It seems to work great. However, when I imported the ALAC files into itunes it said the bitrate was unknown. Is there a setting I can change in order for MAX audio to determine the bitrate? thank.

I have been back and forth about this over the past couple of weeks. I can't decide whether I want to buy a pair of Grados (probably SR-225) or an RSA amp (probably hornet or tomahawk). I currently have the UE5cs unamped playing through my ipod. I really like my UE5cs, no complaints. Will an RSA...

I use iTunes for all of my ripping, music library, and ipod stuff. Just today, I decided to rerip my cds into WAV format. When I tried to rip the CD using iTunes the file bitrate came out to be 705kbps. Does that sound right? I always thought CDs were 1411kbps. Is there a better way to encode...

I keep going back and forth between these two headphones. I will be using these straight out of an ipod for now, music ripped at both 320kbps AAC and alt-preset standard mp3. I listen to mainly alternative and indie music. So the big question is, which should I go with? thanks.

I have taken a leave of absence from both this website and headphone listening for a little while now. However, just recently I decided to listen to my UE5cs through my ipod, no amp. On the very first song I was listening to I was pretty dissappointed. The music was very muddy sounding, didn't...

I currently am listening to my music through an ipod with my UE-5c. Almost all of my music is ripped at 320kb AAC. Ever since Ray Samuels came out with his Tomahawk portable amp I have wondered if it would make my music sound better even though it is ripped at 320kb. What do you guys think?

Hey all, I am looking for a good/decent set of speakers I can put in my living room. I already have it wired to have my music play in my living room and my family room. All I need now is just a decent set of speakers to put in the living room. What is a good bang for your buck speaker? And...

I just installed bootcamp on my imac. Everything seems to be working great. I noticed when I use Tiger OSX I have another hard drive named "untitled" next to my Macintosh hard drive icon on the desktop. I am assuming that is my windows partition. Can I rename the partition or delete it from the...

I thought I would start another thread about my imac. I just got my iMac on Monday and have really enjoyed the OSX. However, I have already had to take my iMac in to replace the dvd-rom drive; it would not insert a cd/dvd. Do Macs have alot of problems? Should I buy the Apple Care Protection...

Well I finally did it. I made the switch over to Apple. I should be getting my new iMac 20" on Monday; the weekend cant go by fast enough! What can I expect from my new Apple since I have been a PC guy for so long? Any advice on the OS or what I can expect from my apple?

I thought I would ask you guys how much I could sell my Viewsonic 20.1" 201b computer monitor for. It is in great condition and comes with the original box. thanks.

I just noticed on the bottom of my viewsonic monitor, vp201b, I have four usb ports. Would I be able to plug in any usb device and have it work on my computer? I just tried plugging in my usb bluetooth mouse/keyboard device, but it doesn't work. thanks.

I have a quick quesiton. Can wireless network cards you put in desktop computers go bad over time????

I was wondering if anyone has heard/used Logitech's wireless music system. I thought I would give it a try since I am having so many problems with the APX. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10855

Hey everyone, Now that I am settled in my new home, I am now ready to get a grill. It is getting to be that time of the season, so I better get ready. I am looking for a propane tank grill. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.

I seem to be having problems with my APX. I have read about the status light and have confirmed the status light should be green to represent everything is working correctly. After setting up my APX and my wireless network, my APX status light flashes amber. I am able to hear music, but I get...
