oh fug. I thought I was still in the FS/FT forum. oops. Mods - can you please move for me? Thanks.

If anyone has - please pm me.

'Lo All. Been a while since I have visited Head-Fi. Just doing an interest check to see if anyone would be keen on a meet in Brisbane with a focus on Lossless music and other high end musical sources and recordings. I wouldn't go as far to say that no MP3's are permitted at this meet -...

Is there a battery upgrade you can do? That would be sweet.

If it's been a while since I've been opinionated on head-fi, it's definitely been a looong while since asking for the professional advice of the head-fi massive. I'm in the market for a new PMP. Last three contenders for me is the Q5W, Cowon A3 or the Archos 704. Top three in terms of...

Mmmm - that head band is now seriously p*ssing me off. I'm doing the ball stretch at night when I go to sleep. (I put my headphone around a football to stretch it out). I really do hope it softens up. On another side note - "all rounder" for me also includes price. I got mine new for...

'Lo All. It's been a while since I've been opinionated on Head-Fi. Just received my new K-701's. I dunno. Nothing really stands out about it. It's not as smooth or soothing as the HD-650, PS-1's are simply better for rock music period and the K-1000's certainly has more fidelity though...

Am I dreaming or do these dream machines not support FLAC lossless????? Can't see it anywhere in the specs!!! The current contender for my new DAP (or PMP I should say) is the A2.

Mmmm... listening to HAU ROCK by KMFDM. Lossless FLAC - > DAC1 Better than average recording for industrial and certainly one of the most fun albums to listen to on a good set of cans.

ER4 has to be equalised. They are actually capable of quite some bass if equalised properly. I have the 4S and you definitely need an amp. I've used the Aleph 3 to amp the 4S. 30 watts per channel for IEM's. Sounds delicious.

I've got a stack of vinyl I would like to rip into digital and then compress into lossless FLAC. Can anyone give any suggestions on what equipment they would recommend? Also ADC suggestions would be good.

BMW has my vote.

Ultimate Ears UE-11

If so... any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm not talking about the adjustment antennae, I mean the hard connection to the headband itself.

Same - I was actually one of the beta testers for Australia DSL about 9 years ago and I've never looked back. I don't even think we should make any concessions for dial up users. If one is too stingy to fork out an extra $5 a month for broadband (which is about the difference after you add...

Headphones used using direct amplification: HD-650 ER4-S RS-1 K-1000 is also power amped by a Pass Aleph 3. Music: Dido, Groove Armada, Pumpkins, Jewel Kilcher, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation ... LOSSLESS of course. Firstly, I would like to thank Dimitri (dvse) for selling me this...

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... Should be arriving tomorrow. She won't be replacing the Grace, but instead be the official DAC of my home theatre setup. (of course - I'll do a mini review of it with my current headphone inventory) Current and past owners... please feel free to give me your...
