Went with the Fuze, have a 32gb in it now but plan on trying the 128gb soon, hopefully it works smoothly with the Rockbox I just installed, really nice firmware, no issues so far.   Hopefully there isn't some hardware issue with a chip that big....wish someone else knew before I blow the cash lol.

I am guessing I will end up with a Zune 120 or a 5.5 with a LOD attachment, pretty much whatever one I win first off Ebay for a decent price, I have been bidding like crazy on them but I am not the greatest at it haha.   I appreciate you explaining the sound to me, I do believe that my...

So I would need to spend big bucks to get the full quality of the dap in the 5.5, not something cheap like the FiiO L9? Hmmm...   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-MK1626GCB-160GB-Internal-HDD1B01-Hard-Drive-/350486171224?pt=US_Internal_Hard_Disk_Drives&hash=item519a9a8e58   Will this work in...

So the 5.5 is actually up to the sound quality of the Note2? maybe I should go for it....Rockbox does look nice, I just heard that the electronics in the way of the Wolfson dap in the ipod make it less then stellar.   What do you mean by small? It needs an amp?   Also with a LOD amp like the...

Apparently the Galaxy I have has one of the better dac's, hmm not sure what to do, I find it hard to find a decently priced MP3 player thats 120gb or above...thats not a Zune 120 or iPod, I would go for the 160gb iPod but I heard its not as warm and has a very narrow thin sound stage.   Wish...

Is it as good as the Zunes or the one in the Galaxy?

The ones I am looking at have new replaced hard drives, 120gb ones, so I am guessing they would be ok longativity wise hopefully, same goes for the Zune.

So my Samsung Galaxy(Captivate) got crushed as I was moving a table(The headphone jack is messed up and the top part is loose) and now I am looking for a replacement, the captivate had a Wolfson dac which I absolutely loved, I had a 32gb card in it and it did alright.   I know that both the...

  Thats pretty much how I feel about Beats, honestly a pair of Koss KSC75's would sound better, you are paying for fashion, I sure hope the JVC's sound better since I just ordered them :-).

How would the Sennheiser HD25 pads(Velour or leather) fit on this? Would they change the sound much? Also how would you say they compare to the Akg K518? Kinda curious.

Yeah those are to big haha, nice and comfy looking though for home use maybe. AKG are cheap enough though if I feel the stock aren't good enough I think, thanks :-).

Are these the same ones that are being talked about here:   http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/891188-REG/JVC_ha_sr500_w_On_Ear_Headband_Headphones.html

This sounds like a good combo, I think I will order the HAS400's and those pads shorty after if I feel its needed, nice to see decently priced pads for once also.     Thanks for the info!

Yeah I can't stand anything that goes inside my ears sadly, its terrible for me, tried many types.   How much better are those pads? This is them...

I see, I am reading through the thread now, its huge and kinda overwhelming, I might go with them though, the white ones are really nice looking for 25 dollar headphones. I am guessing the JVC's once fully burned in probably are more accurate the the XB400's? Not sure I am a fan of boomy but...

If I had to say, Warm but with not piercing highs(The Meelectronics HT-21 I own have these and I can't listen to half my music with them), I like a punchy bass but not overpowering the Meds/Highs, they can be fun sounding but I do like it more towards the accurate side, Comfort wise, light is...

I have been looking around and am trying to decide if the JVC's would suit me, I usually take my Sennheiser HD25-1 out with me but at night well...my neighborhood isn't the greatest and I would like a portable pair that won't break the bank if stolen.   I am looking at these so far, was...

Alright, will do that, thanks.   This is the Y adapter right? Want to get everything from Monoprice but it looks a bit different...   http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10429&cs_id=1042906&p_id=7213&seq=1&format=2   and 2 of these? (Want to hook up two...

Alright, I am also checking out older ones on ebay that do support sub woofer, maybe I can get one for <50...   These cords will do the trick for now I am guessing: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021815&p_id=5598&seq=1&format=2   Going to grab 2...

Well I use the Xonar DG, will that work well? I won't lose quality going this way and using the older Receiver in general?

Damn....   So what this guy did won't work well? http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=110113 (4th post)   But it will work with the speakers right? Also any idea what decent amp will work with it?

I decided to go with the Pioneer Andrew Jones Designed SW-8MK2 Subwoofer and Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-BS22-LR Bookshelf Loudspeakers.   I have this amp/reciever from long ago that still works, its the Sony STR- D350z, can't seem to find much info on it besides that it power output as 145+145...

I decided to go with the Pioneer Andrew Jones Designed SW-8MK2 Subwoofer and Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-BS22-LR Bookshelf Loudspeakers, so the Lepai LP-2020A+ would totally power them up fine? I know I am being overly worried but I don't want to end up with giant paper weights as I wait to save up...

Thanks, I will try this out, StratocasterMan that amp has the power to power both speakers and that big subwoofer?

Hmm so this thing here: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=310-300   Will let me basically hook up stereo speakers? I have a old set of Sony's from a long while ago that cost a bunch of money....maybe I should use those? It would be better then the M-10 I imagine? Didn't...
