I just collected the HE-5/EF-5 combo from a local head-fier yesterday so have only listened for a couple of hours. First impressions: - Very detailed - more than any headphone I've heard before (admittedly I have yet to listen to 'stats or HD800s). To go over well-worn ground, there are...

If you do a little reading in the "DIY Discussions" subforum, this will help your understanding a lot. To connect your MP3 player to an amp you simply need electrical conductors to carry left, right and ground signals between them. These are usually in the form of copper wires; silver is the...

Burn-in doesn't change the sensitivity of headphones, so the "volume level" won't change. Changing the PK3 foamies should be easy - just stretch the hole a little when putting them on the earbuds.

They all originate from Japan, so they should be the same. The grey import argument is somewhat redundant - there is not a special UK-spec version of the Denons, and there's no compelling reason to support local Denon headphone distributors (especially when they think 1USD-1.1GBP is a fair rate...

There hasn't been evidence of fake AD900/1000/2000s on ebay so far, so that seller is probably genuine. The shipping for the phones is £25, taking the total cost to £164; plus there's the risk of having to pay VAT when they hit UK customs. With UK retailers selling AD900s at £200, there isn't...

Go Team "low-quality phone pics"-Fi! Sony A818 > Lyrix > RE1s Sansa Clip > Portable Millet

The Japanese wikipedia entry only lists four released singles, and states that her career only lasted from 1982 to 1984, so that would probably explain why.

The video is tagged with the keywords "yuri" and sato" (Miliyah Kato is only in the related videos section). A quick kanji to furigana conversion gives 佐東由梨 = Sato Yuri.

This is probably all wrong, but: The parallel lines indicate that the trapezium on the right is just a scaled up version of the one on the left. So the ratio of the sides should be the same. Therefore: 4/(x-3) = (x+6)/9 Which becomes: 36 = (x+6)(x-3) 36 = x² + 3x -18 0 = x² +3x - 54...

MP3 is a lossy format, so conversion from 192k WMA will always sacrifice quality. The only option you have would be to recreate the MP3s from the original source CDs.

The code for the A80x seriies doesn't work on the A816. 1) Go to the home menu and slide the [HOLD] key to the on position. 2) Hold down the [OPTION] key, and the press : Up, Up, Down, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down, Up, Down, Right, [PLAY]. 3) Slide the [HOLD] key to the off position...

The RE1's cable is around 40 inches (100cm) from end to end, but they come bundled with a range of tips and a 30 inch (75cm) extension cable. I don't own the RE2s, so I'm not sure if they have an extension included.

You probably won't be able to find a DAC/Amp that has an optical passthrough as this basically defeats the point of the DAC section. As far as options go, you could do the following: 1) Create another digital source on your PC - either by adding a cheap discrete sound card with...

Take a look at the FiiO amps thread

Hi Ken, The BCR-NWU3 dock has the full complement of 22 pins. The line-out function seems to operate perfectly well without anything attached to the dock (i.e. no USB cable or power attached) and immediately overrides the headphone out. If you look at Page 25 or 26 of the Service Manual...

Goldring GX200s or V-moda Vibes are two options that are available in your price range. There's a large thread about the Vibes here; but the GX200s are relatively new, so opinions are thin on the ground at the moment. If you don't need IEMs/canal phones and are happy to use regular earbuds...

DT880s will leak a fair amount of sound when listening at high volumes - not as much as the AD700s, but they will be definitely audible to somebody in the same room as the user. Since DT880s are described as "semi-open", and the DT990s as "open", the latter will probably leak at least as much...
