Some manufacturers recommend burning in, and some even set a number recommended. Then there are those on the forum who have stated other numbers that have been agreed upon. Why don't manufacturers burn in the amp before sending it out? That saves people the trouble of having to go past their...

look at their fine print Quote: Headphone Preamplifiers - If you plan on using your phonofone with an iPod shuffle or nano, or are simply seeking more volume from this device, you can purchase a headphone amplifier. A headphone amplifier is small battery operated device that is placed...

Ill second the neutral reference.

Imagine replacing the ipod buds with YUIN PK1's that are being driven by an amp. Two phonophones, one per channel. Stereo horns.

Now people can sell their customs, others can buy it, and have them redone!

In progress nate? I guess slow, succulent unpacking is a progress all in itself Just kidding.

12 volt.. on the go. 5x the battery life too. 9volt lipo inside too for when the pack runs out. 6x the battery life.

Not enough space. Yet the price goes up. Then it forces anyone who isn't able to make their own dock (most buyers) to purchase the caps in the form of a line out cable. Sure there is the imod dock out which is just a dock with the caps in, but that's still 85 dollars. What happened to the...

Transport would be important if your current transport, and to a lesser extent your current dac is an older model (90's or earlier). Keep distances short between the two, and get a cheap transport unless you are going for looks. Put all the money towards the dac.

People need to stop comparing imods to anything other than daps. Of all daps, I think it is the best because it has ipod functionality ( alac+tunes) with almost the best sound quality out there for a dap, OR it could be a power user's toy (rockbox +flac +eq), and sound good. There may be...
