    Possible problem with my Predator

    Hey folks, hoping one of you knowledgable types can help me with this. Basically, as of about 30 mins ago, when I have my predator running from the power supply there is a clicking coming through the headphones, constantly. Even with no imput connected it just clicks quickly. Also, the led...

    UPDATED 2/22 REVIEW 13 USB DAC amp - Predator, Pico, 2/3MOVE, D10 D3 D2 Viper/Boa D1, Lyrix, MicroAmp, Vivid V1, Nuforce, XM5

    :O My Predator just arrived like 2 mins ago and my god I had no idea how tiny this really is. None of the pictures do justice to just how small and compact this little thing is! As for listening, need to run and grab myself a usb cable for it, cant find one with the right connector in the...

    Pico Vs Predator as DAC only - need advice

    I have read through countless threads at this stage on these two amp/dacs. However I could not find out the info I needed. I know they are both fantastically good for their price in terms of SQ and their Dac sections. However, I would be looking at using it as a dac only feeding into a Little...

    Suggest a desktop DAC for PC -> DAC -> LD MkIII

    I'm considering getting a desktop DAC. I have a Little Dot MkIII on its way to me and I am using my pc for playback ALAC/FLAC. I was/am going to be getting a Pico, although I am impatient and was also thinking of a more non portable solution. I would prefer as cheap as possible but I...

    DT770 (250Ω) Amp...???

    Personally what I am doing is getting an amp/dac and then I plan eventually to get myself a small tube amp for use at home. That way I can use the dac/amp combo with the laptop on the go easily, can use it with my ipod for portable and also use it as a dac for the tube amp. Thats what suits...

    It can happen a lot with these players that you fry the charging circuit if you use any other charger with them, even for a metter of seconds. Have you plugged in the wrong charger recently?

    DT770 (250Ω) Amp...???

    To be honest I got the 2005 versions for the same reason, I just think they look a lot better The only issue I have with them is managing the cable, its quite long for portable/pc use :P I'm throwing around the idea of getting them recabled to about a 3ft cable. Or (more likely - im poor...

    Ibasso D1 + Beyerdynamic DT770 250 ohm

    I have this exact setup and yes, it is quite sufficient. They are enopugh to make em LOUD if thats your thing but you dont need to, they sound great at quite moderate levels. Although the bass can seem a little weak at quite low volumes but I think this is less of actual weak bass and more that...

    DT770 (250Ω) Amp...???

    For what it's worth I have these headphones myself. I can run them straight out of a player and it is still listenable. (Its an iRiver h120 at the moment) but when I put them through the amp (an iBasso D1) everything sounds quite a lot better. I couldn't really notice it when I first started...

    Anyone tried the D1 -> dt 770 250ohm version? I'm liking what i have read (still digging deeper into the past posts :P) and damn they look comfy. Just don't wanna get them and be stuck without enough power for them.

I tried the difference sized tips but i found myself fiddling with them all day and ended up with sore ears again. I think im definatly in the market...

    Hehe, the workplace is very casual, I dont need to worry about what i wear at all but if iems are a better option in the price range i shall definatly go for them. its all about the comfort/no sound leaking [EDIT: And ofc sound quality ] (me hearing noise is fine, its quite quiet anyways) but i...

    Just got back from work *tired* figured I would add some extra info. I mostly listen to metal (metallica, iron maiden). I have considered IEMs but am a bit unsure. I used to get sore ears listening to earphones (crappy ipod type things), Not sore from the sound, but sore from them being in my...

    Yeah, I would be using it with the D1. And obviously comfort is a big issue. I can wear whatever tbh, its not a big deal, if it wsant for the sound leaking I would be using the 325i's EDIT - I would probably end up wanting something else anyway due to comfort issues

    I need to get some new headphones for at work. I currently have Grado SR325i and i really like them... However I cant really use them at work due to how much sound thet let out. It is a very quiet work place and so I need something suitable. I only have about 100 euro (150 dollars) to spend. I...
