Quote:   It's been too long since I heard the UM3X for me to provide a concrete answer to that question.

Quote:   I had the UM3X a few years ago so I'll just make some general comments - read with skepticism.  I found the UM3X to be somewhat dull sounding with a smallish soundstage.  I wasn't all that impressed with the bass quality/quantity either.  At the time I felt if the UM3X had been...

Quote: According to ClieOS in this post the IE800 is more mid-centric with less bass.  If anything, I'm looking for a warmer/more bassy sound than the BA200.

Quote:   Hilarious!  Would be nice if there was a DD based IEM that had sound similar to the BA200.

I just got the BA200.  A great sounding headphone, and I do not include "for the price" in that.  It has a nice warm sound with just the right amount of treble rolloff that makes it easy to listen to, but not muffled or dull.  It's good to know you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a lot...

Does anybody know where to buy the "Sony" (silicone outside,foam inside) tips that ship with the GR07?  The purple one is a fantastic fit and I want to use them on other headphones.  I've tried the Sony hybrids but they are just not the same.

Maybe this is a tangent, but what headphones would people recommend to people who are looking for something like the PFE 112/232?  They don't have to sound exactly like the them, but they would be headphones PFE fans would probably like or enjoy.   I've been out of touch with the headphone...

Quote:   Definitely.  Planning to buy tips, filters, and even ear guides!

I’m sad to see how few posts this thread has gotten.  In a world filled companies that release a “new” IEM every few months, FOTMs, and price/brand/driver induced placebo, Audeo really stood out with offering a single (eventually 2) great product.   The PFE 112 was an eye opener for me.  For...

Quote: I have experience with a similar situation so I'll just say what I did.  In my case the package arrived on a Friday and was left at my doorstep because I was out of town.  I saw it when I got back on Sunday.  I brought it into my home but did not open it.   I then called the...

It's a good thing you purchased it using a credit card!  Most everybody I know (me included) has been able to get their money back from the CC company for this type of stuff.  I think the most important thing is to make sure you have proof that you don't have the item.  That shouldn't be too...

The ebay feedback link shows 1 negative feedback after a lot of positive ones.  That's hardly the type of evidence one would use to conclude he is a scammer.   Quote:   That's perfectly normal.  Many people (me included) lurk on Head-Fi without logging in.  The day after I buy/sell...

Unfortunately, even outside of the holiday season, international shipments can take a long time.  I once sent something that was supposed to reach in 10 days, but it took ~5 weeks.  USPS stated that tracking to that country wasn't possible and so I had to send it without tracking.  The buyer did...

Quote: Do you actually have any evidence to claim this "fact" is accurate?  I know a lot of people who own PMPs and portable headphones/IEMs.  All of them have times when they just sit on their couch and just listen to music.  I've also seen plenty of people (young and old) sitting on a...

Also, there is more to "illegal downloads" than you've presented.  Search for articles where musicians have talked about the music labels.  The music labels want to blame all their problems on piracy, but they've done plenty of things to damage themselves and the artists.  Here is an article...

Quote: You might be overestimating how much people used to listen to music as a singular activity.  IME a lot of people listened to their massive sound systems while cleaning, doing office work at home, paying bills, balancing checkbooks, homework, eating meals, etc.  For a lot of people...

You're in Dubai?  I used to live there - nice to see somebody from over there over here.   Quote:   Sorry, but I don't agree with this at all.  Do some blind testing of lossy vs lossless and you'll find that above ~192kbps it's near impossible (if not impossible) to distinguish lossy...

Thanks for the info!

Any updates? Or is Phonak delaying the release for another 6 months so we have time to come to terms with the price :rolleyes:

Quote: You could measure the output voltage.  All you need to do is play a 1khz tone file through Foobar at full volume and measure the output voltage of the DAC.  You also need to make sure it's not clipping - I'll let somebody else tell you how to do that as I don't want to give you the...

Quote: That makes sense.  Thanks.  I think most every portable device I use outputs less than 1Vrms, so I guess I don't have to worry too much.

Quote:   I have a question.  Please note that I'm asking this question honestly - I'm not an engineer and don't know the answer.   What is the difference between the O2 and some other amp (e.g. the Mini3) in the regard?  In a previous post you stated that the "γ1 DAC puts out...

Quote: While I do agree that it's unfair that NvAwGuy cannot post in this thread, I don't think deleting this thread is the answer as Head-Fi is a popular site.  Many people who have the engineering know-how to comprehensively review and critique the O2 are on Head-Fi, not on the other...

Many of the big chain stores sell the Kindle.  Examples are Best Buy and Target.  You can even check if they have it for sale in the store from the website for the store.

Quote:   Could it be possible this is because the output is 16/44 and the input is 24/96?  I realize in theory this should not be a problem, but maybe there is some software related issue?   Quote: Looking forward to your results.
