    Where to buy a Fiio L11 or a decent alternative? (Anyone have one for sale?)

    Hi I already own one of these but I could really do with a second one to keep in the car permanently. It's a great little gadget, but it always seems to be where I'm not! Unfortunately though it has been discontinued for a while and I can't find one to buy anywhere. Has anyone seen one for...

    Looking for a multi USB car charger which will also charge an iPod Classic 160GB

    Hi all I will soon be doing a lot of travelling and so have been looking for a good quality USB hub that you plug into the car's cigarette lighter. I found a few on Amazon that got good reviews, but they said they are not compatible with the iPod Classic. Not sure why. But that's one of the...

    San Disk Clip - Line options? Or headphone out only?

    Hi all I'm looking for a cheap portable player and have the San Disk Clip in mind, the sport (but not the bluetooth one) and the jam. From what I can see though, neither have a line out option. Could anyone confirm whether that's the case please? I'll use it mostly in the car, so line out...

    EMU 0404 vs. Behringer UMC404HD for Sound & Converter Quality

    Hi all I've been looking for a soundcard for my brother and have narrowed it down to these two. I know they have quite a different feature set and are not comparable in that respect, but for reasons I won't bore anyone with, they are the two that have made the short-list.  As the soundcard...

    Hi all   I recently bought an X1 but I have not bought the Micro SD card to go with it yet.  I want to buy a 128GB card.    I know next to nothing about MicroSD and so wondered if anyone can tell me whether there are different types of MicroSD card and if so what types are compatible with...

    DAP Newbie - Please help me list all affordable high capacity DAPs

    Hi all   I have an iPod Classic 160GB which I bought at the beginning of the year.  At the time, I did not think there were too many other options for high capacity devices.  But it would seem that either new options have hit the market since then, or that I simply did not look hard enough!  ...

    Heed Canamp Interference/Buzz Problem

    Hi all When I first got my Canamp around a month ago, I noticed there was a very noticable buzz/interference - not from the unit itself, but through the headphones (K701). It was at its loudest with the volume all the way down. As you turned up the volume, the buzz got progressively quieter...

    Any Sennheiser HD650 owners in or around Norfolk (UK)?

    Hi I pondered for ages whether I should get K701 or HD650 headphones and in the end decided to go for K701. As much as I love them, I have always been curious to hear the HD650s and compare them. So a bit of a long shot I know, but are there any forumites in or around Norfolk (UK) who...

    I'm thinking of getting a DA10, but how to hook everything up?

    I'm seriously thinking of saving some money and putting it towards a Lavry DA10. I've heard such great things about it and from people whose opinions I really trust (esp Martin Walker @ SOS). Anyways, this digital world is all a bit new to me and I get confused as to how I would hook all my...

    Cannot hear a difference between HEED Canamp and EMU 1820M Headphone amp!

    Hi all That's right! When I first bought my K701s, the chap was also selling a Creek OBH-21SE amp. So I bought that as well, but I found I couldnt hear any difference between the Creek and the Headphone socket on my EMU 1820M. So I saved and searched and recently bought a Heed Canamp...

    Burning In Headphone Amps......

    Hi all My brand spanking shiny new Heed Canamp turned up this morning. I've read up in the past about burning in headphones, but what do people think about burning in amps? If it is recommended, for how long should it be burned in? And (sorry if this is a stupid question) what exactly...

    Darkvoice 336i or Lavry DA10 for AKG K701s in a studio set up

    Hi all Ive been saving for a Heed Canamp to power my K701s. Had a Creek OBH21-SE originally but that did not do much more for my cans than the headphone amp on my EMU1820M soundcard. Now Ijust came across this 336i for sale with mods...

    One last shootout!!!...Canamp vs Lavry DA10 for K701s

    Hi I recently got my amp of choice down to the last 2 for my K701s: namely the Heed Canamp and the Shanling PH100. And as both are around the same money in the UK, I'm favouring the Canamp because of the awesome reviews it gets. But one last thing has cropped up - the Lavry DA10. Now I...

    Buying advice for Shanling PH100 - would you buy from the Bay?

    Hi all Sorry about the very untechnical nature of this question!!! But I'm hoping to get my hands on a Shanling PH100, which is quite difficult in the UK. I've come across these on eBay: SHANLING PH100 HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER FOR DAC & CD PLAYER on eBay, also Headphones Earbuds, For MP3...

    Heed Canamp or SHanling PH100 for K701s?

    Hi I'll try to make this my last poll!!! Both very popular with the K701s, and as I'm in the UK, there is not much price difference between the 2. Cheers Max BTW - source = my PC with an EMU 1820M soundcard. Will get a decent CDP further down the line....

    How will this Input Controller effect sound quality?

    Hi all I recently bought an RCA Input Selector/Controller because I ran out of inputs! I'm now about to invest in some ICs - looking at things like the QED Qunex 2 and Qunex 3 ranges....things around that kind of quality/budget. Anyhow, I then got to wondering whether the Controller is...

    Upgrading Creek OBH-21SE --- Heed Canamp or MF X-Can v8

    Hi guys First off, I'm using AKG K701's. I've only had them a few months, and I bought them at the same time as the Creek amp (the guy sold me both for a discount). I've not been over the moon with the Creek, and I find little difference between that and the headphone out on my EMU 1820m...

    Suitable RCA Phono to 6.3mm Mono Jack for EMU1820m to Creek OBH-21SE to K701

    Hi there I always find it a bit hard to choose the right level of quality (and expense) of my leads. I mainly listen to music on my PC which has an EMU 1820M soundcard. I've got a CReek OBH-21SE but am thinking about selling it and getting a Heed Canamp. Phones = AKG K701. So I need...

    Cannot tell much difference between Creek OBH-21SE and EMU 1820M

    Hi all After a bit of close A/B 'ing with a OBH-21SE and the built in headphone amp on my EMU 1820M soundcard, I'm finding it hard to notice much difference in sound quality! I'm using K701s. Am I weird? Or deaf? Or is it that the Creek is crap?!?!?! I'm going to try to take the K701s and...

    Graham Slee Solo VS Creek OBH-21SE

    Hi there I just recently bought some AKG 701s and a Creek OBH-21SE. I'm still burining in at the moment (I've got about 170 hours). I'm quite impressed, but the bottom end still seems to be a bit lacking - as many said it is on these 'phones. I also find the top end a little on the harsh side...

    Creek OBH-21SE and AKG K701 for reference monitoring?

    Hi all Ive got some AKG K701s on the way and have had an offer on a good deal for a Creek OBH-21SE amp. I've read very mixed reviews on this amp, but most of the positive ones discuss it in combination with sennies. So I'm wondering how the amp will match the AKGs? They will mainly be used...
