My mistake, SPIDF is optical. (from Facebook)   Uh.. what? One of the biggest reasons why I've bought the Colorfly was because it had a Coax out to fit the Coax in on the JH-3A. :|   /edit   Is there such a thing as a portable (!) SPDIF Coax to Toslink converter?

What about adding one of those (or whatever variants and other brands are available): http://www.amazon.com/Just-Mobile-Gum-Power-Pack/dp/B0026NB4UE/

Not-really-necessary stuff like 24/196 and APE, but no OGG? Seriously? And it all sounded so good :|

Well, I have both the Colorfly and the HM 801 with me at the moment. And as far as I can tell there's not much difference in sound quality between both when listening with HD 650s, but the usability of the HM 801 is better. But I guess before really being able to judge the sound of them both I'd...

As far as I know it can already play wav files up to 24 bit / 192 khz, and the ability to play flac files up to 24 bit / 192 khz will be added with a firmware update.  Same with the USB DAC functionality, seems that will be added with a firmware update, too.

Thanks. Too bad.  Unfortunately I've just read that the Archos can't play OGG even with Rockbox.. so it's probably the Q5W or crying bitterly about the oggs I can't play :/   /edit   I've just called Colorful Europe. And they told me that the Colorfly does indeed play ogg files, and...

Does anyone know if the Colorfly plays ogg files? Different websites state different things when it comes to ogg. It seems like a good thing to pair with the JH-3A, but I've got many oggs lying around so ogg capability would be neccessary. If it doesn't I guess I have to try a rockboxed...

Thanks. That seems like enough information.

Guess I'll do that, too, one day. I got a new battery recently, so it would be a shame to throw it away. Any recommendations on a 32GB CF card? There are quite differently priced cards available.

Nothing spectacular, but I needed a replacement for my now dead X5L: Cowon D2+ 16GB + 16GB SD -> Corda 2MOVE -> UE-11. Unfortunately Rockbox isn't perfect yet.

Good that I was told something along the lines of march-may for Germany from the beginning. I just hope it won't be even later now, due to these issues.

Thanks for the links, will read them asap

Which drawbacks does balanced amplification have, besides the need for new cables? By the way, I'll use a Symphony, too - should be just good enough

I'm looking for an advice for someone else, he's looking for not too expensive in-ears with good fit, so I thought, customs might be the best idea. Now my question ist: Are the AEs (AE1 or AE2) ok, when it comes to sound quality? I doubt he would buy the Cs, as that would (+shipping+customs)...

It's probably a saying in every western country, too - for some people. Although, depending on the religious and/or cultural/educational/financial/social background there might be some regions/groups where it would be more probable to hear it, it's quite short-sighted to say it's "a saying in...

I don't regret it, I could send my Cantate.2 back in. And I have to admit, I would've bought it sober, too, someday. But maybe that "someday" would've been "in a few months".. Headphones are better than missuses! /edit Basically my thought process was something along the lines of "fu*k...

Last time I drank and surfed here I ordered a Corda Symphony. Waiting for it to arrive

*sigh* The more I follow this thread, the more some faint voice in my head tells me that it might be better to get a Corda Symphony to replace my Cantate.2 if I want to use the HD 800 someday. You shall be cursed, head-fi! /does anyone want to buy a cantate.2?

Darn, I want someone like you in this forum from Sennheiser Germany Seriously, I wonder why Sennheiser is (officially) so quiet about the HD 800, barring the CES announcement and the ad-announcement on their website(s).

Uhm, why don't you post them in here? Guess it would be helpful for more people. Although I'd be more interested in the first served German dealers, of course
