Thanks for all of the input guys....

I am going to buy a CMOY headphone amp but I am uncertain which is the better amp. I don't have the money to spend on any higher end amps so I need to decide from these two...or three....(unless someone can point me in a better direction for the same price)   this one from JDS Labs and on...

What is the difference(if any) between the ESW9 and the ESW9A?

The seller sent me another picture of the headphones in question. They do look real in the photo attached. I then asked for a photo of the back of the box but he hasn't sent me anything yet.

I did a reply from the Ebay seller.... "Ben-Brown, this is exactly what I have; they are in this exact box. Are you planning to buy one or did you buy one? My supplier is from USA, but they are made in China like everything else. Not sure what else to say, but again, this is exact...

Noob here...I just found this thread and have been reading it all day. Very interesting and a very nice review too. I have been looking at these types of amps on Ebay for some time now and after reading the review I now know what I want. I checked the Penguin website and it seems they won't be...

Thanks...I'll give it a shot.

Sorry...forgot to add that I am using Windows....No Max for me I guess. Yes, all of the flac files do have the tag info. I was hoping to find some software that would read the naming structure and tag the files or something that could recode to ALAC with the metadata intact. Even if I get...

I have a very extensive music collection stored in the flac format. When I want to add these to iTunes I obviously have to decompress the files to wav and then add to iTunes. Then I tag and rename every file manually. All of my flac files are named ARTIST - ALBUM - TRACK# - SONG NAME. Then after...
