Hi, all -   I'm looking for something to replace my T20i (I like them well enough, except for the cord. The memory wire part hasn't held up well, and the cables aren't replaceable, so I want to replace them with something that has a better quality/replaceable cable.)   For non-commute...

Yes, sorry—SPC!   Yep, I know what you're saying... as much as I like the thinness of the BaX, I do find myself missing the memory wire a bit.   As far as difference, I can't say I expected much between the Noble SPC and the Linum, but I do think the balanced aspect makes a difference.

Oh, I'm sure I'll ask Ted to make me a pure silver balanced cable soon, too... I'm new at this, and was intrigued by the thinness/flexibility!

Very cool, I wish I'd had Dr. John's expert help with mine! :)   I got the Linum silver balanced cable. I like how thin it is.

Very important point, and I didn't know this detail. Thank you!

Thank you all so much. Got the cable changed... Very interested to hear the K10s balanced with my Onkyo DP-X1!

Hey, guys- I have a 2-pin balanced cable that I want to use with my K10s... And I haven't changed one before. Is it a simple pull really hard to get the plug out of the IEM? Any trick to it? (I've done some searching and haven't found any good info on how to do this.) I appreciate any info...

Thank you so much! I'm not an Android person, so had no idea to do this. (Also appreciate the tip about the potential instability of Android File Transfer; I'm using a card reader for tonight, and it's good to know that's a more predictable option!)

Thanks- it's a first for me, too! Usually the device just shows up on the desktop!

Hi, guys -   Just got my DP-X1, and it's set up, updated, and charging... but here's where I'm stuck: how do I get it to show up on my Mac desktop so I can drag music onto it? (That's what I used to do with my AK Jr.) Or, if I can't do that, how can I get my FLACs from my Mac to the DP-X1?  ...

Really, Echineko? Less than 5 minutes after my post, you're already about to cost me more money!  (I agree that there are better options than the AK Jr, but I really like how slim it is. Won't be long before I have to get something with balanced out, though, and I know there are greater...

Hello, gentlemen (I presume, mostly, given the themes of some recent posts. :)    I've been lurking for a couple of months, and have just recently gotten into high-end portable audio. But, I'm a gearhead, so have quickly learned way too much about all the best and most expensive players, IEMs...

I have the caramel as well. It's really nice, though none of the AK Jr cases from iRiver are actual leather. It's a material called Gaia Thermo, which is very leather-like (and incorrectly referred to as leather on some resellers' sites.) I wish there were a real leather option, but I am pleased...

Seamlessly. And other members have been using 200GB cards successfully for much longer. I'd recommend the Sandisk Ultra; they're very high quality and they're all I use for my photography, too.

Hi, all -   I got my AK Jr about a week ago, and have been listening on my morning (train and walking) commute for a couple of hours each day. (Thanks to DrSheep, Philk35, and Hikaru11 for suggestions on setting it up!)   I'm new to high-res portable audio (though I've been into home theater...
