D-EJ2000 "Tourist" model RightMark report
Hello Duncan and all, I've never, knowingly, listened to any modern audio device that has .5mW output so I can't comment on .5mW. To me, the "Tourist" D-EJ2000 has *plenty* of volume when played through the MDR-EX71. Since the unit is not exported to other countries, I'm assuming (careful!)...- D555

D-T450 RightMark test report
Hello David, Of course not. These are simple, crude, objective tests. My computer is not a multi-thousand dollar calibrated audio instrument. In absoluete terms these tests may not even be that accurate. They may only be accurate in relation to each other. These tests are being run for...- D555

MZ-N10 RightMark report
Hello, Sony MZ-N10, USA model. Using Sony optical cable between D-EJ2000 and MZ-N10 a digital copy of the RightMark CD of test signals was made. Seemed to record OK. Not sure how accurate these results will be as a result of this "second generation" copy to MD but I thought it might be fun to...- D555

D-EJ2000 "Tourist" model RightMark report
Hello Duncan, I've done some comparison with the D-555 -- definitely not finished yet. I would give the D-555 the edge in upper frequency detail and bass that seems to reach deeper (no EQ). I would say with this initial comparison the D-555 is the winner but the D-EJ2000 isn't such a disgrace...- D555

RIO KARMA screws?
If they're real small screws find/check a hobby shop that sells parts for building model airplanes -- like Hobbytown USA (if you're in the USA). The hobbyists typically use very small screws, hinges, washers, etc.- D555

The Sony MDR-EX90LP are an "open" earbud/IEM design and I think are the best of the Sony IEM series and are pretty good.- D555

CX300, Super.fi 3, EP-630, or MDR-EX90LP
Because of the hybrid earbud/IEM design of the EX90 there isn't much isolation (but I think that they sound the best of the Sony IEMs). A traditional IEM with a good fit would provide a better seal. Sennheiser CX-300 may be worth a look.- D555

Thanks! There is Rockbox for certain Archos but not the AV500 I'm afraid.- D555

Portable CD player sounds so good!
There's still life in the "old" format. Gapless, lossless, and usually for many, the standard of which compression algorithms are judged.- D555
