Oh yes I consider IEMs. I just don't see the reason to buy some IEMs for a grand (JH 13) while you could get some much more powerful over-ear headphones for a grand (Edition 8's). I also just like the look of over ears. I'm a fashion guy, so I want to show people with good taste in fashion that...

Thanks for all the help. The Studio V sounds excellent. I'm surprised it's that small. What would be some good full size headphones to use for the Studio V, you know?   Quote:  

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I think the FiiO is really overhyped. They make ultimately cheap products. I think I'll look into that Studio V auction. Would the Studio V be good paired with an amp? Or do you use the Leckerton Audio amp for the Studio V?   Quote:  

I think you've convinced me. :) Well overall, I think I'd just have to try it. But at the moment, I have a Cowon J3 and it is very accurate in both sound and in frequency tests. I would prefer to just focus on the J3 for now and figure out a way to make a balanced rig for that. When I have more...

I'm not going to be getting Edition 8 headphones for a long time. I would use those for my home rig and my portable rig. And yes, I would wear them around my neck. They would look extremely bad ass with some Versace, Tod's, and Louis Vuitton.  But that's in the future. For now, I am simply...

The Studio V sounds like a beautiful player. I've seen it before and it looks like it has amazing build quality. I'm curious of what the Studio V's RMAA tests would look like. Dfkt should check it out. I don't want my ears to entirely decide whether a DAP is accurate, but rather a physical test...

  Yes they are very colored. But trust me, I didn't ask for them. They're alright for general listening though. I'm planning on getting some Ultrasone Edition 8's for my portable rig sometime.   I think the J3 needs amplification. It could at least have the signal redirected to a one with...

It's no problem man. I'm curious how does the RE262 in-ears sound with the J3 unamped? I'm using some UE 700 in-ears.   Quote:  

Is it really that short? I think I might use that player for records that don't need to have gapless. But anyway, maybe we should a little back on topic here. :P   Quote:  

I'm curious about the Studio-V but at the same time I have heard that it doesn't do gapless. Which I'm not sure if I'm willing to part with. lol I'll look into the bid for sure.   Quote:  

Yeah I have tried Mach3Bass. It sounds a little too artificial for me. I would rather just keep it as close to the original performance as I can. If the artist doesn't want the bass to be as strong as the EQ makes it, then I don't really want to listen to it that way. Just my taste. :) I think I...

Oh yeah, for sure. I would like to hear your feedback on the iBasso T5 when you have it. Interesting. Do you prefer the sound of 4th generation iPod Touch unamped, to the sound of the i9 unamped? Quote: I haven't used S9 so I wouldn't know. Is the S9, the same tech as the J3? Are you...

Oh sorry, I forgot to say what my budget is. The player I would be buying now would have to be under $300. But It would be appreciated if you guys could also recommend other player of different prices, just in case I upgrade.   Quote: Thanks for the info. I've heard of lots of high-end...

Bump.

Hello, I am looking for a much needed amp for the J3. I do not care about what pleases my ears, I am looking for an amp that will produce the sound as true to the original performance as possible (I hate EQ). I want a portable headphone amplifier that will redirect the signal and fix the...
