I don't know why, I added a few new songs to my microSD card and it freezes on updating media library now. I've deleted the files and sitll have the exact same issue, it freezes in random spots too sometimes at like 4000 something or some times at 50 or 200 etc...any suggestions?

I just got the Fiio X1, I am a bit dissapointed in the limited EQ bands. Now I understand this is not a parametric EQ, but when applying the EQ does it impact more than that specific frequency?

  Thanks for that.   It goes to show even though you have the same chipset, DAC and opamps if your power supply and other components are not up to scratch, it will degrade sound quality. It's the implementation that is important

I'm looking for a new DAP to replace my dead RoCoo P that has been used for many years. I'm looking for something around the same physical size (can be a bit bigger), micro sd card slot, with the same amount of headphone power or more with hopefully better sound quality.I like a sound that has a...

Has anyone compared these to the ortofon e-q5? I'm curious to know if these would absolutely be an upgrade or not. 

Has anyone been able to compare this amp to the Schiit Jotunheim? They are pretty much in the similar price points with each other.

Thanks for all your replies.  Although I want to buy just for the HD650 alone, I want a more versatile amp, still not 100% sold on tubes yet though.  Any other warm sounding SS amps for around $500 USD that don't have the flaws of the polaris?

Trying to get everyone's opinion on these for a pair of HD650s or if there are other amps (around the $450 mark) I should look at as well (Ember II, Schiit jotunheim, bottlehead crack + speed mod (most expensive one))?   I'm interested in this because it's supposed to be a solid state that has...

After some other research i've throwin in the Garage 1217 Polaris and Ember 2.1 amps...thank's for your feed back raybone0566. What about the nfb do you think is better? What were the issues with the hpa-v90?

Anyone have any opinions on how these amps would compare? Audio GD NFB-1AMP/C-2, Lake People G109 or Schitt Jotunheim for HD650. I'll be using a single ended DAC (Schitt Modi Multibit) as I don't have the funds to allocate to a balanced DAC. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. I've heard...

I was lucky enough to get into the MD for the HD6xx, but now I'm slowly doing research on amps and dacs. One of the amps I am looking at (Schiit Jotunheim) has a balanced output. I found these balanced cables which are quite affordable, but I know nothing about the company, any one have any...

Another Australian here, no success but I did get a charge from Massdrop on my CC.  I was trying paypal and credit card, and like most I was refreshing the hell out of the site once I saw "oops" or "uh-oh". Worst experience ever...I am very disappointed they had no real way to manage the server...

Having owned the HE-400 for the last few years I am looking to upgrade. I have previously owned a pair of HE-6 powered by a large speaker amp which I really adored. The reason for the downgrade was the speaker amp just took too much space, so I decided to get something that could be driven...

So I'm purchasing a DAC soon, and the DAC will not have a USB interface, this leaves me with either using the onboard realtek ALC889 Coxial or optical out to the DAC or purchase a USB to SPDIF unit.   Now because I'm keeping a digital source digital, I'm not too sure if the quality of the...

I came across this DAC on a website, specs here:   http://www.m2tech.biz/evo_dac.html   Evo DAC 192/32 digital-to-analog converter DETAILS 192kHz, 32 bits conversion, 32 bit I2S connection for use with hiFace Evo, coaxial S/PDIF and optical Toslink connections for...
