    Walkman NWZ F886 officialy announced!! [192khz/24bits]

    Which items are people using. Currently I have the meelectronic a161p but they distort at high volume. Looking for an upgrade.

    New Shure SE215 - First Impressions

    Thinking of getting these as a replacement to the meelectronics a161p.  Worth it?

    Walkman NWZ F886 officialy announced!! [192khz/24bits]

    I having trouble noticing any difference after this.  Is it because I bought my player from Japan and it maybe doesn't have a volume cap?  I have an option in the settings for AVLS (volume limit) - which I always uncheck.  Do you have this option or is it on Japan devices only?   I also have...

      As do I, usually. But with no EQ and no enhancements the player is sounding disappointing.

    What EQ are people using? Ive been using the ClearAudio+ thing, which after a while becomes quite boomy and tiring. I've tried turning everything (sound enhancements) off and it sounds a little tiny.

    THanks, weirdly the SQ seems much better now.  Could it be something to do with the v1.10 update that I recently installed?     I now think battery life is the only downside to this player.  I have a Sony xperia phone which lasts days (almost a week) without charging.  I can see having the...

    Walkman NWZ F886 officialy announced!! [192khz/24bits]

    Can users of this player please tell me how much battery life you actually get?   Do people completely turn the player off when they're not using it?   I can't believe that my player is normal.  Like another user above said, you can actually see the battery level going down live.   Right...

    Walkman NWZ F886 officialy announced!! [192khz/24bits]

    Can anyone advise on getting the best sound out of this player? I've got a pair of Audio Technica ATH Es55 and some Meelectronics a161p IEMS. But the sound isnt' great out of either. There's a lack of power, seperation and clarity. I'm also finding it quite fatiguing after a while as I have to...

    I thought the ZX1 had a headphone amplifier - inside that bulge on the back?    I don't think the F886/7 has one which is making me wonder if it will sound as good, on its own, as the s:flo2.

    Walkman NWZ F886 officialy announced!! [192khz/24bits]

    Considering getting one of these, but I'm wondering if the sound is as good as the s:flo2.  Anyone have experience of both players?  The s:flo2 has serious amplification, and I'm just concerned this Sony player won't quite get to the level of the s:flo2.  What is this Sony players amplication...

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper Replacements

    My monster turbine pro copper IEMS have developed a weird fault where they work fine for around 20 minutes, then there's a 'pop' coming from the right phone, and I can then only hear about 60% of the sound as before.  Anyone experienced this and know what's causing it and any way to fix?  They...

    S:flo2 impressions thread

    I recently bought some MeElectronics A161p IEMs to replace my broken Monster Turbine Pro Bronze IEMs.  However, when used with the s:flo2 it is like the IEMS are unable to reproduce the sound properly from device.  I should state here that this is definitely not a case of one IEM being inferior...

    The Fiio X3 Thread.

    Speaking of which, how closer are we to an intuitive UI X3?    Can't they just make the UI easy to use and make the unit more sleek and modern looking?  I'd only consider one of these it Fiio solved these problems.

    Is the Sony NW-HD5 any good even though its so old?

    I just dug out my NW-HD5 after not listening to it for couple of years.    Wow, seriously good-sounding player.  No idea how Sony achieved it.  It can't play lossless (about 350kbps is the max).  With no external amp it has a seriously impressive ability to power my headphones.  It has a nice...
