Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
I picked up one of these in Singapore on Sunday. Manufacture date was 2014-04 and it was running the older software.. As soon as I connected it to WiFi it said that the update was available. No big deal..- Kirium

REVIEW: WESTONE 3, the ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL IEM vs everything else
Got a set flying their way to Australia with FedEx. Will compare them to my old W3's (from the first release) and my Shure SE535LTD's (red). Not expecting a difference in sound between old and Gold W3, but new cable and vault case will be nice updates.- Kirium

Review and discussions - Audioengine D1 24/96 USB and Optical DAC/amp for laptops and computers
Went with the D1 and the little Audioengine a2s. Quite a nice little combo for desktop computer audio for mot much more than watching youtube and a few TV shows or background music while surfing... Using optical out of the MBP to the D1, and Van den Hul D102 MkIII Hybrid interconnects to...- Kirium

Review and discussions - Audioengine D1 24/96 USB and Optical DAC/amp for laptops and computers
I'm wondering if it's worth spending the extra for the Icon HDP over the D1 to drive a set of Audioengine 5+ and/or Beyer DT990s fed by my MacBook Pro. Anyone have any thoughts?? I suspect it'll be swings and roundabouts, the HDP may be a slightly better performer, but the D1 can be bus...- Kirium

Anyone do a review on Etymotic hf2's?
Well I bit the bullet and bought a set of hf2's. Review below.. Initial impressions: Very pleased with them for $220 AUD. Very crisp with wonderful clarity in the mids and highs. Lows are also very well controlled, but lacking in punch and extension. Not the same level of bass response as...- Kirium

Anyone do a review on Etymotic hf2's?
Bumping this as I'm struggling to find a review anywhere on here of the hf2's. I got an iPhone on the weekend and need something to replace the iBuds. I'm currently using Westone UM2's with my 5.5G iPod and need something decent to replace them with for the iPhone. I figured the ety love on here...- Kirium

Your Speakers or Your Headphones???
Another 2 words I could think of to describe Old Pa... LUCKY person!!! I go all weak at the knees just imagining I own B&W Nautilus 800's. The only thing better than Nautilus 800's are Nautilus 800 Signatures... Meanwhile, i voted for speakers.... yes, my lowly little B&W 602 S3's...- Kirium

The Predator, Portable Headphone Amp/USB DAC Combo
Ray, the Predator looks very promising, with one major downside for me. No optical input. Is there any reason why the vast majority of headamp DAC's have USB connection over Optical? Personally, as an Apple MacBook Pro user, I favour optical over USB, and have a desktop DAC/amp with optical...- Kirium

Westone 3 - You asked for it, we listened !
Doug, Can you please hurry up and release them while the Australian dollar is so strong against the USD??? The AUD is currently hovering around 90 US cents.. I remember a few years back when it was around 50-60 cents...- Kirium
