Ok, well like I said I was just pulling at straws trying to guess why some of my music sounded harsh, while other music sounded beautiful. The thing about drum&bass music is that it is often nothing but a very expressive bassline some hint of a mid-range melody in places (whatever part of the...

Out of curiosity, what kind of music do you listen to? I've mentioned before that my experience with the Noble 3U was a tad bit shrill when I first started using it and I eventually either got used to it, it somehow toned itself down, or my use of EQ fixed the problem for me (honestly not sure...

Ahh, sorry. I hadn't gotten that feel from the thread (that it was for "new stuff"). I had just assumed that all the comments on new offerings were just the trend "because they are new". I wish there was a way to get my hands on an M3 to try it out. I was seriously considering getting it...

Haha, that's how I've been all day long. FedEx told me that I'd get my order by "8pm" and while FedEx normally drops packages off between 10am and 2pm, they didn't show up today until 7pm. Even worse, I had seen them making a delivery a few houses down the street at around noon, and they just...

For those of you who've been Wizard fans for longer than I, and who have had a chance to sample many of his products, I have a question: I am very much a basshead, but also a closet audiophile. I have a pair of HD 650s and have had some experience pulling the trigger on lackluster "cheap"...

The A&K SR15 uses the same pair of DAC chips as the R5, and also has a "Quad-Core CPU" (though, I can't find anywhere that actually lists the actual SoC model... the Snapdragon 425 used by the Hiby R5 is a quad-core ARM Cortex A53@1.4GHz), so it may be possible for Hiby to bring MQA to the R5...

Ahh, sorry. I couldn't decide whether you had misunderstood me or if you were just trying to tell me that nothing had changed recently. I took the first case just in case. Hope it didn't sound like I was talking down to you or anything. I know that forums often have language barriers and...

I don't mean that it would degrade the battery, just that playing Hi-Res files uses more power than regular CD-quality files do. So, say you were only playing CD-quality files up until two week ago and you were getting 4 days of playback on a charge, then you switched to Hi-Res files. You...

Other than possible battery problems, there is also how "hard" you are working the player. Have you loaded any hi-res music that is of a higher sample or bit rate, like 24/192k or 24/96k when you normally play 16/48k? Is a lot of your music in AAC or MP3 format, but you recently started...

Ahh, thanks! I'll try that out, then. Right now my music is all in the "media" folder because I also load videos on the card from time to time. I'll just rename the folder and I should be set :)

Heh, I guess I'm like one other person posting here: I bought the A45 at Crutchfield and popped in here to see if there was anything else that was interesting to learn about it after charging it, loading it up with some music, and tweaking the settings to get it sounding just right... only to...

I agree with much of what has been mentioned regarding first impressions. I purchased these to have a set of cans that would be good for the type of music I listen to most often: electronica (specifically, vocal and melodic drum&bass, dubstep, and dance) and alt rock/grunge/90s. As points of...

MOAR BASS? (Than the Sennheiser HD 650s?) :L3000::wink:

Oh sweet, finally got my deliver-by date of Friday the 6th. Three days to get my chance to listen.

Man, hearing everyone else post their estimated delivery dates is really making me jealous while I sit here expecting to be the last person to have his pair sent out.
