noise cancelling earbud recommendation
I recently started a job in a wide open call center type area, and while not part of the actual employees who take phone calls, I am having trouble doing things such as studying with so much conversation going on around me. I brought some bose soundsport earbuds with me but I have to turn them...- narcispy

SONY NW-ZX2
Not really. I haven't really decided on something noise isolating, open, or anything else yet. I do know I need a pair of IEMs for running/exercise but those can be different.- narcispy

SONY NW-ZX2
None at all right now. Or nothing worth mentioning. This is my first portable setup, I use my Denon D5000s and LCD2's at home.- narcispy

I just got my ZX2 in the mail. What IEMs pair well with this thing without using an external amp?- narcispy

True. Guess I'll shoot for that. I'd try it out balanced sometime with my LCD2's at home but yes in an everyday use I would go for unbalanced.- narcispy

Want to get a portable DAP but confused
Now I'm trying to decide between these 3 DAPs. I like each one for different reasons. Leaning more towards the Onkyo for the price. They are all around that 800-900 new price though. Questyle QP1R Like - Superior sound quality for the price Dislike - no android so I can't load Tidal...- narcispy

Pretty sure it's the PS3 I have, launch model that has backwards compatablity and the card readers. Thanks for your thoughts, that Q1PR looks pretty nice, although pricey.- narcispy

Want to get a portable DAP but confused
After watching more reviews I'm really liking the Pioneer XDP-100R more and more. Looks like it has tons of features and is a really good value for the money compared to some other offerings. I'm not even sure what the real difference is between that and the Onkyo DP-X1, the chips look to be...- narcispy

Want to get a portable DAP but confused
Yes this sounds more like what I'm looking for. Very nice list though I think I've already looked at a few reviews of a couple of those. The X7 looked right up my alley but I'll be eyeing out for a used one if possible. I like the look of the Astell and Kern stuff but it's very pricey for...- narcispy

Want to get a portable DAP but confused
Hello, I currently only have an older ipod touch as my main portable DAP, mostly use it in the car but on occasion I go on trips and bring it with me. I'm trying to get into something a little more future proof and hifi that can play some FLAC files from my computer. I mainly use Tidal...- narcispy

Used but manufacture date of early 2016 so it's a relatively new Fazor.- narcispy

Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread
I got my LCD2's in the mail yesterday and I'm pairing it with my Vali 1.0 and Modi 1.0 which is the only amp/dac I currently own. Am I really driving these things to their full potential? To me the bass seems a bit lacking compared to my other cans I own (although those are closed and easier...- narcispy
