Thank you!

I own all 3 and can answer yes to your questions. You can also try the Xduoo XD-05 if cheaper and has the 6.5 jack, but you'd need to replace the chip with one of your choice to max it out.

Thanks for this, I noticed when I flipped the original earpads the P3 sounded much better. I'll try this, a shame with 2 versions B&W didn't pick up on this!

I'll be damned!

Good thing I have the A50!

Won't argue that, but I was hoping it was the 300s sound coming through when connected. I never received a reply from Sony about that.

It sounds great, very clear and solid all around. I never received a reply from Sony about is the MDR's dac shut off when connected to a Sony Walkman or are you listening to the built in dac.

So I guess it is safe to assume that there will be no further updates for the i5?

These make a great pair! Digital sound!

Thanks for the replies, I'll unify my files under 1 or 2 formats. Thanks again!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a question concerning playback on the Z3? I'm I the only person that has this thing freeze, stop, black out at random? Or is it the various formats of my music files that drive this thing crazy? Any and all help is appreciated!

Read several pages back from this one and consider the faults of this product and AK, then decide.

Welcome to AK's (hahahaha) support of the Stepchild. They have abandoned this, well, like a Stepchild. You're better off looking online for the battery and someone that will install it for you. Good luck!

Same here! None of my NOS tubes hum at all! I have RCA, Silvertone, and a Tung-Sol, but a US built version, and none hum. The newer Russian Tung-Sol hums. Hmmm, guess I have some burn in time to do!
