It wouldn't flow well with the ER-4S? I was planning on pairing the two with an iMod, and use it as both a home-amp and a portable amp.

Only those who heard the original headcode would be able to give any insight on that. But I don't think that is in circulation anymore.

Can I come? Please put me on the maybe list if you have any spots left. The only equipment I can offer to bring are two sets of headphones: Ety ER-4S and Koss KSC-75, as well as a Go-Vibe 5. I'm in the middle of rebuilding my headphone setup. Just eliminated iMod from the situation and waiting...

http://www.av123forum.com/attachment...1&d=1208737839 There's a picture of the X-Head from a recent GTG in NJ. I'm not sure if that is the prototype look or the final production casing.

Nice impressions! I imagine you tested these both amped. I'm wondering if you can give me an opinion on the following: 1) iPod amped through LOD vs 2) Clip unamped The reason being that I have a Go-Vibe 5. And I'm wondering if I should ditch it.

Thanks for the tip. Media Monkey can open up my limits to more portable players. I would love to get the Sansa (it gets so much praise), but even that tops off at 4GB. If there was something along the lines of 8GB, I would be set. I will try to accomodate my music to this. Any other...

The problem is that most of my music is already in FLAC. And having to convert it into mp3 is going to take a lot of time, and more storage space on my computer. I will look into the Cowon. I don't imagine iPods are good SQ sources? I have about 20GB of music. I just said 30GB to be...

And my ER-4, I hope you mean the ER-4S and not the P

I've been a fan of the iMod for a while. But I have noticed that I don't benefit from it greatly when I'm on the go, which is when I mostly use it. So instead of carrying the extra baggage, I thought I would find a more portable mp3 player that I will mate with my Go-Vibe 5. I have abandoned...

Thanks again guys. I have one last question though that I can't seem to find a solid answer to. Is there a difference in using my laptop's S/PDIF and the UD-10s? The way I see it, the signal is being sent out for an external DAC to deal with. On top of that, I have Foobar setup to transmit a...

Thanks for the link. It doesn't describe how the headphone amp sounds though. If it sounds good, I have a wacky experiment I want to try out. Using it as a transportable headphone amp. Unfortunately, this doesn't fly well with an iMod, because even if I get a cable that terminates in USB from...

Has anyone used this device? I'm curious to know what the headphone amp section is like. Is it your average receiver headphone output, or something more extraordinary?

Not just pricey, but the description looks like terrible marketing to me. It's full of grammatical errors, and they really overused the word 'audiophile'. On top of which, this seems to be marketed at 'audiophiles' who have no experience in the portable industry. "look no flashlight, run over...

I've written about what I want to do with my rig a few times. Thanks everyone for your help. I have pretty much settled on this. I've still got the M^3 on the back on my mind, but this has a lot more feedback. So my planned setup is 5.5gen iMod -> DIY Sonicap Dock -> Lisa III -> Etymotic...
