FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Nobody huh? Nobody from FiiO, James or otherwise. So I hit the nail right on the head but was expecting at least one other member to back me up.- SolariS

Android phones and USB DACs
Isn't 20 cm too long? I'm thinking about the 14 cm one from JDSLabs even though it comes out to around $7 with shipping :/ : http://www.jdslabs.com/products/86/micro-to-mini-usb-otg-cable/- SolariS

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
This is exactly the reason why I bought a 3 year warranty on mine because my Fiio E5's headphone connection got loose in under a year making it useless. In regards to the E17, like I said a few posts above, why even have a firmware version display and default menu option if none was ever to...- SolariS

FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought
Has there been a firmware update which adds auto screen timeout to the E17? It's been about a year and I try to utilize the Hold feature whenever possible but I still have burn-in in the middle when I scroll the settings.

Brainwavz HM5 Pads (Different Colours / Velour / Leather)
Going by some reviews, these were going for $9.xx just a few months ago (when they debuted?). Why did the price double in such a short time? Also, the names for the products aren't distinguishing enough. One looks to be thinner and is listed here, another is from the 4 different color sets...- SolariS

Deal Alert!!! Philips HP-910 and Alienware OZMA 5
Got these a couple days ago! Did anyone else get the demo cd as it says in the description? Mine came in an untaped box with just the headphones in them so just wondering. These are my first "real" pair of headphones after the ksc75. The initial clamping force was tight so I used the top of...- SolariS

AD700/SR225/HD595/HD600 Comparisons?
Awesome, thanks for the quick replies guys, although not so much on my part lol. I ordered the fiio e5 as it was $20 FS- figured might as well as my first venture into amp territory for that price. About the dark vs. bright sound, I've had the ksc75 for about 3 weeks now and at first the...- SolariS
