I don't have a ton of experience with the Zunes, but I have had a Zen V: M 30GB since Christmas and I've been less than pleased. My former unit is an iRiver iHP-120, and the iRiver beats the Zen in every category except screen and video capabilities. I'm now planning on selling my Zen and...

From somebody who has much less experience with DAPs than you guys and hasn't really posted here in several years, let me share my limited experiences: I've had an H-120 for over 3 years now. The only reason I got it back then was because it basically had every possible feature out there when...

Well after cutting the triflanges to be biflanges, I can definitely say that the muddled mids and highs I was experiencing are gone. These things sound very good now. They're not quite as comfortable and definitely don't seal as well as the complys, but the sound enhancement is worth it.

I've just gotten some UM-1s. I found the treble and mids to be slightly lacking, so I tried out the tri-flanges. This seems to fix the problem, but now I think some bass is gone. What's the biflange modification I keep reading about? Do I just cut off the bottom (large) flange? Will this add...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I posted, and luckily this thread covers almost exactly what I was going to ask. So I hope you don't mind if I whore it just a tad... I was settled on the Ety ER-6i before reading this thread. I've never heard of the Westones before, but now I'm curious...

Hey all, Sorry to correct you, but the DT 231 is not made by Sennheiser, it's made by Beyerdynamic. Furthermore, it is not closed at all (well, okay, a little bit). I bought a pair for my dorm-room computer earlier this year. The sound was pretty impressive (though slightly bass-lacking), but...

How exactly did you nuke your iHP?

yeah, i'm on an admin. account. thanks for the help. I'm going to remove both the Chaintech and my Audigy 1 (which is running with kx drivers). Then I'm going to make sure both cards' drivers are uninstalled completely (and folders). Then I'm going to put the chaintech back in, in a different...

Yeah, no matter what I try, I can't get the green (line-out) output to work anymore. And with the old drivers, the hi-rez mode, when on, doesn't even work coming out of the rear output. You say I may have "hosed" my system, which is very possible, but how can I fix this problem? I tried...

that old set of drivers didn't work at all, since the only output working on my card anymore is the 2-channel hi-res mode using the rear output as front, and the old drivers didn't have this option. Anyway, I can deal with having only one output if VIA would come out with drivers that...

thanks, can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of the older drivers that didn't have this problem? I have driver 5.12.01.3631 bui. Thanks.

bump... And, now it's gotten so bad, that even in 2-channel hi-res mode, the master volume control does not affect the left channel, only the right, even though the vinyl audiodeck shows both thinks being turned down/up. This is getting annoying, I really hope my card didn't just turn...

When I first got this card a few weeks back, the front (green) speaker output worked fine. Then I turned on the 2-channel high-sampling feature, and switched my speakers to the rear channel (next to the digital output). Now, no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the green output to work...
