    Best phone as a digital transport is...?

    Not really "head-fi" but, thought I'd ask this here given the experience many have with mobile phones as transports. I'm in the process of building a 9-channel, fully active audio system which uses a digital audio processor complete with cross overs, time alignment, and DAC for incoming digital...

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    As there's no distributor here in Australia, I shopped directly from Dita. Send the boys an email (see the Dita website for details) and they'll advise how it's done. They were very helpful when I purchased my The Answers and shipping was less than a week.   Or, if you travel through...

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    I had the same issue with my iPhone 5 and Cleave Crystal bumper. I did a fairly easy DIY mod and replaced the Dita plug with a Furutech with 4mm stand-off that allows the plug to fit into the case/bumper. The Furutech plug quality is superb and I used copper/Silver content solder for my...

    Bicycle-Fi!

    My XC weapon of choice. The 120mm fork makes it a capable trail bike and I probably ride it on the edge of its designed use.

    Dita is my friend at work each day.

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    Just listening to mine now with some Disclosure Project (deep house). It's a little loud but not fatiguing in any way. Full of deep, bassy energy, sweet, full mids, and clear, airy highs all in a big and expansive sound filled sphere around me.

    I did this too while awaiting delivery of a new 3.5mm plug for my Ditas (I soldered a smaller profile one on to fit through my iPhone 5's Cleave bumper). I was Dita-less for about 5 weeks and had to revert to listening to my AU$32 Xiaomi Pistons (which are surprisingly good mind you).   I got...

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    A captive cable was a deal breaker at first for me too but then the more I thought about it and read reviews on various cables and the Ditas, the more I realised that I just wanted to listen to the music and not be fussed with trying different cables. In the past, I have lost sight of the music...

    Sennheiser Momentum impressions thread

    I've compared the MDR1 with the Momentums side by side. My preference was definitely for the momentums as they had just as much detail but were much more musical and engaging. The MDR1 gave me all the detail but it just didn't pull me into the music.

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    Yes, I agree and was quite surprised it happened. It also meant that I had to wait a few weeks to listen to my new IEMs again : (   On another note, and I hope this is not a damper too much, but the plug that Dita use really is nothing special. My new plug sounds the same (AFAICT) and costs...

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    Maybe I just got a dud. Overheating? I'd say no to that. I learned to solder properly when I was about 8 and have since gone on to mod many things like cd player op-amp boards and rebuild loudspeaker cross overs, etc, etc. It just got stuck inside the 3.5-6.3mm adaptor and when it finally...

    DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition).

    Just finished modding my Dita Answers with a new plug. I use an Apple iPhone 5 and have wrapped it in a Cleave Crystal bumper. The trouble with the bumper is that it is very deep around the headphone socket and the Dita plug simply wouldn't fit. I had to use a short cable adaptor but I wasn't...
