Unit #4 arrived at my house yesterday afternoon. Thank you very much. I'll enjoy my week with them and then send them on to the next user in the list.

I haven't yet heard any Fiio products, but I look forward to doing just that one of these days. You're products look great. Thank you for this contest!

I'm interested in participating in this loaner program. I agree to the terms and conditions. Thank you!

I'm so bummed I couldn't attend this event. And it was close to me too! Is there any appetite for having these on a Sunday? My Saturdays are generally too busy and I'd love to attend one. Looks like a good time. Thanks

I'm guessing he meant an external dac as opposed to the one built into the source device.

Someone who only has £700? Anyway, I see where you're coming from and appreciate your view.

I know it and I completely agree with it. I just wanted to point out that it's not absolute. :D It becomes extra sad when there are a lot of folks who love their HD650 or whatever, but head-fi messed with their head because they read 'dozens or hundreds of times' that they had to have an...

  This is the kind of oft-repeated head-fi-ism that is not absolute. It is sometimes true, and sometimes not true. It depends on the particular computer and its hardware sound configuration.     That totally depends on the implementation of the dac inside the PC. ...Just sayin' ;)   I'm...

Ha ha, nice! :)

Well, nobody can tell you what sounds good to you, so you correctly need an additional device to drive them properly in a way that appeals to you. It isn't nonsense though. I've used my HD650 with iPhones, iPads, Microsoft Surfaces, Dell workstations, HP workstations, a 20 year-old A/V receiver...

I recently entered the HD650 camp after years of using other cans including the HD555. I was nervous about a number of items because of what I read here at head-fi. Statements such as (I'm paraphrasing): The HD650 are 300ohms, so you won't get any sound out of an iPhone. If you manage to get...

Here is a shot that I took this past summer. I am particularly pleased how the foliage came out!

Here's one that I scanned from a comic book if you're into that sort of thing (I am). I tweaked it a bit and added the full artist and copyright info. Click on the image for the full size 1680x1050 version:

I mountain bike on a very regular basis, and in my experience, you do NOT want to be totally isolated from the environment. The audio cues fed into your brain help out the rider much more than one would realize, and being totally isolated doesn't bode well for people needing to pass, be passed...

Not bad for your first post!!! So what you're saying is, that with the correct resistor, I could reduce the hiss and have a higher quality headphone out than the stock headphone jack on the front of the receiver, correct?

DigitalMind-This picture is so awesome! The composition is fantastic! I love this shot!

Some nice photos in this thread! Here is my car as it usually appears in nice weather: And here is a picture after I purchased some new wheels:

Hey elmer dudd, that is some funny stuffs you posted there! I like the part about the snakes the best! and about the jogging comment, I jog with my receiver all of the time. It's not that cumbersome, although I get strange looks when people see the 10,000 foot orange extension cord leading to...

Wow. Just wow! The photography in this thread is so awesome that I'm wetting my pants! I don't come to anyones toes in photography in this thread, but here's some of my shots anyway. Enjoy!

I've got all kinds of artsy stuff that I've been doing over the years. Here is an example that I happen to have handy. -one of my doodles on those note pads they give out at long boring company meetings:

Hi there, I hope some of my post here will help you. I am an artist as well and have been drawing all my life. I spent summers upon summers as the "camp artist" during high school doing banners and large murals, etc. I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and I finally made it through...
