Fiio L19 cable was much cheaper and I have no movement issues

What if we were all using sure se846? Then what? :rolling_eyes: As suggested, read all the hundreds of reviews on headfi and take note to those that compare sound signatures to your 846s... but in the end, there's no substitution for trying them out before you buy. Even if you did know what iems...

Sony XBA-Z5, a very musical pairing with the mojo. Fun punchy bass, detailed trebs without being fatiguing. Definitely Wow factor for me. I compared against the 846 and I wasn't impressed with them either but that's just my preference for a bassier darker sound signature

What effect does a high quality transport cable have if the mojo is doing all the audio processing and amplification?

What pads are you using here?

Are you ABX blind testing for your comparison? Or could it be placebo effect?

Well I was originally planning on some 1/8" wood screws so this seems like a better idea :)

Can anyone confirm if this still works with the mojo?   http://world.taobao.com/item/44240667193.htm?fromSite=main    

What do you think will sound better: DX80. Or iPhone6 paired with an Oppo HA-2?

I fully agree. I have the xba-zx5 and these are the perfect compliment.... Now I just need a dap or dac/amp for my iphone.

Has anyone replaced the pads yet? These are comfy but I find not as roomy as I'd like for my ears.   Would the lawton angled pads work well?   http://www.lawtonaudio.com/denonanglepads.html

Mine is still sitting in NJ too... it's gotta get to Canada post and then out west to Vancouver so I don't think I'll get it before Xmas either :(

Nice shot I like the depth of field but the rest of us are (most likely) using sRGB colorspace so AdobeRGB may not look accurate on our screens. I find sRGB works better for the masses

Also, while we are talking about dac/amps do you think the Oppo ha-2 will be a good solution? Also ising with a Sony XBA-Z5

When I was asking for a mobile dac/amp to run these someone suggested the Sony PHA-3 but is it possible to upgrade the cable and make these balanced output?

Thanks for the suggestions JoeDoe.    I'm really interested in learning more about highres music. Would be interested to know what the conditions were for you when you determined you could tell the difference between MP3 and FLAC. Did you downsample a FLAC file to MP3 and do ABX blind testing...

I'm really skeptical on the lossless vs lossy files. it's been shown that in ABX testing you can't really tell the difference.   Real difference is in how the master recordings were made and engineered   I'm looking for amp dac recommendations that have a tangible effect on how the digital...

Bump.. any more thoughts?

You say this however I've had first hand experience with the AKJr Review unit not being USB 3.0 Compatible on a Macbook Pro.

how big are the Seattle meets? Worth traveling down fro Vancouver for?

Hey guys, can anyone make a portable DAC/AMP recommendation? Sources: iphone6 & macbook pro. Headphones and IEM: Fostex TH-X00 and Sony XBA-Z5. Main requirements: portability, direct line in (lighting port) on the iphone 6 (preferably without needing to use a CCK), and of course enough sound...

Just picked up a Sony XBA-A3 and I want to know if it will benefit from the Aegis or Astrapi. I usually listen at high volumes and I find I get close to max on my iPhone 6+ I'm not looking to change the sound signature drastically. I'm just looking to use the a3's to their full potential while...

That's what I'm hearing.... I just ordered the Audiotechnica ath-im70 and I'm also considering the vsonic GR07 and GR07be
