Thanks for the tips, checking it all out now. Still open to suggestions

looking for some new music, all my old stuff(that I love) is getting rather old. I enjoy the majority of ELO, most of MJ's stuff, U2, Floyd, Doors, The Who but I'm looking mainly for upbeat music. More along the lines of ELO, MJ, The Who kind of thing. I'd go listen to some new bands for...

I received my hotaudio usb dac today. Fast shipping, great prices, greater products and wonderful tech support. Thought there was something wrong with my dac, sent them a few e-mails, and it's working amazing now. Works great with my hd-595s' as well, I would definitely go with them.

Just a little update, it's working wonderfully now. I ended up e-mail hotaudio.com support(believe it or not, he mentioned my thread here. Shows you how into the community hotaudio.com is). 4 or 5 e-mails later they had my DAC up a running at peak performance. Great product, great support...

Just got a hotaudio bit perfect dac in today, and have been running my p3 off it with one problem. There's this annoying hiss that's foolishly annoying when I turn up the volume at all. The volume also wont go up to high with the dac volume maxed, foobar volume maxed and the amp volume maxed...

Thanks, one more question if I can. Is there any kind of free program for finding album art for multiple albums? The few albums I'm after downloading off torrent sites always seem to have the album art displayed, yet the albums I buy never do. There must be something out there. Thanks again.

Wondering if and how you can get album art into the cowon s9. I've searched and found nothing, but I know it's got to be possible due to the new firmware update. Anyone have an idea of how? Thanks.

Still looking. I would have thrown 200 at the ultrasones' but I can't find a reliable source with them at <$200. I also took a good look at the d2000(no isolation), D770s'(overall just bad reviews/opposite sound signature that I'm looking for), K271s(neutral reviews and bad signature). I've also...

Does anyone know any cheap places to buy these that ships to Canada(aside from Amazon)? Forgive me if anything has already been mentioned, but I can be bothered to go through 144 pages. Thanks.

Thanks for all the helpful advice! I'm after reading a lot of reviews and as of right now the HFI-780s' are looking better than everything else with the DT-770s' in second. The portability and how it doesn't "need" an amp seems to have me sold. Still open for suggestions though. Thanks again!

Thanks for the recommendation. The only problem is I cannot find them anywhere online for<$200. Or anywhere near 200 that ships to canada. Any hints to where I might find a reliable seller with a decent price?

Thanks a bunch OP. Brought mine back with a receipt and they refunded my $80!. So I've got 6 new cds and and 20 dollar gift card in my pocket.

Looking for a new set of cans. Requirements are.. -<$200 hopefully -Closed Would definitely prefer something with a "Beat's by Dre" kind of signature. The only 2 decent cans I've been able to listen to are my hd595's and beats by dre(and turbines). And contrary to popular belief I enjoy...

Thanks a bunch, will definitely check them out.

I'm assuming this is what I'm looking for at least. As of right now I'm either running my Hd595's off my cowon s9 or off my pc. I bought a ibasso p3 some time ago and find no use for it. Connected to both my pc and s9 I don't notice much difference in sq, then I read that a DAC would almost be...

Tool - The pot The Who - In Tune love it

Beetles - A hard days night Radiohead - ok computer Radiohead - kid A Beetles - With the beetles Tool - 10 000 days

Whenever amping my s9 with the volume on the dap max out it produces this odd crackle when the bass goes deep. Yet when I lower the volume on the dap and boost the volume on the amp the crackle is reduced. I've always assumed(from reading on head-fi) that the best way to amp a dap is to turn the...

I've been waiting for 2 week for my local Futureshop to get Turbines in. No luck so far.. Thanks for the heads up though. I get another excuse to go down and hassle the employees.
