I've been out of the game... Help. Please.
The last IEMs I bought were the brainwavz M3. I've been using them for years and years because, well, I like how they sound with foam tips. But, I thought I'd start looking because surely the tech has improved! Basically, a search for new IEMs has just utterly confused me. So, my question is...- akki007

Yuin PK1 > FiiO E3 > 3.5mm - 2.5mm > Nokia E71
Sounds suprisingly good! I didn't get the E71 for music at all and the quality through the stock buds is easily the worst I've heard, ever. But, today I thought I would give it a whirl with the above setup and it sounds suprisingly pleasant. I usually use the FiiO and PK1s with my 32gb touch...- akki007

For all you iPod Touch 2.0 users... Have you noticed a difference in the EQ presets? They appear to be less exaggerated.

Do DAPs "burn in"?
Sounds silly to me but do they? The reason I ask is that I bought an iPod touch a few weeks ago, at first it was distorting quite heavily on a lot of music, now, after a 100 or so hours use, it's stopped! Same cans etc. Or, are my cans adapting to the source? Something has happened to stop...- akki007
