  All of my files are FLAC and 320kbps MP3, maybe i need more time to be accustomed to the sound signature between the DX80 and the etys. What make me curious, the sssss doesn't show up when i play the files in my PC. I don't have any equipment attached to my PC though +.+

ok its called sibilance thank you. Maybe its the headphone, the sssss is not as prevalent when i am using the ER4PT rather than the ER4S. 

Got this new baby today, very amazing indeed! however, do you guys sense there is a lot of hiss? ( i think its what its called, like the extra, often extended "csssssss" on the cymbal) i am using ER4PT/S. do you guys experience something similar?

  Thanx Sandalaudio, still trying to look for my first DAP, will definitely look into this one.

Thanx H20, Does it sound well when matched with the ER4/S? how does it compare to FiiO X3II?

Hi guys, just wondering if the DX80 works well with etymotic ER4/S? i read that it can drive up to 600 ohm somewhere but i am not 100% certain. Anybody can clarify on this? will it be a good pairing? thanks

Thanx a lot h20, it's time for me to go out there and try each of your recommendation, hopefully i will get one soon :)

  Yeah, i got what you mean :). Now i just need a good player. I have seen you prefer the Colorfly C4 with the ER4PT. I know sometimes quality can't be separated from price, but do you have similar alternative that probably cost less? Now i have good IEM i can bring quality music on the go.

Good my ER4PT today,   Clearly the cleanest sound of IEM that I have ever use (the list is not long). Adequate bass, clear mid and high, it seems I can hear every single instrument and in acoustic music it seems I can even feel how the guitar is played, amazing IEM   To my not-so audiophile...

I am noticing that asian (Korean and Chinese) solo singer with unique voice tend to have more emphasis in their recording style (overshadowing the instruments). As a result, they always seems to sing very close to the mic. Do anyone notice this or is it just my head playing tricks on me? I...

I read a lot of earphones to replace my too-bassy Yamaha M200, my research eventually lead me to buy one of ER4PT! Thanks to this thread particularly, i can't wait to try my ER4PT, which will arrive in two-three days. i hope they are suited to my mostly pop and rock collections.

at last i buy my rca adapter! but something weird happen... how come the volume is louder without the m-stage? did i do something wrong? +.+

Hi guys, this is my first time buying an amp, which is the m-stage! All seems solid and cool and awesome! just one problem though.... ..... I don't know how to plug it in to my xonar d2x... Should it be using the spdif out? The red and white rca cable? It doesn't give anything beside static...

thanx for the answer! learn a lot about relation between those two! . still need to learn many things about amplifier and what it actually do but i will get there..... eventually 

Quote: about 3 days. i hope nothing happen to the driver. for safety precaution i'll just use my onboard sound card before any experienced user here can say its ok to plug in it again to my D2X....

yeah its definitely not from my headphone, tried it. its coming from my asus D2X soundcard. if i keep it plugged in to the sound card, will it break my headphone? thats my better DAC as from now before i move in to buy others

ummm no+.+ the static gone if i stop the music for like 10 sec then its gone but for the pause between songs its "zzzzzzzrtttttttt" which is really annoying 

Quote: ahhh i understand now, but in theory say one amp that could drive perfectly low and high impedance headphone. will the sound signature from the amp present perfectly on both headphone? i'm just talking about the sound signature of the amp though. or its impossible because it really...

being out of topic here, if there's a static noise with my HD650, is that normal? it usually there when i play the music, reduce the volume to zero then there's the static, if i pause the music the static stop then gradually come back. i suspect it must be something to do with my PC giving...

Quote:   Quote: so if we're talking about high impedance high sensitivity and low impedance high sensitivity or mix of it, if i understand correctly, its the signature of the sound that will be affected(such as bass treble, etc) not the actual improvement even if driven from the same...

after reading difference between low and high impedance, i still didn't get clear of some things in my mind so i'll just ask anyway when you use amplifier, say that can drive up to 600 ohm, with low impedance headphone will the difference is as big as the one with high impedance? or its just...

hi, do anyone here actually in the audio business? want to get some experiences in the management of audio business if anyone care to share:) maybe this thread will be useful in helping fellow head-fi member to turn their hobby into personal income too

yeah it'll be lovely to audition the headset with pair of many combination since i see many recommendation i really hope we could just waltz into some store and get a honest professional advice without them bugging me to buy the most expensive one.   Quote:       and don't throw me...
