I picked up a couple AKG’s along my journey; Q701, K712 Pro, and I still have my pair of K612 Pro today! I sent them in to Tyll so that he could add them to his measurements database. I agree they’re pretty fantastic. They scale up really well with better gear upstream too… when I got my Cavalli...

...head also contributes to the luxe fit. Any way you slice it, the 701s coddle your head and ears. Because the K 701 is aimed not at the iPod generation but at AKG's studio market, the phones are terminated with a ¼" jack plug. Still, a substantial machined-metal ¼"-to-1/8" converter is...

...my DAP & IEMs when I’m cooking, taking the dog for a walk, or if I’m at the park with my kids. Even when I’m working I still prefer to use my DAP & IEMs so my computer is solely used for work and nothing more. I guess I never grew out of the iPod days and just upgraded once I discovered...

.../ BAL. outputs. Are there any DAPs that is a full FPGA system for their DAC? Would be nice to have firmware options that could add features at later dates. Bluetooth would be a nice feature, but I understand the choice with the N3U. The N3U on paper seems like a great iPod Classic replacement.

The current CEO places no value on design. He put an operations manager in charge of Apple’s design efforts and hired the guy who invented the E-Trade baby to put in charge of Apple’s ad campaigns. Design has been completely devalued at Apple and the result is these lifeless, featureless and...

No coincidence Apple's vanguard designs stopped when chief designer Jony Ive left the company in 2019. He was the leading design influence of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPod, MacBook and iOS. Just a minor player in the company ... :)

I need to do this to my 7th gen! Did you do the modifications yourself or sent it to someone?

recently revived ipod classic 6th gen 160gb slim with 4x 128gb micro sd and 3000 mAh battery with Zero reds EQed to proximity of Mega5EST kinda sound

Titan on R4 works pretty well; especially for something that small (that isn't a dongle connected to your phone) I don't have one yet but have tried and do intend to get one p.s. it also works pretty well for Helios and Singularity

Will get back to you on that (unless someone else tests first). My brother said he's getting the R4, I'll borrow it to test with the Titan.

Does anyone here have the hiby r4? How do you like it with the titan? I am thinking of getting my first dap (since the ipod classic) and seeing it on Chad's list as well as the price has made me curious :)

...with the gears I already have. It is pure none sense the experts don't even do their homework on what people already own and use. I consider the ipod shuffle the starting point of the very basic bottom of the barrel performance and feature as compared to recent releases. I know, it's too easy.

I like that alot alot!! Shes hot!!! my first love was a nano, have her and my touch, though they are retired.

Why thank you Neb, I also have a backup rig with me as well (of course old) :smirk: But sweet none the less:wink::v: Martin's Kickstarter Hybrid Tube Amp strapped to iPod Touch driving Meze Solo's cable with Xiaofan cable:beerchug:

This was measured using ipod touch which has 32 ohm output impedance, right? Was this caused by the damping factor? I don't hear the ringing.

hell good 2 or 300 dollar dongles are gonna kick this things ass full stop

Thank you. I'll check out the URL you provided.

Sorry to hear that friend, I use an ipod nano now and again and it can really be infuriating. I've never experienced my nano not booting but I've definitely had to reset it a few times when plugging it into a new pc (only wiping music if between 2 windows pc's) but if I want to use it with a...

Hmm, I'm in trouble. My PC environment is Windows 11. When I connected my iPod mini (1st gen) to the Apple device app on Windows 11 to change the environment for my iPod mini (1st gen) from Mac to Windows, a message appeared saying "Unsupported format. Please format." So I clicked OK to the...

There is always the M300 which has a slimmer profile and probably generates less heat also.
