I personally don't see myself moving to a high end amp or DAC. I prefer solid state amps as I dislike the idea of changing the sound with tubes. I don't understand the point of a high end DAC as all it does is urn 1s and 0s into a signal.    I'm definitely looking into the M-Stage HPA-2 or...

I've just come back from my local Hi-Fi store today after hearing a range of Sennheisers. I got to have a solid 1 hour sessions between the HD600s, 650s, 700s and 800s.   I spent a good bit of time with the 600s when I went in and listened to a few tracks running through a Rotel amp (I'm...

Thanks for the replies, I understand that this can be a long process and it's not worth cutting corners.   I am curious about my order with the recent changes being made. Will I receive the BA4F's with the standard connector or will it arrive with the newer connector? I'm also curious will my...

Has anyone been able to contact Phil in the past few days? I've been looking for an update on my BA4 order as its been on "impression detailing" for over a week now and it doesn't look like it's going to make the quoted 2-3 week production time. For people who've already had their CIEMs sent...

Just pulled the trigger on some BA4Fs!    Phil has been great with support and fielding any questions I've had, I can't recommend him enough.    I'll be sure to keep this thread updated on the process if any of you are interested.

  I'm just wanting to make sure I'm not damaging my hearing at all but having it at 200. I'm unsure how you can listen to it at 60-90, that's incredibly quiet on L gain from what I can hear.

What kind of volumes are most people running their DX50s at?   I have some Shure SE215s and I mainly use mine for my daily commute to/from work.    I have my gain set to Low and I usually go from 180-200 (200 when on the bus and 180 when walking)   What is everyone else using?

I was looking at the BA3 which is 410 with my customisations and the BA4 is 482 with my customisations. Do you think it'd be worth the upgrade?

Even if I'd need a refit it'd still be cheaper than going for other similar spec'd/quality companies that are near me.   I think considering the great Customer Support I've had from Phil too, I'd rather support CE as well. 

It's $50 for the impressions and I'd plan on sending them express. From Australia to Sweden it can get a bit expensive to ship and I usually overestimate, just in case it'd need to be sent back etc.

I'm really looking closely at Cosmic ears as they seem to have a great lineup with good build quality but I'm having some trouble deciding between the BA2 and BA3.   With a few little personal customisations these would come out to $288 and $410, respectively. These prices are not including...

Hey Head-Fi   I'm 19 and currently looking at investing in some Custom IEMs   I'm really looking closely at Cosmic ears as they have a great lineup with good build quality but I'm having some trouble deciding between the BA2 and BA3. With a few little personal customisations these would come...

  It was free Fedex Priority shipping, so $0!

Crap.

I ordered from MP4Nation and they advised it was from the latest batch so I'd assume I've got the a 12th. Is there any way for me to check?

That's pretty much addressed all of my concerns! I'm also glad that iBasso are continuing support for their devices. Lots of companies seem to release and don't bother to support them.   Now that that's out of the way it's just a matter of time for me to settle into using it as I have come...

I've just received my iBasso DX50 in the mail today and my first impression overall is that htis is a fantastic DAP all-round.   I do have some questions though and if anyone is able clarify fro me that would be fantastic!   1) I find that when pausing songs it can take a while to pause...

Thanks for all of the feedback and shortly after writing up this thread I ended up going with the DX50.   I got this deal from MP4Nation, and now we play the waiting game for it to ship!   I'm excited to hear it and also to get my full music collection onto one device!

Looking for a new DAP!   I currently have a 4th gen iPod Nano with 8gb of storage but it's just not enough anymore and hasn't been for a long time.    I'm looking to get something that either has a good amount of storage, which all of these players do (in the case of the Dx50 and X3, I'd...

The only others I really considered were the E10 and the E17. But spec wise the E07K is almost identical to the E17 and far cheaper.

I recently purchased the E07K for my BeyerDynamic DT770 80 Ohms as I have been previously driving them from the front I/O port on my PC and my iPod. After using the E07K I instantly noticed that the audio was "cleaner" and the bass cleared itself up very well.   Here's a few pictures:  ...

Probably not at all necessary as I'd barely ever use it portably, it's going to be used as a desktop amp 95% of the time and I'd rather have 1 device for all purposes.       Quote: Yeah that's what I was thinking, E17 it is! Thank you for the advice!

I'm on a desktop PC. Another user on Reddit suggested I save another $30 or so and go for the E17 which seems to fufill the desktop and portable aspects as well as being a very good amp/DAC, is this true?   If so I'll probably go with the E17 and is there any use in getting a Xonar DG and...

I'm currently looking at the E10 or E11. I will be listening at my desktop on my DT770s.   Also if a portable amp is recommended then I'll probably also use it for my iPod Nano 4G/Philips SHE3580s. However, this is by no means necessary and I don't explicitly need a portable amp, a desktop...

Look what I got in the mail today!   These sound incredible for the price I paid ($12.95AUD). I definitely recommend them!     EDIT: I have changed the tips that came with them to some Sony tips (Green stem tips if you know what I mean). and now they're much more comfortable and the...
