I have recently purchased a 2 year old iBasso D10 from another person, and is confused about the op amps choices.    The op-amp currently in the D10 is the AD8532.   In the kit, i can see 2 AD8656, 1 AD8532, 1 AD8541 and 2 others whose lettering have faded away and i cannot make out what...

1) I am not satisfied with the default foobar2000 tagging features. I currently use mp3tag for tagging, but would like to cut down 1 more program in my laptop. Is there any components that offer good self-tagging features? Especially important would be album art.   2) Are there any good...

I have finally setup foobar2000 to do almost everything i need, with one exception. I currently using mediamonkey to sync with my clip+ and do on the fly transcoding to the MP3 format. Can i setup foobar to do this?

How do the old versions of the albums Static Prevail and Clarity compare to their recent remasters?

I was planning a future home rig consisting of a Yulong D100 -> Beta22 -> LCD2. However, i was thinking of the advantages that going for custom IEM's can bring me, which is being able to use the IEM's on the go as well.    My question is, can the top of the line customs, such as the the UM...

I'm considering buying either one of these amplifiers in the future. For the people who heard both, which do you prefer? Headphones that i'm pairing them with would be the HD650, and possibly the HP-2 or RS1i in the future.

I want to eventually build up a collection of vintage, out of production headphones. However i have NO IDEA where to start. It would be nice if people can list their opinions on what are worthy out of production headphones. If people think it would be helpful, i will update the list on this...

I recently got my hands on the Meelectronics M11+ IEM's, and i decided to do a mini review of these amazing IEM's. Retailing for $64.99, it is Meelectronics top of the line(for the moment, new models will be released soon) model.   Build Quality:   It appears to be quite solid, and able...

I am planning my future home rig based around the HD650 that i will be putting together over the next few years(student's budget here). I have (almost) decided on getting the Yulong D100 DAC to go with the HD650 balanced. What i am not very sure of is the amp. I have been looking at a balanced...

Having read through both threads dedicated to the MS1000i, i have not found much actual sound impressions other than descriptions of the wide soundstage. Can a owner actually describe the sound in detail for me? Would be good with impressions on how well they do with the pop punk genre and...

I can't seem to find much reviews on Grado's. I am looking at 1) SR-125 $260 2) SR-225i $350 3) MS1000i $250   All prices in SGD.   Can someone describe to me the sonic characteristics of each? Do any of these headphones require an amp to sound good? Music preferences lean to rock...

I am on the verge of purchasing a balanced AKG K701. What is the cheapest balanced source i can get for my AKGs?

I'm gonna shoot for a DAC by the end of this year, and have shortlisted a few.   1) NuForce uDAC2 - S$185 2) Audinst HUD mx-1 - S$190 3) Used Zero DAC - <S$100   How do these compare against each other? How do these compare with the RSA Predator which is much more expensive(I'll be...

I am going to borrow a RSA Predator from my friend to test out. I would like to get some opinions on how it compares with the Audinst HUD mx1, Nuforce uDAC2 and Zero DAC. I want to get an idea of how much an improvement i will be getting if i purchase a DAC/amp. Thanks.

Could someone post a photo of a UM3X and a custom IEM side by side? I know that custom's size vary from person to person, but i would like to get an idea how large customs are. Thanks

I just saw on the westone page about their new musician monitor AC2, to be released on the 1 nov. What do you guys think the difference would be when compared with the ES2? The specs seem exactly the same.

Do you think its possible to squeeze anything more than 3 drivers in a tiny universal IEM in the foreseeable future?

Searched around but can't find much info on these. Any impressions on the sound?

I found this AKG K701 advertised as balanced with 4pin xlr. What does it mean? What advantages does it offer over a standard K701?

I have several questions related to the AKG line of headphones.   1) What is the primary difference between the AKG K701 and K702?   2) Are they comfortable?   3) What is their sound signature like?   4) How do they compare directly to the Ultimate Ear's Triple.Fi 10s?

I had decided to get my TF10s remolded. But now, i'm quite unsure. Heres the situation:   Remolded TF10 cost: SGD$625(includes cost of buying tf10s), without ear impressions   JH 5pro: SGD$819 including ear impressions.   which should i go for? I really LOVE my TF10's sound signature...

Let me start with what i already have and will be getting. I currently own a triple.fi 10 pro IEM, which was my first real *audiophile* grade IEM, before that i was using a pair of metro.fi 170. I really love the sound of my tf10, and will be sending them in for remolds soon. i also have a set...

I have read about how FLAC files drain the batteries of DAPs faster. Does 320CBR mp3 and V0 mp3 offer a significantly different battery life?

Not sure where to post this, so i think this might be the best place. I know of the importance of keeping the ear canals clean when wearing IEM's. But just how do i do this?

I just bought my pair of used TF10s and the upgrade bug has bitten me again.    So for my next set of IEM purchase, i will be going for a custom IEM.   The 3 options i'm considering so far is this.   1) Remold the TF10s into a 6 driver custom. $620 not including artwork.   2) UM...
