I'm wondering if it's a good idea to use my Icon Mobile's DAC between my Mac and my home stereo's Arcam reciever. The Arcam only has RCA stereo inputs. Does this mean it only accepts analog signals and therefore has no DAC? I tried it today vs directly from my mac's headphone output and it...

I downloaded a trial version and it definitely enhanced the sound. When I switch ed it off the difference made the unenhanced version sound dull for a bit. But the enhanced version after a few minutes sounded bothersome. After turning it off it only took about 30 seconds for me to adjust bac to...

I just stumbled upon a suite of products by a company called SRS. They sell software plugins and audio adaptors that enhance digital sound. Has anyone heard about this technology and is it worth taking seriously? SRS Labs - Surround Sound - Audio & Video Technology

I am loving my Icon Mobile with my Alessandro MS-1s. I've had it for about a week now and have 60-80 hours of use so far including burn in. It just keeps getting better and better!

Based on your reviews, Larry, I think I'll get me a pair of the NE-7Ms. Have you tried them with your Icon Mobile? My Icon Mobile is sounder better and better each morning with my Allie MS-1s after overnight burning in...

I wonder is there is a big difference in SQ between the NE-7 and NE-8. I do have an iphone so the speaker option on the NE-7 would be handy.

Larry, Thanks for the great review. I got my Icon Mobile amp yesterday and kept it running on the usb from my mac through itunes last night. It is starting to sound great with my Allesandro MS1s especially out of the USB of my computer! I'm waiting to order the LOD dock from Nuforce when it...

I'm looking at buying one of these as a IEM with sound isolating properties to use with my iphone/ipod shuffle. I like to run so fit is important. I've had probs with IEMs fitting in the past. (Shure and UEs) I listen to a wide variety of music from Classical and Jazz to rock and electronica...

I think I should find a different kind of work if I'm going to get more into this as a hobby. Like brain surgeon or something? Artist isn't gonna cut it for the needed cash! ;-)

I checked out the ALO site and saw the modded product offerings. They look cool. How much better does a modded ipod sound? Big diff?

Just got my MS1's last night. They sound fantastic on all kinds of music! The soundstage with symphonic classical may be a bit "narrow" but I'm hoping with some burn in it will improve. I must stay the detail is extraordinary! I can't wait until my NuForce Icon Mobile amp arrives to pair them...

Just ordered my Icon Mobile! It will come in time for me to enjoy them with my birthday present: Alessandro M1s!

Thanks King!

Please don't make fun of me for asking this but... Would I achieve optimal sound quality to do the following: iphone-->LOD-->Icon Mobile portable headphone amp-->Mini to RCA-->Arcam integrated amp-->JMLabs "bookshelf" speakers? Or would I leave out the Icon Mobile from the connection to...
