Quote:  Team Asia, update : I received these last friday.I am last in the list ,I will return it to Head-direct in a week.

Quote: That's actually a very good setup.You'll have excelling tube rolling options with the little dot amp..IMO dt880 although quite neutral,you need a tube amp to tame its overall bright character and it also lacks mid range warmth.  

@staxx:    I was looking at this thread : http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/444712/the-sony-sa3000-appreciation-thread  

I dont think the sa3ks and sa5ks share the same driver.The sa5ks seem to have a problem with imaging and if your setup is transparant enough they are pretty good.

Location : India My portable gear : HM602-->CB-06-->d10-->RE262 All Iems I own - RE0,RE1,RE2,RE262,PL50.   The Iem box looks great Nankai.    

I hope they include a small coax cable inside the box.Oh my ibasso d10 will soon have a mate and I am so happy for it!

  I was expecting his usual reply "shipping this week",but I got something different this week - It says shipping next week

Quote: lol this appears to be like his final reply before they really ship it.Edwin's reply to my mails for the past two weeks has been consistent - "Shipping this week"  

Quote: When did you place your order? I ordered mine on 2/15.Edwin simply told me "NFB-3 order is really too much" and I'll have to wait!

Quote: Not all cowons are bad,I find spdif out on my cowon q5 to be pretty decent and btw my nfb-3 will be here mostly next week,I'm excited!

Hi Mp4nation, thanks for the opportunity to win!

It's stringed instruments for me . Sarod  - the way akg's reproduce this instrument is just awesome. Acoustic guitars

Quote:   Unfortunately I've a couple of albums encoded in WMA lossless.I've no issue if it is not supporting it but, may be it it could display "unsupported format" rather than just hanging.  

I think it doesn't support wma lossless.Every time I play a song encoded in wma lossless my unit simply becomes unresponsive.

Quote: I've a different story - I got a tracking # on 25th but I was told on the same day that my order is scheduled to be shipped next week (Nov).

don't worry about it.The content in the opening post is related to pre-order batch 1.You'll get a free iem even now.

Quote: Impossible why?

Quote:   They are not really popular headphones here.If you could find them for about $30 they are not bad.You are not even buying something of the same quality,the senns are better. Search for ES7's if you're looking for an upgrade.    

  Quote:   Ok I've never heard the ad700s but people often compare them to hd555's which I think are not even in the same class as the shures..So are the ad700 s really that good??   @JayB18  have you ever owned the shures? they are not there in your signature.

so the cord goes over your ear?   Quote:

Wow finally some one got it!!   Can you post a pic of those mystery IEMS? Quote:

are they really 700$ headphones

  So what's your primary source now? You'll have to eventually buy a dac/amp if you are looking at hp's like dt990 and above,why not do it first!
