Quote: Hey Br777, glad you enjoyed your es :) Do share with us how you eq your es5!!  

  Just a thought: why do we need an extra box just to get digital signal out of the idevice? I wonder, with airplay, can the idevice just stream digital to whatever portable dac/amp? For example, the JH-3A box has a DAC and an amp, so if it is airplay compatible, you can keep your unwieldy...

question: why cant the DAP feed digital signal to JH-3A wirelessly via bluetooth? The JH-3A will then be much more portable cos it wont need to be attached to the player all the time (can be put in your bag). THAT will seal the deal for me

yep, the red looks good when you view the earpieces as they are, but to me, when people wear red earpieces they make the ears look like they're bleeding. Green, orange and yellow looks like weird stuff (for e.g wax) coming out of the ears, clear and flesh color look like hearing aids. For me...

to add further into the discussion, is the ttvj shielded against rf signals? I've heard that the rx isnt and that it goes berserk when used with an iphone. I'm an iphone user myself, so it is a very important criterion in choosing my new next gen portable amp. if it is, then i'm sold

ok let me be the first to give any weakness. I've owned the shure SE530 for half a year, and been listening and loving their sound straight from an iPhone 3GS unamped. Yesterday, I tried the JH-13 pro demo units. Everything is OMG What superb, but man, the bass is damn big. It may be becos...

hmm those look really good. One last thing: those cables look pretty shady. Do they degrade the sound quality?

Had both IEMs. Sold the UM3X. SE530 sounds much more natural to these ears. And yes, they do jazz, pop and classical wonderfully

Hi headfiers! Can the PTH unit be used as an inline mic for the iPhone? That's the only thing lacking from the SE530 for me, an inline mic. If it cant, is there any other inline accessories that can function as a mic? Thanks!

Yo!!! Just came back from trying both phones out. Listened to them both for over 1 hour. I'll be honest. I've only used the apple earbuds and have never owned an IEM. My ears arent so discerning. But here's my impressions from today: SE530 is a tiny little bit more clear. I dont mean the lead...

so... the general consensus is that the SE530 is relatively more neutral and laid-back, while the W3 enhances the lows and highs, which people may or may not like?

Yo guys!!! For those who have listened to both, just a quick show of hands, who prefer the Westone 3 True fit and who prefer the Shure SE530?

lol sorry wrong place

Sony Portable Audio NWZ-X1060 - Sonystyle.com.hk found this... look at the audio codecs support does this mean it supports .wav lossless? .wav files are huge though... damn sony... it's great that they get the big things right (e.g SQ) but they neglect so many small things (e.g...

correct me if i'm wrong, but did sony just 'forgot' to put support for lossless audio AGAIN??? c'mon, FLAC is free, how hard is it to put FLAC support? and sony players always sound so nice too... if only they can play lossless files... sigh...

did u guys see the specs of x1000? correct me if I'm wrong, but did Sony somehow forgot to include support for lossless audio AGAIN?

hi all I'm gonna buy a new player n I've got some questions to about players' sound quality. 1. Why does one player sound better than another? Is it ONLY because they have better built-in headphone amp, or some other factor? 2. If yes, then if I use an LOD adaptor like the ZY cable...
