I see where you're coming from but afaik you can use LOD wire to get line out signal from any iPod. Same with the S:flo2 that has dedicated line-out output.

OMG, I completly forgot about this thread tbh :P. Well basically I'm kind of going to buy it step by step, firstly the DAP and the AMP and then headphones. I'll do it this way because once I got my source I Can go to any shop and listen to any headphones and see which ones I like most. I had a...

What headphones do you have now?Telling that would let us give you an advice.

Hi, I've recently decided that my portable rig needs upgrade. Basically I have an iPhone 3g but it will be kinda ultraportable because 8gb isn't enough so i need a decent portable rig that i will cary wherever I have my bagpack with me. I'm gonna need a 40gb+ HDD space. In this case the...

I've got 2 favourite ones; Iphone 3g for good SQ and that it's also a phone :P Ipod Video 30gb because of i can fit a lot of music on it but it's quite big.

Iphone 3g/Ipod Video+ Akg k518DJ but i think they're gonna get replaced by Nuforce Ne-7m

Click this website has different hard drives for Ipods in alright prices.

You can put up to 240gb if I'm correct but it will be quite expanisve. As a compromise you could go for 120gb, I think it is enough for most people.

Is there a big sq difference between fiio and Ipod's hp out?

Well yea, but i meant Ipod Video.Its soundsignature is quite cold afaik. I'm also still thinking about the portable headphones. I found out that Grado Sr60 pair quite well with Ipod Video. Is there anything better for this sort of price?

Yea i know they are but is it going to sound fine? I mean Ipods are meant to be quite "cold" players and if those headphones are also "cold" then the sound will be poor. Matt

Thanks for those replies guys, i'm wondering if M6 would sound well if plugged to Ipod Video/iTouch?

Hi, anybody compared M6 and ADDIEM and can share their opinion with me?

I've never heard of those Meelec IEM's headphones before but i gotta say it; they look really nice. Would i be able to put Comply Foams on them? Do you recon they would fit Ipod Video? I love the clear version's looks, they look a bit like custom IEMs. Are there any differences between M6, M9...

Well, i knew Koss Portapro are good headphones however i'm not sure if i visually like them and that's really important for me. My sound preference is; i like quite balanced sound, not too bassy however i think for rock music you need some bass. I like lively sound so that i feel like i'm there...

Hi, i'm looking for 2 sets of headphones; earphones/ IEMS and portable headphones. Basically i currently own SoundMagic PL30 and Shure Srh440. I wanna change because i like buying a new stuff but also the sound of Shure is a bit too boring and they are too big for portable headphones i...

You can always buy a new battery however it won't last longer than 10-12hrs anyway i guess. IMHO Ipod Video is the best option.

Archos players are meant to be quite decent and if you don't mind buying used units then Iriver H3x0, iHP1x0, iAudio X5 and that's it really.

Hi, as i don't have any time to listen to music at home therefore i'm mostly using my portable rig; iTouch 2gen+Soundmagic pl30. Well it's not too bad however the player has only 8gb of the memory. That's not enough for me lately because i decided i wanna have all my music in my pocket. 30gb...

Today a friend of mine recommended me a Ibasso D2+ or a higher version if i got enough money. What do you guys think about it?To me it's got a huge advantage, i can either use dac+ amp or use them separately. I can also roll the op-amps to adjust the sound to my preferences. The other good thing...

Do you wanna a bundle or you prefer to set it up yourself. If i was you i would rather go for the second option because you can buy something exacltly for what you need. What's your budget, that's the most important question?

I know, it supports flac but i got an Ipod so i would have to convert all my music and that is a bit pointless. I'm gonna be looking for a Zero Dac and if i don't find any then i'm going to consider DIY.

It looks quite impressive i gotta say but i'm used to iTunes :P. Is using of WASAPI ect. really noticable and worth it?

I know, that's what i'm looking for and there's also a chance to get it quite cheap once buying used unit. However they released new version with usb in 2009, so not long ago and there aren't many 2009 versions for sale. I need usb input because i'm willing to use my laptop as a source. I...

Well, i thought so but i'm still considering some cheap diy project such as Alien or something. I'm not an audiophile, i just like good quality music.
