This thread is created to avoid derailing already-established threads. It also provides a platform for all who wish to talk about this subject.   I personally believe that BA can crank out a ton of details, but its naturalness and ease at producing music cannot reach that of a dynamic driver.

Curious to know how you guys protect your DAPs. Feel free to talk about your method (product) of protection if you wish to do so. There is no obligation to participate.   Also does anyone know where I can get fully custom leather cases made?   Thank you all very much!

I am going to make myself abundantly clear. Does the Clip+ have the pitch problem found in the regular Clip, or not?   Thank you all very much.

Zune HD? That's it?   Thank you all very much.

I might as well build my own cable for this IEM when I get it. Where can I get the connector pins? Are they the same as Ultimate Ears pins? I saw one guy shove his TF.10 cable into the ER-4.   Thank you all.

I strongly believe that below freezing temp is bad for electronics but around here, in winter, I still see people wearing Beats outside.

My recently acquired iRiver H340 is clipping the bass. On the heaviest bass, I hear "bzzzt-bzzzt-bzzzt", definitely clipping. There is nothing wrong with the music files since it does not clip on my computer nor on my audio recorder.   This happens both with and without Rockbox.   So...

Do you hear differences between Pailiccs, Neutrik, Rean, Canare, ViaBlue, Oyaide and Furutech? As in plugs?

Somewhere in this world the Clear version of these phones is being marketed as "PRO", at a different price with different accessories.

Maybe the title sounds like an essay. Quite not so. It's a question. Look at the flagships of the past. Qualia 010, SR-007 Mark II, R10, HE90... With headphone technology that we have now, what can still be improved upon? Lighter, stiffer diaphragms? Magnets with denser magnetic flux? More...

So basically my television has a Digital Audio In jack, and my receiver box has a Digital Audio Out jack. I have a bunch of unused "regular" RCA cables lying around. These RCA cables are intended to be used as analog interconnects. If I wish to exploit this digital audio function, would...

Hello all,   I believe it is about time to expand my music library. Right now I am having a hard time filling up eight gigabytes of storage (all 320K MP3). What I mean by "references" is that I will list some of the artists that I listen to (or specific albums or pieces), and I'd like to...

IMPORTANT NOTICE The EX1000 in my hands are purchased from the PRC. It is claimed to be the Hong Kong version, which is simply the Japanese version with Simplified Chinese in place of the Kana. However, there is a great chance that this is what they call "water goods", which is a product that...

Specifically the Rockbox 3.2 system.   I have a number of French and Spanish songs which have characters beyond the ASCII range (such as é and ñ). On my current PCM-D50 system (with the Japanese 1.01 main board), they either show up as a square or as Katakanas (for some reason).   These...

If so, what would be your opinion? If not, do you (maybe) plan on getting a copy? There is no obligation to respond.   Thank you very much.

Does anybody know what is happening in FL or CA? Here in Quebec we're getting seven dollar oranges. And it is increasing.   Thank you very much.

I'm starting to feel the aging effects on my Fuji. I currently operate a Fujifilm Finepix S 5500. I fully enjoy the broad range of controls in a bridge without going into the DSLR cameras. So I have two requests. One. Solidly built. I don't care about the country that built it as long as...

Thank you, ALO. Now I get this much: UPOCC stands for Ultra-pure Ohno Continuous Casting and FEP is Fluorinated ethylene propylene. So what is LUX?   Again, thank you very much.

Thank you for taking the steps towards decreasing unnecessary clicks by applying the proper currency. It would be even better if the "Will ship" option shows up along with the price, too.   Thank you very much.

The idea is to tie a piece of string from the radio to something solid on the watercraft. When the radio drops in water, I can retract that string and bring it back onto the watercraft while the entire device is not damaged.   Or do I just put a regular radio in many Ziploc bags?   Thank...

This problem hits IEMs with transparent cables only. After some time (shortest I've seen: one week) the internal wiring goes completely green and becomes more rigid than original. NOT MY PIC Why does this happen? Skin excretions penetrating the cable dielectric? IEMs as recent as the...

I have a question for all of you Pocket HiFi users here. If you use the coaxial digital-out function, are the two channels played backwards (left is right, right is left)? Thank you very much.

When I went to New York, one of my goals was to take a picture of a squad car with a shotgun in the cockpit. I found one empty squad car by Ground Zero without a shotgun in it. So there goes my question. I'd guess that only "some" of the cars would so is there a particular concentration?  ...
