Hi Head fi, my DX90 kicked the bucket, searched for another DAP with replaceable battery which are becoming increasingly rare. What DAP would you recommend that keep the DX90 sound signature (analytical)

My trusted DX90 usb connection has kicked the bucket. I can no longer get it to recognize on any pc. That + the fact that a 256 micro sd makes it horribly lag to the point of down right unusable has prompted a new DAP search. Been out of the loop for a while, what are the recommendation for...

After Getting some replies that re-shelling is a bad idea. Custom eartips is the way to go apparently. Has anyone used sensaphonics in the past? or any other vendor recommendations? Just found out etymotic has a custom eartip program as well, anyone have experience with them?

Hi head fi, Ive long preferred neutral sound, I went from HiFI RE2, to RE0, to etymotic mc-3, to ER4pt in IEM and on cans went from sennheiser to oppo pm3, to Mr. Speakers Aeon flow Closed. Currently I used the ER4pt at work, but truth be told, putting them in taking them out is slightly a...

Is there anyway to change the background color to a more darker one?

So after the Pleather on my PM3s started peeling and cracking, though I love the sound, i'm sorely dissapointed on this, i've got generic headphones with leather pads that are over 10+ years and still going strong. I love the oppo sound, just having to pay $39 each time the pads give up, is just...

As per the iFixit teardown: Apple/Cirrus Logic 338S00105 Audio IC Apple/Cirrus Logic 338S1285 Audio IC https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+6s+Teardown/48170 And more specifically, how does this translate to sound quality?

Maybe a long read, maybe a boring read perhaps, alas maybe someone gets pointed towards the right way because of it?       As long as I can remember, i've liked listening to music, be it through speakers, boomboxes and portable gear amongst the whole different ways to enjoy your favorite...

I was googling for reviews on iBasso and other players and came up with this:   http://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/iphone-6-plus.htm#comp     Basically, according to this guy, we should all be using iPhone and through our dedicated DAPs out the window!!!         And then of course theres...

Hey Fellow headfiers...   First and foremost, id like to thank ClieOS for bringing me into the IEM world and secondly to dbdynsty25 for selling me his DX90 overseas outside of CUSA and well, just going through that extra trouble!     I just received the dx90 from him and paired it with my...

So based on  cel4145   http://www.head-fi.org/t/766261/portable-amp-for-lg-g3-usb-out-suggestion-and-a-couple-of-questions#post_11599341   My DAP history:   Creative zen vision:m  (Still works, though borked usb connector won't allow me to put new music into it) iPhone 3Gs Creative Zen...

Hey all, fairly new to the head-fi scene... I used to have a creative zen vision:m which could drive my etymotic ER4PT galaxy s4, changed to lg g3.     The lg g3 drives the etymotic er4pt, but I find soundstage a bit lacking.  I have no set budget, I just want portability and battery...

So i've just busted my second pair of 3 flange tips (large) that came in box with my pair of Etymotic ER4PT's.  I've googled and found they sell replacement on amazon and in their own webpage:  ...

According to gsmarena.com  the HTC one has equal or better SQ than iPhone 4/4s which is what i've used as portable source, can't wait till someone here get's it and we get a decent audiophile review for it.    

Ok so after wondering why the hell I keep spending  <$100 on IEM I decided to up the budget to around $250 for new IEM.     See my connundrums here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/556721/phiaton-ps200-questions  ...

http://www.amazon.com/Phiaton-PS-200-Transducers-andTweeter/dp/tech-data/B001EUDUFC/ref=de_a_smtd     So about two years ago, I was looking for IEM... I eventually went  RE2, RE0, then completely changed to etymotic (because of head direct build quality and QC issues) and bought an MC5, so...

Hey all.   So basically here's my gear:   Sources iPhone 4                         - Main Creative xFi 2                  - Back  up Creative Zen Vision:M      - Back up 2 / leave in car hooked up   Cans 1. Etymotic MC5                      - Main 2. Senheisser...

Hey all, i've googled the hell out of "DIY foam plugs for IEM" and several variations on that and came up with zilch, the same with a forum search. Basically i'm just looking for a guide to make my own foam tips for my etymotic mc5, it doesn't have to be for etymotic just something that gives me...

  Just received my Etymotic MC 5s...   Coming from a long love-hate relationship with head-direct, love because sound is unbelieveable, Whilst quality control, durability, etc. is rather poor.  Brief history: Bought RE2s about a year ago, right side went completly mute, RMA'd, got a...

So lately i've been using a nokia e63 as my backup source, It has a HORRIBLE hiss with my RE2s. Would a cmoy like http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/fs...-m-3-a-436831/ that one eliminate the hiss?

Just thought I'd make another head direct appreciation thread. About a 3 weeks ago my right earphone stopped working. So I contacted head direct support (aka Fang Bian). He said just send them so I did. I asked if I could get cross-shipping, he politely said no All in all in 3 weeks time I...

So I just got RE2 as previous threads might point out... Anyway... What would be the correct way to roll up the cables without damaging them? Cause those cables are stiff as hell and I don't wanna ruin them for doing it wrong... Kinda silly question ... Also if you could includes...

Hi... Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. But I found Head fi looking for IEM to replace my sennheiser PMX200. And red Clios Review on the RE2 and comparative thread as well, so decided to get the RE2. Just recieved them yesterday, burned in for around, delivery was amazing...
