never heard anything like it, with drum and bass its like being at a club, which i havn't been lately. i keep checking to see if there is someone coming in the room. the cans are neutral, and the bass seems like it swamps and overrides the midrange, however it dosn't. the midrange is pretty...

Considering this amp to use with the D7000, however am wondering if the V-DAC by Musical Fidelity is suitable.

If the built in DAC in this headphone amp is crappy, can I take the output from an MF VDAC and put it through the amp?

am considering the graham slee solo, novo and the MF X-Can v8P. These all appropriate?

Which one do you think I should get? I listen to music such as rock, pop, electronic, drum and bass. I like the live look of the HA-DX1000. Not sure on the cups of the D7000, if they pick up dings and scratches from normal use, as they are gloss. Can the DX-1000 be used on all types of music...

i plan to ask for an MF V-DAC for christmas. my question, is it not worth upsampling mp3's below 256kb, because of the artificial frequency multiplier and the re-timing issues of the source. for example it will remove the sloshing sound on low bitrate mp3's at the expense of warmth? i'm hoping...

how long is the j cable for each channel? does it pull on the right ear when you turn to the left? will definately get this IEM providing the J cable is long. i was interesed in the shure SE530 and variants, however there are big problems with build quality as testified on here. when one pays...

is this track a good test for high end headphones? YouTube - Counterstrike - Fear Generation are high end headphones up to this without distorting so you can keep the volume lower?

now forgive ignorance here, however I need this resolved. providing a DAP/PMP provides 37 mW of sound into a headphone, if I buy a portable amp which outputs 20 mW, will I now have a maximum of 57 mW per channel to use? this is using a headphone out, as the D2(+) does not have a lineout.

what is the potential of this headphone for fast music such as drum and bass, when combined with a powerful DAP like the D2 and a powerful headphone amp like the SR71. Is the bass light and muddy sound cured? or is the Denon AH-D7000 better and more neutral in this respect.

what are the dimensions of this amp? i wish to make sure I can pocket it, though it will feel large. is it smaller or same size as the graham slee voyager?

forgive ignorance, however i suspect it is not. how do i upgrade the firmware? there is nothing in the bundled user guide or the cowon website. i have the .bin files and need to know the process for flashing it.

I have been doing extensive reading of their page. Can someone confirm the tomahawk is really for IEMs and not for full size circumaural cans? then this would be out as I intend using full size headphones. I get the idea some models are aimed towards use with IEM and some are built for cans. A...

i am looking for a portable amp. how do these two makes compare for sound quality, fit and finish? i might also look at the Icube for a portable amp which looks very good to tie together with a DAP. i notice soundrigor do a blue finish amp, which is smaller than the HK octupus card. will try to...

I have bagged a D2+ on special offer. now I am wondering what portable headphone amps have good synergy with it. does the D2+ have a powerful but neutral sound? what about the amps on 香港金è²è€³ç*’專門店試è½-世界å牌耳ç*’耳機直銷 Westone, UE, Etymotic, Jays, Shure, AKG...

I read of a problem with large file transfers with the player, where a large data size is copied and the next time the player is switched on, the ui says "no files no folders"? is this true, and does the latest firmware resolve this? I might consider the S9 otherwise. Also how is the player to...

what are the comfort of these 2 cans like? I read the earpads of the D7000 can place the ear too close to the driver. which can is best for tight bass, or are they both good?

I went today to selfridges department store in london, and searched the whole electrical floor for 1 hour and found the small dismal cowon stand with just an o2pmp on display. the state of retail in the uk is so miserable its mind bending. is there any real store where i can compare the cowon...

i am looking to buy a cowon player due to the good op-amp. what is the calculation for estimating output with different headphones. e.g the i7 will output 26mw at 16ohm, how would i work out the max sound level at 70ohm?

I am trying to decide between these to buy in the UK. I do like the JVC. Is the treble on the JVC sibilant and harsh, or simply extended? Can the FX1000 benefit from 24 hrs break in? Do the sony buds have a dark sound in the lower highs > 2000 HZ which would benefit from extended listening. Is...

would the new sony walkman range be able to power these phones to proper levels? the phones are 25 ohm so maybe. i know they sound best with an amp, however are they better than phones at > 70 ohm for portable listening?
