Hi I'm having problems with my pocket dock. The sound from it sounds terrible. It's all distorted, digital, distand, and echoey. It was working fine before but I'm not sure why it doesn't work any more.

I haven't really been reading around the portable forums much so I wanted to ask a simple question. Is the iPod the only producion DAP that will give me a true line out portably (via pd or sik din) and lossless support (not WAV)? I don't care at all about headphone out capabilities.

Hi I was thinking that the m-audio transit would be best for my laptop to benchmark/apogee mini dac. But how would it do for FPS games? Is Audigy really the best choice for strict gaming?

Someone suggested the AKG 271s any thoughts on that? I'm just looking for a rock phone as an alternative to the er4s. I liked the w11r's but those are kinda hard to find. Any suggestions? EDIT> This is for home use so portability isn't an issue. And I'll have a good amp so I won't have...

Has anyone heard the psb 2b or 4ts? Or the Mission M35i speakers? Any opinions on them? thanks alot.

Hi. I noticed my oneac cp-1105 has a very loud hum so I opened it up and dynamated it and put it on top of two calculus textbooks to dampen the noise =P It's much quieter, but I wish it was silent. Are they all like this or was I just unlucky?

Hi. I was wondering which USB sound card would have the best digital out. And if it was used with the Dac1 which is supposed to be jitter immune, would it even matter much which card is used?

I was just wondering what percentage of people are willing to recommend something they have never heard before and if people have any issues with this.

I just heard the W11r's and I was very impressed by them. They seemed like a perfect contrast to my er4s. I really loved the sound. Are there any other cans that can deliver this type of sound? Does anyone know how the A100s or W100s compare to the W11r's? thx alot.

Hi. I'm going to buy my first soldering station, and I was wondering what I should look for. I heard getting a weller would be good, but I'm not sure what else to look for. Thx.

I'm about to make a P -> S adapter. Does anyone know if just the L and R parts need the resistence? Would I need to add one to the ground as well? Thx alot.

Hi. I lost my pimeta in the Phamducduc scheme. I'd like to contact local authorties where he lives, but first I'd like more information. If possible, could those who were involved please PM me with contact info which I could forward to police. Also I'd like any suggestions towards dealing...

Has anyone tried the RA-1 or a clone with the er4/s? I am currently using a MisterX built pimeta with AD8620 op amp, and was thinking about something with a different flavour. Does the RA-1 have more bass and sound quite warm? The RA-1 is made to drive lower impedence headphones, so would the...

In the future I may need some cans for home use, if I find the er4s to be too isolating and impractical for home use. I sold my a900s because I found the bass overwhelming with a ppa. I do like the sound of the er4s, hd-600s, and K501, though I find the K501s not great for all types of music...

Hi, I think i'm going to sell my a900s, but I will need a replacement. I liked the hd-600s alot, but I was curious about the Beyer 880s. Does anyone know how they would compare sonicly to either the a900s, hd-600s, or er4s? thx alot!

Hi, I don't use my computer for music, but I'm curious which one you guys would suggest for a laptop to watch movies with. I would like one that runs off usb power so that It it would be totally portable. Does anyone have experience with that new turtle beach small one or m-audio sonica for...

I know this have been discussed before, but my decision depends on a very specific factor. Some of you have advised getting the Er4P and the Xin SuperDual amp with p->s switch. This sounds like a great idea for me since I only want to use the amp when I study at a library or when I'm at home...

I used the search function and found that various members thought that the er-6 lacked bass. I was wondering if anyone could describe the sound of the er-6s to some of the headphones I've experienced. I've tried the Sony Canal phones. I forgot the name already but they are right next to me...

I always thought the Navy Blue Eggos kinda looked like the A900s because of the headband.. except it's just missing the wings. I enjoy the A900s alot but I need something for portable use. I use the portpros which I like kinda, except that they are too open and I hear too many outside...

I need an amp for my Toshiba SD-3960 and A900s. I haven't modifed the Toshiba but it seems that I might in the foreseeable future. I would really like a PPA, but right now I think it's out of my budget. I think of portability would be nice. But it's not really needed since I don't bring...

Hi. My dad was in some kinda band with his friends, and one of his friends seems to have left this thing at my house and it's been here like a year or so. Since no one is using it, I figure I could put it to use if it is infact useful. I don't really know what the hell it does other than...

I was wondering if a900s would benefit significantly with the introduction of an amp since they seem to have low impedence. I would assume so, but which amp would be ideal for driving them at a cost of $100 or so but at $200 max? Maybe something with the best bang for buck?

Hi. I was wondering if it was practical to run a home head amp on rechargable batteries since it seems that the cheapest amps tend to be portables. For say the go-vibe or jmt portable pimeta, how long would those last on 9v batteries. Are the plainview batteries that are sold on headsave...

Hi, i'm new to this Head-fi world so i'd appriciate some advice. I'm looking for new headphones around $150, around 200 max. I was considering the HD-555, HD-580, and K 501s. I listen to mostly rock and pop.. also some classical here and there. I heard the K 501s lack bass. How much...

Hi, I'm new to this world of Head-fi, and I was wondering what kind of amp I would need to drive the K501s. I don't really have a planned budget yet, but cheaper would be better. Probably I would want something that costs around $100, and maybe $200 at most. Is that enough money to buy an amp...
