Quote: Strange as my HTC one X seems to support it...

Just want to mention my stock UK HTC One X works fine with my NU Force UDac  1, I just plugged a 99p otg  usb cable into my phone, pluged other end to UDAc which feeds my NAD amp via phone leads, went in to my music on the phone and hit play..music blasted out of my amp, geat sucess!...sounds...

Hi Artcheezzz,   I have a 1980's NAD 3020e, and a NAD 6220 cassette deck, both cost the grand sum of £21! I run FLAC to the amp from my laptop. I don't have a DAC Magic but do have serveral portable DACS (uDac, Ibasso PB1). I find the NAD very very good as a headphone amp, and can go much...

The perceptability of the human ear to differentiate voices is also important in this. Maybe there was some advantage for prehistoric man/woman? hear his baby cry etc? Quite an interesting OP ! - Makes a change from arguing about ATH-M50's bass.

I think there are a couple of very loose standards manufacturers use, you just need to check beforehand. by pure chance all 4 of my iems share the same nozzle size.

lol, I guess, but i don't know 10k on music gear? even if I had that much spare I wouldnt, it's a bit like expensive jewelery...not right in my mind - hey i'm just having a hippy thread jacking moment! all good though :)

i'd buy a spare porta pro, and give the rest to a worthy charity...scary to think that 10k could save a few lives, just a thought.

  Quote:   Yeah, they are very smooth..maybe a little too smooth for my liking. But they are soooo comfy. For me they are best at accoustic music, for rock maybe not - a little dull for anything heavy. I like them though.  

To be fair, Robert/Headstage did post my USB DAC cable really quick  (and its a great product)...and he responded to my emails (eventually).   But the patience of you guys is really incredible! 14 weeks?? I ordered by Ibasso PB1, which came from China to UK..China...in 5 days. I could...

Yeah, kudos to the OP for at least realising the issue!  Quite an interesting thread for us flat dwellers...just a shame the solutions require major DIY work.

Quote: Yup, I live in a flat (middle floor) and have experience of idiot neighbours (not you OP) and their loud music, its not too bad if its in the afternoon, but evening time it is just not cricket.   Baring doing what an earlier poster has said and sound proof your floor, theres...

  Quote:   I was think of getting a pair..damn you for making me change my mind..damn you :)   Quote:   Thats why I sold my M50...they didnt do it for me comfort wise..bit too sweaty. But its important to note that not liking something is not the same as saying its...

I use tubes and batteries all the time and get plenty voltage...

Well I trust his him, i'v just bought 3.   The photo looks alot like Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire...that sold it for me.

£20 Phones are not going to be for audiophiles...thats what £600 big jumbo german phones are for, PortaPro's are fun, cheap and light...I think I'm a bit deaf because I really Iove how they sound..esp when amped, they go pretty loud too compared some of my other portables (ahh thats why i'm...

Nah the PortaPro's are not overrated..build quality maybe, but they sound lovely for their price...so cheap they are practically free.   Saying the PP's are overrated is like saying the beatles are overrated...not sure where I'm going with that..   Edit: Actually the PP's are the case...

  Quote: 'all open phones being overrated' lol...thats cheating.  Conversly i'm the opposite, I dislike closed which to me are not musical enough, I think air and atmosphere helps.   Saying that, I think all closed phones are overrated..to me they are a bit boring! (music wise)

Think my point was, alot of people HATE popular gear - regardless of whether it is good or not..I really cannot see how the ATH-M50 can be classed as overrated.

Are any popular cans NOT overrated?

i like the cookie dough one...

Quote: +1,  I have owned both...ok well owned the M50 and recently went to the London Waterloo Imax (watched Inception)...that Cinema had bass...my seat literally hopped up and down with the bass - try that ATH-M50.   Seriously though, i'v just sold my m50, and am just a...

How 'bout some pictures of computers? Which seems to be lacking in the last few posts...

OK here is mine;  sorry if it makes anyone feel poor...
