I'm thinking of changing my order to have the Oyaide Straight plug instead, it looks great and I won't mind a small extra charge :) Right diameter for me too

So the Switchcraft HD 3.5mm is smaller in diamater than Viablue 3.5mm? Thanks

Where can I buy this in the U.S. in the future?

Exactly :D I have a Pico Slim, and the Viablue is too thick to plug into my amp (the amp is attached to my DAP), that's why I needed a right-angled in the first place!

Is the Switchcraft HD3.5mm plug smaller in diameter than the Viablue 3.5mm plug?   If so, I would get Switchcraft :)

I just found this thread, pardon my search skills, I think I found what I was looking for!   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/410022/before-asking-about-digital-audio-read-this-digital-audio-primer

Hey guys, just need a little bit of your time =)   I'm going to get a desktop rig for the first time, and I think I got it down, but I want to clarify with the experts first before I make the actual purchases.   My desktop rig would be: MacBookPro > mini toslink - toslink optical cable...

Totally understand, thanks a lot Craig!   I'm loving your cables, I'll send an email on what I need, cheers!

Yeah I understand that, I've stated in all three emails that I understand he is a busy man before I get to my point.. ^^;   But I really need to get to him now because he got my order wrong when it arrived in the mail today =( No doubt he will provide good service if he wasn't so busy, gotta...

Thanks for the reply!

For me with JH-16 I use 25/40 on the i9, and the Slim volume knob at 50% max.   On my i9 alone unamped, the JH-16 can run at only 10/40 volume, but for the same volume, my Westone3 would need 12/40. I think the JH-16 are easy to power, but needs a good amp to actually bring out its true...

Received my JH-16s two days ago, upgraded from my Westone 3s, from auditioning DT880/250 for two days just before - WOW these IEMs sound better than the DT880 thru the proper amps! I've never heard bass so defined, deep and mind blowing before. Clarity is as good, or better than the DT880...

Hello Craig,   Contacted you through email on my special request, returned my cable for this over-mold pre-order. Payment already made. Contact me if I need to pay extra for the Oyaide.   48",  3.5mm Oyaide Straight Rhodium plug + Over-molded connector (see picture below)    ...

Quote: I really like the DACport with 16's, however now I have this urge to convert everything to FLAC, I can hear a little SQ improvement with FLACs over 320bit mp3s =/ The difference is there for only some songs though.   I haven't used the DACport > Pico Slim alot, but the main...

koonhua90 I don't think you will regret it, I just got it yesterday and I just can't put it down, I'll post impressions after 1-2 weeks of listening, IF I can put it down!

Awesome, I've just received my JH-16!! Ordered them in Singapore thru a local dealer (Jaben).   Order Number: Unknown Date Ordered: June 21st Earmolds Received: Unknown Shipped: ~ July 12th Received: July 15th   They sound A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, very good fit, no complains but praises so...

Very good point sanity8me haha.   Yes I do agree that putting a copper LOD with silver TWag, or vice versa, would not be a good synergy at all!

Oh my god, noisyscott that is a very FAST order!~   I ordered mine thru a local dealer in Singapore on 21th June, now I'm really hoping it's already on the way back!

Very comprehensive review! Thanks warp08!   I'm glad to hear that the DACport is equal/better than HM801 player if you do not consider portability - now I know just how great my DACport is as I just started this audiophile hobby of mine, guess I won't be looking for any DAC/amp for my home...

I just received this second-hand from another Head-Fi'er, and oh my god this headphone amp is VERY portable!   During my first 2 hours of listening, I can definitely notice a wider soundstage (I listen to lots of trance). The volume knob is very accurate, and I don't mind the quality of it...

Wow really insightful post FortisFlyer, thanks! =D   I definitely agree on the cost of the JH-16 - they are indeed comparable to some high end speakers but much cheaper in price. I have the JH-16 on order and I am telling myself not to expect a 4x increase in SQ over my W3s, but the fact...

I'm still using my Westone 3s.. JH-16 havent arrived yet :(

I've been reading lots of great reviews on the RSA protector, and I've noticed the really sleek Pico Slim recently. I have JH-16s on order in a few weeks and I really want to enjoy true audio heaven =) while maintaining the most portable setup!   However, I'm very curious about this.. how...

Oh what I meant was the custom artwork was actually done by xplicit_concept himself!
