This sounds like exactly what I want. Is it a patch I can flash, or would I have to compile RB myself?

Hello, I bought a DX90 yesterday and the top priority was to get Rockbox onto it (after using it on my iPod 5.5, and my H340 before that, it's a must-have). However, there are a few things I can't yet get my head around, and after a few unsuccessful search attempts, and trying to go through...

FWIW, and for anyone searching for answers to this question, I posted a similar set of questions over on the official Fiio forum, and got a response:  http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=40717   In short, it does nothing like I wanted in terms of on-the-fly playlist management, so...

My iPod 5.5 G (with 240GB HDD mod + Rockbox) is now giving up the ghost (hold button is breaking, battery connection is loose), so I'm looking for a new player. I'm a bit broke right now, so can't ignore the value of the Fiio X3ii or the iBasso DX50 (even though I love the idea of dual SD card...

Brilliant, thanks.

I think you've convinced me on the Heir Audio 3a On sale for only $350, too. I listen to mainly electronic music (though not exclusively). Would they do well for this (I <3 bass, but also want crisp sounds).

This is fantastic news, thank you.

Oh, ok. I was under the impression that it would be one type of mold.  I'll ask them when I go. Thanks again for all the info, people. Really appreciate it.

Ah, something I didn't consider; the need to pair them with an amp. Oh, the research! The research!

I want custom IEMs - I didn't realise they weren't removable tips. Thanks for the info. I'll start looking at reviews for those models you mentioned... I can probably justify the extra bucks :) Any favs?

Great stuff.  I'll choose a brand and look for such an instruction sheet, thanks.

Hullo, As a frequent concert-goer, I'm at high risk for ear damage. As a music lover, the prospect of going deaf is terrifying. After talking with my audiologist friend, she has convinced me that I really, really should get some fitted ear plugs for all those times spent grooving in front of...

From my experience, I would say definately get the headphones before the amp. Only then judge if you think you need an amp.

Any hints on grounding the amp or shielding it from interference?

Indeed I am. If I run it from the headphone out I get more interference.

Hello, I guess this is a sort of 'sister' post to a similar one at http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1010893 Anyway, I bought a headphone amp from www.electric-avenues.com and have noticed that when it is turned up I hear a very distinct hiss. Well, this is usually...

Hello, I posted a while ago asking opinions about headphone amps: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=959637 I tried out the amp from http://www.electric-avenues.com/ when it arrived, but all I had was a terrible stereo mini --> stereo mini cable, and the amount of interference...

So not the guitar cable then? The problem with that is that I don't own a soldering iron, or have had experience with one (and I'm not about to hassle one of my mates to do it for me). It's a shame, because I would've just made the cable I needed out of Cat 5e if I had the ability; it's...

Hello there, I was looking around for a long cable to listen to music in bed with when I had the great idea of hooking up my guitar lead to my stereo. Of course, after buying the male -> female adapter I remembered that I only have a mono guitar lead. So the quest began for a stereo lead...

Thank you for your feedback. The Headsave Go-vibe looks to be a good sturdy amp, and the $35 difference between it and the Shellbrook CMoy is also a very nice thing. I know the Shellbrook CMoy is very well constructed and seems to use better parts, but I can't really justify that extra money at...

Hello there, I only recently found out that there are advantages to using headphone amps, and have been looking around the net for info on such products. After I found out about the CMoy amp, I thought I might have a go at building one. After finding out that it won't actually end up being...
