I did not format my Micro SDXC card as the M7 does not have a provision for doing so itself...I just stuck it in, created a music folder and started transferring artists and albums - it has worked perfectly with my 256GB card. Be careful what brand/source you use for your card...there are a lot...

I would prefer open. Comfort is an important factor as well as sound. I listen mostly to classic rock and classic jazz from well recorded sources.

Now that I have fixed by storage card problem, I am trying to decide on a pair of headphones to mate with this DAP. I have a pair of the original Grado SR80 cans as well as the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (originals). I started listening with these as they have a lower impedance than other headphone...

I am having some other issues - mainly surrounding music and sdxc cards with the M7, is this thread the best was to try to get some answers to my problems?

Unlike some other DAPs, it doesn't appear that the M7 has an option for formatting a sdxc card on the unit. Am I missing something here, or is everyone just using their computers to format the card prior to use in the M7? If so, what format is everyone using? I am having some issues with getting...

I have a FiiO M7 DAP arriving tomorrow. Though I have headphone amps laying around, I'd really like to find some cans I can run straight from the FiiO. I have AKG 701 and Sennheiser HD600 headphones as well, but I know these won't work well with this DAP. Knowing that Grados are easy to drive...

Can anyone confirm if this unit works with 512GB sdxc cards?

I just ordered a Schiit Valhalla 2 and Bifrost DAC today...

** I posted this on another forum earlier today, thought I would share it here as well **   OK, I am posting this because I was tinkering around last night and discovered that the "veil" that is often associated with this headphone was gone. I am not posting this to debate on whether or not...

I want to buy either an Asgard 2 or Valhalla 2 to pair pretty much exclusively with my Sennheiser HD600s. I've read so many threads and varying opinions regarding which one would be better with this specific can. One review I read said the V2 had a bit more sparkle and clarity in the treble than...

I do realize they have a specific sonic signature, and I am really not trying to turn them into something they are not. But I can't help but feel that they strike me as a nice set of speakers that are just not paired with the right preamp and power amp to deliver their best sonics. I definitely...

I listen almost exclusively to FLAC files via the PC in JRiver or foobar ripped from:   LPs captured at 24/96 CDs ripped at 16/44   I am feeding my current headphone amp from a Musical Fidelity M1DAC.   I listen mainly to rock, traditional jazz and some blues.

I've read more threads on these cans than I care to say!   I got a great deal on these from Amazon recently, and decided to take the plunge. I'm coming from AKG 702's, so these are definitely different - and I want to maximize their potential as much as possible. Today I ordered a replacement...

  Did you list them here? If not, how much?

I currently own AKG K702 headphones (which I do enjoy), but I'm thinking about adding the 880/600 to my collection - just for a little variety. I've not heard these particular headphones, but from what I've read, it sounds like they share many of the same qualities with my AKG's. I only wish...

I use Gizmo (mainly on my tablet) to control JRiver in my main system from my chair - works awesome! You can also use Gizmo to control wireless streaming to other areas in your house via a tablet or smartphone as well.  

Hi All,   I think my title says it all.   I own and love the AKG K702 open back phones, and I'm looking to acquire a set of closed phones to use as well. I love the sound and comfort afforded by the AKG K702, and I am hoping to duplicate both of these qualities with a closed pair.  ...

Hi,   Looking for some feedback from those who own (or may have owned) one of these DACs.   I am using the Xciter in conjunction with Musical Fidelity V-Link to present a 24/96 signal to the Xciter from my laptop's USB port. I've noticed that when I turn the Xciter on with this...

I own Grado 80's and have previously owned the Sennheiser 600's.   Quote:

I was wondering if anyone knows if a beefed up external power supply such as one offered by CI Audio, Monolithic Sound, Musical Fidelity, etc. can be used with this headphone amp.   Has anyone tried a different power supply? If so, your results/thoughts?

Quote: But I suppose it must be generally true then that a hybrid amp will meet this lower impedance requirement more than an OTL?   And by output impedance, that's not the same as headphone impedance is it? Trying to figure out where this measurement is on Woo's amp specs.  ...

Quote:   Soooo...   In order to assure that a low impedance set of cans like the K701 will be able to be driven well enough, it's the output impedance of the amp that should be closely looked at, not whether it is a hybrid transformer coupled amp or an OTL? I guess I should look to...

So just when I thought I was beginning to understand all of this, I go to the Woo Audio site and find that the WA2 is a SE OTL unit while the WA6 is transformer coupled. Shouldn't the WA6 be a better match for the 701 than the WA2, or did the designer do something special with the WA2 to make it...

Quote: I don't have it yet, but I just purchased a used Head Direct EF1 to pair with my newly ordered AKG 702 cans. I will be purchasing a 60's NOS Mullard 12AU7 for the EF1 tomorrow when I purchase some 6DJ8's to re-tube my preamp. We'll see how this combination works!

  Quote:   Thanks!   I also just bought a used Head Direct EF1 for about $160. Now I am in the process of securing some tubes for a little roll party I have planned.
