I'll preface this by saying I'm a pretty loyal AKG fan, but I think you are missing out if you don't consider the AKG K272 / K271 MKII (the same headphone except 271 is the studio model i.e. detachable cord, auto-mute in headband, black instead of grey). I love them, and use a Fiio e11 amp and...

I'm looking to replace my headphones. I would like to get closed cans as I'm a college student and cutting out the ambient noise of 40,000 other student is high on the list. I have previously owned AKG's and am a big fan of the soundstage and AKG's mids are clearly best in the biz in my personal...

In keeping up with this thread and using my recently purchased Fiio E5 with my AKG K142's (bugdet sound quality), I have been salivating over this puppy. I'm going to be getting a new laptop soon to replace my comparably gigantic 3 year old one, and (potentially) a tower as well. What are...

For purely portable purposes, what's the comparison between the E5 and E7? Obviously the E7 is a DAC, but in terms of amplifying and getting better quality sounds out of my portable audio player, can I save a few bucks and get the E5 without sacrificing too much sound quality? It'll be powering...

Quote: OK great thank you. The DAC would be especially nice if I am able to go LO from my EVO (Which I use as my DAP). 

Quote:   Its a portable amp so it might not have the current to power such big cans. 

Wow, as an obsessive review reader for anything I am looking to purchase, thank you for a great review ClieOS! In-Depth, comprehensive, plenty of pics, simply fantastic.   Anywho, I'm curios if this might be overkill for some AKG 142's that I'm looking at getting. This and the E5 seem to be...

Any thought on using this puppy to power some AKG 142's?

Whoops, scratch the Pico from that list. No way i have that kind of $$

So. I'm looking for a portable amp to help some AKG 142's reach their full potential. I might go LO method from my iPod or Evo (the only reason for the might is that I'm not sure the Evo can go that route). Anywho, better sound > louder. Been looking at the NuForce Icon Mobile (although that...

Some posters on that other forum were complaining that they had to control the music from the Evo instead of on their automobile's respective head unit. Seems to me this is exactly what I want? I suppose a call the HTC tech support is in order...

    Quote:   Fair enough, but I do jam out to some good stuff, so I'm sure they won't mind    If these do come through, I might try and flip them on ebay or craigslist for some more portable ones (AKG 142's??) and a decent portable amp

  E9 and I+ are both desktop amps, have any mobile amp suggestions?

Ah, I suppose a mobile DAC/heaphone amp for under $100 was to good to be true. Rather ironic phrase considering this thread.    Quote:

Indeed. I'm not sure if Capitalism is the best economic system in the world, but I might as well uphold my country's values! (and get a great deal simultaneously)   Quote:

If Best Buy can have its workers knowingly suggest HDMI cables for $80 dollars to uninformed customers, in full knowledge that those same cables are available online for $5 or less, then I have no qualms about getting the best deal I can. Isn't that the whole point of capitalism? Business try to...

After doing some research, you can play audio out of the USB on the Evo. 

sorry to peddle this, but i'm looking for some advice on some new hardware. (partly including some AKG's which is why this got me so excited)  http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/523333/newbie-new-setup#post_7062156   any help/advice/comments would be welcome

Doesn't show up in searches, can't add to cart, seems like the mistake has been discovered. Or it was a fraud all along. 

So, I am looking to upgrade the quality of my portable audio situation. have both and iPod 6th 80 gb classic and an HTC Evo. My current plan of attack is to switch over to the Evo as my portable player, instead of having the iPod as a dedicated device (seemingly redundant). (Side note: I would...
