Would the Noble X Massdrop IEM be an upgrade over my UE900? I have had it for a long long time, looking for an upgrade. 

This post was made on 2011....Now the price had dropped!

I don't mind colouring the sound, since I am not doing any mixing or monitoring, Rokit itself is coloured. I don't need headphone amp either haha, just wonder how it would alter the sound with tube amp.

I am currently running Computer optical out > Little dot DAC_I RCA out > KRK Rokit 6. I am using the KRK solely for music listening. I wonder what effect will add if I buy a Little Dot mk_iii as preamp in between DAC and KRK?

When you see people wearing beats, you automatically think they are ignorant inside.

What connector does it use? I am looking to get a pair and custom built cables.

The new iPhone 5 will be announced in less than 2 hours, if the lightning port is replacing the 30-pin connector now,  how would the LOD look or is it even possible to make LOD anymore?

Found out the problem at the hifi shop, its the dac xlr problem

I went a head and got a sound card, didn't help, tried the USB input on my DAC_I, didn't help, as long as I am using XLR there is a hiss, could it be my monitors?

Found it, problem is the TOSLINK, but why doesn't the RCA have noise and XLR do? how do i solve it?

I just received my Little Dot DAC_I couple days ago, been using it with TOSLINK in from my computer, and RCA out to my Mackie HR624 MK2 monitors for music listening. Today I got a chance to try out XLR connection, problem is, when I used a pair of iCan 6ft XLR there is a hiss, noticeable from...

most of the time hiss from speakers or tube amps are caused by the power, I was using Musical Paradise MP302 MK2, it was hissing CRAZILY LOUD, but then I unplugged my laptop power supply from the mains of my room, PROBLEM SOLVED.

I went with Audioengine A5+, don't like subwoofer with my music, thanks for the tip tho

$830 retail, wonder how it sticks up to SR-71B + IPC

AHHHHH, LCD-2 or HD700 >.>"..... Does HD700 sound more like HD600 or 650?

Quote: It is a lot of an universal, but, it's worth the money haha, considering Final Audio has stuff that goes over $1500 as a single driver universal, also AKG came up with their K3003....with is also more expensive than many custom out there, justify or not is depends on the person 

Quote: tinyman392 gave some comparison already, I never had a chance on auditioning other PFEs

the change is noticeable but I won't bother changing the filters because for most people at least, grey will give the best out these can pump out, the black filter sounded a bit muffled compared to the grey to me

Quote: What amp are you using to make these unamped on 4S to sound better?.... I just bought a pair, they sounded great with the pro-ject amp compared to the iPhone out, of course I docked it on a pro-ject apple dock then connected to the amp, but with an amp these things seriously...

Yes, if you have extra money for amp, get a good one like Little dot 1+ tube hybrid or UHA-4, or better a HD600 with good amp

Quote: I used to own a pair cuz i thought Beats might have moved on so i gave them a try, they are complete trash, get rid of them NOW and replace it lol
