Quote:   I will try this tonight.  Thanks.

Edited title to reflect interest in ASMR sources.

Quote:   Thanks for your suggestions.  Yes rhead, I do listen to some post-rock like God Speed and Explosions in the Sky.  Haven't listened to Bass Communion, but that song sounds interesting. But What I am looking for is something with a lot of texture.  Here are the two songs that got...

Bump

Yeah, thanks guys.  With auto update off and load to RAM on, the delay went away.  My problem was that I was not restarting it between changing those options so they didn't really go into effect.

Hey, all.  Just got a 64GB card for my rockboxed (3.13) Clip Zip.  Formatted to FAT32 with 4k clusters (not a quick format) and filled with HQ VBR MP3s.  However, now it is markedly less responsive when browsing the database.  The card is a Sandisk Ultra card Class 10.  I have set it to...

Hey all,   I just got a pair of W4R and am really enjoying them.  I am into electronic, IDM, and ambient music, but I find myself drawn to content with very interesting sounds and  textures since getting the new EIMs.  There are especially a couple of Squarepusher songs with effects that...

Hey, I keep to a strict 640k data footprint. All of my mp3s are encoded at a bitrate of 2.

Quote:   I realize that other people are going to have different needs/wants.  Certainly more input and output options are a real plus and will make the end product much more versatile.  It is not a matter of price for me, it is a matter of longevity and redundancy.  I already have tons...

I would like it to be solar powered and include a police scanner.  Oh and GPS, so I can tag where my songs have been listened to!

Quote: That would be really cool!  I really wish there was something like the Nano 6th Gen with expandable storage.  Pair that with 2 x 64 GB cards and something like RSA's The Shadow for one slick portable rig.

That is a really good idea.  I will have to look into if there is a store around me with that kind of stuff.  

I do have Rockbox, I am using "Simple (Meier)" under crossfeed (as recommended by other head-fi'ers), but I have to admit, I am not really sure what all of those settings do.  

I have been playing FLAC files.  It just sound so much more distant (especially the vocals) compared to how it sounds when I play them through the computer.  The detail is there but something is off that really gets in the way of my enjoyment.  Perhaps it is just an EQ issue, but I cannot seem...

What is the equation? The Clip Zip output max is 18mW @ 160 Ohms and up to .54 V.  The W4Rs have a sensitivity of 118dB @ 1 mW and an impedance of 31 Ohms.  I only listen at about half volume, so I think they are getting enough power, but what about control?  

But how can you tell the difference between poor SQ from the DAC (DAP?) and under-preforming headphones?  I thought that some of the problem with a cheap internal amp was not simply lack of volume, but also lack of control over the drivers.  

Quote:   Thanks for posting this.  I entered it as described by the numbers and it was missing detail in the mid range.  I think the 5,500 Hz line should read +3 dB, as illustrated in your graph.  I am trying it out now.   Any idea what would be different with star tips?

So the consensus in this thread back when the E06 first came out was that it did not really benefit when driving Westone 3's from a clip+.  I just got a pair of W4R's that I am running from a Clip Zip, and they just don't sound as natural or spacious from the Clip as they do out of my 8 year old...

Hey guys, I didn't see one of these yet.  I know it is a new player, but I would love to hear impressions from all of the early adopters out there!

Quote:   I think the internals are essentially the same for both.

Quote: I believe that I have read that exFAT also works with a rockboxed Sansa, which can be done through windows.  I am waiting for a deal on one for my own Clip Zip, so I can't tell you from personal experience.  I am a digital hoarder I'm afraid, so I wish I could get a 128 GB card to...

Thank you for the clarification julian67.  I was not aware that SDHC stopped at 32 GB, but I guess it makes sense.  Looks like SDXC goes all of the way to 2 TB, so it may be a while before we need a new standard to hold our audio collections...

Quote:   I also think that many manufacturers are using class 10 as the base line for their higher capacity cards.  I don't think that I have seen very many class 4 64 gb cards.  So if you need a lot of space, you may not have a choice about what speed card you can buy.  It is not always...

Well I e-mailed Gary and this was his response.  Hope this helps anyone else who is interested.   Gary: The PA2V2 is able to actually reduce and mute the incoming volume level from the computer. Interestingly, the amp would work as a passive volume control except that the knob will work...

Bump?
