Hi all. I'm in the market for a pair of ESW9A. Can anyone suggest an "authorised legit" dealer I can purchase these from? I dont mind the full price as long as I can stay away from this counterfeit issue. I just want the best earpad style portable headphone I can find. Period.

everything i love and hate about the upgrade was posted already. I'd like to add that i like how when you don't have an album art, it shows you the background instead of the weird default albumarts of random colors. nothing significant, but a nicely detailed touch here.

I've started investing in some stock with moderate success while head-fi was down. During that time I was wondering how the cheaper dollar would affect the 'head-fi economy' because technically speaking, a used headphone, amp or source overseas in europe or asia could actually accumulate value...

if its SQ ur after, the Zune is a great choice over even the newest ipods. Tested my sister's ipod touch extensively, but i concluded that it didn't match the zune (classic) which is made by the sq sensitive Japanese in Toshiba. I have mine modded to 80gb but I didn't realise its size will be so...

I have to agree with you. I still remain skeptical about the design and the computer software, but microsoft seems to tick every other box right. The screen, ui, sound quality, headphones and dear lord, the timing of it's release just seem so logical. Can't wait for the new update on the old...

So when I go home and update my zune i will get those software updates? Or are they a few days away?

I wouldn't say his parent's a completely correct in their assessment of audiophile equipment, but since the kid is only 16, it they call the shots. Sorry kid, but you're at their mercy for two more years. This is very necessary because they have the right to influence -not control- the person...

I plugged in my recently acquired Zune while my iPod was still plugged in and it appears that the xbox can't recognize two DAPs at once. Is this normal?

I think they should focus on simplifying sonic stage. Its a pretty capable program that needs to be refined but throwing it all away would be a waste. Atrac on the other hand, should be abandoned imo.

Its good to see lossless codec and custom eq mentioned several times.

Just for fun Some people have been questioning the legitimacy of this player's 80gb capacity. This one's for them

It isn't set in stone that amplification should ONLY be made on line-out. You're free to amp anything you want. I've read of people amping the sound out of aircraft chairs to reduce hiss for instance. There are even gamers out there amping the sound out of their xbox.

UE Super.fi 5 pros. I'm guessing Grados would be perfect for this.

Mine doesn't have this issue either.
