I have searched high and low, but i can't find anyone who will mod an ipod in manner comparable to redwineaudio. have i missed something? before i hand them my $$, i just thought i should know if my only choice is them or the lineout. thanks.

Before I go to the trouble of installing Rockbox (so that I can use FLAC on my Nano), does anyone have an opinion as to whether there is a noticeable difference b/w Apple Lossless and FLAC? Thanks.

Looking to swithc to X5, but would only do so if i could find a cable that will go directly from lineout to rca connections on portable amp. The lineout adaptor that comes with X5 is crap, so I need an integrated unit. Any ideas?

Just upgraded IEMs to Westone ES3s. now its time to move a step up in amps. Can someone give me an idea what to think about in the $500-$600 price range for portable amps. I have enjoyed PA2V2, Supermicro and (current) Hornet. Looking for something to compliment the detail i expect from the ES3s...

So many choices! I am going to upgrade from UM2s soon. Price is not an issue. Have tried E5C and was very unimpressed. Loved UM2s, but have become focused on their limitations (esp. w/r/t treble). So now its time to move up again. Recognizing that opinions would be somewhat speculative at...

I have narrowed search for an amp to PA2V2 and Xin's Supermicro 3. I am using with Ipod 4G and Westone UM-2. I haven't seen a head-to-head comparison of these amps, so any advice on how they compare would be most appreciated. Thanks.

i just got a PSP and find the sound quality coming from the headphone jack seriously lacking. there is no audio line out, just a usb port. is there some way to get audio from the usb? i see that xitel sells a sound processor that takes sound from a laptop usb, processes it, and sends it to a...

Just got a Sony PSP and hate the sound quality. To make matters worse, there is no line out, so I am stuck with the crappy earphone jack. Can anyone recommend an in-line amp that would warm up the sound and boost the volume of the PSP considering that it will be connected to earphone jack...

Just got a PSP, and I am having a hard time justifying it as my primary portable music player over ipod. i have been using ipod with UM-2s and Pocket Amp 2 V2 (via line out with Pocket Dock), and it produces excellent sound quality. The PSP, on the other hand, isn't efficient enough to drive the...

Any suggestions on where to find a high quality mini stereo (1/8" to 1/8") patch cord to connect ipod/external amp? Looking for very short (<5") length. Apologies in advance if this has been asked/answered elsewhere; i searched but couldn't find. Thanks.

Have been searching for a good way to carry PA2 and Ipod together. I have experimented with velcro, but find that to be somewhat unsatisfactory. Any suggestions on a case that works to carry both together? Thanks.
