Good questions one and all. Basically all of them have remotes, coax out, good (enough) displays, and I dont care about upsampling. But how noisy or not the transport is DOES matter to me, and thats where I need some advice from those who know.

I seem to be in the same boat as many of you. I'm in the market for a small form factor CD Transport, which will be connected to my TEAC AI-503 via coax, preferrably <$500 Here's what I've narrowed it down to: * Cayin Mini-CD * Little Dot CDP II * Shanling Tempo eC1B * TEAC PD-301 * PRO-JECT...

Thank you Baten! The download worked and did the trick. However I tend to think you're right about returning the D50. I'm trying one more thing recommended by a user who said they swapped cables with a subwoofer cable and coax started working. If that doesnt do it, I'm moving on from the D50...

I'm having TWO serious issues with my new Topping D50 that I hope someone can help me with. #1. I get an NSIS ERROR when trying to run ASIOProxyInstall-0.7.2.exe which I've downloaded from their site several times. #2. No sound using COAX Input from a known previously-working source. PLEASE...

Ok, I know how much people hate these kind of questions. Hell I HATE asking it. But I'm going to anyway - My current phones are the M-Audio IE20XB .... Would the 1MORE be a step up in sound or not?

Damn, I have the same question! I've been using JRiver's JRemote app but since their update, 24bit tracks sound distorted. My rig is iPad Air>>CCK>>Fiio E17>>Grado SR325is

If my 325is had 50% more bass and a less fatiguing mid - highs, they'd be perfect. I use them with an ipad going to a Fiio E17 (via USB). I don't trust myself properly doing a major mod, but I did try the tape mod and it's good. Does anyone out there do hole-punch mods for people too scared to...

I've been enjoying using the Fiio E17 for over a year now, and it serves many purposes throughout my listening day.  By day, I have it hooked via USB to my PC, then out to my home stereo via the L7 LOD.   By night, I use it to listen to music on my ipad with headphones connected to the Fiio E7...

Consider me LIKING, FOLLOWING, and now thanks to the miracle of the internet, REPLYING!

A question :    I'm currently running the E17 from my PC to my NAD 3130 receiver using the L7 line out dock.  Although it sounds phenomenal, it would look and function a lot better if I had it docked into an E09k.  My fear is  I heard the sound is not as good with that setup (having the E09...

Liked, liked again, shared and now posted. Mmmm, I can smell those fresh headphones now.

You mention recabling. I know it might be overkill on a $7 iem, but IF one was to install a new cable, what specific kind would you use? Would there be any anticipated changes to the sound with new wiring (good, bad, or indifferent?)

On the recommendation of the group I grabbed a pair of the 8320s. Im really digging them, so much so in fact that I'm selling my Klipsch Image X10. To be honest im still using the stock tips (until the Complys arrive) so the fit and comfort are so-so. However when paired with the Fiio E11 the...

Sadly, this week I sold my Senneheisers for a pair of KLIPSCH X-10 which are more suitable for my use.  But the HD598s will always have a place in my heart! ;)

Wow, it must be fate. I came here tonight to post a question about...white headphones! More specifically a pair i tried on as a kid. When i was about 9 my grandfather took me shopping for headphones at Tweeter Etc (amazing store back then). My only experience at that point was the tiny on ear...

I too have been searching for a shorter aftermarket cable with a 1/8" plug for my HD598 and i came across this: http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/k-254m354m-6.htm In your opinions, would this work as a pheasable option? -Don-

I was just about to ask about an after market cable for  the HD598 that had a 1/8" plug. I realize that i could use an adaapter (and I do) but my audio-only OCD likes things nice and neat, so a replacement cable would be great.  This is my first experience with headphones that come standard with...
