so i decided to go for the UE-5c mainly because im looking for comfort. I had my impressions taken this morning at the UE office here in Irvine. When I was talking to Brad Jensen from UE he said that the way he would discribe the Triple.Fi is "the triple.fi have the same drivers as the UE10Pro...

yeah... I don't know if I would like the UE10 myself, they might be too analytical. I know the UE-5c would be more colorful and I think I would like that. I wonder if the Triple.Fis are as analytical as the UE10s.

I currently own UE super.fi 5 and I really like them. I was thinking of upgrading to the UE-5c but now that the triple.fis have been announced im wondering which way I should go. I know only a limited number of ppl have the triple.fi but I was wondering if anyone has compared the triple.fi...

Hello. I was trying to find some info on the 600ohms version of the DT880s. I see that most ppl have the 250ohms and I couldn't really find any comparisons. How do they differ in sound? What do you need to properly drive the 600ohms? (...will a RSA Hornet be able to drive them?)

I store my UE-SF5pros in the case that UE includes with them. I think its a pretty nice, and small case.

yeah, I'm afraid of IEMs. I don't hear music that loud on my IEMs, but when I use them my ears get tired so quickly. I can listen to music louder and more comfortable when using open cans.

The other day I was listening on my k701s and I took 'em off to go to another room in the house. I could still hear them while I was in the other room. Yes they leak a lot. But I wouldn't use them as speakers. I don't like to have my headphones playing when they are not in my head, not even...

ah, ok. All right, I'll use the outs on the back. Thanks.

yeah, when I use my ipod I use the lineout dock, and you don't have to worry about the volume. But on the soundcard there is a volume nob...

Hello, I was wondering how loud do I have to set the volume on my soundcard for my amp to recieve? I use to have my firewires410 headphone output maxed out and just control the volume with my amp. But when I do this I hear some crackling. So I decided to move the nob on the soundcard to the...

I can't really speak for the DT880. But I'm really enjoying the 701s, they are pretty light. They are bigger than I thought, enough to cover my whole ear. No fatigue.

sweet. lol I envy you. hahaha

all right. Awesome. thanks for answering my questions. I think im gonna give a try to the firewire410 (when my wallet recovers lol) Thanks! P.S. the Firewire410 also looks badass lol

in your opinion which of the two DACs do you prefer the most? And why

EDIT: erased to avoid confusion.

I was thinkin of doing this too (duplicating the files, a set of loseless and a set of mp3s for my ipod) but in the end I decided just keeping the FLAC files on my system, and whenever I wanted a file on my ipod just I would just convert it to mp3 and send it over to my ipod... as soon as it was...

hummm... I could save more money buying a firewire410 than buying an audiocard and then a DAC... and quality would still be as good?

So I've been going thru the forums reading stuff about DACs, soundcards, and stuff related to the computer as the source. I see some ppl use this setup: (1st setup) Soundcard > DAC > AMP > Headphones. and others have: (2nd setup) firewireport > M Audio Firewire410 > (AMP?) > Headphones...

finally. no more crappy dock. got my TURBOdock II on the mail today
