IEM remake service?
I have a set of UE PRMs that I'd like to pass on to a family member. Obviously they'd need to be remade from a new mold. I contacted UE and this is not a service they provide, however I could have sworn I saw a company somewhere that offered this as a service, but I've been unable to locate...- lerxst

Ultimate high end IEM recommendation
I've been using a pair of UE PRMs for about 3 years now, and though I love them to death, I want to try something new. The PRMs are extremely neutral and great for mixing, but I was without them a few days ago and had to resort to using my old UE TripleFi 10s and it was amazing how much more fun...- lerxst

Insurance for IEMs?
In my experience, Squaretrade only covers things like problems or defects or damage. It doesn't cover loss or theft - which is expressly what I'm afraid of. I travel a lot with these things, and though I've never lost a set of IEMs or headhphones before, I'll be damned if this is the first set I...- lerxst

Insurance for IEMs?
Hello, I've got a set of UE PRMs that I dearly love and cost a lot of money. I have most of my other expensive gear insured through my renter's insurance (State Farm) however they are refusing to cover my IEMs because, they claim, they are neither jewelry or a musical instrument. I've gone...- lerxst

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
I haven't ordered yet, but I was considering it, so I called JH to see what their lead time was on these. For CF models, they said "we're pretty far behind". For the regular kind, they said "we can do those faster, we're only a few months behind on those". So..... yeah. FYI.- lerxst

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
EDIT: I found the gapless setting - it's not under the main settings screen. You have to play a song and then from that screen, press the nut icon in the lower right corner. Then pick the first tab (looks like an equalizer). I put v2.01 on my AK100 and my albums are still not gapless. Is...- lerxst

Amp recommendation: make my RWAK100 sound like my DX100
Actually, I am quite happy with the iBasso D12 amp, with dummy buffers and the "classical/jazz" opamp from Topflight's opamp kit. It sounds almost exactly the same as my DX100. What subtle differences I can (barely, sometimes) detect are pleasing. Let me know if you want to hear more about how...- lerxst

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
I concur: once I fixed all my albums to display art, scanning takes _A LOT_ longer now. I have about 2200 tracks, about 85GB of music, and scanning takes almost half an hour. Thank god you can trigger it manually. One crazy idea I had: the file format the AK100 stores its scanning database...- lerxst

Anyone have problems accessing 2x 64GB cards through USB when they're in the AK100? It seems to play from 2x 64GB cards just fine, but if I connect the AK100 to my computer via USB, it will invariably have errors on one or both cards if both are installed in the AK100. I can use each card in a...- lerxst

The iBasso D12, dual dacs . images . new Sysconcept optical cable . . Topkit by HiFlight. .
Is it just me or is the D12 not able to play 24/192 audio via optical in? When I try this via my AK100 and the Sysconcept cable, I can hear the song but a TON of static on top of it. Does the D12 not actually support 192 kHz optical input? iBasso's web site is surprisingly silent on the...- lerxst
