I´ve used these headphones for more than two years, paired up with a DIYmod Ipod video 5.5 gen +V-Cap Dock. But it is no fun. The sound is too analytical for my taste, I guess. The reason I´m writing this is because I just realized that I find my old Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro much more...

Hi all, My subwoofer is pretty old and the speakers cost about 300-400 euro I think, link. I think they are good, but I can´t compare them to anything which is proven to be good. This is the scenario which I plan to use the equipment: Spotify (192 KBIT/S) -> Apple Airport Express -> amp >...

According to the guys over at V-Cap Oil Capacitor comments I need +200 hours burn-in to get my v-cap dock started. Problem is that I don´t know how to feed this dock with anything other than battery-driven equipment (i.e. my DIYmodded ipod), and I don´t want to drain the batteries. Are there...

The iMod seems to be a good investment sound wise, but due the fact that the supply of 5.5G iPods sooner or later will diminish, I was wondering what impact that would have on the battery-supply? Or are there other manufactures of iPod 5.5G compatible batteries? Thanks, Erik

Hi guys, the battery in my 1st gen Nano isn´t feeling very well so I decided to go looking for a new player. Logically thinking, when selecting a setup it´s a good thing to match the performance/quality/.. of all the involved components (player, cables, amplifier ..). My current setup is a...

I have an old pair of speakers that I want to use together with my computer. From previous research I´ve concluded that Trend TA-10(an amp) seems to do the trick. Right now I use the onboard ALC850, but have plans on getting a USB DAC instead of buying a internal soundcard since ALC850 is...

Hi all, I recently got hold of K701 and a headsix amp. So far the music I´ve enjoyed the most with this equipment is Vivaldi - the four seasons and Beethoven - Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61a (Piano Version). And now I want to find new music to listen to. I've heard that anything with a...

Hi all, My current speaker system, harman/kardon, seems to be on its last days so I guess I have to start looking for something new. The problem is that I don't know what to look for. My goals are: - Soundcard with the capability to handle, at the same time, both LINE OUT and HEADPHONES...

Im using a 1st gen Nano Rockboxed but the problem is that I am note very familiar with crossfeed settings although a like the default config. So I wounder if anyone can give me some recommendations on how to configure crossfeed? Im using AKG k701 and headsix amp. thanks

Any recommendations of retailers? Thanks, Erik

Got this amp a couple of weeks ago and realized that I need a new pair of headphones. Tried the amp with my existing HP890, but compared to my SPFI5:s there was alot missing. But getting a "perfect seal" with these SPFI5 really kills me so I want some nice sound without plugging somethuing into...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting an amp but need answers to a couple of questions in my mind. Some amps, like Headamp Pico and RSA Predator, has something called DAC, digital to analog converter, right? What is it? Do I need an amp with it? I live in Sweden, and so fare from what I've...

Hi all, I need some advise. Sorry to be asking one of these 10000+ types of "what should I get" questions, but I havn't seen anyone with my requirements. Right now I'm using a Super.fi 5 Pro along with a Nano 1st gen (rockboxed). It works really good but now I want to try something better. Im...

I´ve owned the mentioned pair of IEM:s for almost a year now and I still havn´t got them to steadily seal when Im out walking. I also read about the FS mod but it did´t fit either. The medium sized silicone ear tips fits best. 1. are there other ear tips to try? 2. what is the shape of the...

When I connect my Super Fi 5 pro to my iPod nano I´ve notised some "static noise" when no songs are playing. The noise is stronger in the default firmware than in the Rockbox firmware. But to my question, is there a name for this fenomen? Can it be something like "hiss"?

I wounder what setting you guys use? I installed rockbox yesterday and it works quite alright concerning the functionality. So now take on the quest for better SQ. Saw there was a 5G iPod + rockbox thread but no nano yet so I fixed this. greetings E

I´ve just ordered a pair of Super.fi 5Pro:s, and need to find a matching portable flash player. But most players I´ve found so far seems to have been out on the market for quite some time. Any suggestions of new players? Sound quality is no1 and I dont care much for video. //ERik
