7 Channel Speaker amps
Hey thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have two surround backs as well making it a 7.1ch. The setup that I want is one that will make listening to music most enjoyable. To me that would mean most realistic (kinda like sitting at a concert). I just love when I am listening to a... -
7 Channel Speaker amps
I have a decent sound system that has been passed down from my father. Its a set of the Klipsch Reference RB-81. Its the bookshelfs along with the center, two surrounds, and a Velodyne subwoofer. I am powering them with a Pioneer Elite VSX-40 A/V Receiver via Digital Optical from my Asus Xonar...- EthanHarte

Is S/PDIF the same as digital Coax?
Hey head-fi community, I need some help with an audio interface that I bought. I have an Avid M-Box 3 and I am trying to route the audio to my sound system. The problem is the mbox only has S/PDIF and analog out via quarter jacks (which i cant use). I also have a Pioneer Elite vsx-40 receiver...- EthanHarte

Need a good IEM to pair with the X5. $200-300 range.
So I ended up going with the Westone 4R's. I got them really cheap for $325. I will update this post on how they sound when I get them.- EthanHarte

The Fiio X5 Thread
Ok so I've loaded some music on the x5 and I have given it a listen. I am running fw2.0. Keep in mind that im coming from an ipod touch 4g with no amping. Ok so the sound of the x5 is AMAZING! And to think its not even burned in yet. I dont understand the people saying that there is no bass. It...- EthanHarte

The Fiio X5 Thread
more first impressions: i really like the screen and the UI. I think Fiio did a great job. I actually like it better than the ipods music app UI. I never really liked the ipods music app. Idk why. I havent used it outside so i dont know if the screen suffers in sunlight yet. So far i think Fiio...- EthanHarte

The Fiio X5 Thread
just got my x5 after a tough month and half wait from mp4nation. First impressions are pretty good. I agree that the scroll weel is a little flimsy. Other than that this thing feels solid. I am loading music onto the cards right now. I will update you on sound when i have a time to listen. I am...- EthanHarte

Trying to connect a condenser microphone to a soundcard.
I have the Audiotechnica AT2020 condenser mic which i accidentally bought because the manufacturer has them listed as the same name as the USB version. I also have the Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card in my computer. First thing is that the microphone did not come with a stand or a cable so i...- EthanHarte

So referring back to my post about my x5 being shipped from MP4Nation. Im pretty sure they just gave me a tracking number so I would leave them alone. The tracking number just says that they got shipping information to fedex and that is it. Doesnt even list the location of the x5. I really hope...- EthanHarte

So it has been a month since i ordered the X5 from MP4Nation. Still dont know if it has shipped or if they even have it. They told me they would have it 2 weeks ago but that was a lie i guess. Im a bit disappointed with them. Not sure if i should cancel or not. Probably if i dont get it by May...- EthanHarte

It would be really cool to have a leather case for the x5 that would flip open to reveal the buttons and the wheel. It would have a cut out for the screen so you can see the screen when its shut. Then when you flip it open there would be a pouch for extra micro sd cards on the inside of the...- EthanHarte
