Looking to organize my extensive digital music library; what's the best all in one software solution out there (paid or free) that does the following: - Tracks down and updates music tracks and albums with album art - Tracks down, edits, manages and updates music tracks and album metadata/tags...

I currently own an Onkyo DP-X1A digital audio player, and I'm looking to upgrade it as the battery isn't holding much of a charge anymore and the hardware is definitely showing its age. 1) Is there a current portable DAP on the market today that would be considered the DP-X1A's equal? 2) What...

The venerable DP-X1A was released almost five years ago; is the Onkyo DP-1XA still a viable DAP in 2021, or has it been eclipsed by DAPs that do it better for less? And if there are cheaper DAPs that do it better than the DP-X1A, what are some examples?

Yes, it’s true. I’ve had the DP-1XA for some time now, and frankly, I don’t enjoy using it. Maybe it’s too “high speed” for me, maybe it’s the finicky Android OS and GUI, but when I’m on the road, I’m finding myself leaving this DAP at home more often than not. A travesty, you say? Perhaps. At...

I bought an Onkyo DP-X1A in August of last year, and after several months of use, I can say that I am not really fond of it. That said, I am looking to replace it with something else. 1) What would be a comparable digital audio player to the Onkyo DP-X1A? 2) What would be the logical step up...

I recently purchased an E17K Alpen 2 for use with my Onkyo DP-X1A DAP and have a couple of questions. 1) What is the latest firmware version for the E17K? The version on my device is E17KV01. Is this the most current version? 2) While listening to music via the AUX input on the E17K with my...

I'm looking to sell a pair of UE TripleFi 10 IEMs that are brand new in the box, never opened, never used. What would be a good asking price to list them at? I did check eBay and the prices seem to fluctuate quite a bit. Was hoping the good folks here at HeadFi would be able to provide some...

Does anyone know of any alternatives to the E17K Alpen 2 by FiiO? Looking to see what other products exist on the market that can go head to head with the E17K. If you're not familiar with the E17K, link to product info is below: http://www.fiio.net/en/products/38

I own an Onkyo DP-X1A, and really enjoy the native music app that comes with it (Onkyo Music) and wish to stick with it. However, this app does not include bass boost or treble adjustments, or an option to adjust reverb and surround. Is there a portable solution that will allow me to fine tune...

I am looking to move on from my aging UE TF10 IEMs. What IEM today would be the closest equivalent to what the TF10 was in its heyday? And with that, what IEM would be a reasonable upgrade to the TF10 given the same price point of the TF10 back in the day?

I have an Onkyo DP-X1A and a pair of UE TripleFi 10 IEMs, which are rated at 32ohm. Would I benefit from pairing the DP-X1A with a portable amp? Why or why not. And if so, what would a good amp choice be for around $500?

I'm looking to pair my Onkyo DP-X1A with a portable headphone amp. I am using a pair of UE TripeFi 10's with my DP-X1A. I listen to a lot of EDM primarily (trance, dubsetp, chillstep, etc.), so good bass representation/reproduction is important to me. 1) Do I even need a headphone amp if I'm...

I own an Onkyo DP-X1A and I'm interested in switching out the headphone cable on my IEMs for a 2.5mm 4-pole balanced cable to use with the player. The stock cable that came with my IEMs (UE TripleFi 10) uses a 3.5mm connector. Should I switch out the 3.5mm cable on my IEMs for a 2.5mm 4-pole...

What's everyone using as their go to music player for your Android-based device? Are there specific music player apps that everyone recognizes as being the "best"? Generally speaking, I am looking to see what options exist for music player apps with EQ and bass boost for Android-based devices...

Hey all. I've been wearing glasses since I was five, and since getting into audio, I've always used IEMs as my preferred choice of headphones. Much of this is due to the fact that over the ear and on ear cans kill my ears because the headphones painfully push my ears against the ear pieces of...

Does anyone have any insight on how to import custom EQ settings into the Onkyo DP-X1A DAP? I'd like to be able to create custom EQ profiles on my PC and import them into my player. How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

I'm looking for help setting up my EQ to maximize the bass from my music. I listen to quite a bit of EDM, and was hoping that those with this DAP wouldn't mind sharing their favorite EQ settings that allowed the bass to really shine without taking anything away from the rest of the music.

I own a pair of UE TripleFi10 IEMs. How do I know if these are balanced or not? And if they aren't balanced, is there a way to modify them so that they are?

I have an aging Creative Zen Vision M that I'm thinking of retiring. Is this unit worth using still or is it time to upgrade/replace it? Using a pair of TripleFi 10 IEMs as my go to headphones. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Hi all. I have a Creative Zen Vision:M paired with a set of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10. For the best music experience on the go (more detail/nuance out of my music and less hissing/background noise), do I need a DAC, an amp, or both? Maybe something else? What solution, if any, do you recommend...

While shopping for a new PC gaming headset, I've come across a lot of different technologies and different ways to use them to get the best sound of your games. Being the clueless soul I am, maybe you guys (and gals!) can help me out here:   1) Do all headphones support Dolby Headphone...
