Also, my 64gb Sandisk card is exFat and not FAT32. But I don't see a format option for FAT32. Appreciate help on this too.   Best,   Ed

Hi,   Just purchased X3 with FW1.23EN. I installed 64gb Sandisk card. Here's where I need assistance- I am baffled a bit  upgrading firmware to 2.05. I have successfully downloaded the firmware zip file from the FIIO but unsure where to put the zip file or unzipped file (x3.fw) or what to do...

I just purchased new in box TDK-BA200 and contents included 2 sets of Comply tips: 1pr. Ts100 Comfort and 1pr. Tx-100 Isolation. I am trying out the Ts100 Comfort pair first. I find them to be excellent. Very comfortable fit with a perfect seal. The Ts100 Comfort pair look to be slightly smaller...

I have been using the LD MKV and AKG 701 for several months with excellent results. MKV powers the AKG 701 just fine. The combination is breathtakingly realistic - especially with well recorded live music.

I'm a few weeks late on an update to my previous review but when I saw Oldson's request for a interconnect and power cord recommendation I decided to post. I purchased the MK V, PS Audio .5 meter Transcendent interconnect and PS Audio Power Punch power cord at the same time to use with my AKG...

I'm using a PS Audio Powerpunch with my MK V. I'm very pleased with the results. One meter for $49. Take a look at this review: psaudiopowerpunch Needs a good 300+ hours of burn-in. Which I find the norm for power cords.

Penchum, Thanks for the great review of the LD MKV. It convinced me to purchase one to use with my AKG 701s The LD MKV replaces an RSA Hornet I was using in the home system. I was happy with the RSA Hornet but wanted to see what a true home amplifier could do to punch up the sound a bit. I...

I'm still interested in hearing from anyone using the MK V with my AKG 701. I'd be looking to to use the MK V in place of RSA Hornet in my home system. Any comments on MK V vs. Hornet would be helpful too.

I already own an RSA Hornet for use with my portable setup: Shure e4c and IPOD. I'm looking to purchase W5000s for my home system and use the Hornet with them. I have a high-end outboard DAC in my home system. Will the RSA Hornet partner well with the W5000s? My understanding from...

GregBe, AT AD2000s sound like an interesting option. Did you have an opportunity to hear them with the RSA Hornet? I would hope the combo would perform well together. Also, the AT AD2000s seem to be in limited distribution. Can you suggest a few online vendors that sell the AT AD2000s...

agile_one, Thanks for responding with your advice. From the street prices available, it looks like the Sony 5000sell for about $100+ more than the AKG 701. Do you feel in my application that the extra $100 for the Sony's wil be well worth it? I have no problem making that investment if you...

I currently use my RSA Hornet with my IPOD and Shure e4s. Which is fine for portable use. I would like to use the RSA Hornet with a set of full size headphones (I don't own any) off my primary home audio system. Here's what I have: The transport is a Mac Mini with CDs encoded Apple Lossless...

The Duke of Eli, Thanks for the offer to test out the combo at the Toronto meet. Can't wait to read about it! Ed

Before you think I'm out of mind, I am seriously looking at upgrading from the E3C to a better IEM like UE Super.fi 5pro or possibly a sealed headphone like AKG K271 studio. These headphones would be strickly used with the IPOD. I need isolation and low leakage for riding the train. But...

Thanks for everyone's input. I might just have to try both the Sony and AKG as suggested to find my preference. Ed

Purgatos, Thanks for the link. Answered most of my questions. The thread read like a novel with a surprise ending! Ed

Xaipenw, Thanks for your response. I did do a forum search and found a lot of reviews of each individually but not a direct comparison of the two. I hope someone can help in that regard. Ed

I'm interested in purchasing one or the other of these two headphones without prior listening experience. I would therefore like to get as complete a sonic impression of each and how they compare. How do they match up in terms of neutrality, resolution, balance of bass, mids and highs, and...
