Got mine back in august 2013. they've held up quite well considering the hours of yardwork and gym time they have been exposed to.

Did a little de-construction of my m200. My right earpiece was intermittently giving out on the smaller driver and curiosity got the best of me.... do NOT try unless you are a Necromancer! The black and aluminum pieces are separated, exposing the bass driver Removing bass driver to visualize...

thank you for this giveaway!     massdrop user: bigfullz   would like to see: iFi products

1) 109,345 2) 107,532 3) 102,789

 what tips are those?  

  ok, davescleveland and willyvlyminck, i am intrigued!!  but would you guys enlighten us a bit more since the app store description is just some marketing fluff?  also, there is only one review (i think its you dave?) and i haven't seen any specific information on functionality, design, music...

Yes, upsampling is on, and mostly hi res FLAC. And the maximum/minimum amplitude for the EQ is +/- 12db. I'll experiment further to discern if sacrificing 2 bits is worth hitting the sweet spot for the amp. Thanks!

i have a quick scenario i have been playing with, would appreciate any thoughts!   using Onkyo HF player on iPhone 6plus out to micro iDSD with Noble K10U.     after reading back on page 274 about volume matching, i thought i would experiment with trying to get the volume pot between 12 and...

I definitely agree with the k10s ability to scale! While I am plenty happy with the k10 straight out of theiPhone 6plus, it does seem to reach another level with the iFi micro iDSD. Even further, it has allowed me to detect nuances of different sources more easily. Basically, I find myself...

LOL!!  sorry about that, now i can cross off "break the internet" from my bucket list...    seriously though, these k10s are just sublime.  HUGE thank you to Dr. Moulton, Brannan, and the rest of Noble Audio for crafting such an amazing IEM!!     and another HUGE thank you to everyone on...

I finally got my k10u's!!!!  First listen, i was like...     after a few more tracks, i was like...       i settled down and eventually was like...       THEN, i plugged into my iFi micro iDSD, and i was like...  

These are the most secure In Ears I have owned. Those ear hooks are fantastic for excercise and yard work! AND I don't have to compromise sound quality for some crappy "sport" model with lime green, electric blue, neon orange, etc....

I bought the m200s back in aug 2013 (full price) and am still a happy owner. I have tried to part with them a couple times, even took pics, but giving them "just one more listen"... what was supposed to be a farewell, ends up being a "welcome back!" Granted, i am fortunate, have zero issues...

Does this help explain a bit? So, a lightning cck (Camera Connector Kit) has a female usb on other end. Using the Onkyo app, for example, once hooked up to an external DAC, the audio from iPhone/iPad automatically passes through via lightning cck. Plug headphones into the external DAC and enjoy!

Hapster is right :thumbsup: However, if you do want to transfer FLAC to iPhone, you would plug in to iTunes normally, BUT you have to go into Apps section and find the Onkyo app. Then its simply drag and drop to the Onkyo app. Hope that helps! The onkyo app has a tutorial in the settings of the...

Oh, another appreciation for the Onkyo app: In the car! If you havent tricked out your system that is :wink: This is where I find EQ useful, and I like being able to save EQ profiles for each car. I think your standard/factory car audio definitely benefits from the nice EQ in the onkyo app vs...

A "night and day" difference? Prob not, however, a couple things to consider: - what headphones/IEMs are you using? A more revealing set will help convey those details/differences. - what bitrate are your music files? iPhone player is capped at Apple lossless 96kHz 16bit files. Onkyo will play...

I'll offer how I've used em... I dont use a case or a pouch, just coil up and throw in a pocket. Pretty much stay in my winter coat as I use them for shoveling snow and outdoor activity. Going on 3 months now and so far so good! My s4 has separated at strain relief, and my cx300 got yellow...

No sweat Zenbun :thumbsup: thats why i thought i would throw ljokerl's recommendation up. If THE man on IEMs thought they were a top recommendation, i figured thats a good place to start! Here's to the headfi journey :beers:

so, i stumbled upon this... ljokerl recommended the NuForce NE-600X (aka Monoprice Inverts) for the under $50 category here:   http://theheadphonelist.com/earphone-buyers-guide/

i posted about these in the Discovery thread, I like them quite a bit!  They seem to be a re brand of the NuForce NE 600x...    

So, it looks like the Monprice Inverts are also a rebrand of the NuForce NE 600x/m. https://www.nuforce.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=12&Itemid=197/index.php Even though they are bass heavy, still quite impressed with these!

Monoprice did it again! The new budget champ? Monoprice inverted driver (item #s:12235-12238): ~$14. Comes in 4 colors Thanks to dsnuts, I think most of us know about the Monprice 8320 (as well as its adjacent models) and its status here. So, could their brand new offering out do the "legend"...

:laughing: you have a point hapster! LOL!

Thanks hapster, that was very informative. All that in one post! Very concise, like I'm hoping my portable rig will be... Which has me thinking dx90 now. These iDevice amp/dacs all have dents in their armor, so maybe an audiophile player is the way to go. Thanks again :thumbsup:
