Thank you for the help, makes things a lot easier.

Thanks! So if I were to import one from japan do I just need to buy an AC adapter with an EU plug or do i also need a 230v-110v transformer?

Hey people, In the product manual it says you're not supposed to use 3rd party ac adapters. Is this really a problem or does fostex just say that for legal reasons?

Did you test the balanced output of the Q5? I expect it to give the same improvements as the X7ii because they use the same amp modules.

Thank you for the information! I have a few questions if you don't mind: - Does the usb dac function support all sample rates? I didn't see a windows driver. - Do you have any idea what the output impedance of the headphone output is? - Do you still not rec the alien+ even though it plays more...

Well I was able to demo the x5 iii and x7 ii at my local store and while I liked the musicality of the x5 I found it a bit too laid back and not dynamic enough. The x7 on the other hand sounded stunningly neutral with nice dynamic bass but I miss some of that AKM musicality. Now I would like to...

I see, but does that mean that the Explorer is not going to work for me?

Hi peoplez of head-fi   I'm thinking about getting a Meridian Explorer for my AD900X cans because I can get one for really cheap and it has some amazingly positive reviews. The only potential problem I have encountered is that the Explorer has an output impedance of 5 ohm and that may be a tad...

I'm currently using a Xonar DGX soundcard in combination with a Sennheiser PC 360 headset. 1. Will I notice an improvement in sound quality when I upgrade to an Audioquest DragonFly v1.2 usb dac? 2. Will I be able to use my motherboard (or soundcard) microphone port in combination with the...
