I recently got a new soundcard, the Asus Xonar DG, and have been using the Dolby headphone mode while playing Skyrim. Just a week ago I've set up my headphone rig again (DT880 and Corda HA-1 mkII) and been using it with the Xonar DG. So after a session of Skyrim I still had the dolby headphone...

Hello everyone, I'm looking into a new portable source since the 2GB memory on my original Clip is getting annoyingly small. I've found some older Sony 8GB players(Sony NWZ-E354 and NWZ-S754) for a decent price and was wondering if anyone has some experience with either player, or if I'm lucky...

Hello everyone, as most of you I've been reading a lot on the massive portable headphone shootout before my purchase. In the end I went with the Soundmagic P30. I just received them today and noticed there's a clear unbalance right out of the box, as the left driver is clearly louder than the...

I've recently been looking for some quite affordable canalphones and just about made my decision to go for Creative EP-630 when I came across a newly released contender from Cresyn: LMX-E630 . Anyone got some (p)reviews or additional info about these?

I've had my CD1700 for a year now and the earpads are getting a bit too compressed for comfort during longer sessions. Since the earpads can't be found for sale anymore I was wondering if anyone had success using pads from another headphone on the CD1700 without any bigger impact on the sound?

I'm currently using the CD1700 which I find to be a fun and a quite enjoyable headphone, but sometimes I feel they can lack a bit in detail and instrumental/vocal separation. So reading a bit in the headphone review forum I find the descriptions of DT880 fairly intriguing, especially when...

I've spent a couple of hours during the past 2 days to (finally) find myself a good < $500 stationary cdplayer and have some impressions that might be useful for someone in a similar situation as me. The store I visited allowed me to use my own gear to audition the cdplayers (Meta42 and CD1700)...

I'm doing some research for a new stationary cd-player that will be purchased in a not too distant future. Now with all these new formats available I'm considering a "do-it-all" player with both DVD-A and SACD to go with redbook. The only player of that kind that is available in my vicinity...

I got home early today and with some spare time I spent it, yeah you guessed it, by listening to music, especially with my new pair of MS-1. So after a few hours of enjoying that I decided to buy some groceries. But before I went out I remembered I must have that classical "headphone hair" and...

Shopping online without a credit card sure can take its' time, but finally the MS-1 have arrived. I already have a pair of SR60 and the curiosity finally got the better of me, reading about how these have a great price/performance ratio. With both headphones using modded Senn pads and having...

I'm especially impressed by the headphone out, it almost matches my Meta42 through its' lineout. Having looked at the display quite a few times now, I think we need a petition to bring back the orange backlight Are there any other owners out there enjoying this player? I notice there have been...

I got a pair of E3c mailed to me today as an early birthday gift, and I've spent the entire day playing around with all these different tips. I got them from a local webshop that has a 30 day refund for $15 (probably the cost of a new fit-kit), which convinced me to go for it despite the rather...

I've recently been enjoying Evanscence and a couple of Linkin Park albums, and am looking for more that have a similar sound. Maybe someone here can point me to any other bands/albums that I should know of? I'm getting a pair of MS-1 soon and would really like to spoil them with this particular...

I currently own a pair of SR60 and have recently become more interested in rock after purchasing Evancence's album and listening more to Linkin Park. While the SR60 gives me plenty of enjoyable impact, I can't help but feel they are a bit rough around the edges sonically (and in build quality...

I've been totally addicted to Lighthouse family for the past 2 weeks, listening to their 3 albums all the time. If you don't know about them, read more here where you can actually listen to their newest album. The funny thing is I heard them for the first time 4 years ago, as my sis bought me...

Being an owner of a fairly new PCDP and having tested a few others that sound pretty good I can't help but wonder about a conclusion that is commonly accepted here: Current PCDP suck. So I gather there must be a lot of people that have tried a bunch of new PCDP of a wide variety of brands that...

I've had the CD1700 for a couple of weeks and I'm fully enjoying them every day, especially with the AD8620 Meta42 that works great with the warm nature of the CD1700. Since they're discontinued I rarely see anyone talk about these anymore, so out of curiosity I was wondering how many of you...

I got the Meta42 that I ordered from tigger today and been playing around with it playing different songs. First I went through 2 songs from my current favorite album with acoustic guitar (check my thread in the music forum a couple of days ago). And although I really enjoyed the sound I wasn't...

I was downtown walking past one of the central squares, when I saw someone setting up some speakers and had a guitar with him. So out of curiosity I decided to stop and see what he was about to play, frankly not expecting a lot. But when he got going it was really good, so good I stayed for 5...

Yes this does have to do with headphones I've just got the Grado SR60 today and I find the bass a bit too boomy using the comfy pads or the Senn pads without modding. So I have these funky yellow Sennheiser pads and to mod them you put a hole the size of a quarter in the middle, but the thing...

Hey everyone. I've recently bought a pair of CD1700 from a head-fi member and been throwing all kinds of music at them and they've yet to disappoint. A few days ago I borrowed some CD:s from the library and amongst them was an album I had no idea what would be offered once I push that play...

Hey everyone. I'm looking through all kinds of info before purchasing my first amp and it's a real jungle out there. I've at least managed to cut it down to 2 options, a Meta42 (at least daily transportable) or a supermini V6. But since it's really hard to get a good idea of how good a Meta42...

I'm currently reading up on amps and right now I'm considering a Meta42 for a near future purchase/DIY. One thing I'm looking for is a flexible amp, that is with the possibility to change the amp itself for different sonic characteristics and changing the gain to be more suitable for the...

I've recently read a bit about this pcdp and it's one of very few models that seems to be considered good both out of line-out and headphone jack that can still be found fairly easily in Europe. That makes me wonder how the Sony D-FJ401 compares with other discontinued models like the Pana...

A couple of days ago I went to my local library and saw some cd:s that I could borrow free of charge. So I flipped through them and brought home some I thought might be interesting. One of these CD:s are of a Swedish female singer named Dilba and she released an album 1996 that I think was...
