I'd like to use this in my living room rather than a (large) dedicated streamer + DAC - it's just to save on space. Amp power is not a factor as I will use a separate amp. Not interested in lots of features, just sound quality + ability to use with Amazon Music HD + dedicated line out for the...

What are people's experiences? I'd like to buy one of these, but I have Shure E500 earphones which are very sensitive to hiss.

I just want a small white or silver interconnect to link my amp to my iPod. Mini to mini. Any suggestions?

Is there any hacked software for this that will let me use it with iTunes?* *this may be a completely stupid question and the answer may be an obvious "no."

Does anyone have any technical knowledge of this? As I see it: - The volume on my iPod line-out is the same as from the headphone out set at 100%. - The iPod therefore does not have an internal amp; it has a volume attenuator. - At 100% volume, the volume attenuator will perform no function...

Can't get it to work. Can't get the red light to go on. What am I doing wrong? Brand new Duracell AAA batteries. The problem is that it isn't clear from the way the case is made which way in they go, and the batteries don't fit into their compartments in the same way they normally do with other...

These seem to be the most popular headphones and the most popular IEMs on the forum. Which do you prefer (assuming a quiet room to listen in, or it's the E500s hands down).

HD650s? (300 ohm impedence)?

Does removing the foam on the inside make a difference? Is there anyone from a scientific background who knows one way or the other how sound is affected if it passes through foam? Please only answer if you're able to give a technical answer - no "OMG OMG I REMOVED TEH FOAM AND IT LIFTED TEH...

What do you think? Anyone who's listened to the W5000s and at least one of the other two. A few sets of W5000s have been sold on head-fi - why did people get rid of them?

I'd say the HE90s. Hope the HD700s (or whatever they are going to be called) duplicate the look.

I've just read the thread containing the revalation (sic) about how head-fi members are connoisseur's (sic) of music (in contrast to the common BOSE-listening plebs). After I finished, I had my own "revalation." Head-fi members generally don't like BOSE. BOSE-bashing threads are always well...

Does anyone know of a graphic equalizer which can completely eliminate certain frequencies? I'm trying to listen to some recorded lectures which are muffled by some background noise (air conditioning and other stuff) -I want to completely delete all frequencies, apart from a couple in the...

Anyone got any tips? I remember that pic of the cracked E500s so no use of force!

Which ones have a dedicated line-in?

Can anyone recommend an MP3 player?

Custom moulds or foam eartips?

...but, in terms of bitrate, when do you stop noticing a difference? I've heard that CD quality is overkill. Is there (be honest) a difference between 320kbps mp3 and Apple Lossless?
