Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears
256kbps AAC is nothing to sneeze at in terms of audio fidelity. It needs pretty good fixed setups to be differentiable against the original sources in blind tests. So I don't think AAC is a limiting factor for sound quality today on portable wireless headphones which are designed around low...- chong

Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears
The PCMag reviewer had feedback the sensor issues to B&W and was given a second pair, which also had the same issues. B&W then replied that a planned software (firmware?) update is coming to improve the sensor behavior, so let's wait and see.- chong

iFi Audio iOne official thread - There can be only one!
I was hoping that iFi iOne can output decoded DSD as PCM via spdif. With my current setup, I don't get sound when playing DSD files via my PC or NAS. This is how I connect the iOne: PC/NAS USB -> iOne USB-in iOne coaxial SPDIF-out -> Tascam interface SPDIF-in Tascam interface balanced out ->...- chong

Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread
To me the audio quality on YouTube can be pretty decent once u select the higher quality 720p or 1080p streams. There's also a good variety of official MTVs and music playlists to pick from, and it's a good way to get exposure to artists I haven't heard about. If I like a song but it's not in...- chong

Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread
Had this for a week and pretty satisfied with the overall sound quality. However there's excessive boomy bass. I can EQ it down in PowerAmp music player, but that approach cannot work for every app (eg. YouTube).- chong

iFi Audio iOne official thread - There can be only one!
Hi iFi, Can you guys add audio output for DSD files via coaxial out? Currently the iOne is connected via coaxial out to my sound system. When playing DSD files, there is only sound via analog RCA, but not coaxial.- chong

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread
Just a heads up: I've confirmed with BeoPlay support via email that the H6 do not come with a cloth bag. Seems like only the newer H6 stocks are affected by this, as an older H6 gen2 I had still came with it. Coincidentally, there's a few reports over at the H7 thread of the recently...- chong

Sony MDR-1000X
I heard the same creaking with the 1000X at a Sony shop by simply opening and closing my mouth. It sounded like plastic rubbing against each other, which I'd not find acceptable in this price range. I could even replicate it by holding the set and twisting the earcups. The salesperson claimed...- chong

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread
Just received my H6 gen2 and it sounds fine through a quick listen. However the sliding headband mechanism does not feel right - The Right side has a tight slide with even resistance through the entire adjustment, but the Left side is much looser and has uneven resistance. Did I get a lemon?- chong
