I just had a quick demo on this earphone. I am um3x user since sep 2010. The moment I plug this in (Sansa Clip+) and play some tracks I usually listen to recently. The first impression I get was the bass was bloated. It sounded like the low is covering up the rest. Could the reason that my ear...

thank buddy! thats exactly what i am looking for! that case you mention was sweet at that price range. thank again :thumbsup:

Hi people,   I have been using Clip+ and UM3X on the go. Recently I purchase an iPhone 5 and get a case. The earphone jack does not fit into the iPhone due to the case. I wonder if anyone tried those slim case as mention on the web and manage to the earphone jack insert fully and tight. I...

Rockbox own it. =D I use the classic theme and the unifont-16. The chinese character display in the folder browsing was perfect but when I play a chines song which chinese tag, it can't display the character. meaning it show boxes. Does anyone encounter this?

Yesterday just got a 32GB Sandisk micro SD, I copy most of my song to it and I notice even more "folder merging" issue. Like folder name with ALBUM and ALBUMLESS is being merge as one. This is quite bothering to me as I get the clip+ mainly for its folder browsing capability.

My bad for not mention it. It is running the original Sansa Clip+ 01.02.15.

I have 3 subfolder in a folder. The 3 subfolder is being name as following:   Naruto I Naruto II Naruto III   However, when I use the folder browsing it only appear Naruto III and all the song in Naruto I and Naruto II is being merge with together in one folder. Does anyone encounter...

Hello everyone. I was thinking to move a little step up. I am still deciding whether to upgrade my speaker cable or interconnect. Which of the component I change benefit most and what should I get? My current setup is: Laptop(USB)/Dekstop(Optical)>Beresford TC-7520>Blue Jeans Cable...

HD media player Nowadays HD media player is on the market selling at a reasonable price. Most of them have built in S/PDIF digital out. List of some HD media player. How is the sound quality compare to a desktop with S/PDIF digital out and using foobar2000(WASAPI)? They are small in size and...

Thanks for your input. How about the speaker stand as I mention on my first post. I don't decide to put my speaker on the desk.

I currently have a dac connected to my desktop pc. I need a passive speaker. Prefer bookshelf speaker sitting on a speaker stand and an amp to drive it. My dac is able to work as a preamp so power amp is acceptable too. This price include a decent rca cable and speaker cord.

thnx for all the input. I believe is some third party manufacturer that do it. Or maybe cardas do it? =D Btw, how about the "head" pad, do senn sell it?

Hi head fier, As I was browsing cardas audio website, I came across a picture from the web. Any idea where can I get one of those on hand?

Thanks everyone for chipping in all the information about this issue I have. After reading the information you people given me, I have come to a solution to test out whether Apple Lossless is closer to CD quality then WAVE. I will be using my netbook as the source instead of using the shop owner...

The Apple Lossless is closer to CD quality. So if the 3 software change to the same, the out come will be Apple Lossless still leading?

I recently went to one audio store to collect my DAC/AMP. Me and the store tender start chit chating about audio stuff. We came to a point talking about computer as source. He told me that he prefer Apple Lossless to WAVE. I ask him why and he told me that Apple Lossless is 90% of a CD quality...

Look like a good deal to me. Is this little baby able to drive those power hunger headphone like K701 and HD 650?

I am looking for a DAC < USD$250. I my first choice was 09ZERO DAC. But after doing some research, it shown that 09ZERO DAC have some quality issue. This is my first time buying DAC for my PC so I don't wish to have too much problem. The next DAC I was look at is the Beresford TC-7520. It look...
