    Official X7 beta firmware (Android 5.1) download and discussion thread -- FW3.0.6 beta

    I am still on FW 2. I use my X7 almost exclusively in Pure Music mode. Is there any benefit for that usage to the Beta 3.1? Any loss? Thanks for any thoughts.

    I just received my A5. The first screw was in very tight but it came out of the Am2. However, the second screw just would not move and I am afraid the socket for the screw driver is stripped. Anyone have any ideas for solutions other than taking it to a machine shop? Luckily if it ever comes out...

    Occassional problem detecting SACDs

    My Denon 1920 sometimes does not detect that the disk is an SACD. I can find nothing in the manual or on line about the problem. Has anyone else had this problem withe a player not recognizing that the disk is an SACD? It just plays it as a cd. It does detect most SACDs but it happens often...

    Digital Audio Player with Ogg Vorbis support

    Surprisingly the Palm LifeDrive PDA does. You need to add the driver to the bundled software but it works well.

    Amping the K701s

    I just picked up a Xin Supermacro IV to use with K701s. It is superb. Even has me reconsidering my long range plan to acquire a high end nonportable amp.

    Quality of Streaming Audio

    Does anyone know what the khz and Bitrate are on streaming audio from places like Yahoo Music or Musicmatch? Radio365 labels the bitrate and type of file but the others just claim CD Quality. If you buy a download do you get a fully lossless file or something else? They seem evasive to questions...

    AKG K 701 owner's thread

    I have had my 701s about a month and I am very satisfied. However, the cable has started to go into a permanent tangle mode. The tangles have memory and are as bad as any cable I can remember having. When I first received the phones I was pleased with the feel of the cable which seemed so soft...

    Roll Call for Team AKG

    My introduction headphones was in 1975 or 1976 with the, then, new K240s. I still have that set although I have had to resolder the wiring a couple of times. I decided I needed to replace them and was disappointed to find that the current model with that lable is different so I went ahead and...

    Hornet "M" and Micro Amp w/Desktop Mod - comparison

    thanks for the thoughtful and very helpful review. A numberr of forum members over the months have commented that the MicroAmp has a special synergy with K701s. Your findings seem to support that - slightly more bass lighter midrange to match the strong midrange of the K701s. I am a newbie so...

    Can someone guide me in setting up asio4all with fb2k?

    Here is a question I bet others wonder about as well. Why do we want to use ASIO4ALL? what does it do? Is it only for Foobar? I have installed it. The offline program runs and finds everything. Now what? I use media player and the Yahoo Music Jukebox. Do these use it? Really puzzeled

    RSA Hornet to Headroom Micro Amp Upgrade?

    Thank you. That was very helpful. I just got a MicroDac which I am using with a HeadFive amp. I had been using the TotalBithead alone and as the DAC for the Headfive. I hear a big difference. The HF with the MicroDac is cleaner, smoother and the soundstage seems a bit wider. Not surprising but...

    RSA Hornet to Headroom Micro Amp Upgrade?

    I notice you have both the Desktop and the Totalbithead. How much better is the Desktop than the TBH? I am sure there is a big difference but how great is it? Do they have a similar sound? I know this is a tough question but any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

    Newb Question.

    I am I correct in interpreting this to mean that we are really not balancing the headphones but are just making them ready to plug into a balanced amp by attaching the XLR plugs?
