Okay theres been many rumors around about the differences between the 5th/5.5 gens to the 6th gen ipods .I have to know whats tru and whats hearsay so i can make a descision on whether to keep my 6th gen or not. 1. Ive heard the 5th and 5.5 gen use the superior Wolfson DAC to a cirrus DAC in...

Hey guys, Recently caved and bought an iPod full well knowing thier audio quality is not up to snuff. So, that being said, is the Wadia iTransport the only way to properly bypass the iPod DAC so that you may properly convert to analog via a descent DAC. Also, i have a few questions about LODs...

Hey guys was hoping to get some input on what skins or cases worked best for you. Im not looking to spend a ton but I pay for what i get so if its quality i expect to pay more. A link on a place to pick one up or a link to a FS would be appreciated if you could if not thats fine too. I just got...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey there guys, been a dedicated FLAC listener on my COWON x5 for a while now but recently broke down and bought a 120GB 6th gen ipod. Found out that they are not supported yet on rockbox or ipodlinux so i have...

Hi there, does anyone know of any firmware or software loadings for the 6th gen ipod for FLAC support?? I much prefer FLAC to 320mp3 and am curious if this will ever be supported on my ipod :P

Hi there guys, i recently purchased a set of UE SuperFi's only to find the medium tips they come with dont fit me well at all. I would like to think the triflanges work best as an overall tip but i dont know since i havent used them before. That being said, will the triflanges from ety fit on a...

Hi there guys, Currently ill give you my used opinions and maybe someone can suggest an IEM from there. AKG Sextetts/Studios - Great balance and neutrality across the freq range, not lacking in any area but not particularly shining in any area. Very comfortable Sennheiser 5xx Series - Bassy...

Looking for someone with some DIY exp to swap out my x5 battery for me. I know this is sort of ironic to post for hires in a DIY forum but i really dont know where else to go as ive tried several times in other forums. I live in sw ontario in canada and i know theres gotta be 100 people that...

Hi there guys i purchased a replacement oem battery for my cowon x5 a while back but havent gotten around to throwing it in. couple reasons, 1 being that im lazy and i procrastinate. 2 being that it involves soldering which i havent done since high school and im not confident that i wont drop...

Anyone in the NY area interested in putting something together in the Buffalo area??

Hi there guys. I often buy online and when getting into portable rigs this place seemed to be the best and had a good rep. However, out of the 4 purchases ive made on the for sale forums, ive now been mislead in 2 purchases. Wether the items were misdiscribed or purposfully trying to scam me im...

Did not realize they were differently designed cans. I like the look of the ones on headroom better but i dont know if they sound different or better. Im looking into a pair that seems to be the 770pros, seeing as how i can get either for similar pricing im curious which performs better. or if...

His there anyone on here that has sucessfully replaced their cowon x5 battery before and would feel comfortable in doing it again with someone elses for a small fee?? I bought the battery off ebay, i hope it is okay. to tell you the truth i have no idea cuz i havent looked at it. It claimed...

Hi there guys, wondering about your experiences attempting to pair a set of cans with the x5 HPO for best SQ, darkest background. Im going to try the x5 LO with a Silver LOD and LDM+ but i dont think its going to work out but we'll see, cables should be here mid week and ill let you guys know...

Hey there guys, as im sure your all aware. Many have claimed problems with the LO on the x5. Not sure wether my new LOD will solve the problem or not. However, if my amped LOD doesnt seem to make any difference in the sound, im going to have to start looking for a pair of cans that can be...

Hi there guys, looking for FLACS for my newly aquired Iaudio X5. Please pm me. ALSO looking for someone with experience with the x5 and its settings. Im trying to set up my DAP for ideal SQ, right now i have all the bbe and mech bass set to off as well as all other features and set up my EQ to...

Hey guys, have a pair of sr-80s that are going on me, was looking at the ms-1s and some tell me they are modded 125s. Even sr80s cost as much as the ms-1s cost now. How does this guy stay in buisness if he sells these for so cheap? Perhaps he gets a ridiculous discount? Does he use used cans...

Hi there guys, two part thread here. Looking for those of you alive or well versed in the rock that came out of the 60s and 70s, IMO the two best decades of music ever and nothing has come close to touching them. Im currently looking to expand my CD collection or Vinyl with as much of high SQ...

Has anybody had experience with these headphones? I have a pair of these as well as a pair of the studio series 240s in my recording studio. Very neutral sounding to my ear. Anyhow, i was thinking why not compare them to the allesandro ms2s but then when i hooked them up to my portable rig, i...

Hey there guys. I just purchased a FLAC playing cowon x5. Before I ruin all my good sacd/xrcd etc by ripping them with some crappy trial conversion/ripping program id like to get some software opinions from you guys. sorry if this is the wrong forum but i looked through and aside from computer...

Hey guys im not sure how the last meet went at the reference library, but there seemd to be alot of interest. Id love to try and get people interested in another, help would really be necessary for me to organize it since im not really in contact with many companies so i'd have to get some info...
