    Looking for a new DAC/AMP in the 200-300$ range, upgrading from a Zero

    Hi all,   I'm hoping to get some pointers to interesting candidates. It's been a long while since I've been in the market and I am completely out of touch. :)   I've had a Zero for 5 years now and its left channel's amp got broken. I got it fixed and it's dead again now, a few days after...

    Is the RoCoo BA for me?

    Hi all,   My beloved Cowon D2 has finally passed away (or not. it's in the shop, awaiting a replacement amp for one of its channels), and I am somewhat richer than when I had bought it many years ago, so it's time for a nice upgrade.   My portable phones are a pair of Ultimate Ears...

    Cowon D2 stereo jack troubles

    I've been using my trusty D2 (along with my TripleFi 10) for many years now, and it has finally failed me. When connecting the earphones' stereo jack and pushing it all the way through, I only get sound from one channel. When releasing it a bit to a half-stuck position it plays stereo again, but...

    Should I upgrade from Super. Fi 5 Pros to Triple. Fi 10s?

    Hello everyone,   I've been so happy with the purchases advised to me here that it's been a long while since I've visited! Unfortunately, after 4 years of joy, my Super. Fi 5 Pros are dead. Well, one of them is:   After the 3rd cable replacement, the latest one I got was slightly...

    Using a headphone amp to power stereo speakers

    I have a Zero amp that drives my Denons and does a great job at it, and I'm wondering whether I could use its excellent DAC function along with the amping to drive normal speakers. I'm in the market for 2.1 stereo speakers solely for music purposes (and some less important movie/tv use). I...

    Cowon D2 broken. Anything better exist yet?

    I apologize for the hit & run question, but I need a new player urgently and can't afford to wait. My D2's screen is cracked and has lost touch sensitivity in too many places, meaning it's now pretty much limited to randomly playing songs. I was very happy with it beforehand. I liked the...

    Replacement foams for my Super.Fi 5 Pros

    I tried looking around the forums, but I only ran into DIY stuff. My foam tips, which I can't live without, are now too worn out to be usable. I am using the double flanged tips for now, but I really miss the foams! The UE site advertises Comply Foams, but these seem ridiculously expensive...

    Help me replace my Creative Zen Touch

    Which died after quite a rough fall yesterday. I will attempt surgery tomorrow, but the odds are unfavorable. I used it on the go and mostly at the gym. I have the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pros. I listen to many genres, from high quality source files, but most important to me is sound...

    Mic-in problem with my M-Audio Revolution

    I have a weird problem. I connect a microphone to the mic-in plug, and actually see a response when making a sound, but I can neither hear it through the speakers nor record anything. What can be the problem?

    My new Denon AH-D2000s only play from the left phone?

    I just got these from in mail today, bought from eBay. I connected them to a few devices, and nothing I do changes the fact that only the left phone produces any sound. I connected them using the normal jack (without the larger adapter). Is is possible that I'm missing something or are they...

    Cleaning the UE Super.Fi 5 Pros - no liquids?

    I've searched around the forum for wax cleaning, and I'm hesitant to follow up on some advice. I have some wax stuck way inside the phones, beyond the reach of any cleaning device, with no way to pull it out. I read people suggesting to put them in water/peroxide/alcohol, but the user guide...

    A few amping questions. Please help me find what I need

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the Hi-Fi world, but I'm looking to make a full-headed plunge. I already have some nice stuff (HD280s, Super.Fi 5 Pro, M-Audio Revolution) and now I'm looking to join the big league. I've spent a lot of time reading in the last few days... First of all, I am...

    Upgrading from HD280s

    What are good headphones in the $250-450 range that aren't "3" for amp? I'm looking for closed headphones with a balanced range, good (but not overpowering) bass that I can feel inside my head, and a sound that's a bit "brighter" than my HD280s. I listen to many varied genres, but most...

    Difference between open and closed headphones?

    What are the pros and cons of each? I currently have closed headphones, which I guess are better for noise canceling (which is important for me, since I like immersion). Is there any other differentiating quality between closed and open phones?

    I have an M-Audio Revolution - Do I need an amp?

    I have an M-Audio Revolution 5.1, which is great - and I know it has a built in amp for the headphone output. I have the Sennheiser HD280s connected to it. Overall, I'm please with the sound, but my wallet's been growing in size lately and this looks like a good way to deflate it. The...

    UE Super.Fi 5 Pro problem: one side is... weaker?

    I bought these (based on recommendations I gathered here) last year and got them in November. I've been very happy with them since, aside from their tendency to gather up wax. I've recently noticed that one of the phones, the right one, is producing much weaker sound than the left one. I...

    Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 EB versus Pro

    Hello. I've been reading the forums over the last few days, trying to decide which IEMs I want to upgrade myself to. I currently have a cheap pair of in-ear Panasonic phones and HD280s for home listening (which I love). I have come down to a decision between the Super.Fi 5 EB and the Pro...
