Speaking of wrong, I do believe that a lot (not saying millions) of people are wrong. Following the trends blindly, not actually taking into account alternatives just because they are not made by Apple. I know such people and I'd love to show them that there are better products out there, but...

I trust my ears more than a $10k analyzer. True story.

I've owned a 5.5G for some time now, used it with an amp 90% of the time. It's not the smallest DAP out there by any means so I didn't feel like destroying iPod's "unique selling point" by strapping an amp to its back. Besides, I must say, it sounded pretty damn good with external amplification...

Yeah, I still have it. It's really more of a question of whether I can fix it without sending it all the way to US. Maybe somewhere in europe, since I believe you can have the UE customs done in europe.

Not sure where to post this really, but here we go... I've broken my right ear off my Ultimate Ears earphones (haha ). I'm not too excited about it, really. Where can I fix those, provided that I'm currently in UK? Cheers.

It's not a proper lineout anyway, so you'll have stick to the headphone jack...

I've always been cautious about all the headphone mods - it's actually interfering with the years of experience the headphone companies have... And opening a closed headphone (or closing an open one, for that matter) seems pretty extreme to me...

I pretty much second opinions on getting a decent desktop amp for your Senns. There is no doubt that a Predator or a Pico will drive them decently, however, I doubt that it's really worth investing in a new portable amp since you already own a Tomahawk (which is a very nice portable amp)...

I'm sorry if I'm getting a little off-topic here, but everytime someone asks for advice on gaming headphones, I tend to think they are looking for a decent headset that has a microphone for online communications. Or maybe I just play wrong games

Ok, next time I clean my ears, I'll let you all see how much wax I got

I thought I'd post another one, if you don't mind. Enjoy!

IMO, any cans are uncomfortable in bed, as you can only relax when you're on your back, so I would go for an IEM, but, of course, it's totally your call. I usually have ESW9s on while falling asleep, and even though they aren't the slimmest pair of cans around, I can't fall asleep while I'm on...

What about the money you are willing to spend?

The Predator is finally here, and it's a bit smaller than I thought it would be My rig is complete for the time being, all I need is some burn-in time on that little bad-ass amp to be truly happy.

Absolutely fantastic, without support for losless files But anyhow, it's just a pile of good wood and shiny gold, with a few circuts accidentally jammed inside...

All Rockboxed DAPs are capable of it...

Cowon makes great great DAPs, and these price cuts just make them better. Bravo, Cowon!

My Cowon A2 has the exact same problem at the moment, and although I currently use an 5.5G iPod as the source, I'm thinking about fixing Cowon in near future.
