    Cheap DAP- SQ not an issue

    I know this sounds counterintuitive to post this hear, but my meizu DAP crapped out on me after 6 years of service. I want to get a cheap but reliable DAP just for listening to podcasts. I'm using my wife's slicK mp3 player which is OK, but a bit hard to navigate. I'm looking to spend no more...

    samsung galaxy player 4.0 + voodoo control + power amp??

    I was thinking about getting the samsung galaxy s phone and adding the two above apps to it.  But then I found out that the samsung galaxy player 4.0 has a wolfson chip in it.  Is it possible to add these apps to this player? or are apps only for phones??   sorry for my newbieism...

    Which remastered Exodus album should I get?

    I am contemplating getting one of these remastered "Pleasures of the Flesh" albums.   I tried joining the exodus fan site but was never accepted (?!), so I'm wondering if anyone has any of the following Cds.  Even though it's not listed, the 1999 Century Media disc is remastered as part of the...

    leather "case" for portable amp?

    Just got a beautiful Leckerton portable amp and would love to preserve this amp the best I can.  My first amp years ago had a leather strip that ran around the body of the amp but did not cover the front or back (where the input/outputs are) and had a had a velcro strap for it too.  I sold it...

    Review: Leckerton UHA-6

      I’ve been on this website for a little while and have read many of your guys’ portable amp reviews and decided after purchasing my own, it was time to give back to the community with a review of my own. *Note, that I have the Leckerton UHA-6 and not the UHA-6S which has a bunch of bells...

    4" or 6" interconnects?

    Hi,   Just bought a leckerton portable amp and need a small interconnect cable to connect it to my Meizu DAP.  I want the shortest connection possible and I think that is a 4"?  or is 6" standard?  I'm looking for one that is relatively cheap (up to $20 since I don't believe in cables...

    having your cake and being able to eat it too

      (btw, my source is always FLAC, WAV or the CD itself)   I have a Meizu DAP and the D2000.  I've always loved my Meizu DAP player.  I compared it against a friend's Sony DAP, the Ipod shuffle and another company's DAP I bought when I was in Japan (can’t remember the name) and the Meizu...

    soldering your own cable

    Hi, I have the Denon 2000's and for about a year now I've a had a bad connection towards the part of the wire that meets the 1/8 jack. I have to wiggle it around in order to get a steady connection. I would like to fix this but have never done so before so I was wondering if there is some kind...

    calling metalheads, I think...

    Hi, I'd appreciate it if you'd check out this article I wrote for squidoo. It's not meant primarily for metalheads, but since Malevolent Creation is the sample I'm using as an example in the article, I thought metalheads might be more interested in it than the non-metalhead. thanks How...

    D2000 lost their sibilance?

    I used to have an issue with my D2000 with their nature to accent sibilant passages of music, but I just realized that I don't think I hear sibilance anymore. I've just been enjoying the music and realized that it's not there....or at least I don't hear it anymore??!! Whether it's actually...

    set music for picking headphones?

    I guess this thread could be put into the amp section as well.. Is there anyone here, when trying out a set of cans or any other equipent in a set-up, who purposely uses a specific song/album in hopes of changing the original sound of recording when trying out new equipment? For example, if...

    hi-fi boomboxes?

    I have some Denon 2000 headphones which I absolutely love. I just finished moving, and don't have the cash to buy a complete loudspeaker/amp home set up so I was thinking that I would love to have a hi-fi boombox where I could my put my Meizu MP3 player into and play through the speakers...

    how would YOU describe this?

    As we all know, sound is something that’s very subjective. One person’s crisp, tight treble is another’s blanketed, rolled-off high end. (Please note when I mention guitars, I am ONLY talking about guitars using distortion) I was wondering about the definitions of some of the terms in the...

    Re-cabling faq?

    I used to think that the idea of a cable affecting the sound was simply ridiculous, but after hearing the opinions of some people here I trust, (Headphone addict, pataburd, etc) I figured I had to look into this. I searched but couldn't find anything more than tidbits here and there. I want to...

    My review D2000

    This is pretty long so unless you have some time on your hands… Let me say first that I’ve been trying out cans for about 5 months continually before deciding on these. I think I tried on just about every can mentioned here with the exception of a few (Stax and Grado, they’re might be a few...

    What's your burn-in story?

    I hope this post doesn't stir up too much trouble... I'd like to hear from anyone who believes that burning in a set of cans is not a myth. Specifically, what you thought of the cans when you first bought them and when did you notice the burn-in (at how many hours) and what did you notice...

    just bought M3 Meizu music card

    I want to thank Rob E. who suggested the M3 in an earlier post of mine regarding the EQ on DAPs. I couldn't be happier with my M3 so far. It has such a range of SQ boosting options, I'm simply floored and I have to say that I am VERY picky when it comes to sound. I can't wait to sit down and...

    Which has the most influence in SQ?

    Not to steal Anoobis' "weak link in set-up" thread, but it got me to thinking. For people who have the 3 devices in their set-up, DAP, amp, and cans, how much of each of them attribute to the SQ that reaches our ears? If I had to take a guess, I'd say DAP-15% Amp-25% Headphones-60%...
