Hi all! The Etymotic ER4P (or S) is definately not to everyone's liking, and is certainly not perfect. People have different tastes - which is why I want to limit this question to people who have extensively used the ER4 and didn't just like it, they loved it. I love the ER-4P (tried the...

now available to buy from audiocubes, just fyi. http://www.audiocubes.com/product/To...P3_Player.html They sure look pleasant, at least. Thats always been the gigabeat's strong suit. nice 320x240 screen - and the 60gb could fit a lot of .wavs. now if only I knew how they sounded...

Saw this in the most recent perreaux newsletter - some tech details now available, but no release date as far as I could see: http://www.perreaux.com/files/silhou...eries_sxd2.pdf Any of you electronics fiends care to take a look at the ingredients (per last page in pdf) and draw some...

Hey all, A month or so ago, I decided to resist the temptation of the EMU 1212M for the greater prize of the upcoming Perreaux SXD-1 USB DAC, with perreaux dangling the carrot of a June release date. Sadly, word from Perreaux is that the project has had to take a back seat to other works, and...

Hey All, When using a DAC with a USB interface (eg the PACE, upcoming Perreaux SXD, etc) on a PC, is the PC's soundcard completely irrelevant, or does it still have a role to play in the digital output? If it does play a role, to what extent can I expect differences between soundcards...

Hey All, Looks like i'm gonna jump on the "flavour of the month" team and buy an emu 1212m - which, by all accounts, should be a healthy step up over my existing PC gear (Creative's SB Live! 5.1 PCI, and Audigy 2 NX USB external). 'bout time I got a half decent digital source. My concern...

Aloha all, I've noticed that I don't seem to get that much advantage driving my Alessando MS-2's amped (by my well spec'd PPA) over unamped - perhaps because the MS-2's are low resistance (32ohm). Same deal with my Grado SR-60's (still love 'em both!). Does anyone know if rasing impedance...

Recently got a new Sharp DR7 MD w/Ety ER-4P's and I'm finding something missing... I'm looking for bigger and better ulta-portable sound, and both Xin's SuperMicro and Meier's Porta Corda look like the business - the micro having the definate edge on the size front, but the porta corda...

Aloha - Old Father Time has taken a bat to my ageing Sharp MiniDisc recorder, and it's time to get a new portable. 1. The single biggest limitation of MD for me is in getting new digital content onto the device painlessly on a very regular basis (eg several times a day, when neccessary)...
