Done with all the dynamic/static Shures. Done with Westone W80. Now enjoying Solaris (new back) and IER Z1 using AK SP2000. Wondering if there is ONE ultimate CLOSED IEMs that justify the purchase. Is Futura the bravest contender?

I was shopping for cables by DUNU and saw this beautiful DAP and I can't tell which one it is. Thanks

I have this question, is NW-WM1Z still a first line contender after all the surge of newer DAPs on the market? Is the fact that its price hasn't budged a dime really justified? I'm mostly after SQ and I love the Sony signature sound but I'm very hesitant to pay that much when AK SP2000 is a...

I need to order an upgrade cable for IEMs: U18T (universal). I need to place the order but it looks I have to choose between two connector types: 2pin 0.78 AND 2 pin QDC. The cable is expensive and I can't risk making the order without being 100% sure. I have not found anything in my research...

I can get the U18T for a very good price from Jaben Hong Kong. I need a grand sound. Ample soundstage and impressive bass and sub-bass and of course I love the sparkle in the highs. What would you guys recommend?I have IER Z1R and it's good with many DAPs but there's something about the mids. A...

I have M15 and Kann Alpha and they handle LCD XC very nicely but LCD XC is 20 ohms only. If I get the HD820, will it sound powered well with Alpha or M15 WITHOUT an additional amp in between?

Apart from the difference in size, is soundstage less in the new version? Are these IEMs good for Heavy Metal music?

I have used many Sony DAPs in the past and stopped at the flagship of 5 years ago: NW-ZX2 I very much rely on JetAudio and its internal accessory apps like AM3D / Crystalizer / Bonjiovi DPS besides the 20-band EQ. I have been relying on Samsung smart phones (S10/S20) but I can't tolerate the...

I intend to upgrade after a few years doing Shure SE846 / Westone W80. I'm torn between (UNIVERSAL) Kaiser Encore / U18T / Roxanne / ProMissionX / Sony IER M9 My crucial point is the biggest and best soundstage (in IMS's)

I would appreciate if you mentioned the very best based on your experience. Price is not an issue.   I have SE846 and I want to upgrade. I prefer hi volume output without the need for extra units (amps), very lush sound overall and finer details. Analytical no problem. Sound signature of the...

I have UE Custom 11. Ears changed a bit as I lost a lotta weight and cans are leaking. Have had it with custom drama. Need a solid universal on grounds of SQ first and last. I have Senns IE800, Shure SE846. The former is TOO low; the latter has a very strong Shure signature and its highs are...

I connected the zx2 player to the PHA-3 using the analogue cable (line in) and I get the sound from XBA-Z5 only with the factory provided cable (normal stereo not balanced). When I change the cable with the balanced one, I won't get the sound :( I inserted each plug into the stereo terminal and...

I want to take the plunge and venture into the new wave of universal. I'm done with custom for the time being. I was salivating reading about 1Plus2, but a source informed me that ASG 2 are quite similar in rank but they come at half the price.   I have big on-the-head headphone like Signature...

Z1070+Ultrasone Signature Pro - no amp no headache

Thanks

I had one before and it got stolen so I ordered a new one. I need to update the firmware and my search was not successful. 

which bugs the funk out of me. Have they fixed this anomaly? I quit using the DAP shortly after getting it because of this folder listing bug, especially with the SD card. The folders get listed according to chronology of uploads--latest upload is in the bottom. 

I'm guessing Apple should have noticed the downloads done for iPhone 4/s and iPod Touch 4 from external creators of EQ programs, and thus addressed this by making a custom EQ option in the new iPod Touch. What do you think?

So based on reviews from savvy people here, I went ahead and ordered Ultrasone Signature Pro from an Australian vendor. I will not mention the name here. I went through many complications with them like a small debit they made on my credit card and asked me to verify it and my bank could not see...

A fiend of mine bought this and is highly recommending it to me. It sells here for 272 US dollars.

Wrong forum

This is bugging the funk out of me. Is there a solution for this? When coupled to my PC, the content folders of the root and SD card get listed alphabetically but once I unplug, the folder are accumulated according to the history of the uploads. Is there a remedy for this anomaly?  

Much appreciated.

Best SQ on the go I have ever experienced in so many years and with no less than 30 players of all kinds and makes. Downside is: a bit distortion with some recordings is INEVITABLE but you can manage. The Equalizer stops all of a sudden sometimes and the EQ setting goes back to flat (this is...

IE 80 - this is coming out soon. The same specs of IE8 but the design looks jazzier with a silver metal plate on the outer surface of the earpiece.   IE 60 - New and coming out soon.   IE 10 Coming out in January '12 (-/+) No details but its the TOP model of the Senns IEM line.   Cheers
