You are right - as users we are privileged these years. Very few people will have had a chance to test more than a few of them. So I can only team about my choice. Sound quality, portability (the oppo's can fold - this might seem as a small thing, but I promise you, having it in one's bag every...

To my experience (I am a happy PM-3 owner travelling quite a lot in trains) the sound stage is OK. I understand your question, also appreciating a real 3D soundstage at my loudspeakers. It is a trade-off when it comes to closed headphones but the PM-3's is a good compromise - really close to...

well - i agree. But they have to live up to regulations in EU. But putting the cable in the phone before you put it in the headphone isn't that difficult, is it? I mean, when the PM-3's are in the box you have to pull out the cable anyway. So instead of putting it in the headphone first, then...

I don't have the V20, but it is incredibly easy to trigger hi impedance mode physically on the V10 because the jack that goes into the headphone is a standard mini jack. Just make a female mini jack plug on which you solder two 100 ohm resistors.  Plug the jack that goes into the headphones in...

Got my PM-3 a few days ago. They are very, very good! I have had loudspeakers with folio for years, and were after that transient sound. have noticed that people become even more happy with them over time, if that is the case I will be looking forward to that. They fit the LG V10 very well, I I...

Sennheiser Momentum over-ear. At first I was disappointed with the sound and the volume. Then I found out the way to trigger the aux mode - which was a huge benefit. Then I could not resist to go for the high impedance mode to see if that gives even more to the sound.    The Senn Momentum...

for me the mod in the very first post in this thread did the job of giving enough space for my ear. I can really recommend that as the first to try, if someone might have forgotten that in the light of the many posts here :-)

Unfortunately not. It is converted down, which is a pity. The built in DAC allows it, and it is pretty OK though, but that is another story.

LG G2 I apologize if this has been mentioned, but with a superficial browse of the thread I cannot find it. My LG G2 the international version (80210a european version) works out of the box with Fiio E17, and also with my Hegel HD2 ( with an external power supply) using an OTG cable. I have...

has anybody been able to compare the extension of the original pads described in the beginning of this thread with the pads from HM5? If so, what is the difference, in sound quality and comfort?

Making CAL flat for transport I broke a hinge on my CAL, it was the little metal thing that links the cup with the hanger that broke. Since I have done all the mods, and they sound really well I have been thinking about whether I could find a way to repair them.  I ended to  repair them with a...

USB audio recorder pro works fine after the update today - also for 96/24 files! (Nexus 7, Fiio E17).  Now we just need to convince him to create a simple interface for using it as music player..

Quote: Hi eXtream   As you can see I am not the only one who would like this, as I mailed to you. One way of not getting divorced would be to consider this much bigger market - just look at this forum to see the interest on a problem that you apparently have found a genuine solution to :-)

Quote: I got it to work - did not recognize the button to choose music format.. It plays 16 bit music fine, but it distorts 96/24 files, even if it triggers the FIIO to choose that. Hopefully the developers just need some time to solve that.    What a wonderful development!

"music stored on Galaxy S3 > USB Audio Recorder PRO player > digital USB audio out >> "USB OTG" cable >> FiiO E17 >> headphones"   Hi Danba. Which music formats have you got working with the recorder? It would be very exciting to be able to use it as the music player with formats up to...

 Nexus 7 has upgraded to Android 4.2.1. When rooted (see first post), install the Faux kernel (v.0.12b11), and it works like a charm with Fiio E17. But you have to put in the usb wire before you start the N7. 

Negakino, are you just using an ordinary USB cable between the E7/ E17 ( which arrives tomorrow to me). Are there anything else you need to do with the rom to transfer the signal, special music player or other kind of stuff   I have a Desire HD, and Cyanogenmod 7 nightly built goes fine on...

Hi Jiitee Can you tell anything about when we can expect next release?

Pls help: I have run into a problem with my modding. I have changed the two line out opamps (U16 and U22) to lm4562ma. One channel works fine, the other gives a signal, but with low gain. I have checked that there are 12V between leg 4 and 8 on both, so it is not that easy. Can anybody help with...

Thank you for this inf. Black gates are not produced any more, and I have been told that there is a lot of fakes out there. I did a research and found the Black gates I need from a supplier I think I can trust. To the second part of your Q. Does any of you who has done these mods have any...

I will look forward to that .. henry

I now realize that black gates is not to achieve any more. Which caps would be recommended then?

Jiiteepee, is is possible to make the application remember the settings ( gain, etc.)? This would be an improvement for daily use.

I am going do mod my 0404 usb. I am not using the headphone output, so I would not be modding that. Having read this thread I am considering to change the two lineout opamps to lm4562, the five 47uf, the two 10uf and the one 220uf power cap, using black gate caps for all. Any comments or...
