Hi Friends!   If money is not an issue, and based on pure sound quality, which one of these is the best buy? You may add other cowon players too.   Use with- high quality headphones and high quality lossless audio.   Votes, as many as possible, are invited!   Thank you!

I was looking at buying an Imod and amp to use with my Sony Ex 1000 IEM's and was wondering if I will appreciate the difference using the Imod and amp if I am still using 256 kb compressed music?   Thanks in advance. Ken

Before I start I am not affiliated to this retailer in any way, but the links help to show the product details.   32 and 64Gb versions now available in the UK... I was surprised not to turn anything up with a search on here !  ...

I've spent about an hour digging around the forums here for an answer to this issue but so far I haven't had any success so I've decided to stop lurking, create an account and post.    I have an iPhone 4S with a line out dock (LOD) and a FiiO e17 and I'm enjoying the combination. But I'm...

Hy guys! My beloved iphone 4 is dying and I need to change it for another cel phone. I really like iphone 4 sound quality, but its getting behind on everything else when compared to HTC One X (AT&T one). So here is the question.. If I get an HTC One X, Will It be a downgrade in SQ? All...

Recently, I purchased a Zune HD 16gb. While I love the UI and build of the zune, the volume feels far too weak. Previously, I was using a iPod Classic 5th generation + Koss Porta Pros, which, while sounding a bit muddy at times, were always loud enough using maybe less than a quarter of the...

which will give better sound quality.

The reason why I'm selling my touch is because I'm thinking of getting a smartphone now since I'm working now and need the convenience in my pocket (and yes, also 3G and internet all the time). I'm planning on getting the SGS3 or the HTC One X (yes please do tell me what you prefer) :D  ...

I have a Galaxy Nexus smart phone, I understand that this phone has a TI DAC, which in the audiophile community is regarded as pretty good. I am using power amp and I mainly listen to Radiohead. I'm a huge fan and have every single song by these guys, and I read that the HD-600 were the best...

Hey all   As title, looking to purchase a new player. Have started to use Spotify a bit so having offline playlists on it would be handy, since my Cowon J3 isnt compatible!   Main genres I listen to are Alternative and most types of EDM. Will be paired with um3x RC. Am very happy with it...

Hey all   Just curious as to roughly how much my Cowon J3 would be worth if I was to sell it?   - Black  - 16gb - Purchased 1 yr ago - Few cosmetic marks (never dropped, nothing major, just from every day use and leaving in pocket/bag) - Will come with the stock earphones (not...

I am looking to replace my Sansa Clip Zip with a better DAP/DMP in few weeks. The Zip is an awesome little player but its soundstage is too narrow for my taste.  Wish I can easily mod the Zip to increase LR separation, but guess that’s not possible. So I just need a player that has wide...

Anyone knows how you can tell if a smartphone accepts external dacs and amps beneficially? Like the iphone does. Am thinking of upgrading to Htc one S but the question is general. Usually the specs of  a phone dont mention it.   Thanks guys!

I've ran into a spot of trouble with my 80GB iPod Video recently.  The TL;DR: I think the logic board on my iPod has gone faulty, but I don't really know enough about the hardware to know if this is actually the problem or not.   I didn't notice any precursor trouble before one day, after...

I have a new set of HD25 which I like except for the harsh sibilance on some songs    I want to have a slight warmer and better out of it, what option do you think is the better one for me?   Thanks, Eli

Hello all...      So.. I just received my new se535 replacements, and started using my j3 again for the first time in a month and realized how crappy a UI/Syncing is (playlist/podcast issues)...I've had my j3 for 1yr+...and while it sounds fantastic paired w/ my shures...I long for the...

Hi,   My archos 5g pmp has packed up and I need one that will play wav. I am considering one of the colorfly models - c3, ck4, ck5. Has anyone done a direct comparison of the sound quality of these models? I use mainly in the gym so bass and timing would get top priority. Otherwise I would...

Some songs used to be right before, today got a JUMBLED display in DX100. Only upgrade the fireware from 1.1.6 to 1.1.7. How can I correct it? Thanks!

I currently have a Sony X1060 32 GB. I use it with Pico slim and Westone ES5.. However i am finding the space to be limited. Can you please recommend a replacement to Sony. I am looking for something with Line out so that i can use it with amp. I absolutely love the sound quality of Sony and i...

I want to use my i-device with amp via line out signal I already have an ipod touch 3G, is it worth to buy an ipod classic 5G?   which of those have better line out?  is the difference noticeable ?   I hear that the line out signal of the ipods, is not real    thanks

i searched but found nothing about this...   any reviews?   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aune-32bit-HIFI-Digital-Music-Player-New-product-/320903559053?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item4ab757b78d   http://shop2.hifidiy.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_33&products_id=111

So I bought me a 5G iPod, and due to weird circumstances with Amazon and eBay I'm now in possession of both a 30GB and 60GB.  Loving them both, but that's the issue - I can't decide whether to keep one, and if so, which one to keep.. :\ The 60 doesn't feel chunky, but the moment I pick up the...

Currently, I listen to my music through my Galaxy S (the original with the Wolfson) with the Voodoo sound enhancements. Sadly, my phone is dying and I'm looking to go to an older Blackberry (because I love the keyboard, I mainly use my phone for music and texting). I still want great sound...

Hello guys,       I was searching for a audio recorder for using mainly in lectures and conferences, but that I could also use, but it's not priority, to record music pratice sections. My budget was something near US$ 200 but could stretch up to US$ 300 if it's realy worth it.       What...

Hey, new here...sort of. I've been observing these forums for quite a while to help me choose my headphones, but now I need help choosing a new mp3 player. My zune is now dead so was thinking of getting either a cowon j3 or a z2. I'm aware the j3 is discontinued but is still favored by many. I...
