I have a Sony MZ1 Mini Disc Pro recorder with all the bells and whistles. Well what I trying to do is to transfer songs from a CD to the MZ1 via my Toshiba Laptop which also has an Optical Out port on it.  The port does work as I get a small optical red light on the other end.   My problem...

Is anyone using this combo? What kinds of combos are you guys using? I just got my sd card today and I can't get the 601 to read it. It's a class 4 card and it shows up in all three of my personal computers, but my 601 just says "No file!" It's loaded with 10.1gb worth of level 8 flacs. I've...

According to the tests, So yeah, iphone 3gs=rather good frequency response (I'm ignoring the >20khz spectrum because I can only hear up to 18khz, unless thats my computer's crappy sound card failing on me) It fills me with sadness that I wont be able to raise 4-5 grand for my super epic PC...

I think everybody has experience sudden cellphone frequencies interfering with their audio equipment at time when cellphone is connecting to the cell towers.   The interence is obvious at those times, but when there is no surge of radio signal communicating, does the music play on the get...

I'm sorry to bother you guys with questions like this, I'm sure you get them all the time, it's just that I really can't decide what to get. I'm looking into buying an mp3 player with really good sound quality, but I can't afford anything like a Hifiman or anything of that sort. So I...

Dropped my iaudio 7 one time too many a coupple of months ago. Suspecting the only problem to be that the outside power knob had disconnected from the electrical one. After having ruined two screw drivers trying to open it up i ordered a new iaudio 9 that works to my pleasing.   Beeing home...

Hello all:  I have not used a portable audio device for a while. Now it is time to restart.   What would be your recommendation for a nice unit below $200?   I do not need video or pictures, just pure, good sound (ideally with absolutely no  hiss and no need to EQ).   Any suggestion...

Hello,       I am currently searching for the right MP3 player for me. I have Sansa fuze with lineout connector, but it doesn't meet my needs(only has gapless with rockbox, but then lineout is disabled with rockbox). Its time for an upgrade. I primarily use my mp3 player for playing music in...

I will most likely buy the m50's and idk if they need an amp or not but I kind of want to learn about amp. Do they always have to be plugged into the headphones? Also, do they really help that much and lastly are they worth the money (not sure of their price). Thanks, im new to this stuff.

Hi all,   I´m looking for a headphone, with integrated mp3 player. that meen without cable.   I know that exist many headphone like this, but it will be perfect if this headphone would have a remote control without cable and monitore like the remote control from the iriver h120.  ...

[New to reviewing, please be gentle! ]   When I received a nook Color as a christmas present this year I was expecting to get a great e-reader with some tablet-PC-like benefits. What I was not expecting was that I would get a good portable media player and great internet radio, too!  ...

I usually just have my E7 docked on my E9 so the bass boost functionality has been un-abused thus far. Earlier today I decided to use the E7 by itself and wanted to boost some bass on my hip-hop music. And what did I get? Distortion. And I was only on level 1. Levels 2 and 3 sounded absolutely...

Just curious what you guys use to store your IEMs and source between sessions. The stock tin can that the UE3s come with suck (bends the cord in weird angles to fit)

I need your help, i'm in a quandary. Here's the background, i hope you can help.   I have been using a set of standard HD590s for almost a decade. I love the sound, but am attracted to the idea of a better sounding set of HD600s, possibly with a fancy cable. 80% of what i listen to is...

Hey all.  This is my first post here, and I'm totally new to audio devices and such, though I'm thinking of getting into it.  Right now I'm just looking at options for a portable setup so mp3 player and iems, and amp maybe?  I don't really have much to spend, and was wondering what route you...

Hey everyone, been following these forums for a few weeks trying to get my bearings on everything.   Anyway, down to it. I was looking for a pair of headphones that would be used at home (movies/music), at the library (no leakage), and traveling by plane (isolation). With the occasional walk...
