I tried Rockbox and found it confusing and I couldn't get a proper theme for the interface. I don't know how to get songs onto the ipod and get the right settings to bring out the best of every song; I want nice heavy bass for bands like a tribe called quest and daft punk as well as crisp/clear...

My Philips Uptowns are underpowered in the sense that I cannot get enough volume from them. Thus, I am looking into a relatively cheap portable amp solution. I saw the Electric Avenues PA2V2, FiiO E11, and JDS Labs CMoyBB were popular, which of these would do the best for raising the volume of...

Hey guys I'm considering upgrading my PA2V2 to the Valhalla amp and I'm new to the whole amp game and was wondering what kind of sound performance I'd expect from upgrading to a tube amp. Thanks

Just wondering this is my first amp purchase and also do I need to upgrade the cords or should I use the ones that come with the Pa2v2. 

I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to start a thread listing the existing portable amps along with their price and website link. No reviews here, just a list. I have spent so much time trying to determine what options I have and would have loved to have a single source to get a list of...

I have a Clip+ (Rockboxed) connected to my PA2V2 driving my Ultrasone Pro 900. Things were great until a point but I am now experiencing a crackling noise. As far as I know it accompanies the entirety of the frequency spectrum. Of course I have tested my cans without the amp and have not...

are there any dacs out that are good and cheap in the same vein as the pa2v2?

First off, I'm really enjoying my Xonar STX sound card.  I've been using it with the Headphone Out with various headphones, enjoying myself.  However, I have a technical question. I know the line out or speaker outs have a better SNR rating.  I've recently purchased a Pa2v2 amp, and I'm...

Hello Head-fier's! My first post and I hope it's in the right place :s   Right, I recently just completed my first 'decent' headphone set up. I've got a lovely pair of Alessandro MS-1's and more recently a pa2v2 from electric avenues (thanks Head-fi :D), to be used on the go with my iPod...

Ok so i have hd 555s, and the pa2v2. I have it all set up, but when i put the jack into the laptop (coming from the portable amp) it asks me whether to do line out or headphone. Now i believe I was suppose to do lineout, that's all i ever  hear about when using mixamps, but when i choose...

I heard the Q701's a week ago and really liked the sound and want to buy them. Before I do I am wondering if the PA2V2 is enough power for them.    I have been reading threads the last few days and I see the E7/9 combo works as well as does the LYR or Valhala amps, but I never saw mention if...

out of these three, which will give me the low-end boost im looking for? This review:   http://www.headfonia.com/music-on-a-budget-sub-100-portable-amps-shootout/   says the PA2v2 is better suited to "fast aggressive music" like rock, whereas the jds cmoy was warmer and more midrange...

Hi, I'm a noobie who is looking into getting into higher quality earphones. I want something "warm", easy to listen to, and clear. I had a pair of analytical earphones before but never could enjoy them. After some research, I'm looking at the MEE A151 and the NuForce NE-700X (I'll consider any...

So I got my first pair of Grado's yesterday after deciding it;s time to take a break from listening to high end IEM's and get me a pair of decent cans. I usually amp everything I have but was wondering if the SR80i's will have any benefit whatsoever. My setup is an iPod Nano 2G to LOD to amp. My...

Does anyone know what the output impedance of the PA2V2 is?  I've searched in vain and came up empty.  I am looking at a low-impedance set of IEMs for knocking around, but need to know if the PA2V2's output impedance is low enough (hopefully 1 ohm or so) to make the IEMs sing.  I tried dropping...

Im looking for Mini to mini Cable for my Sennheiser HD-25 1 II /  PA2V2 / Player : Cowon J3   I bought Ibasso mini to mini cable  which is 30$ but I cant use it to plug in to my Player because the connector is too big for my Player with hardcase   So now I'm looking for  New mini to mini...

hey, sorry, didnt know shere to post this, feel free to move it. i want to buy a used pa2v2. i need it to be in good condition. thanks

I am having such a hard time deciding which amp to get! I currently am using a nano 6g which I got a few days ago and I would like to use and amp with it (portable) and It has come down to these 2. The Electric Avenues PA2V2 looks like it would seem better with the Nano since both are small in...

Can I use the DAC with my iphone, if so how would it affect the sound, is there a bass boost button? How about the e5 e6 e7 and pa2v2, how do they affect the sound, I would prefer it not too boost the mids anymore than the iphone does. I have a HD25-1 II, Shure se215, and M50 to be powered. I...

  I've recently purchased a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 which I'm absolutely loving. I solely use them with 320kbps AAC on my iPhone.    I've searched and read a lot of threads on the topic of amplifying the M50s, so I realise it's been covered fairly thoroughly. I'm hoping however that...

I'm currently driving my Pro 900 with a PA2V2 with a Sansa Clip+ (Rockboxed) as the source. I'm looking into selling the Pro 900 and buying flat FR cans. I am well aware of the ruler flat FR of the Clip+.    But how close to flat is the PA2V2 anyways? I've read that the mids are a bit...

I have just been informed that I am double amping since my Clip+ does not have a line-out and apparently this is bad for my sound quality. Is this true?    With 32 or 64 ohm cans should I just go straight from the Clip+? Which will have more sound quality? Or is there something I am not...

I don't think this has been fully asked and analyzed yet together as one. So i'm thinking of getting something new to raise my sound quality.    I am currently looking at the PA2V2,s the iBAsso whatevers, and the ZO2, and E11   I am particularly intrigued with the PA2V2's. i have the...
