Hello everyone,   I am a newbie to the portable headphone amps.  I just bought an Apple Ipod Classic 160GB and a pair of Shure SE353 and Sennheiser HD 650.  I am looking for a portable DAC with amplifier but not shure what to buy.  I was leaning toward the Fostex HP-P1 and not sure if this...

Hello, how are you?   I have a question for you head-fiers. :) I currently have a Fostex HP-P1 (it is currently for sale), and I am thinking about getting a high end DAP. I like the sound of the HP-P1 and like the fact that I can use it with multiple devices like the iPad, iPod Classic, iPod...

I feel like I have to be missing something. I need something to extract the digital bitstream from my Classic when I'm on the go, but the only thing I can think of that does it effectively is the HP-P1. Is there a standalone DAC (or an integrated DAC/amp that'll power the Mad Dog and Alpha Dog...

I just picked up a Fostex HP-P1 second hand and I get about a song in and then it starts cutting out and the charge symbol flashes intermittently and the music stops.  If I turn the HP-P1 off and back on I get a bit of a "reset" but then it starts again.   I thought it was isolated to my...

If i want to use Fiio amp with iPhone 5 , I need to buy lighting connector > 30 pin with audio? Or it doesn't matter?

Hello!  Ive read a few threads but nothing has answered the question i have.   Is there a portable unit that can take the digital signal from my iPod 7G and ouput it from an onboard (higher quality) DAC to a headphone out?     I was under the impression that the digital feed was locked...

Hello Everybody! I am a professional recording engineer, musician and writer for MIX magazine, and I'm "a bit behind the curve" when it comes to iOS interface devices. I've been searching for a DAC for iOS devices that meets the following criteria: Digital OUT to an outboard DAC (i.e. 30-pin...

Evening folks,    I need some assistance.   As for Desktop/Home Head-Fi I have things pretty much worked out. I have a few DAC's and head amps on the way to try out with various Sennheiser's until i upgrade my cans.   But as for portable I'm just totally stuck.   The portable...

This is a thread to discuss Lightning cables available on the market.   I myself am interested in cables for use for portable DAC/Amp rigs like the Hifi-M8, Fostex hp_p1, Sony-PH1/2, Go-Dap, Verza, Cypher labs Theorum(has a different end) etc. I myself use a Hifi-M8.   Discussion about...

can you hook up the Fostex HP-P1 to a PC

Anyone have these two DAC/Amps?   I am deciding between the two and was wondering how they compare. Every where I looked no one seemed to have a direct comparison between the two.   I use a Fiio E7 now.     Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone actually owned both of these all-in-one DAC/amp solutions simultaneously and who'd venture some impressions?

Which one is better?

thinking of purchasing the DT880 600Ohm version... Currently own a HP-P1 and a E7/E9 combo...   I generally use the E7/E9 for the desktop computer source but also spend time with my HP-P1 when i am commuting or not in front of my computer...    I guess my question is does these two drive...

Hi   I'm tired of the ultracrappy sound quality of my Samsung Galaxy S2 and the lacking of a USB LOD like the iPhone 4, so I'm currently in the search of a good portable rig and my three options are:   - iPod classic 160Gb plus a Fostex HP-P1 to be used as DAC and headphone amp. -...

I have a HP-P1 for my JH16Pro's. I would like to buy a great set of full size headphones like the HD650/HD800. Can the HP-P1 properly drive such headphones? If not, what is the best full size it can drive? Thanks

Considering purchasing Fostex unit for my HP-P1 as the choice seems pretty limitied when it comes to portable DAC/AMP combos.. Any experience?

Fiio would have a genuine hit on their hands if they offered a CLAS competitor that came in significantly under the price (think ~ $200?) of the ALO Audio Cypher Lab Algorythm Solo.  This could be paired with the E11 for an awesome portable setup.  As an alternative suggestion, a premium LOD...

Hi guys,   So what are the differences? I am primarily using my Shure SE535LTDs. I have a Fostex HP-P1 on it's way to me Tuesday and I also have a Gen5.5 DIYMod coming but don't have access to a SR-71B to try it out. I will end up either keeping the Fostex or sell/swap it in for a SR-71B. I...

After throwing in the towel with the Fostex supplied monstrosity of a case, I'm looking for options and inspiration.   What protective case options have you HP-P1 owners discovered and use?   I'm looking for something that will add protection without adding too much bulk to a HP-P1 &...

Hi guys,    I am fairly new to the portable amp idea...but have decided to invest in one for use with my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both of these containing Apple Lossless Files).   The question is, at the moment I have the option to purchase either the RSA SR-71 or the Fostex HP-P1. Both of...

  If you purchased your Fostex HP-P1 from Moon Audio, then you can send into us for a Firmware Update. Your cost is just shipping back and forth. To check to see what firmware you have do the following.    Connect HP-P1 to iPhone or iPod Touch on which the iOS is running. Then, access the...

First off, "thanks" Todd (TTVJAudio), quality service, I wanted to get these next day air and was pulled into a client meeting and forgot to get my web order in and he was nice enough to call me back to remind me =). Will definitely be my first option buying new toys. OK back to the goods.  ...
