    iPhone and iPod users: NOCS NS200 is a great headset with lots of gooey controls!

        Original Review and pictures of NOCS NS200 is here or the portable earphone thread at /f103   First: I think this SHOULD be here in the portable source forums as it deals directly with specific models: iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and even iPod shuffle and nano. I've been looking for an...

    First pair of HD 650s but they sound veiled

    Just got the HD 650s and I love them.  The soundstage blows away my HD 598s outa the water.  The only beef I have with these cans is I can understand how something people say "boring" because right now the sound is decently thick.  Like a veil or just like listening to something behind a wall. ...

    Nuforce HDP Icon to Burson HA 160?

    I've been using the HDP Icon as the amp for my k701 for a while and recently, I've been thinking of getting another amp. I've read a couple of posts where the Burson HA 160 seems to pair quite well with the k701. I would just like to ask if going from the HDP to the 160 would be worth the price...

    Anything sound like NuForce but more durable?

    Can someone help me with a recommendation? I like the sound of NuForce IEMs but, despite treating them very gently, my third pair just crapped out. I think that's my cue to try something else. Does anyone know of anything with a similar sound but more reliable build-quality? I'm not using a...

    What to replace NuForce?

    Hey everyone. I have a pair of NuForce NE-7M's that I have had for a couple of years. At the time they were purchased as a best bang for the buck set around their price point (my old pair of Shure SE 310's were stolen). While I have enjoyed them, I am looking for something to replace them.  ...

    Hello! Please help a newb to use the amp properly.

      Hello! So I've borrowed NuForce amp/DAC from my friend to get a general impression, but I'm already baffled by the interface properties. From my understanding, upscaling the image and video files often causes degradation in quality, but I'm not sure how the amp works with respect to this...

    NuForce NE-8 arrived (short review, updated pg1)

    Just got the NE8 from FedX. Opened it up and it has the same round zipper case as the PL30. The headphone itself looks the same as the PL30 except it doesn't have the adjustable bass/treble button like on the PL30. This is where the similarities stop. There is a moldable 2 1/4 sleeve on each...

    Are the NuForce NE-7M and the SoundMAGIC PL-11 the same thing?

    The NuForce is fifty bucks, the SoundMAGIC PL-11 is $12, yet they look almost identical except for the different colored metal. Are they the same sound-wise? And would the tips from the Sound-Magic fit the NuForce? They appear identical in size and shape.

    DAC/AMP for HD 650's

    Ok so just a quick question. I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 which gets audio USB out of my laptop. I want to get an amp to go with my HD 650's but I'm not sure if I should use my Creative as a DAC and get a stand alone AMP or if I should get a DAC/AMP all-in-one combo that...

    Nuforce µDAC 2 for AKG K 272 HD a good idea?

    So I've had my lovely AKG K 272 HD for about an year now and have enjoyed them all the time. Still, I suspect I'm not enjoying them to their full extent, as my source is a Realtek AC'97 chipset on a cheap laptop. They do get loud, but I suppose I'm not wrong if I say that the amount of juice...

    Fubar IV vs Nuforce HDP

    I was getting a Nuforce HDP as I want a DAC/Headphone amp that also has pre-outs for my powered monitors. I discovered the Fubar IV, which has what I need. Has anyone done a quality comparison between that and the HDP or any other amp? The price point is a big difference. The HDP at $445 is a...

    A decent but not too expensive amp recommendation for T1

    Right now I have a Fubar 4 as well as an Auzentech XFi HTHD card the specs of which state that it can drive 600 ohms headphones. I am unsure if anyone else here has tried this card for driving such a headphone.   In either case I might consider getting a better dedicated amp if you guys...
