    FiiO E17 + L7 LOD + E11 = Brief Impression

    Alright, I'm going to offer my brief impression of how the FiiO E17 sounds via the L7 LOD to the E11 Amp.     I've seen at least one person ask how the E17/L7/E11 combo would sound. Here we go...     The E17 alone sounds great. I could have been satisfied with that. It plays low...

    I have a pair of Beyerdynamic dt770 premium edition 250ohm version. I listen to the headphones through the Hisoundaudio Rocoo P DAP. All i listen to is R&B, i need a portable amplifier which has the power to run these 250ohm DT770's but also sounds good when listening to R&B.

    SRS Labs' iWOW Adapter for ipod

    SRS Labs' iWOW adaptor for iPods changes the way we think about portable audio - Engadget I also saw something similar called a phantom remixx in the 2009 buyers guide on ilounge. These devices seems to be amps that run off the ipods battery and plugs straight into the docking port. If they...

    As an IEM user and avid gadget lover, I am always have a particularly interest in portable amps. The sub-$100 price range is where I started my amp journey and I am sure it is the same for many others as well. Though I have moved onward to better portable amps at higher price range, I have...

    JDS CmoyBB with Westone UM2 worth it?

    Hi, I recently got a pair of UM2 and love them. so far I have only been using them through my iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro without any amp nor DAC. They are definitely a step-up from the Q-Jays, or at least they seem to sound better. I haven't been able to compare them because I lost my Q-Jays...

    Alpen is the key....

    Alpen is the key.... not only for regular bowel movements, but it also unlocks a super-electric-dream-highway connection between source and ears.   I bought it to use as a DAC for the optical output on my laptop when I travel. I haven't tried it on that yet. I thought I would try it between...

    Fiio E17 against an Creative X-Fi (Xtrememusic)

    Recently purchased new headphones (M50s) and ended up wondering on just how much of an improvement I could get by using an amp. So I went, tried out and purchased the Fiio E11 over the weekend and it was awesome.   However as I was aware of, the Fiio E11 cannot be used while charging meaning...

    V-MODA VAMP: DEVELOPMENT/REVIEWS/PICS/ETC

      I think one of the core ideologies behind innovation and entrepreneurship is that if you can't get what you want, build it yourself.  This is why I founded V-MODA and Kolton Technology many years ago.  Many do not realize that V-MODA was the first company to release fashion-forward...

    Smartphone + Amp in everyday out of home use: pls share your experience

    Well, many of us own smartphones and many of us like to take our music/sound with us but we want it to be as lightweight, portable and autonomous as possible. Some of us do not like IEM's and prefer full size over the ear headphones that usually don't get enough power from smartphones to get...

    First Impressions: ALO Audio the "National" Portable Headphone Amp (The Continental's Younger Sibling)

      I've been testing out ALO Audio's new National for the past week and thought that it would be best to share a couple of thoughts about the amp itself. While I don't think it's quite time yet for me to write up a full featured review since I have had it a little under a week, I feel as if...

    Looking for portable car-friendly headphone amp (sounds crazy, but it isn't!)

    For years I have been using the BlackBerry Music Gateway product to get the audio from my phone to my car's system.  Sound quality and volume are excellent, but it has some bluetooth related issues, forcing me to look at a new solution.  I purchased the Griffin BlueTrip AUX adapter, and while it...

    ALO The National is a work of art - check it!

    (Before I get started, I always post reviews separately from main threads, but especially this time, where The National, is an amp that I feel offers so much for its price, there needs to be some more personal love shown.)   In the TouchMyApps review, I called it a new class of portable amp...

    Hello,   I've just ordered Ultrasone Pro 2900 as my first headphones. I'll be mainly using them for listening electronic music (deep/tech mostly).    They will be connected to my laptop most of the time which has a Realtek HD card, but it will be nice if they are also portable.  ...
