Just wondering if any of you head fi'ers with iPhones mess with the equalizer settings in the ipod section? If so, what do you think about it? What settings do you use, if any?

My portable rig at the moment consists of an sflo2 set up - but I also want to carry around my entire music collection of ~44GB (at times) and be able to access it easily.    I have the sixth-generation iPod Classic 80GB but the SQ just quite never gets there. My D2+ sounds a little better...

hi. i love my mindisc player - its an old sony net md. i also have a few mp3 players. but i find myself usinig the minidisc more often. i like it fo one main reason and its NOT sound quality. the reason i like minidisc is the same reason that most people don't like it. i like the fact that its...

Hi,   I would just like to begin with saying I love it here at the Head-Fi forums! It has opened my eyes to a world of sonic brilliance that I would otherwise have never known about!   A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few IEM's. Amongst these were the...

I'm in search for Sound quality, well top of the line sound quality from a portable DAP. I have been leaning towards an RWA I-mod for best possible sound but open to suggestions from my fellow head-fiers. I'm currently in possesion of a Pico slim for amplification and will be using the Em3 pro's...

 Edit(29/10/2010):   This threat has got hardly anything to do with portable source gear, sorry that's my mistake.   After some very good advice of some head-fiers I had an revelation of which I was hoping for so every thing below this edit is not relevant anymore. I guess it was kind...

I got sony nwz-s639f.   Is this player capable of powering hd 598?

I'm thinking about picking the classic up and was wondering if it's that great of an improvement over the 6G? I'm taking everything into account such as battery life, speed of the HDD, and weight (the GB doesn't really matter since I have under 30 gigs anyway).   Thanks

I ask this because I'm ill-knowledgeable in this area of audio gear. Can someone explain this to me? I use a Nexus One for my music how would that compare to other music players for example?

All right, got tired of trying to figure out parametric EQ's and started using my broken screen D2, so I want to know which Cowon I should get, the O2 or V5? I am looking at 16GB players and will be getting at least a 16GB SD card preferably a 32GB so I can put all my music into at least 320kbs...

I really need a tiny MP3 player I can use in the gym. I'd like something with the best possible sound, keeping in mind that I wasn't happy with the iPod Nano (kinda harsh, bright, lacking sub bass).   Something like a clip on, or can use an in-line remote would be great, but not absolutely...

So, my iPod nano 5th got stolen along with Hippo Shroom-EB IEMs. I need a PMP that  is able to play loseless files and has 16 GB (or 8GB+microsd slot) for under 100$. I do not need video, I believe it'll be nice if I got something with a slightly warm sound since I'm going to be using RE0...

This last weekend I had the pleasure of going to RMAF with a friend of mine. I went to Ray Samuels' table, and started listening to some of his portable amps. He asked me if I was using the HO or and LO, and I told him the HO--Then he told me not to waste my time buying a portable amp because...

HI guys, So,.. do you think an amp like IBASSO T3 will help with the overall SQ? I have heard many times about the notion of garbage in garbage out. SO... if the DAC and amp in my phone is weak, will that limit the improvement of the SQ that 5800 will provide? I really appreciate your feedbacks.

So yesterday I picked up an old D-33 Discman. I line-out this thing to a HeadRoom Portable Micro Amp using a DIY cable. Yeah, don't ask how I manage to bring such a huge, heavy, no-shock resistant thing outside. Anyway. Aside from the usual "What the eff is he holding in his hands" look, I...

Just deboxed it, and I'm stoked!  This is what a real audio player should look like instead of some wimpy hipster cellphone.  Instead of facebook ability, you get nice real  solid feeling play /pause / stop buttons, and slick VU record / play bar meters. Yeah! Great High Rez 24bit/ 96khz play...

 was actually torn between this player and the V5 but I got the O2 to save money. The 32GB V5 was $340 at that time (It's down to $310 on Amazon now. Guess what I'm buying next) The 32GTB O2 was $244. I also got a 32GB SDHC card for $95 giving me a total of 64GB storage. This might sound...

Got it for jogging. This device is amazing! I don't hear any whitenoise with any of my headphones on the device. Even on my Triple-Fi no white-noise at full volume. People were saying how it isn't really a "line-out". Either-way it is a clean enough signal anyways! Of course it isn't as...

I've ripped some cds to my Cowon D2+ but i notice when i play the songs the volume level on some songs is louder than on some songs and lower on others. I always have to fiddle with the volume level to get a good volume.   Is their anyway to fix this?   Thank You All.

Downloaded a few CD's to my notebook computer then subsequently loaded them onto a 2gb micro card (came w/ my Blackberry) which my Clip+ accepts.  The Clip+ recognizes these files and even displays the song name but skips them before going on to play the songs that came w/ the player.  ...

I'm close to buying a 240 GB Ipod 5.5g for its large size and Rockboxability which will give me flac support, drag 'n drop capability and a customazible EQ. However it's an old machine and I would like to know what other options I have.   - Most and foremost I need a customizable EQ because...

I'm wondering if there are any portable players that have a digital output for connecting to a DAC when you're back home, or any players that have a 3rd party add-on to achieve this. I'm thinking mostly for what I can use to connect to my DAC when I'm listening to music in bed, and hoping I...

Hi guys,   I am interested in either a sony walkman s or x series. The only thing important to me is sound quality. Is there a discernable enough difference sonically between these two?   I have an Imac and an e5 fio & ibasso D4 mamba. Using Audio Technica ath m 50 headphones. I listen...

My question is 1.What's the differences between 60GB version(new) and 120GB(old)                          including sound,function,appearance,or how to use it ?                       2.Does it good sound quality? Can somebody describe it?                          If you can , plz compare...

First post here!   I'm currently looking to buy a decent portable rig.   So far I'm pretty sure I'll get the Stax SR-001MK2 iems. They're within budget and the reviews I've seen here, sound promising. I'm not really interested in anything else than iems as I don't like wearing headphones...
