Hi everyone.I've been looking for a portable player to pair with my new Westone 3 IEMs...FLAC compatibility is a must for me.No need for big LED display,video support,Wi-Fi or any other extra stuff..just a plain player with decent sound quality.Feel free to submit any suggestion(s).

Hi I currently have the Nationite S:Flo 2, which I use portably with my Pioneer HDJ-2000. I am looking for a replacement for this as while the sound quality is decent (and it was good value for money) a few things bother me:   No lock function, I have to wait a minimum of 6 seconds for...

Woot has an 8 gig Fuze for today.  Get'em while they are hot.   39.99 shipped.  Yay.     http://www.woot.com/

At First Glance: It's smaller than I thought it would be & very light for its 'thickness'. The mini USB is a nice plus, as all my other USB devices use mini USB. All my 3.5mm cans were a nice very snug fit in the jack (we'll see in time if thats always true). Plug it in, XP sees a new...

Hi,   Do you know of any PMP which can display synchronized lyrics embedded in the MP3 files?

I know that this product is old, but I am trying to get a feel for writing these kinds of articles, so here I go.   This is probably the best DAP I have ever owned. After doing some research on Head-Fi it seamed like the way to go, was Cowon (if you wanted video playback at least). I was...

nano 6g is amazing...... I'm sorry but it blows all my mp3 players away the biggest difference I have to say is instrument separation,soundstage,detail just outperforms any dap I have ever heard *ipod classic/samsung p3/zune hd/ipod touch*. I love it I need to test it with an amp but thats...

Ok picked one of these today so...... 1. I'm glad the buttons are back, the 4th gen was a bit to minimalist (though it sounded pretty good) 2. Sound quality- best since original (and i have one from each gen)   shuffle 1st gen=shuffle 4th gen >shuffle 3rd gen > shuffle 2nd gen One guys...

Guys - i sold my 3GS iPhone and now have the iPhone 4 i have been using the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5 Pro Headphones on both iPhones to my ears, the 3GS just sounds better? or am i imagining it? just a better overall sound? more fuller sounding, this is with EQ on the Loudness setting or...

I have the iPod classic 160GB (late 2009 version) and after I heard my friends Cowon S9, so I decided to get a new one. After some research, I narrowed my list to the Cowon S9, iAudio 9, Sony A84x, or the Walkman S-series.

Hi there Want to ask a question on this great forum... My purpose is to be able to play FLACs via a DAC without a computer (through NAD C320 BEE amplifier and Acoustic Energy Aegis EVO 3 floor standing speakers). I haven't bought a DAC yet, but I am thinking about Constantine or Stello DA100...

Currently I am using an iRiver E200. Just bought it 2 months ago, I'm not satisfied with it at all. I've got some limited treble, unclear mids and a gui that is annoyingly slow.   So it's time to buy a new one, most important is the sound quality and the possibility to play FLAC files. I...

Need a new DAP with good video playback options and decent SQ for music.  I think I have narrowed it to these 3 but cant seem to break the tie.  Here are my thoughts.  Maybe someone can add something I have missed   all players have a nice screen and about the same storage capacity.   ...

So I am looking for a new mp3 player. I have around 4000 songs, I'm looking for something that can hold all of them. Are there any players that cost equal or preferably less than the ipod classic. Which is like 225.  I use my mp3 player for:   Listening with headphones, specifically yuin...

Hello,   I have been looking at current audio players to replace my Sony NWZ-E344. Reason being the screen is getting very scratched.   There are a few questions I have about eh i9:   How durable is the screen   Is the sounds quality on par with other Cowon devices   Is the...

Dear Head-Fi,   First of all, just to say I am talking about portable use here.   Just wondering if it is possible to bypass the DAC in an iPod (or other portable player), and then use a portable DAC/amp? That is to say, can I extract a digital feed from my portable player?   If the...

Hey guys..   I know this is a quiet .. stupid thread but I am quiet new to mobile sources.. I need to get a good overview..   So I would love to know which players are "omg-damn-nice" and which are the "bah-dat-sux" =) So could anyone please order the following players by sound...

Currently, my daily portable rig would be a Cowon iaudio 6 + Pico amp/DAC + Shure SE535 (sometimes Audio Technica ATH-CK7 or ATH-EW9 depending on mood). I love the sound of my system but somehow my iaudio 6 is only limited to 4GB capacity. Anyone can intro me a DAP which is not too big and the...

Hey guys, do you guys know what's the best DAP to use with my Shure SE530's? I use flac files. Budget of around $200-300.

Ok guys, i am trying to get into this greater sound quality appreciation that you guys are into (audiophiles), slowly. I doubt that i'll get to audiophile status, but still like good sound. I lurk around here more than post, so please excuse my low post number. Now, my question to you guys is...
