I was curious which iPod has the best sound quality, the newest generation Classic or the Touch? I need at least 80 gb so that is what I need to choose from.   I see that there seem to be more (better) equalizer apps for the Touch than the Classic so I guess this should be taken into...

Hey guys figured i would ask for some help here.   I just got my Cowon J3 and overall it seems to be working very well. However it seems to get hung up and freeze on certain FLAC's. From what i can tell i think it is the Bit-Rate of the FLAC's i have. Now most of these files on my hard...

My music collection has grown to ~130 gb and is too large for most portable sources.  I am looking for a player that can at least the majority of my collection.  What options do I have?  I currently have a Cowon X7 and am completely unsatisfied with it.  I've also had bad experiences with ipod...

Been looking for a portable media player lately, been lurking in head-fi and googling almost every player there is at a reasonable price range and yet to find a reasonable package. Apple is meh because of the output and itunes and external storage. Dont understand what goes through the minds of...

Hi,   I haven't been surfing HF for quite sometime, I have been using T51 for more than 2yrs IIRC. I am so out date not updating myself or surfing HF... did Teclast came out a direct replacement for it?   Cheers.

Hey everyone :3 just put the iDevice in airplane mode and you're good to go :)

I would like to know and also what the heck is rockbox keep seeing all these threads about it. Thanks

Hi guys, i've been reading this forum for a few months already. Upgrading from Shure SE215 to a Full custom 6 driver (Coming soon). Now i need a new Portable player enough to drive the 6 drivers. Hope you guys could help me out.   After reading most of the threads, i narrowed my choices to...

What is the best audio player besides the default one on ipod touch, iphone, ipad?   Right now I only know of FLAC player, Cappricio, and Golden Ears, with Golden ears being my favorite right now, as it plays APE's as well.   Are there any other music players that plays a lot of lossless...

I'm thinking of getting a music player, I have few (but important) criterion for them.   Plays FLAC I have about 20gb of music, so anything above that Under 250$ Relatively long battery life (~5 hours min) Ships to Canada (please)   Are there any good music players that fit this...

EDIT1:Will the 6gen Ipod nano do it or should I buy the J3 (because I don't want to compromise on audio quality). My budget can stretch a maximum upto 400 $ and that said, I will be grateful if head-fiers could provide me with other alternatives that I have failed to consider. Storage capacity...

Lets say that I am an electrical engineer (which I am) and was somewhat interested in developing some product that would directly compete with the ipod market (which I also am). I am looking at what kind of things that you as the consumers would want in such a device?  Right now I have a few...

Hi all I'm new to the forum and could do with some advice. I'm trying to get a better sounding portable setup. I have some shure 535 reds with baldur mk2 cable paired with iPhone 4. Would it be better to get a different source ( cowon j3/x7) or use a iPhone/iPod classic with lod and a headphone...

Greetings, Head-Fi. I am currently debating whether to purchase a Clip+ or a Clip Zip for portable use. As far as I know, they are virtually identical in sound quality, price (by a couple of dollars for any given capacity), and features, although the Zip has a larger screen.   I plan on...

I just received delivery of this player and I'm trying to get it to play HD (24 Bit) wav and flac files without success. I was under the impression that this was a HD audio player. Does anyone else know about this player, and is it supposed to play HD audio? I can't seem to find the...

I purchased this refurbished on ebay since the line output from a coby disc player was not too good.    This is outside the usual. It was designed to interface as a computer disc drive and was a music player as a second thought.  All the computer aspects are totally outmoded so I chucked...

I do use a UERM, and an MG6Pro   I've been contemplating for a while for the better sound quality (I don't care about formats alac / flac either one works for me) between getting an amp and dac combo such as the MK3 + Solo for my 4s, or just a DX100. I've been doing quite the research and...

Hi all, I am using this wonderful little player Nationite Nanite N2 and till now everything was going fine, but my player stops detecting the memory card(micro SD card) it skips the external media check duing the boot-up, but it used to check it before. Don't know what is the problem, also it...

Hi Guy's,   Long time reader of the forums here, and how fantastic they are too :) However it is my first post and so apologies in advance if it is the most very basic of questions and possibly one likely to split opinion.   Ultimately the story goes, I had an iPhone and have done for...

Is there any way to mod the 3rd generation iPod nano so as to install additional storage capacity?  Obviously, Apple intends that this can't be done, but it seems like it would be pretty straightforward to just crack it open and replace the memory chip with a higher-capacity one.

Hi,   I am currently planning on upgrading my portable music player. I'm pretty much stuck between these two devices (Ipod Classic & Cowon J3). I'm most likely going to amp the device with something like the RSA P-51 Mustang or the Pico Slim. Other suggestions for music players will also be...

important: equal or higher sound quality. 50+hours of playing. in fact. direct copying \ usb drive functionality. mp3\flac\wav support. (ogg\ape is optional) size about 75x35x20mm. (~3x1.4x0.8 inches) 16gb. (or less if sd support)   any suggestion?   i looked to teclast x19hd...

Here's my list:   1.  How do you get it to shuffle.  Did it accidentally once; but back to repeat now.   2.  How high does the volume go?  I could barely take 29 yesterday.  Let it run all night.  29 is only just above normal now.  I can only get it up to 31.  Don't tell me that is the...
