    Yes I wonder, what Mp3player Dt1350 will give these headphones justice...   I have heard Sansa clip+ is good..but I am also afraid its small size does maybe compromise on sound quality.   What mp3player should I buy ?

    Torn between Ipod Touch 4g vs Ipod Classic 160gb vs Cowon X7 vs Cowon J3

    Here is what I know: cowon x7 and j3 sound quality is the same. with J3 i get a pants-wettingly good screen and with X7 i get easy music management/usb hard drive. With both, music management and sound quality is amazing, but with both i've read multiple reviews about bad build quality and...

    I coupled one of world's finest headphones to J3 and saw J3's true colors. The end of portable amps?

    So, I was lucky to find J3 in a brick and mortar shop in Dubai selling only one Cowon - J3. No online ordering, no waiting, no shipping charges and no customs. I bought it instantly based on your recommendations here. I know quite well about Cowon and always feel sorry that it's not a known...

    3G 64GB Touch - sound quality ?

    I have a 3G Touch, but its the 8GB model - very ordinary. I seem to recall that the 32 and 64GB models got the iPhone DAC and were much better - anyone ? It looks like I may have lost my 4G Nano and I want that same sound quality in a Touch - the catch is that I can get the 3G for a sensational...

    IMOD SSD vs IPOD + AlgoRhythm Solo

    For the last few years, I have been using an IPOD classic 160Gb + a Shure entry level sound isolating earphone for travel use. Been thinking of getting something better.   While browsing for cables for the Audeze LCD-2 (again, a recent aquisition still on the way from far away), saw on the...

    Hifiman HM-801 sounds no better than my iPod Touch 3G...

    I never really done this test. Unfortunately, I realized I fell prey of placebo. I was able to tell that aftermarket " higher quality " cables were rip offs because after letting my TWag IEM cable burn in for the stated 300 hours I later returned it because I could hear no significant increase...

    Birthday portable DAP recommendation

    My b-day is coming up and I'm looking to get a portable DAP. I was thinking Fuze+ but it has no rockbox support and I'm looking for 32gig minimum (since I've been redoing my entire library in flac).

    Ipod + Dock Line In > Better than Cowon SQ?

    I have been hear a lot about how people are avoiding the internal amp inside their ipod by using a line in. If I used this method to connect to an ibasso t3 or something similar, would the sound quality rival or even rival a Cowon product(j3, D3, ect)?

    Thinking about Cowon J3...

    Hi!   So I'm fed up with iPod right now. It's not a matter of sound quality or lack of FLAC support; that's the least of my worries here. My problem is the software and firmware. I'm sorry but iTunes is a b***h to work with. For some reason it randomly rejects my music files at times. And...

    thinnest DAP?

    Want to pair off something with a Practical Devices XM5, but would like to keep it as pocket-portable as possible. What are the options for a decent SQ? iPod nano 3rd gen? Fuze? GoGear Ariaz?

    Zune HD and headphone amp

    Just purchased a Zune HD refurb for cheap before I realized that it doesn't support LOD  xD   The headphone out does sound pretty **** good as is, but am wondering if it's wise or necessary to add a headphone amp if your cans don't need the extra power? (Denon ADH-2000) If it may sound...
