Please use this thread if you are a big fan of small/micro audio technology. For me, this is the balance, or some may say compromise, between having the highest audio quality with the most portable and comfortable form factor.       At present my chosen ultra portable audio tech is a sandisk...

Dear friends, I bought a very decent cable for this but it's so stiff and short that the little Sansa player sticks out far from the Altoids can :-(   Is there any better idea for a cable that is short enough and mayne "U shaped" with 90 degrees 3.5 connectors to hold the Sansa close/stuck to...

I am currently building SSMH (Starving Student Millett Hybrid) amplifier and need a portable source that will be a good match for it. This will be for a bedroom headphone system but space is limited that's why I can't go with a desktop source like CD player or a turntable. HTPC is also out of...

As I was strolling through Best Buy today I saw SanDisk has a new sport clip? It's in between the size of the clip plus in the fuze. Is this new or am I missing something. I've never seen it before and I can't find anything about it even on the SanDisk website, they look pretty cool too...

Hi there,   I would like to get a new portable player for about 200 euros and I would appreciate any tips. I was looking at FiiO X3 and it looks pretty decent. Do you guys have any recommendations, is it good for that price, or can I get something more worthy in the same price range?:)   My...

I am giving up the idea of buying Sansa Fuze

I just bought sansa clip + and senheiser 380 HD pro. The sound from sansa is very distant for some reason :( I decided to buy it after reading all the excited posts on the site and now its very dissapointing... I have it in max and the sound is so low!!Is there something i can do? It cant give...

I have used a sansa clip plus for years now, having replaced them multiple times due to failure. They are so affordable i have been willing to repurchase as necessary. I will still use the clip at the gym, but I want something higher end for everything else I need a portable player for...

Hi guys, sorry if I am posting in the wrong section. I was wondering if you could help me here to decide which player is better? I was thinking of getting Sansa Clip+ but colleague of mine offered me to sell his Sony NW HD3. I would be using them with JVC HA-S500 portable headphones. He said its...

So I'm kind of new to this and I have a question. I did some searching and think I found the answer but want to make sure. I just ordered some Beyer 880 250 ohm and a Schiit Vali. I'm going to be playing these out of my iphone 5 as a transportable system. I then came across the sansa clip and...

Hello~ I'm new here at head-fi! Well, not exacty.. I've been lurking around but only recently created an account.. Anyways I'm looking for a DAP and am a little confused about the 3 in the title.. Some people claim that they are very different while others seem to believe they are almost...

My last mp3 player was my beloved Meizu M6 Miniplayer - but it's dead now :( I'm after something to replace it and was hoping for some advice. My only requirements are: non-proprietary cable, drag & drop file transfer, decent quality sound, reasonable interface, smallish size (ie not as big as a...

What are people's opinions on SanDisk's series? Mainly their sound qualities, are there any differences between them? Features-wise are they easy to use? Right now I'm leaning towards the Fuze+ unless there are any downsides to it compared to the other ones, thanks!

hello guys   I want to know if there is a portable player that can play music like flac files as analog files by itself and play the songs without me having to connect that player to a computer or a phone to get the analog outcome   thanks

Hi to everyone :) I have bought a Martin Logan Mikros 90, and the sound is incredible in my opinion. The Sansa Clip+ that I have, seems a bit poor in body for the Martin, anche I need to high up the volume too much!! Can you suggest me a new DAP that can easily drive the ML and that would be...

I was looking at the iPod Classic (7G) 160gb. Would that be the best option? Music library is fairly large. Keep in mind I am getting an RX 3-B and probably a DAC from them as well. Sooo, what would be my best choice?

Hi, I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones for my mp3/phone. Now, obviously I like high quality sound so after owning a few skullcandy earbuds that all broke I decided it was time get something serious.    At home I'm currently using AD700, before that I had yamaha rh-5ma. Plus a pretty...

Hi guys. I'm a little new to iem's. I have picked up pair of brainwavz m2 and really like their deep punch bass the way they present mids, but i feel I'm missing something in the highs. I mostly listen hip hop and find high hat goes missing. I also listen to jazz and a bit of rock and dustep...

Hey guys,   I'm going to try to tempt myself to get more fit - and what better way to do it than by giving myself some new audio gear.  :)   I'm looking for something that I can use to run / bike / hike with, so here is a list of what I'd like:   Must - Haves: * must play FLAC...

I'm kind of on a budget and I'd like to buy a new phone, but since I'd use it heavily for music, I started thinking about stuff. I know Nexus 5 would probably be perfect, but that's a bit too expensive. Then I thought I'd be glad with a Galaxy S3. I heard bad stuff about S2's sound quality...

I want the Clip Zip (for the radio) but I've heard some reliability issues with this model. The amazon rating is only 3.5 since a lot of people are getting dead units. Does anyone know if this is a hardware or firmware issue? Will getting rockbox for the Clip Zip make it more reliable?

Title says it all. Right now I'm using an iPod 160 gig classic and I also use a iPod touch 3rd gen 64 gig. They don't sound bad I guess but I'm sure there's better sounding out there. The hifi man DAP's are rather pricey and for a lack of a better description ugly. Considering I've talked to...
