aleXmod is a deep mod of ancient Cowon X5 DAP, adding a serious DAC chip and headphone amplifier. More info at aleXmod - true audiophile tweak of cowon i-audio X5 DAP. As you can see on the picture, its size is the same to iPod 5.5 gen 80 GB, though aleXmod is thicker. Its developer...

Hi all, I've been using an iRiver iFP-899 for nearly 6 years. It was a perfect little DAP,with unbeliviable SQ, powered with simple AA battery (so I could still play my tunes while hiking in some God forsaken mountains, provided that I have a backpack filled with AA batteries), easy to use...

Ok, I don't know if my question is completely ridiculous but I was reading a thread about how the uDAC can be used with a iPad. Since the Sansa Clip+ does have mini USB slot, it should be able to work with a uDAC, right? At least I hope so. Currently, I'm using a Sansa Express>Receiver>Speakers...

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...

Picked up a refurbished Sansa Fuze on woot today, and I've been looking into amplifiers to use with it. I'm looking for something portable, but something I really don't like is when there's a large mismatch between the size of the DAP and the amp when they're stacked. that said, I'm looking for...

My clip+ headphone jack is loose I think. Sometimes the music will only play out of one ear (the right one) and I will have to push the headphone in tighter (or maneuver it around) just to get sound from both sides. 1. Is there a quick fix for this? For example, is there something I can buy...

Hello head-fi! I've been a huge fan of this site for quite some time and after lurking for months, finally decided to register.    I'm happy to say that after nearly 2 years of being totally without portable music, I'm finally in the market for a new rig. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed...

ok, it should be noted that even though this is an audiophile forum, my girlfriend is NOT an audiophile and has no idea about electronics/bitrates/hifi stuff. so audio quality is not an issue for her. it is, however, an issue for me, as i won't be able to stand by and just let her drop loads of...

my player is sansa clip+ and I am using vb with it, nice sound but I want a bit more sound stage. please suggest a good amp for wide sound stage.budget under 50$                                                                               advanced thanks

Or, if you don't know their impedance - how loud do they play for a given volume versus the stock apple earbuds out of a dap?   Cheers!!

A friend of mine has a 4gb clip+ that he somehow bricked. He cant remember what he did lol. I told him Id take a look at it. Any advise or links to how to fix? Thanks.

Is there anything like the Sansa clip+ (small, plays flash memory cards, portable for workouts) that has an AM radio too?  I don't want something that requires wifi or anything, just something I can take on walks and listen to talk radio on.  Any ideas? 

It seems as though, beyond iPods, which I simply dislike, there aren't many DAPs currently on sale in the US that can be Rockboxed.  What's currently available?  What's best?  I'd like to give Rockbox a try for the great EQ customization and crossfeed options, but don't want to invest a whole...

Hello everyone.   I'm considering acquiring a Cowon iAudio 7 because of its power, FLAC format, battery and size but since its so hard to get one I thought to get Sansa Clip +. I would use RE0 earphones and probably an E3 or E5 amplifier, what do you think about it? I like Clip+ because its...

I converted a bunch of music from mp3 (for walkman) to FLAC this morning. When I tried to put on my Clip, only about half of it would write to it. I've tried disconnecting the Clip from my computer and reconnecting it, checked to make sure the card wasn't full (still has over 6Gig free)...

I have the clip and I enjoy the sound, I may be getting a Fuze or a Clip + to replace it. How is the sound signature different between the 3? Thanks

Price level over here: €60 for NE-7M's, and €130 for Monster Turbine. I've narrowed it down to these two considering the IE7's are about €60 more.   I'm going to plug them into a Sansa Clip+ without amplifier.   I listen to hardstyle/nustyle, techtrance, indie, postrock, house, electro...

as the title states, I cannot find the right file to allow the rockbox installer program to install rockbox.   According to the web page, i need:   Clip +: An original firmware (OF), the bootloader, the normal Rockbox build.   I created a folder on my destop named "rbinstall" and...

Hi   My sansa clip just died and i am in need of a new player. sorry i havent been up to date with the best players and such.   my only requirements are a nice sounding player, memory is not a problem (atleast 8gb though), small and durable (i use it to workout), relatively cheap (but...

I'm thinking of picking up a Sansa Clip+ (8GB model most likely) and wanted to make the most of it, so I was thinking of rockboxing it. How difficult is the process? Is it just a matter of downloading the right file to the player and rebooting it? I have a spare 8GB micro SD card, so it’s...

I'm a basshead who likes to listen to music at high volumes with thumping bass, such as dubstep, drum and bass and hip-hop.I've been using my iPhone 3G with my HD25s and they've done the job very well.   However since I've ran out of my space on my iphone I need recommendations on a new PMP...

I've been combing the forums for a few days trying to figure out my best solution. I think I've got a decent one maybe, but I'm looking for any input from the knowledgeable persons that inhabit these forums because I'm fairly newbish when it comes to audio. :)   I'll start by describing my...

Hi all,   So, I just got a Sansa Clip+.  I'm using a pair of Etymotics ER-4P phones with them.  I think the combo sounds great, but on some songs I'd like a little more kick in the bass, a little more volume.  (sorry I don't know the audiophile way to put it.  I just want the volume to go to...

my earbuds that i use are shure se420s. but i may upgrade to something with a little more "zazz" in the future. im not a collector obviously. i try to find my taste and stick with it.   in the meantime i have these shures which happen to have the characteristic of craving a high quality...
