Hey all. Im lookin for a desktop amp under $140. I have the hd 558, and when i plug it into a stereo reciever it sounds so much better than out of my sansa fuze. Btw i have all flac files. So, any reccomendations are welcome. Thanks so much for the time you take to help me.

I have owned my atrio x's for maybe 2 months now. And they definitely loosened up a tad (in a good way i mean) after approximately 100 hours just like everyone says (both atrio and atrio x are well known to need some burn in). And i loved them even when they were new. I guess im just checking...

I've found myself in a bit of a pickle.   I just started a new job where I'm wearing headphones and listening to music/podcasts for 8.5 hours at a time with 5-10 minute breaks thrown in every once and a while.  My job also requires me to listen for (sometimes quiet) announcements over PA...

I cannot believe this but i was having a tidy up today and found my phones that were with my sansa clip,so for a laugh i thought i'd open em and see how bad they really were. To my utter amazement i could not believe how incredible these sounded! After testing them out with certain pieces of...

  Hey fellow Head-fiers, I was looking around for a DAP and saw the Hifiman HM-602, and it looked spectacular, but i'm still a audio-newbie and that's way out of my budget. For now. So, i narrowed it down to these four - Sanza Clip+, Sanza Fuze, Cowon J3, Cowon S9. I was wondering if you guys...

Hello to everyone   this is my 1st post,  and basically I have owned the Sony NW-HD1 for a few years now,  it is an Atrac player ( no lossless )    I recently purchased a Sansa Fuze ,   and have spent sometime comparing the SQ.   The Sony has a seriously good high end sound,   the...

  Hi !   Some days ago I read an old review of Stax HPs. Let me quote a passage that struck my imagination very much   I found it disorienting to slip the headsets on and be immediately transported into the acoustic of the chapel—which makes me wonder how the characters on Star Trek...

Hey all-   I'll post this in their sponsor thread as well (edit - couldn't as the thread is locked, but here it is in case anybody wants to read about the management changes), but I wanted to make sure I stuck a note in this forum as well in case anybody ever searched.   A few months...

Is Sansa Fuze mp3 player enough to power REO, basically do I need a portable amp to go with it? Will I be ok with just the sansa fuze?

just what the title says

I'm looking for a decent set of headphones in the approximately $30 price range. From reading around the forums a bit, as well as Joker, and ClieOS threads, I've found the Meelectronics M6/M9's, as well as the Brainwavz M1. Are there any other notable IEM's in this range? The use would be for my...

Hey Guys recently i was reading about the s:flo2, and having a Sansa Fuze V2 Rockboxed, searched for comparison between the two.the fuze is less powerful was my conclusion, but people praised the s:flo2's LO. Now, i have a question, what would be better between the two Sansa Fuze LO>Amp>RE Zeros...

Hey Guys Recently i brought a pair of RE0s. am going to use it with an LOD (My source being a Sansa Fuze v2). i'd like to ask, what amp works great for the Sansa Fuze>LOD>Amp>RE0s combo? laying emphasis on DIY, i'd already chosen the Mini3. but i would like to know experiences you guys had...

I've looked around as much as possible, before feeling I just need to post and ask. I have decided to get the RE-ZERO over the RE-0. I know that the source will have a big impact on the quality that comes through these bad boys, and i know there's the whole balanced cord business as opposed to...

Hey guys! Need your help here!   I am looking to upgrade (in SQ) from my iPod classic and I am thinking on getting one of the players mentioned in the title. The ability to use an external amplifier (like E5) would be a nice to have feature, so, if I'm not mistaken, Clip+ and Fuze+ would be...

I'm interested in PK1 but was wondering if Fuze can drive this impedence monster Anyone has this combo setup?

So yeah, basically I am a noob searching for new phones (I'm open for both headphone/IEM recommendations) for my Sansa Fuze (no amp). From what I've heard, a-JAYS Two and Head-Direct RE-2 are quite nice and go well with my player. Any other ideas?   The music would be mostly Metal...

Hey guys..   As the title would suggest, I want to know if anyone has owned + heard the old school Muvo TX FM and compared it to the Sansa series of MP3 players.   I'm currently looking to purchase a Fuze/Clip/Clip+ and was wondering if the lauded SQ of these players stand up to the...

  Hello Fuze owners. This is what I got after lurking through the internet for v1 Fuzes.   Quote:   Saw this in Rockbox forum.   Can anyone confirm how reliable by comparing this 2 numbers are? I've seen some model numbers ends with xx-E75 even. ( Fuze v3? ) All that I know...

I'm finally motivated to exercising again (walking/jogging/weight lifting). Which DAP would you suggest for exercising? I was thinking about getting one of the new 16GB nanos, but thought I might be able to get a better sounding DAP for around the same price. I looked at few DAPs in the Cowon...

Hi there!    Well, I want to buy a new audio player, and I count with a budget up to US$ 200. I will use unamped HiFiMAN RE0 phones and I'll be listening to lossless and high bitrate MP3 audio files. I'm aiming specially towards sound quality and expandability (i.e. memory card(s) support)...

There are many MP3 players in the market and many of them are worth the money but what's the best portable music player (MP3 Player) that can meet everyone's needs in only audio terms. Of course I'm only speaking of players like the Cowon J3 or S9. Be specific on the details of your experience...

So, my iPod nano 5th got stolen along with Hippo Shroom-EB IEMs. I need a PMP that  is able to play loseless files and has 16 GB (or 8GB+microsd slot) for under 100$. I do not need video, I believe it'll be nice if I got something with a slightly warm sound since I'm going to be using RE0...

anyone have experience with replacing a fuze battery and where to get a real one from?   I dont want to sell or get rid of mine, but the battery only lasts a few hours now and i would love to replace it or at least learn how

Got it for jogging. This device is amazing! I don't hear any whitenoise with any of my headphones on the device. Even on my Triple-Fi no white-noise at full volume. People were saying how it isn't really a "line-out". Either-way it is a clean enough signal anyways! Of course it isn't as...
