@IC-silencer :Thank you for your answer, very interesting for me.
If the VAIO sounds good with the E3s, it doesn't matter if the EQ is so poor...

Besides pop and rock, did you also try with other kind of music (classical, jazz, vocal, ...) ?

P.S. : your english is good enough for me, I'm french !

There are 92% rock and pop; 4% classic and 4% jazz on my harddisk. And i am very satisfied with the other 8%. Very detailed and warm sound!!! But i think (i've never tried) with Ety E4P earphones this player plays like Mozart/Miles Davis. With Shure E3c it plays like Beethoven/Coltrane. I hope this was a help for you!!!

This combo (Sure E3c + Sony Vaio Pocket) is unbeatable for Pop and Rock!

Shure E3 + Rio Karma. You really appreciate the equaliser when you can hear every little tweak.

Hum, I'd prefer if it played (with shure E3, of course) like Schumann/Stan Getz

P.S. @IC-Silencer : und wie klingt's mit Heino ?

 

[mr.karmalicious]

The EQ on the Karma is unbeatable, really... I've got E3's too, it's great. Cowon is nice, too.

M3 is a beautiful device with great sound. UX could be a bit better at first, but you quickly get used to it and it works just fine.

I do too, but I find CDs are often unbalanced and require EQing to bring the sound back to being natural.

See ya

I would look for a DAP with OGG playback..I've compared OGG and MP3, and OGG blows the door off MP3. It's not the "marginally" better sounding format, as Micromart stated last month.

lame 3.96.1 alt preset standard or v4. I personaly use alt preset insane. the difference between a finely tuned mp3 and ogg is negligble. If lower bitrates performance and file size are important then ogg is the way to go, but everything will play mp3...(except for sony's

) kidding about the sonys.

The iriver h100, 300 is awesome. The best sounding and has the ogg opition. It dosent have an eq like the karma, an interface of the ipod, or the size of the cowon, but I love it.

How are 100% digital signals rightly considered to posses a "natural sound." Natural compared to what?

 

[waltermeyer]

Man how many times can the same question be discussed?

Digital signals don't sound at all. What he was referring to was the amped analog signal.

I bought a Creative Zen Touch 20Gb two weeks ago. It was mainly between it and the DJ. I play lossless formats (Karma's Flac support is sweet but its too ugly to me...I wanted one to match my Passats Blue interior lighting) and sound quality was very imortant to me. I think Creative makes the DJ's guts, so they sound the same. I liked the Zen's looks better and the battery life is unreal. Soon I'll integrate it into the car, for now it it sounds awesome with all my ripped CD's and live ROIO's. I just got some Panasonic HDJ-650 canels, and the comfort and sound is very nice indeed.

I just also got a new laptop..Dell Inspiron 9300 (17" WXGA, P-M, Go6800-256Mb..killer!!!) and it and the Zen match perfect! White and Silver and Blue lighting....I mean PERFECT! Is there such thing as digital karma? LOL!
