Guys can you recommend a good mobile amp/DAC for $250 to $300. I'm waiting on the OPPO HA2 to see if they can defeat the JDS C5D

Someone was wondering where to buy the ear guides from. I just came across some neat looking ear guides/hooks for cheap here ($5 for 2 pairs, free shipping):

Pretty useful if your cable carries noise, or if you just need to wear any earphone over the ear.

You can also buy the Sony S2 sports earbuds, the JOZ1 from ebay and get both a solid sounding pair of ear buds and a good pair of ear guides for $8.99 shipped. This one I bought is US only though...

Perfect! I had a little bonus $5 on eBay, so only $4 for me.

Cool! Though the included foams are as old as the buds so they may rip as mine did when putting them on, lol. They fit me better w/o the ear guides for the best sound but also they stay in well for me w/o the guides.  Interested to hear vs. the MC5.
 
Though I'd recommend the Sony MDR-E0921 over these for sound. These if you want the ear guides

Thanks for the interest.
Can't seem to get any pictures uploaded....what you have to do is cut an "access panel" in the area/case above the op-amp socket so as you can fit in this adapter http://tamaudio.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=39_46&product_id=115 or similar, the dual to mono op-amp adapter will sit slightly outside the outer case like an American hot-rod.I have also added a class A mod in the form of a CRD. 
 
I found the original LME49720 dual op-amp lacked sparkle and stereo imagery, maybe the burr-brown option is "better" however the opa627's made me immediately stop having to use the equalizer tweaks when using VLC, much clearer and crisper...and expensive..!!
 
Really good portable amp for driving "difficult" headphones as I found my nexus7 wasn't really up to the job of driving most headphones without "hardening up", those bipolars you can see are 50W jobs.
 
P.S if you can advise on how to upload pictures, I will upload the pictures i took;.

But earbuds...I wouldn't want them for any price.

Can't link to the Ostry homepage today. Any news?? Maybe the new info/product pages are going up? Are we close to the KC08 and/or KC07?

Hey man....earbuds get a bad rap but some are pretty awesome. Don't knock em till you tried a good pair.

Earbuds are my favorite! So much fun. Just ordered a pair of Yuin Pk3s, can't wait to get them.

My ~$9 Sony E0921 buds out of the Fiio X1 and E11K beats the Titan 1 and even the Aurisonics Rockets. Absolutely beautiful sound. Top 5 all time for me.

Sony does make some of the best sound signatures I've ever heard. Would you think they're better than the Yuin earbuds? Because if they are? Then, I'll give these Sony's a shot! I looked them up and saw some picks.....they look pretty good! My current favorite and only earbud I carry are my Edifier H185, which competes head to head with Yuin. I'll definitely try the E0921's, thanks for the info.
