yes, people do have to make LODs with RA connectors; hehe, been doing that for ages.

 

[h.rav]

Not anymore, I only use iPod + Senn IE8 for my portable setup.

 

[knights]

why not?...afterall t4 on the back of touch isnt noticble at all... before i acquired touch+t4 combo, i always bring ipod+boa with hands..yes, with bare hands

Used to, but then my E5's HP jack started shorting so I stopped using it (also noticed it muddied up the low end a bit, even with bass boost off, at least in my rig). Then my E250's HP jack screwed up too (left channel doesn't work) so I've been without any portable tunes for about a week. Considering the condition of my Vibes I fully expected them to be the first component of my portable rig to give out but they're still goin; krazy glue, heatshrink and hockey tape and all!

Next I'm gonna get a 5.5g 80gb iPod, Rockbox it, get an LOD (probably a SendStation, especially if I end up buying a 2nd hand iPod with no accessories) and an iBasso T4. Then I'll be happy again! Then all I'll have to do is decide what headphones to replace my Vibes with...thinking ER4Ps or Turbines or something if I can find ER4Ps for cheap and can get them (missed an opportunity today because of buying my TV

).

But yes, I always use a portable amp (if I have one!) I even gave my friend my old E3 and am slowly converting him, soon I'll have to start apologizing for his wallet

Fiio E5 in public yes, but if I have anything bigger than my iPod, I would reconsider. So many snatchers in my place!

I bought a case for the iPod so now it is just as big as the Voyager. I do amp my iPod in the library. and everybody wonders what's that box with all that cables

Sorry for OT, but that's a common problem with E2xx players. One of the wires comes off the HP jack on the inside. It's a 15 min fix if you've got a soldering iron.

Yes on public except at airport.

I usually have it in my hand or in my pocket.

Sorry for OT as well, but I knew it was fixable somehow...I don't have a soldering iron nor do I have any soldering skill. I've got a replacement E250 on the way anyways (bought from a fellow Head-Fier

) but I may get a soldering iron and see if I can fix it anyway.

Yeah a $20 sansa is as good a place as any to start

There are pictorial tutorials on abiforums on how to do it. Good luck!

 

[knights]

well, i still frequently use this rig in public...

 

[paaj]

used to, ipod/hornet combo with sr125 but it was just a bit impractical and now with ESW10 it actually sounds just as good without amp, it's mostly in the city / public transport anyway.

portably, the K271 had the best benefit from an amp, and the HD650 liked one too

but I sold the Hornet and K271 and only use the ESW10 now.

Why yes it is. Cost less than 10 bucks. Dropped it the other day too pretty good, and not one scratch

 

[Judge Buff]

My E5 clips nicely to my Zune skin.
