I was a Ipod fan for years. Started with a 20 gig Photo then a Imod then a classic and so on. I always thought the sound could be better. Tried using the Eq on the classic but to no good. Tried many different amps. I have waited for months and got the Zen amps tried the SR-71 plus about 10 other amps. Headphones I have tried many Senns 595, 650,Px-100, Grados, Shures,
Plus many more. Anyway I always thought the ipod was the best so I spent a lot of money trying to improve the sound but still keeping the ipod as a source.
Reading these post about the sound quaility of the Sony players I decided to try one. Being on a budget inplemented by my wife I found a NWZ-639 on ebay and bought it. That little player has turned my listening world upside down. Now I have the Bass Mids and Highs like I want them. Depth and Fullness of the music is incredible. The eq does not clip out like on the ipod. I am saving up to try to get a x series player in the future.
I am not bashing ipod in any way. Just stating that I have found the type of sound that I like.
I had to switch from Lossless to 320 but I am getting better sound so what difference does it make.
Now I have a couple of questions please. My current set up is S639 - Bithead - HD25-1 II. If I got a T3 and took away the Bithead do you think I would degrade the sound any. I am trying to get my setup where it will fit in my pocket. Also would the x series sony drive the HD-25 as good with out an amp as with an amp. The best senerio would be to do away with the amp if I could still get the same sound as with an amp. I am after soung quaility and not quanity.
