Cheers! Thats a great  (and tough!) question. It would be between the Pana HJE900 and DBA-02. Not a slight on the orto's, they make certain genres sound magical. Unfortunately the one genre that I listen to the most (metal), it can be quite harsh (for distortion guitars). The DBA-02 and the Pana's do everything well, although I think the genres the orto's do well they do better than the other two. I also think I prefer the slightly more balanced and detailed sound of the DBA-02's, whereas the Pana's are more fun but less detailed. However the pana's build quality is a major factor too, the DBA's feel flimsy by comparison (I treat my IEM's well though). So if forced to choose at gunpoint, I would probably pick the DBA's. If I have to survive through a nuclear armageddon, the Pana's!

limpidglitch, LevA
Very cool setup, create photos also.

Certainly! It's Kizune's new Aero music player, you can download it at iaudiophile.net. It's fantastic, you can now make playlists on the go on the J3, its got a direct access button on the music player to the eq settings, ability to name custom eq's, very cool landscape mode, touchscreen volume control etc. Highly recommended!
