no problem. will get them up later tonight

hope this is ok HiFlight! let me know if you want me to take it down

the bottom two chips are the buffers. the top two are the custom mounted opamps that HiFlight made. they fit into a single slot. normally when you open up your d10 for the first time you would see a single chip there as per stock specs.

Thanks smallcaps, I have saved a copy of the image and filed it away.

BTW, just noticed in your sig the APureSound resistance adapter.

I have searched the forum to see if you have posted your observations and experiences but not much success.

Is there a link?

 

[smallcaps]

the APureSound resistance adapter is the first resistance adapter i have used and it does what it's suppose to do very well, adding 75 ohms to my low impedance headphones and iems so that i get cleaner background sounds (read: no hiss) from sources like my macbook pro and d10.

 

[rebski]

I can't say that I have been troubled by hiss from my IE8 with my D10 or even with the Sansa Clip.

Is it one of those things that are more noticeable on direct comparison. i.e. listen with the impedance adapter and then immediately listen without it?

Presumably you can tell the difference otherwise you wouldn't use it.

Perhaps when both my D10 and IE8 are both fully burned in then these things might be more apparent.

the d10 actually has a very good hp out and i don't really need it. it is very noticeable with my macbook. the hp out on the macbook is very hissy and with the ie8/impedance adapter combo this background hiss is gone.

Anyone got some links to those awesome recordings in which uses the soundstage and that (I think it's called bi-naural?) Listening to the virtual thunderstorm posted a few pages back and it's so cool.

No sorry but will Holophonic do for the time being?

same thing

 

[Tapemanpl]

i'm thinking about picking these up soon, i was wondering if these only come with the soft rubber tips, are there any tips that are included or purchasable that are stiffer?

Wow that sounded so real from my headphones, since there's an exit on my right-hand side from where I am sitting I literally turned my head to look if anyone was there, LOL

I saw about haircut it in previous posts of this thread, and then found a few more recordings

They called it 3D or Binaural. Well you can find them on internet if put those words in google

The clip keeps them dangling in the right place for them to be easily reinserted.

I see that i don't need to use ear hooks. Quite comfortable without them. And if i need to talk with somebody i just pull out the IE and talk

Don't need hook to hang the earphone on my ear, wire is enough

Hi smallcaps, thanks for the clarification. I had read that hiss is associated with low impedance headphones and that was a factor for concern when I first saw the spec for the IE8.

But then no one has reported experience with hiss.

From what you say, the source has a part to play as well. I shall pay closer attention when next I use my Sansa Clip though.

Ordered mine tonight. Not sure why they are cheaper here ($380AUD) than they are in the US ($450USD on earphonesolutions.com). Either way, I'm not complaining - bout time us Aussies get good prices!

i had a clip for some time before giving it to a friend and as i remember the ie8's sounded fine straight from the headphone out. you are absolutely right in regards to the impedance adapter helping lower impedance headphones sound cleaner connected to more powerful output amps/sources. i think you wont have any such problem from the clip but of course only your ears can tell
