Anyone knows which specifications the wall charger have to be to charge the nx1?

 
It's a standard USB 5V so whatever phone charge you've got is fine.

It's always entertaining to read how much a cable (alleged) improves the sound

And just as entertaining watching members trying to shoot down others for simply enjoying their hobby.

Received my cables in the past 2 days.



Currently using the Quad Braid Audio Minor SPC OFC Cryoed cable connecting a Clip Zip to NX1 driving the Havi B3 Pro 1. This cable brings out much more details than the Fiio cable I was initially using. It has a slighty brighter but fuller sound across the highs,mids and low. With this cable, the bass seems to dig deeper with a touch more weight. It also recreate a more precise soundstage and easier to pinpoint instrument location within the stage. It all adds up to be a very enjoyable budget setup which sounds more than what it cost in total outlay.

Thanks H2O for this discovery and to all those who stand by it. For the total cost I paid, I really didn't expect such quality. Cheers.


Looks good mate, I see onest11 has done a different braid on your silver cable, mines much tighter like a hair plait instead.

Enjoy your new toys.

Are you trying to turn this into a debate about cables like what happens to so many threads.

It's just a personal opinion i'm putting forth. Is there anything wrong stating what I heard?

To sumnarised what you have highlighted, it just simply the cable sending out a cleaner signal thus making it sounds the way I heard it.

I'm not gonna derail this thread so this would my last post here. I'll just delete the post and unsubscribe from this thread.

Last but not least, thanks to H2O and all who have contributed to this thread leading me to this wonderful piece of gear.

Thanks for the kind words H2O, what I ordered was a quad braid so the braiding is a little different. It's the best I have right now and keeping it for use with my incoming amp. Thanks for the recomnendation mate. will update you thru pm once it's setup.

Done. Sorry. My bad.
 
 
... I just couldn't resist. As it was written, it read like one was moving from a gaming headset to headphone like the K701.
But I understand, that this is a hobby and if one hears that kind of differences, why not spending the extra money for high-quality cables.

better cable can reduce background noise? My nx1 has a considerable background noise...

I my opinion, a reasonable cable (for me, this is normally at a price level of about 10€), with proper shielding could help.
But if you don't have a super cheap cable, I would not expect too much.

I use this one in combination with my iPod Touch 4G: http://www.amazon.de/FiiO-L10-Line-out-Verl%C3%A4ngerte-version/dp/B005DK08X6/ref=cm_pdp_rev_itm_title_3
 
And this one with my MS Surface 2: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007SUQUAE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
With neither I have background issues on the NX1 (Sony MH1 nor Beyer DT 880).
 
 
EDIT:
Haven't tried the stock cables though.
