Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs)
You described them as intimate but said the soundstage was good. Have you heard the havi b3pro? How does the soundstage compare? I'm all about 3dsoundstage and holographic imaging. I like the havi but its a little too hard panned left and right rather than encompassing. Tuning on havi is near...- thoughtcriminal

The Cayin C5 portable power house.
How's the synergy with a set of akg q701? Chain would be iPod mini > lod > c5 >q701 Will the warm musicality of the Wolfson DAC and the "layered soundstage" pair well with the akgs massive sterile soundstage?- thoughtcriminal

Pictures of Your *Budget-Fi* Portable Rig (< $200)
Depends on the model. IPod mini and iPod 3g. The headphone out is an absolute no go but they are the best sounding I have for line out. IPod nano 1g sounds congested and rolled off on both ends, but otherwise OK (underpowered) through the 3.5 IPhone 3s sounds the best out the headphone jack of...- thoughtcriminal

If you use a lod with a 3.5mm output, sure. Running straight out of the headphone out into an amp is double amping through the junk internal amp- thoughtcriminal

Yeah this time next year that card will be 1/2 that. But its still worth it, not many iPods that big, flash memory or not Anyone know if something like this will work?

No it isn't. It only boosts the kick drum frequency and causes it to become rather uncontrolled. Damn near any other amp with a bass boost would be better. Actually the fiio e6 has a wicked bass boost to show the "you shoulda bought beats" kids how it's done.- thoughtcriminal
