Thanks, yeah I decided to go with the left one which was louder before replaygain but I think sounded better. the album was terrible thats why i was looking at these remasters to see if there was actually a good one out there, im stil not sure they are much better.

Greetings audiophiles. I have been checking a bunch of my FLAC's with SPEK and found something very odd with 2 Oasis albums FLAC's I have. One is supposedly from a 2011 remaster (on the right), another is from a 2014 deluxe special edition remaster (on the left). Both are clearly legitimate...

Yeah I have booked a demo of the JH11, JH13v2 and JH16v2 on Sat 20th so I will see what super high end IEM's sound like, and I had better be VERY impressed or they aren't getting a penny :P

I will have to go and demo them, I would expect them to easily smash the SE530 even without a perfect fit if I was going to go for it. I will ask them what happens if they come back and are not a perfect fit, and whether they will then charge for having to send them back to the US (assuming...

Ok thanks. I have never been hugely impressed with the SE530, but again I am no audiophile and have not had any decent phones other than my current SE530 and HD600. I love the HD600 and I was hugely impressed when I got them, but then they were the first decent heaphones I got of any kind so I...

I am considering getting some new high end custom moulded IEM's since my current SE530 cable is now splitting and even with a custom sleeve I am not sure the fit was that good (the sound was better with foam tips but they never stayed in properly), although they at least fitted better than any...

I heard the S7 was bad so perhaps it is better than that, but I have to compare it to my S5 and I don't think it is as good, although I might just be going mad. Has anyone else compared an exynos S8 to the european S5 G900f? URGH, now the cable on my SE530's has split near the ear piece (well...

I have the exynos S8+ and I am hugely disappointed with the sound. I am coming from my UK S5 which sounded great using my shure SE530 buds, but this S8 just sounds as flat as a pankcake. I can't describe it any other way, the bass is flat, vocals kinda seem like they are off in the distance...

Had a quick look at the W4, it seems the new version is W40 but they are supposedly just cosmetic changes.  They seem to be around £259 according to one place I found which puts them about the same price as the SE535, which are basically the same as the SE530 I have.  So I am wondering how much...

I have an old paid of HD600's which I've loved from the first minute I heard them and am still blown away every time I put them on.  However they aren't very practical to take with me on the train to work , would let the entire train hear what I am listening to, and can't be driven from my...

Ok I think I solved it.  Stupid me for thinking something as simple as disabling a sound device would not require a reboot to work properly.  I went through and disabled every single sound device other than the ODAC, THEN rebooted.  It is now playing those sounds through it ok!!  I did the same...

I just got an 02 amp and ODAC and they both seem to be working fine.  However I have just realised that I have sounds missing in windows 7.  When I go to sounds and click 'test' on any of the sounds, looking at the volume control in the system tray I can see that sound is being played but not...

I now have this confirmation from Sony UK after i asked them about this new software, here is the response (i also complained about their restriction stupidness hence his crap babble about DRM: "I am please to confirm that the web site you refer to is the official web site for the Sony...

eeeeeeerm the ENTIRE point of this thread is about *NOT* using sonicstage (as has been mentioned several times)

well according to the page it says transfer atrac AND mp3 using drag and drop method. i would guess u would need ss to convert as its not going to do it on the fly by the player itself (otherwise the player would have to ask you if you want to convert for every file you drop on the player)...

well it seems quite official that they ARE going to be releasing it, it seems to me this would be a firmware update to allow it to be changed to a ums, like the irivers have. Reading the claim that you open one window with the sony and another with your music files and simply drag and drop does...

Am looking very closely at getting the pink one for gfs birthday in couple week. However I used to own a minidisc and the sonicstage software I was forced to use was such complete crap I ended up not using it and selling the md. I have heard however that there was meant to be new software...

rio isnt a memory stick its a hdd player, its a lot bigger, and the battery life is only 15 hours, if i was going to do something like that id get an iriver h140 and have almost 10x the storage and 16 hours battery life. the new sony thing mentions "network walkman" and "sonicstage" both of...

I dont know of any new iriver but thought someone else might, save me buying one and find out theres a new model next week. dont need the crappy 0.3mp camera on that other thing, and they only go up to 512mb and are very expensive anyway. Am going to order an 899 as the 799's are the same...

Considering getting a nice new 1gb usb player to replace my minidisc and current plain usb memory stick. my requirements are: 1gb size good battery life, 16 hours bare minimum fm radio (good stereo reception) plug and play - no drivers needed to copy files etc to it in explorer fast...

anyone have any experience or know much about the freely available usb mp3 players on ebay (search for "mp3 512" or "mp3 1gb") that come from china. Considering getting one of these as it works out almost half the price of the creative one I could get here. A guy at work has one and it seems...

"I will keep a second cable with my laptop when I carry it around. So not having the port on the device doesn't bother me." so the cable is some sort of standard cable then? or do you get 2 of them? I was under the impression it was some sort of custom cable they supplied (which would mean...
