As the title says, I can't find my Gallery anymore. The old link is dead or leads to the message «The requested page could not be found. We may be updating this page, so check back at a later time!», resp. I hope all is still there and will be available again some day.

Hello HiFiMan It's maybe half a year since I got my V2 pads replaced because the «leather» skin has begun to separate from the foam filling... ...exactly like in the picture from TheAttorney (who had the same problem) above. Now I'm experiencing the same pad problem again. What's the...

I tried to download an up-to-date X5 II user manual from the official link on FiiiO's website. Unfortunately it doesn't work. An older user manual I found on the net sais nothing about DSD playback via an external DAC. But since there's a DoP setting for the coaxial output, it should work with...

Since X3 II, X5 and X5 II (seem to) use exactly the same 10-band octave equalizer, one single thread may be adequate for my concern: Could the FiiO responsibles (Joe Bloggs?) please post the frequency-response curves of the equalizers? I'm highly interested to finally see them, since I use the...

Hi   My E-MU 1212M has quit working. So I'm looking for a new (USB) soundcard. Preconditions: 192 kHz recording capability and MIDI interface. It doesn't have to be professional grade nor offer microphone inputs (though it would be a nice bonus) – I was satisfied with the sound quality of the...

Compared to the old forum software splitting quotes is a pain to do. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of trial and error if you want to get proper quote fields without unnecessary empty lines.   Anyone has noticed how arbitrary the software puts some empty lines here and there, above or...

I've discovered a few empty quote boxes – now named «Code» instead – on a page with missing attachment pictures (post #8).

The lack of smilies in older posts, which apparently have all disappeared, makes it hard to feel the tone behind some statements. Moreover all attachments have gone lost, and there's no access to them in the profile anymore. Which also means that all pictures linked to attachments are missing.

I guess the computer section is the more adequate place for my problem than the portable-source forum. I have a new Sansa Clip+ with 8 GB (firmware: V201.01.05F). I'm planning to upgrade it with a 32 GB microSDHC card. For now I have filled the internal drive with MP3 files. USB is set to MSC...

The sound quality of my iAudio 7 is great for my demands, especially thanks to its built-in semi-parametric equalizer allowing for an almost ideal compensation of the common sonic-balance issues of portable earphones. Its 16 GB flash memory is halfways large enough for the best tunes from my MP3...

I thought it would be a good idea to make for access to my preferred equalizer settings with my preferred portable earphones on the iAudio 7 with its semi-parametric equalizer. The goal was as flat a preceived frequency response as possible. Here they are: Sennheiser PX 100 80 Hz . ...

Actually I'm perfectly happy with my HD 800, at the latest after modification. But I'm curious if the sound can be further improved. So what sonic difference does the new cable make on your pair compared to the stock cable? .

Actually I never found the HD 800's bass too weak, it rather had too much treble to my ears, particularly out of the box. Break-in helped a lot, and finally I could enjoy it, and it was the best (most honest/accurate/natural sounding) headphone I've heard. One day I was philosophizing about the...

Just snapped up from the German HiFi Forum (translated): Quote: I had a brief listen to the HD 800 at my hi-fi dealer. I can't make a judgement, because the listening impression was much too short. But I was told along the way by the dealer that he's got some info from Sennheiser that...

Bought it yesterday -- for CHF 99.–. Initially the wearing comfort was a bit ambivalent -- comfortable for a short period and less so after a few minutes --, but meanwhile, with reduced clamping force, it's quite easy on the ears and doesn't hurt anymore. Fit and hold are good. Is this...

I will add a few more frequency-response graphs published some time ago in the German magazine «Stereoplay» (1/07). As expressed in several post, they match my own sonic impressions better than the HeadRoom graphs (which show a uniform «distortion» throughout the product palette)...

There's an old thread with the same topic, but it doesn't hurt to create a new one -- since many people will have auditioned new headphones in the meantime. It would be nice if you could follow these rules: The headphones you currently own are bold; the headphones you have owned are bold...

. . I thought it is a good idea to revive a closed thread to offer another view on and my own experience with the K 701. Quote: Originally Posted by vai-777 What's the HYPE with the AKG 701?[/b] I have a pair and have done some extensive A/B tests between the SENN HD 600 and...

. Here's the answer I got from Dalibor Beric, editor «Test und Technik» at Stereoplay, one of the three main hi-fi magazines in Germany: We audition cables in blind tests, although not the mentioned DBTs. So the corresponding cables are unknown to the test persons, but we always listen...

. ...whose USB connector has just died. It should have 1-4 GB storage capacity, true shuffle play and a graphic or parametric 4- or 5-band equalizer. Of course one of the main criteria is good sound quality of the headphone out, also no or little bass drop-off at low impedances. I've...

I've done it! Cut the K 701's cable down to 1.25 m. It has paid off sonically, more so than I hoped for. The treble sparkle I was missing when comparing it to the HD 650 is finally there and makes for an overall increase of smoothness, also smoothing the previously slightly inhomogeneous...

Although I'm still faltering back and forth, I think my electrostats are good enough to deserve a better amp at last. My trusty old SRM-T1 still sounds good, but the SRM-313 I had with me for a few days sounded clearly better -- better extension and better dynamics. So my aspirations were...

... After replacing the LAME.exe 3.96 in the RazorLame folder against version 3.97 (beta), I get the following error message after encoding: Quote: Command: F:\Programme\RazorLame\Lame.exe --preset extreme "H:\Wave\Eigenkompositionen\Voekt - Arethusa.wav" "H:\Temp.Wave\Voekt -...

. I had a few fascinating days with Jan's DAC prototype -- in the not so unfamiliar function as guinea pig for his new gear. There were a few teething problems in the form of stray pick-up interferences -- which Jan himself considers fixed in his own copy --, but when it comes to the sound, I'm...

Just discovered today: Certain keywords in posts, such as Preamp, Sony, Sennheiser, Cable, Audio, Speakers, etc., now are underlined by both a solid and an interrupted line and linked to a sort of bubble advertisement appearing as soon as you point your mouse pointer on it. I'm very much...
