I would get the S3 and a Dac/Amp because:   1. I just got the S3. 2. You even said a phone upgrade was "due". 3. You could get something like the Headamp Pico DAC/Amp or RSA Predator for the S3 AND laptop. 4. The S3 is a GREAT phone and I really recommend it. Very customizable. Love...

You told us that you thought the Clip+ sounded better to your ears and that your ears don't lie. So we settled it the Clip+ is better.   Issued Resolved.   Why would you ask if you already know the Clip+ sounds better to your ears? If you have experience with the product and you enjoy it...

I LOVE how it's all even.

The S3 + Slim looks pretty nice, but there are SOOOOOOO many combinations. Should I just stick with S3 + Slim + IEMs, or is there something for around $500 ~ $700 that will beat or compete with the S3 combo? If the 2nd combo is better, the amp or whatever must create NO hiss for IEMs and I...

Ok I have been doing a TON of research and I really want the Samsung Galaxy S3 (US Variant), but there is not enough information out there for me to confirm the MANY questions that I have.    1. Does the S3 support Lossless or whatever the hell it is? 2. How does the Qualcomm WCD9310 DAC...

Hi, I am looking for a replacement cable for the headphones stated above.    I have found a lot of custom cable makers and I don't know what makes any of them different because I have no knowledge on cables.   What "brand" would you recommend?   I have been looking at Moon Audio...

Why shouldn't he buy customs?

Looks REALLY but how does the whole setup with gateway, passport, and Pan Am compare against the Cypher Labs AlgoRythm Solo + RX MK3-B ?

I think it's worth $150 more.   I think it looks better.   From many reviews it sounds better.   Better materials.   Can take a Sennheiser HD 650 cable for better sound (This is available for both HD 25 and amperior).   More damping in the ear cups.    From the Sennheiser...

Usually what I do is just contact Pelican and give them the dimensions of your headphones and what you are looking for and they can help you out.   Just measure the headphones in the configuration they will be in and e-mail it to them.   If you want to put an Amp/Dac in too add that into...

The PM that I had received had said that the BX100 sounds great (No denying that) it's just that the firmware is pretty glitchy/bad and I don't like dealing with that kind of stuff.    I can't seem to find any new iPod Classics under 6th generation that isn't like $300~$400 so I guess I must...

After a bit more researching, and PM'ing some people I think i have decided on getting an iPod Classic with CLAS+RX MK3. But i still have a couple questions.   What is an iMod?   When or if I decide to Rockbox the iPod, should I do it with the 5.5g or the 7g? Some people have said that...

I think the ALO RX MK3-B or the RSA SR-71B are more "portable" and the Objective 2 in more "transportable".    Do you also need a portable DAC? If so, the CLAS and RX MK3-B is a good combo for iDevices since they are the same size.

TBH I have really no idea on what any of that means. I guess Lossless is the best Audio File or whatever around, and should be taken from CDs. But how exactly do I do that? What is WAV and why do you need to convert it to FLAC or ALAC? What is 256K AAC, 320K VBR and what is a lossless file?

A Pelican Case would work well, but be sure to buy one of their silica gel desiccant to keep moisture away from the headphones and foam.

Well I am interested in knowing your rig. Could you post/show us your rig?

I felt as if he was attacking me so I tried to explain an example of another situation i guess. I know it's not that simple but he shouldn't be saying "is this guy about to plunk down that much on a portable player (something that can be stolen)?"   A Sansa Clip and a Fiio E6 can also be...

The setup and pair of Headphones DON'T have to cost the same. Some people might have a 2000 amp for a pair of $1000 LCD 2's or something. And who said I was going to buy $100 headphones? With all of that I will get basically desktop quality audio on-the-go and that is all I want.   So lets...

Also, on the iBasso DX100 device there is "phone", line out, optical, coaxial, gain, micro usb, and a big gold plated hole for a plug or something. Which would i use to connect to an amp like the RSA SR-71B or an Alo Audio RX MK3-B, and what does each of those "things" do?    Another thing...

Thanks for the answers, really opened my eyes. So from the looks of it the iBasso DX100 is the best DAP at this time and i guess i will be buying it soon. But how do you put music onto it? Might sound stupid but I am really familiar with the iTunes thing and don't have any idea on how to put...

So um i checked out the first page and wow a lot of info! But i still have some questions.    1. Can you go on the internet and access things like Head-Fi and Google on the iBasso DX100?   2. How/If do you connect an amp to the iBasso DX100? I know that the amp in the iBasso DX100...

Yeah I meant Dac... From what I have seen(...) Other MP3 Players(Not Apple Related) don't have a line-out so i can't use an Amp or whatever and they usually already have a "decent" Amp/DAC already installed. So I guess i have another question. How would the iBasso DX100 compete with an iPod...

I am just wondering, why do so many people use the iPod Classic? From what i have seen tons of people have it, yet most people say Cowon MP3 players have some of the best sound quality. Is it because of the storage space? Is it because it's so cheap? Is it because the looks? What is it?

After researching a bit more I think that the Amp bypasses the devices controls or something and the audio goes through the amp and filters it out i guess. So because i now know this i also know that I don't need an Audiophile MP3 player.

I was looking at some MP3 players like the Colorfly C4, iBasso DX100, etc. and they look really nice and I kind of want to buy one. But I have an iPhone and was thinking if i needed to get one of those MP3 players if i had a "good" amp like a Fiio E17 or something. If i were to get one of those...
