DAP with dedicated line out/ streaming
I'd like to use this in my living room rather than a (large) dedicated streamer + DAC - it's just to save on space. Amp power is not a factor as I will use a separate amp. Not interested in lots of features, just sound quality + ability to use with Amazon Music HD + dedicated line out for the...- John_M

Headphone out/ line-out difference?
Does anyone have any technical knowledge of this? As I see it: - The volume on my iPod line-out is the same as from the headphone out set at 100%. - The iPod therefore does not have an internal amp; it has a volume attenuator. - At 100% volume, the volume attenuator will perform no function...- John_M

Tomahawk problem
Can't get it to work. Can't get the red light to go on. What am I doing wrong? Brand new Duracell AAA batteries. The problem is that it isn't clear from the way the case is made which way in they go, and the batteries don't fit into their compartments in the same way they normally do with other...- John_M

HD650 or E500?

HD650 question
Does removing the foam on the inside make a difference? Is there anyone from a scientific background who knows one way or the other how sound is affected if it passes through foam? Please only answer if you're able to give a technical answer - no "OMG OMG I REMOVED TEH FOAM AND IT LIFTED TEH...- John_M

ATH-W5000 v HD650 or K701
What do you think? Anyone who's listened to the W5000s and at least one of the other two. A few sets of W5000s have been sold on head-fi - why did people get rid of them?- John_M

Best looking headphone?
I'd say the HE90s. Hope the HD700s (or whatever they are going to be called) duplicate the look.- John_M

Head-fi and BOSE
I've just read the thread containing the revalation (sic) about how head-fi members are connoisseur's (sic) of music (in contrast to the common BOSE-listening plebs). After I finished, I had my own "revalation." Head-fi members generally don't like BOSE. BOSE-bashing threads are always well...- John_M

Probably been answered a million times already
...but, in terms of bitrate, when do you stop noticing a difference? I've heard that CD quality is overkill. Is there (be honest) a difference between 320kbps mp3 and Apple Lossless?
