Helllo guys,   Currently my setup is this: PC--> Corda Cantate DAC/amp --> Sennheiser HD600 w. Cardas.   How much would I gain from a Sennheiser HD800, considering the Cantate isn't quite such a high-end DAC/Amp.   To which extent would the HD800 be an upgrade over the HD600 in my...

Quick question guys. If you use a dockconnector-to-rca cable and connect it to a dac/amp, in my case a Corda Cantate, does the audio signal bypass the iPod's internal DAC?

Hi everybody, I'm looking into the cd-player as source world and I could use some advice from you guys.   Currently my rig is: Computer--> Corda Cantate DAC/Amp --> Headphones   My music is ripped to 320 kbps, I found that when I listen to to a cd via my computer, it sounds a lot better...

It's been a while since I last posted here, but the upgrade bug has been trying to bite me as of late.   Currently I own a Meier Audio Corda Cantate and I am wondering how it stacks up with Corda's current line-up, being the Rock, Jazz and Classic.   I am aware that the Corda has a...

I have a question about the current PSP Go promotion deal in Europe where you buy a PSP Go you get to download 10 games for free from the PSN store. Here is the situation. On some big sites it clearly says that you can download the free games, but the PSP's are quitte expensive on those sites...

I was reading a few other threads and it got me thinking what would be my perfect headphone experience. It would be great to see what the rest of you guys have as your audio nirvana.   Currently have:    Home: PC --> Corda Cantate --> HD600 (w. cardas) / AKG K701   Portable: iPod...

Hi guys,   I am in need of a new portable headphone for the summertime and my vacation.   I will be using it without an amp out of my iTouch and Macbook Pro. My ety ER4P will still be my main portable monitors. But I want a pair to sit outside with and enjoy the sun.   I can get the...

Hi guys,   I am considering an amp (with LOD) for my portable setup. I have an iPod Touch 3g and a pair of Ety ER4P's. How much will my setup benefit from an amp? My second question is which amp fit my needs best: the iBasso T3, T4 or the Meier-Audio Headsix? These are my only options...

Hello, I have an iPod video30gb which I'm not using anymore since I bought an iPod Touch. I also have a pretty decent dvd collection. And I'm wondering if there is a way to watch my dvd's on my iPod without having to buy any software, I would also preferably not download any software, since...

Hi, Do you have to pay tax if you buy something secondhand on Head-Fi?? I live in europe but almost everything in the For Sale section is from the US. And if you do, are there any ways with which you don't have to pay (like the 'gift' trick)? Anybody with any experience with import tax?

I currently own an HD600 and an Ety ER4P. My amp is a Corda Cantate. I love my HD600 but with some genres (rock, metal) it sounds very slow and not very detailed. This is probably because I also have the ER4P which is very, very fast and detailed. My question is: Is it smart to buy the RS-1...

I'm looking at buying an Archos 5, but I've been managing my music collection with iTunes for years now and I've grown quite fond of it. Is it possible to sync an Archos 5 with iTunes? If not, which programs are recommended for syncing the Archos?

I am in need of a DAC/amp since I don't have one. I have a Senn HD600 and I will be buying a Grado RS-2 in the future (will use both). I have narrowed it down to the Travagan White and the Corda Cantate. Can you please give me advice on which I should purchuse. The Cantate is $520 and the...

I just ordered a Senn HD600 and I have a pair of Ety ER4P's. Now I'm looking for a decent dac/amp (portable or tabletop). I'm looking for something where you don't need a bunch of cables, just a usb cable and maybe a power cable. I am a little short on money so it should be under $500, but I...

I just found this amp while looking on the web and I have never heard of it but it looks good and it's cheap. I also did a search on Dynavox and couldn't find anything about it, does anybody know anything about them? And will they be able work well with Senn HD595? See link below...

Hi, I would like to purchase my first real IEM. And I have narrowed it down to these four: UE Super.fi 5pro, Westone UM2, Shure SE210 and Etymotic ER6i. I will NOT be using an Amp, so I don't want something that needs one to sound decent. I will be pairing it with an iPod 5G video. I mainly...

Hi I'm thinking of buying the Ety ER4P but 80% of my music is ripped at 128 kbs. Will they be too unforgiving or will I still be able to enjoy my music. Are the Shure se210's more foregiving or are they about the same?

Ok the donkey donut thing was just to get some attention.... there are so many advice threads, hope it worked. I cant decide between the ety Er-6i and the shure se210, can somebody please compare the 2 for me. The most important thing for me is sound quality and second is comfort. I have been...

How does the shure se210 compare with the er-6i? Wich one has the best sound quality?

Hi I'm new here and I know jack-crap bout headphones. I would like to buy a pair of headphones. I already have a pair of ety er-6i in ears but I'm also thinking about buying a pair of headphones. 1. Do headphones drain youre iPod battery quicker than normal in-ears? I'm looking at a 50 ohm...
