Hello everyone, first post in your rather informative forums, and as such i don't think there could be a better place to ask my question!   If I did somehow miss a thread containing my question during my search, please point me in that direction, if not then this thread should be of some...

It seems (part XV) was getting a little congested... So we'll start fresh...  

Hey everyone. So i ditched my Colorfly C3 and moved to the old iPods as they have space reliability and that much desired LOD. I have a 160GB 7th gen. And i love it except I hate the hard drive, I can hear it spinning, and i know their life isnt long. Also I have just bought an ipod video (5 or...

Hi guys and gals...   Just wondering how do you guys travel with your headphones and portable rigs while commuting. Especially more so for those traveling and using headphones with coiled cables.   By no means an elegant way of transport, here is how I go about with my Sony MDR-7505...

just thought i`d ask, very impressed with sound on my iPhone 4S and using my ultimate ears triple fi headphones was wondering if audio had improved, if that`s actually possible?   i have ordered a white 64 gig iPhone 5 2 days ago on Vodafone 

I don't know if this type of thread has ever been created, but I am interested in buying a high quality portable audio player that plays FLAC audio, as well as a high-end portable amplifier.

I am thinking of buying a secondhand iPhone 4 but not sure whether to buy a 4 or 4S. I am buying mainly as a music making phone with apps like Nanostudio and as a replacement for my Sony A829. Is the SQ comparable to the Sony DAPs? I am looking for clear detailed SQ with good bass and good...

I have kinda given my mother my Clip+ as I end up preferring my Galaxy Nexus with Poweramp EQ sound to the flat sound of Clip+. I am concerned that I will feel the same about iPod Classic. I have been strictly headphone out only as I prefer not to mess with LOD and amp as that would be another...

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...

Which is the best sounding portable regardless of price?  My research seems to indicate the iPod+CLAS?  I suppose adding the right DAC to that would improve things even further?

As an owner of an iPhone 4S that just got an offer to swap it for a Galaxy S3 i took a little while to convert the accurate measurements taken by the helpful and skilled guys of Goldenears.net   This is just a thread meant for reference aimed to guys that take into account objective data...

....and I'm looking for a new player. Unfortunately I cannot find the discontinued iAUDIO 7 anywhere online - if anyone knows where to buy (even refurbished is fine) it I'm all ears. As for its replacement, here's what I'm looking for: Absolute requirements: - 8 GB or more - Flash-based...

I've had a Clip+ for almost a year and just received a 7th generation iPod Classic. After listening to the Classic, the Clip+ has more detail and sounds more dynamic. I am surprised and disappointed.   Has anyone else experience the same?   Would the 4th generation Touch sound closer to...

Hi Everyone,   This is my first post here. I'm looking to buy a hifiman player. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the hifiman 601 and 602 ? is the 602 worth the extra money ?   I already have a cowon J3 and I am looking for a better sounding player.

Im looking to upgrade my Zune HD to a better sound quality DAP, I was looking at the Sansa Clip +. Do you think this would  be a better sound quality upgrade? I don't care for anything fancy like a 1080p screen or camera or any of that rubish. Im going to be using the Sansa Clip + with the Fiio...

Recently discovered MOG - very cool.    I've been using my phone, but am looking for something that's made for music playing that'll do wifi.  The only one that I'm aware of is iPod Touch.   Are there other players that have wifi capabilities?   Thanks.

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a high-end portable rig to use with my laptop as well, either USB or optical. Source could be an iPod or iBasso. Does such a rig exist? I'm cross eyed from trying to look back and forth between browser tabs trying to figure this out.    Any suggestions are...

Hi. I consider myself a kinda dormant amator audiophile that 20 years ago spent almost all my free time listening to musicand trying to make my home sound experience the better possible --that with a small bugjet, but I managed too -- and since some years ago I kinda went dormant because of...
