i see.... y not just bite the bullet and chiong for ES1? u will be the first in sg to own those hot babes!

hey TS! have u gotten the triple fis? hows do they sound? Curious to noe how it sounds....

Ah i see.. hope to upgrade my um1s to um2s! but.... i am broke lol

Most people prefer to amp the headphone out instead of the line out.

hmm u mean in the case of the X5? but the X5 itself has an internal amp...right?

Then could you enlighten me why ipod user amp their DAPs using the line out docks?

Hey guys! i am intending to get the Iaudio X5 with an amp- Go vibes and Um1. However, i stumbled on a thread in head-fi forums that the line out in the sub pack for X5 is rather "weak" therefore i would like to ask if amping the X5 help improve the SQ?

Perhaps you guys could recommend me other sources which can be amped with the UM1s! thx

hmm wld Ipod fall short in terms of SQ when compared to Iaudio XL5?

Hey guys! Which Sources should i get which can support FLAC format and can be plugged in with an amp?

Currently using UM1 IEMs! Btw which amps do you guys recommend?

haha i went to get nivea lotion since uncle wilson said nivea haha

Ahhh no wonder Mr W told me to use nivea lotion some time last week when I hurt my ears with ER6 flanges. This solution kills 2 birds with one stone.

 

Your ears smells nice and the IEM slips right in easily.

Westone Um1 and Um2, Sennheiser CX300 In-Ear, Apple In-Ear, Etymotic Er4, Er6, Shure E2C

 

I heard about problems with people sleeping with Shure E3C, where the grey sleeve went too deep for extraction when they wake up.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi series are definitely not sleep-friendly unless switch-sides of the drivers. But not so sure about the comfort though.

 

There are also a few fellow forumers who nearly killed themselves when they toss and turn during their sleep with IEMs.

 

Have fun!

nearly killed themselves??

hmm been away due to prelims and recently rediscovered the small bag of nivea lotion which uncle wilson asked me to experiment on... sorrie for the late report uncle wilson

Previously in the UM1 topic, i asked how the triflanges can be soften. Uncle wilson told me experiemtn using nivea body lotion..hmm sounds odd eh? I soaked one of the the tri flanges uncle wilson provided and it worked!!! the tri flanges is softer compared to the untouched one.... still soaking and have yet tried it on but when i compressed it, it veri nua

hope this results helps =D

perhaps i can soak the other one in olive oil =D

sure

That is correct, but not highly recommended because although it is theoretically perfect, I think FLAC to WAV isn't advisable too.. but you can try and tell us the differences..

I think FLAC to WAV isn't advisable too

hmm care to explain??? btw read in wiki that its like zip format.. so if music files are zipped and i dl those.. isit uncompressed?? or it onli applies for files in music CDs.

An mp3 is a lossy codec. What this means is that it discards data during the encoding process. That means the data that was discarded is gone forever. You cannot reconstruct something out of nothing -therefore you can never get the "original" uncompressed song, no matter which lossless codec you use to transcode.

so ..hmm.. i can onli get back the uncompressed version of the song if it is encoded using lossless codecs?

wahhahaha.. i am even more confused.....so eg the apple lossless codec ... can it restore the original quality of the mp3 i dled off the net or .... someone pls help me!

thx

hmmm did a search within the forum archive.... and the net but i still have some prob...

wats the difference between lossless from apple and 320kbps and AIFF or FLAC.. still quite lost..

lossless data compression.. does it allow the original quality of the song to be constructed if i convert it using eg. apple's lossless.... for music files downloaded and ripped..

happi birthdae!!! dude!!!!!! )

yep it makes perfect sense to me mashimaro.. and i feel the same way too

wah though u mentioned that no cheem technica terms were used.. i still have difficulty understanding leh...hmm getting a little confused but thx for the info...

argh. i dont see many people around who wear headphones or IEMs.

 

so far, i only see ibuds all around, and mostly others are wearing clips-ons. at some times, i see a couple wearing sony canals (those where the cables rot).

 

so far, the only IEM i saw was a shure e2c late at night in a bus, and the only few headphones i saw was only sennheiser lower ends...

yep same here... been seeing ibuds everywhere..have yet seen anyone using headphones though.. the only IEMs i saw was mine
