Hey bro, your thread there is 8 pages long. No wonder I didn't bother to pop in. Can you summarize again what you want the PC to do now cos if you want it to run linux I guess xonar essence stx and azutech xfi forte bouth can't How you intend to connect your subwoofer? I am not familiar with your subwoofer and speakers. I don't know if your speakers subwoofer can leverage your soundcard also Tone down PSU to HX 750 or get seasonic x750

IMO, if that is the range you are looking for, there is no player above cowon S9

Depends what you are looking for. Zen XFi2 supports FLAC btw S9 SQ is better, more options to tweak audio, and not to mention it is more expensive But Zen X-Fi2 got sd card slot

I thought somebody already asked about the driver in the past 2 pages and it was a no?

Try contacting Westone to see if they can tell you which shops in your area are retailers. Then do a simple thing by calling these shops to see which shops allow auditions. Get the earphones first if you like the sound, they make more difference than a portable amp do. I believe the Fiio E5 will be rarer in your area. See whether you can "survive" on the earphones alone first before you buy a amp

Have you listen to the amp first? Get your phone there to audition earphone + amp with your phone to decide. How small also no use if not to your taste

What player are you using btw?

I'll say stereo also, Jaben is just too packed.

warranty has some problems 1st, as said if they honor. 2nd, if you have to pay shipping to and fro when u rma Other thing will be If you buy it in Singapore, you can test on the spot that your set works

Not to mention their stickers and the way they just throw the disks around

I'm quite sure you meant vocals. I think UM1 for you. haven't really heard the metrofi. And sound is subjective, Better buy something that you can try first

It might be with the way you keep your phones when you are not using them. Westone UM1 is good if you like them, comes with 2 year warranty somemore BUT need to go through shop to ship back to repair

Your ++ is can kiss 300 dollars is it? Personally, I using Gigaworks T40 Series II. You can consider that. Should have offer at Sitex

You ripped at 320kbps also got distortion? Maybe Stereo will be kind enough to advise you if you let them hear the difference between your set and others

I think go back, audition their triple fi 10 on the same songs see got the issue a not

Sheesh, I see ear phone topic come in become headphones lolx

What player are you having? If non-iPod, I believe no need amp

Earz is now at Illuma, Bugis. Talking about CDs, I am now looking for 90s CDs. Regretted that then I did not have the money to buy and to rip. Nowadays dumping mp3s for lossless
