Do you mean in general? I'd say no more than $40 for a 30gb in decent condition (no major dents, components don't need to be replaced).
Jackson Gomez
Thanks user! Just looking for a cheap pmp, and an used ipod seems to be a good choice
Liam Watson
Thread is also for the discussion of IEMs, as a little thing to note.
Anyway, looking for a PMP with a flexible PEQ and 20+ hrs of battery. 2 Vrms or more output preferred.

It still needs to be cleaned up a little.
Juan Morales
An M0 is all you need, an M11 is for that extra bit of quality and more freedom of use since it's Android.
How is your experience with the m11 so far? Is the android experience worth it? How about the battery life?
Mason Morris
hey DM6 weeb did you get one of the early DM6s or did you get the V shaped one? Do you plan on upgrading?
William Mitchell
Battery life is great, can go for 2 days of music playback with ease given that you aren't streaming or playing DSDs all the time. The Android systems is great, you can basically get everything you need and customize it however you like. The only gripe I have with it is the lack of Google play services but that in itself could be a plus ( less botnet and battery draining services ).
One annoying thing is the screen calibration, the white point is at a very cool point, and I'm yet to find a way to fix it without root which is not possible as far as i know currently.
There is a V shaped DM6?? My set are from the first batch they had before the hype got big. I tried the S8F recently and didn't find it to my liking, if i do upgrade I'm thinking of checking out the T800.
Hey guys, Today I saw a guy on train carry a PMP but I couldn't figure out which one was it. It looked kinda like iPod classic in shiny aluminum case and it had a black "dial" (not sure if it was a scroll wheel like iPod or just for decoration).
Anyone know what that was? He also had a Chord Mojo attached to it with a rubber band.
Leo Davis
ram & rem? who did the customization? looks nice.
Josiah Collins
Pls respond.
How bad would it be to pair a FiiO E10K with HD650?
I'm in Canada and availability is shit for sub 250$ amp/dac. Everything seems to need to be bought from the USA bumping the price significantly.
Has anyone else been using the rockbox port on the m3k? I've had some issues with changing any audio where rebooting has the device perpetually muted unless I reset all settings. Not the biggest deal but still buggy. Still much faster than stock FW but it sucks switching back and forth if I wanna add music
>FiiO X5 yep! that's it. also, I had no idea Chord Mojo was that small in person. I saw it in pics online and it appeared bigger than it was. the price is ridiculous tho. >just ask the chink when ordering it is silkscreened or do they embed an image into the epoxy or something?
You wont find much like this at this price. extend your budget and look at the fiio fa1 or rose mini 2 mk2

looking for a player with a kinda neutral/bright sound signature for my new final heaven IV. Its a BA set so it needs a relatively low impedance. i have around a $100 budget and i live in america.
Lucas Brown
new in box or used?
Samuel Johnson
Lol. Unless your dap sucks ass it's going to sound the same as any other good dap. Shanling M0 is under 2 Ohm output impedance and has been tested and tested again here and elsewhere. Lots of features too. >Red and silver Ugly but cheap.

I've been recommended Earfuns here. I've ordered them but it's still a couple days until they come so idk how they actually are.
Wyatt Adams
>tfw can't decide between hd650 and HD600.
They're the same price here, can't decide if I want more clarity or more bass response/"fun". Is the "veil" problem as big as some people claim?
Maybe the key is to never listen to the HD600 ever so it doesn't ruin every other headphone.
Michael Garcia
A month. So far, great experience with it. I thought I'd use the BT functionality a lot, but i don't use like that so often.
Isaac Powell
used I agree on the colors but can't complain price wise.
Aaron Stewart
Is the break-in meme real or...well, a meme?
Zachary Thompson
A meme. No measurement has ever shown any constructive info on it. It´s mostly placebo.
Eli Miller
Dear anime friend, I'm getting my pair this week. I'll post my impressions here thoroughly.
How shit are phone DACs? Assuming I have good headphones and audio files. How much of a difference would I see going from a Galaxy s8 to maybe a simple ipod 5? I want to get into pmp's but dont really want to waste a shitload of money on something I might not see the biggest difference from. I guess I'm asking what's the least amount of money I could spend to actually see a difference
Jack Adams
HD600 all the way. >Is the "veil" pr it's total nonsense propagated by idiots.
Jacob Nelson
Just to be clear, the veil problem would be with HD650, not 600.
Jace Martin
neither of them has it. I've owned both and they're both great. but HD600 is more flat of the two and less colored.
Caleb Anderson
>I've owned both
Which one of them would you prefer to instrumental & electronic music? Almost none of the music I listen to has any vocals, and I do like to get some punchy/fun bass where it's needed, which is why I'm hesitant to get the HD600 if it's overly dry & analytical. Then again, I don't want to get the HD650 if it's losing me a shitton of clarity just for some boom.
Blake Sanchez
just go for HD600 for everything. these are the only cans that I can put on and listen to shit for 8hrs straight. they don't change the sound. you'll hear everything clearly the way it was meant to be heard. you can always EQ if you desire so. you can easily EQ HD600 to sound exactly like HD650 for example.
Nolan Cook
How do I prevent my ear-tip pieces from essentially falling apart over time? I listen to music a lot and it's mostly just from use. Anything I could do to make it a bit better on the pieces?
Michael Morris
Clean them if they get dirty. Take good care of them when not in use. And of course buy replacement tips when they do go. Silicone tips last longer than foams but they all eventually wear out.
Nathan Sanchez
Cute Tachibana. Planning on getting one as well.
Nolan Edwards
I use an old iphone 5s with a apple dongle. the problem is its only a 16gb and doesnt fit everything i have or even everything just the albums i listen to a lot.
brainlet question for hiby r3 fags. i have an album that shows up on the r3 split into two albums: >gateways to annihilation >gateways to annihiliation the typo isn't in the tags, any idea where the fuck could it be coming from?
Levi Morris
Who here still team iPod? I've tried a number of chinkshit players but they all have garbage software that works like shit. Got rid of them all. I dread the day when mine dies because a replacement will probably cost me >$1000. I'll probably buy a spare soon just to have a reserve.
I wanted one, but the sheer amount of issues of getting one in my country nowadays kept me away from it.
David Wilson
>sheer amount of issues I'm curious... what issues user?
Nolan Perry
Most users are selling them around here for ludicorous amounts of money (that is, for a device with 10+ years of use). Add to that the need for that Apple 30 pin cable, the fact that if I need new batteries I'll be screwed, shit that can happen with the HDD... I just wanted it for the positive feedback of the dial, not gonna lie.
30 pin cable is literally a $2 from chinkshit sites. batteries are still available for $10 HDDs are also cheap and can even be replaced with an SD or compact flash card.
Grayson Green
I know all of that, and none of those are struggles I'm willing to put up with when i can get a smaller, USB-C device for a fraction of the price. I understand your points, I just have mine as well, and I've chosen to stick with the M0
William Brooks
>mfw STILL no rockbox for FiiO X1 and probably never will be
My galaxy buds crapped out on me AFTER getting them replaced so I'm back to using my Gear IconX. I need a recommendation for decent truly wireless earphones that aren't exclusivly tied to a brand (like samsung)
Price doesnt matter, I just need to suggestions to look into.
Thinking of getting the M11 to go along with my HD600 with balanced cables. How hard am I getting memed on.
On paper, the M11 should be able to power the 600 but I don't know. Would a separate amp, like the A5, paired with the M11 be better?
Speaking of M11, anyone thinking of picking up the pro later this year?
John Peterson
Even fucking HE4XX's. I know, i've had both with me for some time, and kept the hifimans. Why? Because they actually have some sub-bass.

A bit more than Taotronics
Levi Jenkins
It's Rem and Megumin. I edited the psd files and then sent them over to the seller.
Luis Lee
What. Why not Rem & Ram? Sounds like you need to download more Ram.
Cooper Gomez
>file deleted oops, meant to put that with something I was halfway through typing, not this
Aaron Scott
which seller? >Rem and Megumin horrible matchup. should have picked Rem & Ram or Aqua and Megumin.
Adrian Robinson
To each his preference, plus I didn't want to go with the generic mainstream pairing that is Rem and Ram, so i decided on a unique pairing of characters that I adore.
The shop is BANGGOOD store but I don't recommend them at all, their delivery was trash and I had to wait very long time for my pair after they shipped it without tracking.
Ah shoot, meant to reply to you but replied to myself instead by mistake. Check my above reply. To make it up to you here is a watercolor piece that a friend made for me that you wont find anywhere.
If you can't search for the answers yourself I don't think you need to invest in them at all, just audition both and check for yourself

Just bought IER-M9 for $725 USD from my local store after some more negotiations.
I was tempted by Xelentos near me selling for ~$450 and perhaps picking up some other shit for ~300 but I've already got the XBA-A3, figured I didn't really need more DD bass. Just wanted the transparency and better highs with at least some semblance of bass relative to the Andros I tried. M9 trades a bit off the top but very much enjoyed my time demoing them moreso than I thought.
I use my Clip Zip to listen to music in the car (with an aux cable). But when it gets low on battery and I plug it in the 12V plug charger, it hisses like crazy and I have to stop listening to music. Is this normal (interference caused by the car/the pmp charging)? Is there an easy fix?
Kevin Brown
Ground loop isolator between the clip and stereo.

Interesting, thanks. Would those

is there anything decent that i can buy new and has support for rockbox? or all the decent players are discontinued?
