I've heard you mention that before. By "portable amp", do you just mean an amp to support a sub in your car, or are you referring to something else?

[PakiDan]

A Macbook Pro

[EricB]

enough money to build and furnish a house.

That's not fair...thats the easy way out. I could have wished for money to have surgery to get a few ribs removed to accomplish what I posted earlier, but I did not.

It's a headphone amp. Makes music clearer and louder. For the clearer part, DAC is the most important thing, though.

A winning lottery ticket.

Probably going to give that to myself, though. Plan on getting a better one later.

[dirk4mvp]

IronMexican you have been on a rapid decline.

[IronMexican]

Agreed.

I feel out of the loop on half the things this forum has to offer nowadays.


All free time is spent arguing with /mu/ about bands you've never even heard of. I blame you, brah.

So, do you just plug your headphone jack into the amp, and plug the amp into your computer or mp3 player? (Sorry, I know these questions are prolly annoying. I've just never heard of one of those before you mentioned it.)

Ok, it goes from headphone to amp, and amp to music player. the amp would require a 1/8 connector(most headphones over 50 bucks come with one). And the amp connects to the mp3 with the basic 1/4 input.


I was reading up on why this usually increases sound quality a lot on mp3's, and it's cause most companies try to cut corners to save battery life.

Bands you aren't familiair with either, just pretending to like them to gain rep. Sad story, brah.

haha

[Fpoonsie]

Huh. From the pic, it seems like the full set-up might be a little clunky, but I AM curious to hear how a particular song might sound w/ and w/o it.

I'm always up for buying frivolous media accessories.

[IronMexican]

That's not a portable model.

[Fpoonsie]

That's not a portable model.

:lol

Oooooh, ok. That makes more sense then.

[IronMexican]

f-AFnRzLOBY

That's a highly regarded, small amp, for about 60 bucks.

And unless you have some good headphones, it serves not much of a purpse.

[Fpoonsie]

I'm assuming by "good headphones", you're referring to something OTHER than any kind of earbud...?

[IronMexican]

I used to think earbud's were shit, but that's not the case.

http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/in-ear

Check that site, and that list. It's a good place to know where to start with all of this stuff(which is pretty much where I'm at. barely getting into it).

Damn. My Bose pair is ranked #54. Looks like I got bent over on THAT deal.

I spent the same amount of money on that pair as it would've cost me to purchase the #2 Head-Direct RE0 pair.

:depressed

[IronMexican]

My Shure pairs are 33rd. But I needed closed headphones.


Bose, Beats, and Skullcandy's(especially) are frowned upon.


Can't speak for the other two, but every skullcandy pair I have, or anyone else I know has owned had broke within 2 months. Whether it be snapping, or a speaker giving out.

[Fpoonsie]

Fucking Bose. Their commercials are so goddamn convincing.

The internal, copper wiring has started to become exposed anyway. Maybe it's time to get some new ones higher on the list. Fuckin pieces a' overpriced shit. The one thing they had going for them is they actually stayed in my ears, which was a notorious problem due to the apparent whorish size of my gaping ear holes...
