opo and sa pagkakaalam ko maganda naman ang output ng ipod nano? someone, please answer plzzzz

Well to be honest, yung memory cap lang nang present nano gen yung nakikita kong drawback against the M3.  Feature wise mas siksik ang nano,video playback (though I can't watch x-art at 1080p on a small screen sayang yung balahibo factor nang x-art),Photo slideshow,FM Tuner,Bluetooth Connectivity,etc. Bitin lang talaga sa mem cap especially if you'll be hoarding lossless music files,I can carry a ton of sd cards to swap in for but I won't buy 6 nanos for different playlist(little OC on my side). Kung hindi lang mukahang gas detector yung sandisk i'd get it,but it looks like one so it sucks. hahaha

Sound quality medyo bingi lang siguro ako that I can't really feel or hear any difference with the variance especially if using ALAC vs FLAC benchmarks, they do sound the same on my IEMs,for cans I can't really give any thoughts 'cause I don't have any but I believe they can drive some low-imp cans with ease.

well kung convinced na kayo sa ipod, theres no need for you to buy this type of player. ipod touch owner ako for 3 years. satisfied din ako sa kanya. kung mga rock, pop and hip hop tunes ang pinapakinggan mo at ang focus mo ay marinig yung songs sa kabuuan nya, you will go for the mainstream players.

ako, i wanted more. i want clear separation of instruments. i want clarity. thats where a DAC like this M3 comes in. you wouldnt get that same deep bass that you usually get when you use a Philips or Sony mp3 player pero you will hear honest, close to studio sounding bass lalo na kung maganda ang plugs or headphones mo.

salamat paps marzi and paps nikko sa honest review

Talaga? Mas ok ang soundstage? Malaki ba difference playing a 320kbps mp3 on ipod and M3? [gooey brown stuff] nakakacurious naman to.

puro 128kbps lang mp3 ko noon sa ipod touch kasi makalansing na masyado sa pandinig ko yung 320kbps.

i suggest trying the demo unit at Egghead. may mga 10 songs lang yung andun mostly RnB, Pop at 3 Paramore songs but that should be enough for you to know kung magugustuhan mo nga sya.

so far ok naman sakin tong M3. kanina umaga pa ako nagpapatugtog. mas naappreciate ko ngayon yung mga classic tracks(Queen, Earth, Wind and Fire, Barry White, etc.) dahil hindi sya flat sa pandinig ko. i have yet to learn geeky audiophile terms to better describe what im hearing from this unit.

[j.nikko3123]

Boss Marzi! napansin mo kung may iBasso DX80 sa egghead?

[marzi]

Meron iBasso pre pero di ko sure kug DX80 yun.Hi-Fi Man meron din pero ayoko mag test ng masyadong 'sophisticated' DAPs nila.masosobrahan ako sa audio GAS hehe

Uy salamat sa info.  Ma-testing nga sa egghead, galing pa naman ako dun last week bumili ng superlux Hd661, di ko alam pwede pala magtest ng mp3 players lol.

[hunk0429]

sana din may nagpapa demo ng mga bagong Sony hi-res walkmans. magaganda reviews medyo mahal nga lang. pero i doubt na makaka-disappoint ang Sony. after all, its a Sony.

I have tried this one. Wearing it too long masakit na sa tenga yung bass ganun sya ka boomy. But for a cheap earphone very nice sya.

[marzi]

update ko lang with the M3. may mga issues ako sa kanya.

-the buttons feel cheap. this is expected. pero yung power button nya which is the same button you will use to turn on the screen is hard to reach. holding it with one hand, you will have to feel the left side of the unit to know where the power button is placed. and pressing it is not easy either. yung akala mong pinindot mo na pero hindi pa pala. this results to pressing harder on the button and repeatedly doing so may result to a non responsive power button in the near future. same with the navigation/volume controls. they feel so cheap whenever you press on them. im giving this a 2-year lifespan and i will end up with a broken forward or up/down volume control.

-the interface. nevermind the cdrking-ish cheap interface. sound lang habol ko e. pero may gripes ako sa way ng pag display nya ng files. non-moving yung track title so if youre playing an album with all the tracks bearing the same name(ex. Symphony No.1, Symphony No.2 and so on), hindi mo malalaman kung anong kanta na yung pinapatugtog mo dahil hindi mo na makikita yung last parts ng song title. same with the way it arranges your songs in the list. naka sabog sila. you will have to rename your files using your pc so you could see them in proper order.

sa sound naman walang problema. paired with my ES18, i love how my music is being delivered to my ears. clarity and instrument separation as what ive stated before is really nice.

next purchase would definitely be an amp. maybe a Kilimanjaro if i could find one. then upgrade to a headphone.

Need recommendations. I'm looking for a pair of earphones with amazing sound quality. Currently looking at:

Mi Piston 2
Sound Magic in-ear models

[crazyvoice]

Guys share ko lang newly purchase in ear phone ko Zero Audio Tenore. Love the soundstage and airy feeling of this Japanese In-ear for 2.3k. I'd tried IM70 (ito dapat target ko na bilen) kaso i feel more comfortable wearing the Zero Audio compare sa Audio Technica IM70. Research about it and try it.

paps, can't go wrong with the MI Piston V2. bang for the back. the carrying case/cablewrapper just feels premium. sounds top notch as well.

Sound Magic ES18/PL11

Mas gusto ko looks ng Es18 mas mura siya sa PL11 kaso yung ES18 ko natuklap sa ibat ibang parts yung wire, ewan kung bakit. Ngayon gamit ko PL11 mag 2 years na sakin, buhay pa.

FIVE REASONS APPLE IS DITCHING THE HEADPHONE JACK FOR THE IPHONE 7

First they did away with the floppy disk, then the USB port, now Apple is planning to consign the headphone jack to the history books too.

Rumors that Apple’s next flagship smartphone—presumably called the iPhone 7—will not feature the standard 3.5mm headphone jack have been circulating for months, and while Apple’s policy is to not comment on products before their launch, a recent report seems to have provided definitive proof that headphones will connect to the handset through the lightning port.
