i couldn't tell the difference between the cable and the long one that came with.. still sounds as great as normal..
on the other note, i rode my motorbike with my rig today... i left the rig in the basket on my bike.. when i rode to uni, i could hear noise thats in sync with my bike's vibrations... the noise is digital jitters, somehow in sync with my bike! when i rev high, the noise goes up as well..
but when i stop and turn off the engine, no noise... hhmm... do you think this is from CLAS? or?

Actually when I had the Hifiman HM-601, I could hear some sort of electrical noises or jitter when a scooter near me was starting up. Possibly noises from the ignition system or whatever that the CLAS and my Hifiman picked up.
Sometimes happen when I turn on the fluorescent light in my room.

i don't think its microphonics.. but yeah i think i agree with tunertoobe.. must be the ignition or smth... but weird cause either broadcasts or receives any thing.. any links to this phenomenon? kinda interested in it lol..
the basket doesn't vibrate that much, unless the screws are lose... i'm thinking of slapping it on the speedometer instead lols..
now i have to put the giant thing in my back or pocket argh..

Hi guys. i am now srsly considering this little thing... but would like some inputs from those who have it or tested it... let's say using itunes own music files... is there a listenable difference with this CLAS and from the LOD? I need to help myself justify this piece of bling! Help please? Tq!!!!

yeap...some ignition engine, fluorescent light etc etc might emit electrical noise..aka radio frequency interference (RFI)/ Electromagnetic interference (EMI). its quite troublesome to reduce/attenuate...the simple way is by using ferrite beads...

Tq!!!!  cleaner, more refine sound and those 128kbps mp3s can sound pretty good because of the reclocking thingie plus pairing with a good amp will sound oh -so-good-you-have-to-listen-it-to-yourself-to-judge-it kindda feeling.... some say this is better than the imod minus the bulkyness of it lah...

its a step up from my iMod, with black gate caps that is... the instrument separation better, more refined, sharp and crystal clear and musical power.. sound stage wise, its very hard for me to judge imma soundstage noob, but definitely more 3D'ness.. imaging way better.. a worthy upgradeee... my only regret? erm, battery life gua, with CLAS, both the CLAS device and ipod will last around 10-12hrs, whichever dies first lol... its a minus point, considering ipod can last 40hours! (never tested this).. never tried this against DACport or Larvy.. but a few respectable forumers here said its better than DA11 in a way that it makes low kbps mp3 sound bearable.. I listen to 128kbps streaming radio, love the sound.. other than that, go ahead man you won't regret...

lol thats the problem with our rigs.. one fails, ALL FAILS..  unless we're willing to settle with normal HP out... but i doubt so  yup.. i stand behind my words, it is a step up from iMod... When i got my imod, i thought its the endgame for my portable rig.. Till CLAS came around  yup imod is clean and good instrument separation... CLAS like i said, is an upgrade to that... you should find your way to audition one and hear it yourself.. trust your ears not ours! but you can always have a pre-mindset before hand... i hope we don't oversell it!
