yeah coffee bean @ straits. When are you going back to PG? i'm in SG. If you're up to it, we can meet this evening / night or sunday night when i get back from PG.

its a RM100 more than your budget, but shipping is not included.

i have no idea if it works or not. theoretically, it should work since no power is required from the camera connection kit. do you have the camera connection kit? if you do, we can always give it a go.

nope, no e17.

I'm probably heading back on Friday. And thanks again for the offer, but I'm kinda busy ATM. Have university registrations to complete.

And no, I don't own one. Planning to get one if I get a suitable dac. Btw, do you have an e17 for comparisons?

Guys, i got a question. Do i go DAC? Mainly now.. because im using a grado s60 and dt231. And from what i felt. The grado are much more clearer in the vocals. Mostly mids and high. The bass, is abit weak. But the dt231 are opposite. This is from my laptop. But when i listen on my ipod classic, I felt the dt231 are more utilized compared when i put it on my ipod. The sound is less muffled, and more towards my liking. Same goes with the Grados s60 also, when i plug it in my ipod, it is so much more clearer compared to my laptop..

so the question is, Do i need a DAC? if i get 1, i will mostly get a fiio e10, because im eying on it.. I don't need a portable 1, since i will be using it for my home.

rule of thumb is external dac normally will serve more superior than internal, for low budgets, dac+amp is a good choice, highly recommended

I would suggest getting an amp/dac combo.

What budget do you have in mind. I would always recommend the TTD but depending on your budget and taste, other dac/amps might be more suitable.

what amp and dac combo do u guys recommend me?

since i only have the e10 in mind, my budget was about rm300. Till u guys recommend me a amp. So, im not sure of my budget yet.. Do u guys mind giving me some price of some entry lvl and mid lvl amp? so i can some idea?

For use with SR60 and dt231, I would recommend a darker, warmish amp like the mini 3 or the fiio series of amps. at your budget getting a respectable dac/amp would be a little challenging.

The TTD is at RM700, Dacport is about double. Fiio range I'm not sure about their prices.

i heard it is a good stuff worth for that damage

hmm im thinking of the jdslab's objective amp.. it kinda looks like a good stuff and well built by jds

the transparency level is somewhere below dacport lx as i read

yeah its an improvement over my old dac which is wm8501. Burn in now..lets see after 50hrs

compare to dacport lx and schiit bifrost, which one better?

Hi, newbie audiophile looking for a cheap amp~
Source : Samsung Galaxy W, HP ProBook 4430s, Cheapo Intel Desktop (Mostly using phone to play FLAC/MP3)
Equipment : Feels Pro 900, Audio-Technica ATH-M50s
Requirement : Volume control knob (Don't like + - button)
Budget : RM200 - RM300 (Currently eyeing on JDS Labs cMoyBB v2.03 & Jaben's GoVibe Martini (Demo set RM190))

Any other recommendations?

FiiO E11

Looks nice, very neat design~
Which one is better if compare JDS Labs cMoyBB v2.03 with FiiO E11

E11 is dark sounding a bit compared to cmoybb, and cant use during battery charging

Oh, then I think I'll get the cmoybb, thanks

cmoybb has a simpler way to change opamp if compared to e11

at half of dacport price, what can i say? i have hunch this is among the best dac at RM500 bracket

Better in term of portability or sound quality?

sound quality and reliability. I want to buy schiit bifrost but after some research, there is an issue with the clicking sound coming from the device and the issue of the optical input..so it kinda turned off..one more thing, if something happen to bifrost, i need to send back to US and it'll cost me a lot.

hello, can you guys recommend me a good dac for tv? budget 1.5k..

Perhaps you can try Jaben Malaysia.

They do carry Schiit product but on back to back basis i guess.

Contact them for more information.
