all this portable hi-fi player cost you a kidney to buy

when going around....just use phone

when at home 1 receiver do all the job

i don't really like bringing along a brick with me, of which i find many high end DAP makers miss in their design decisions.
it costs too much and i wouldn't appreciate the sound anyway since i'm busy walking around.
and since these things are so big, i can't put them in my jeans. if i need to put them in my bag, then i can't change tracks, volume, etc.
so i just rely on my iTouch or M8

I just use simple MP3 player for jogs

I dun fancy bringing handphone I normally jog at night.
Afraid of rempits

I used to have one of Sony's walkman USB music players(2GB) back in mid 2000s. Back then, cheap phones dont yet have gigabytes worth of storage.

Nowadays I only depend on my phone.

Fiio X1 price ok ma

Astell & Kern (iRiver) AK Junior or Sony NW A25

I remember someone tell me this before hmm...

Oh yes afew Megabytes only, I spent RM200 to buy 1GB micro SD card back that time to store more mp3 for my phone.

year 2015, ppl still buy mp3 player bcoz they want a small and tiny mp3 player for jogging or workout
other than that, the rest are just audiophiles
ppl who dont buy mp3 player at all are those who think their phone served them with a decent mp3 player

Yes, ever since I rediscovered my passion for music.

Now I'm working mostly at desk job and listening to music. If i'm doing that for long periods a day, why don't I make the best of it? I'm using Sony F886 and XBA-A1 earphone. Beginner audiophile only, but who knows in the future when I have more money..

Also, I've now started buying more 2nd hand CDs and rip to flac for future safekeeping, in case iI upgrade my gear in the future..
I only download songs if it's just one song from an album or almost impossible to get the CD.

since when audiophiles uses MP3 ? facepalm

speaker person also don't use mp3/Hifi music player as dislike to use headphone discomfort fitting and heat issue.
Nowadays headphone market are growing rapidly there are:
velour earpads, lambskin earpads and Shure alcantara earpads

Comply™ Foam Tips


iPod classic has a good lifespan

Yes Hifi and music restore my colorful life from a boring life.

everyone know mp3 but the other format no name infamous due to lack of marketing and exposition, but nowadays are game changing as Hi-Res Audio/ Hifi are high demand also headphones and mp3/Hifi music player

http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2015/11/...jiya-avic-2015/

which the cheapest mp3 that support dsd native are available in here?

a series user here.

well, i wish i can enjoy the music to the fullest with all these high-tech audiophile gadgets,
unfortunately i am too worried about permanent hearing loss in the future, exposing your ears to a loud music or high decibels noise may caused your hearing to aging faster.

iPod Classic user, mp3, ALAC, AAC, WAV, FLAC, DSD, APE all also have inside my laptop, you mad?

Fiio X3 II 2nd Gen (box just write X3 only)
http://www.lelong.com.my/fiio-x3k-x3-2nd-g...6-01-Sale-P.htm

oh Sony it is?

Clear but not loud, Hifi audio player + good earphone not need loud, mp3/smartphone need very loud also lack of music detail

haha
