Drifter, I have not had a chance to hear the NHT. Love the Audioengines. Eric C

Much better. You won't be disappointed. There are tons of sound presets to suit your tastes, plus 4 presets that you can fully customize. Even without any enabled the sound quality is still better thanks to the Wolfson DAC in the device.

I'm wonder the same, esp. since the Q2 hypes Zoom 96/24 full fidelity PLUS Mid-Side recording (for more realistic, wider and deeper sound). Yet the Q4 is 3 times the price! Sounds to me like at best it's a close call between the 2 machines.

I'm pretty sure it will be a pretty nice jump in SQ as I believe I was using mine w/ an IPod Classic to run Wav file through the HP-P1 DAC.The real advantage to using the HP-P1 is that you're no longer stuck using much lesser DACs built into non Audio company music playing devices & as a result you can use "real" IEMs or headphones w/ these devices to listen to real music files ,not that "MP3" rate garbage that people, who basically can't hear, listen to. If you listen to portable music this is an acceptable solution !

Fostex was the very first company to introduce portable headphone dac and after reading reviews on Head-fi.org i was tempted to buy one. I am glad i didChoose Hp-p1 as it was a best sounding portable amp. Today we have better choices as other brands are introducing better amps. Also all fostex units are japan made with highest quality, i would wait for hp-v1 tube amp comming up later this year.if you want hifi music player + dual dac, you can check Astell&kern; AK120. I just bought one from korea and it is awsome.

Hey John, yes, S2.0 has been a great purchase. It has separate EQs and sends for each drum. I use it with Sonar which has a percussion channel effect that I assign to each drum for the EQ/shaping. The overhead/ambient mixing took time to get used to.

This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ... New model says 20 Watts RMS.They really both sound absolutely great. The ONLY meaningful difference to me is that, the newer model has integrated Bluetooth, the older model does not.You have to decide how badly you want that Bluetooth function and ask yourself if it's worth the $150 extra (give and take) you're going to spend. I've got the old model in July of this year and it really achieve what I need. I listen to music from my tablet, my Ipod and connect it to my laptop to watch movie. I simply connect my audio cable every time. Long story short, they both sound formidable. One has Bluetooth. One doesn't. This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ...

Haven't used the pono, that said ak has a neutral mode (sounds fine), then 2 choices of equalizer, one a 5band manual, and second the one I use mostly is a preprogrammed pro equalizer (their term) which seems to almost always sound the best. pono probably a better value. It's hard to justify a grand for simply a file player, yes nice aesthetics, yes it holds a cr-- load of memory. A&K; could make file searching a bit easier but it looks like they are already on to new model$$$

That depends on what you consider "sound good" is. At 4cu ft it's big & tuned to 39hz. I personally would get a smaller box for a P3 but that just my preference.

Dan, keep looking and you will find the Saffire for less than the PreSonus 24/96. Personally, I was focused on getting the Saffire Pro 40 and was monitoring the price every day here in Amazon. Found an awesome deal, pulled the trigger and never looked back. This is my current interface and my next upgrade is to pair it with an OctoPre from Focusrite. Can't go wrong with Focusrite.

I compared the Fugoo to my mom's UE BOOM last night. The BOOM blows the Fugoo out of the water (louder, crisper sound, deeper bass, not as tinny at high volume) and it's $30 cheaper. I read about the firmware update that "makes it louder". I will try this and report back.EDIT - I upgraded firmware from 1.00.14 to 1.00.53 which enables "loud mode". It made no difference.

The quad 4 is definitely better. It has 4 decks whereas the mixtracm pro 2 only has 2 decks. Go with the quad 4.

The question should be directed to Audioengine. I only know that it performs well with my Nakamichi. Sorry I can't be of technical help.

i have a pair of the lp2 and i have played around with the dna's. the vmoda headphones are far better quality/better built and have better sound. on top of it all you can even customize the metal shields to make it your own, you cant do that with the dna's

since this is a receiver I do not think it matters. The transmitter is the one that needs 4.0. However due to size and features I would think it would be 2.0 at its best. I have used it and did not hear any difference between this unit and my 4.0 headset with Bluetooth coming from pc audio.

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

That is a great price but you have to compare apples to apples. There are different series that have different components like "glass aramid fiber" compared to "kevlar" for the subwoofer cones. Also, the amps are different and (believe it or not) the higher end speakers are HEAVIER so that they do not transfer sound waves through their bases or surrounding materials. I highly recommend that you also consider http://www.amazon.com/IsoAcoustics-ISO-L8R200-Large/dp/B009NWX2WO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1378099542&sr=1-2&keywords=isoacoustics Isopacoustic monitor stands. I had "MoPads" and thought that they were good. It is downright amazing how well all of these components work. If you have the room, buy the 8's. I have the attenuators only up "3 detents" for normal use as nearfield monitors. Only if you have a very large studio and want serious thump, go for the 10's. In any amplifier, you always want to have more power than you need to use. The amps are cleaner, run cooler and last longer. Also, invest in good acoustics for your studio as well otherwise you will never get an accurate representation of your music. You may even want to visit one of my webpages at: http://aperfectdj.com/dj-corner. I am a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, engineer, live sound engineer and DJ. (My studio uses the KRK Rokit 8 G2's) BTW: The G2's mean "generation 2." Hope this helps.
