17 casques pour lecteur MP3 au banc d’essai - Les Numeriques. On les néglige souvent. Pourtant la qualité sonore d'un baladeur audio tient beaucoup plus à ses écouteurs qu'à son électronique. En effet, à quelques exceptions près, la plupart des lecteurs portables embarquent désormais des composants assez similaires qui tendent à lisser les différences entre les différentes marques. En revanche, la qualité des écouteurs livrés varie énormément d'une marque à l'autre et s'avère souvent bien médiocre. Des écouteurs jetables Pour un mélomane, l'achat d'un casque (ou d'écouteurs optionnels) est quasiment obligatoire.
Pour vous aider à mieux percevoir cette différence, nous avons intégré dans notre sélection le casque livré avec les iPod. Ces baladeurs étant les plus vendus au monde, il nous semblait logique d'utiliser ce casque comme modèle de référence et de le mettre face aux concurrents. De toutes les formes, et de toutes les couleurs Même si elle est prépondérante, la qualité musicale ne fait pas tout. Olive Inc. Fortuna Classical Music - Maestro. USB Audio Converter Description.

Infinite Loop: Spend $200 to improve your iPod's audio qual. Wadia Home Page. Portable Audio - Head-Fi (Headphone Hi-Fi and Portable Audio) Apple's iPod. Speaker cables except for the connection between iPod docks to the amplifier. I tried two cables here, the first Monster's iCable ($29.95 for a 7ft length), and the second the much more expensive Crystal Piccolo iPod cable ($399 a meter). Before jumping into the listening tests, a few things about the iPods themselves.
First the packing is simply superb, the instructions are crystal clear and who can resist the Jewish grandmother's admonition on the box, Enjoy! Next the user interface - first rate. iTunes brings an excellent interface to Mac or PC, which is easy to use, remarkably fast at transferring files and never failed me. If you're serious about listening to the iPod through your stereo, you'll have to invest $39 in the appropriate dock. Enough of this. JMC. Omegaloudspeakers. AW - Red Wine Audio iMod.

About.com: Welcome to www.jitter.de. ROWEN. About.com: Mother of Tone - Room Acoustics. Every room has a sound. Soundwaves inside a room are reflected, absorbed and dispersed by the rooms boundaries, furniture, as well as people inside. Different rooms sound different. The sound of a given room is determined by its size, geometry and materials being used, respectively their acoustic behaviour. 1) Size The raw size determines the resonant frequencies (cavity modes) of the room, which means that a couple of (low) frequencies will be louder than all other frequencies.
A subwoofer is a loudspeaker especially designed to excite cavity modes in a room. You cannot change the resonant frequencies of a room, unless you change its size (volume). 2) Geometry The geometry of a room determines the direction of sound reflections. 3) Material The material of which the room is made (walls ceiling, floor) as well as the material of furniture or other objects inside a room play a fundamental role in room acoustics. A) How much of incoming sound is reflected ? B) In what direction ? Comparatif : 12 kits d’enceintes portables pour lecteur MP3 - Le.
Le principe ? Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'entre nous stockent l'intégralité de leur musique sur un lecteur MP3, que ce soit à mémoire flash ou à disque dur. Pour aller au travail ou faire son jogging, pas de souci, le casque est là. Mais une fois à la maison ou en vacances, on aimerait bien pouvoir profiter de sa musique sans avoir de casque, et même, soyons fous, la partager avec ses proches. C'est là que les petits systèmes proposés par Altec Lansing, Apple, Creative Labs ou Gweilo deviennent intéressants.
Sur piles ou sur secteur ? Ils fonctionnent généralement sur piles et aussi sur secteur grâce à un adaptateur externe. Pour ceux équipés de docks iPod, cela permet de ne pas faire passer le son via la sortie mini jack amplifiée de votre lecteur, et donc d'éviter à priori une perte de qualité sonore.

Stereophile: Apple iPod portable music player. It was John Atkinson, that legendary ornithologist, who first pointed it out: "Have you noticed how frequently you see women using the iPod?
" I hadn't. I'd been so darn happy striding about the streets of New York listening to Tom Russell and Carla Bley that I hadn't been paying attention. Gimlet-eyed, I now began examining my fellow pedestrians for the telltale flash of the distinctive white-and-chrome player and the giveaway white headphone cable that announced the iPod's earbuds. What an astoundingly acute observer of the human condition Stereophile's editor proved to be! Holy cow! What did you see when you were there?
The iPod is a product of Apple's industrial design department, headed by Jonathan Ives, which means it is very clean and contemporary. What's surprising is how flexible and intuitive this seemingly rudimentary control array is in operation. That cable dock in the iPod's base will fit either the cable or the docking cradle. Audiolineout. HiFiiPod. The classical music lover's iPod. Sony’s Norio Ohga is a classically trained musician and conductor. In contrast, Steve Jobs is clearly not a classical music lover (and indeed is reportedly partially deaf). If he were a classical aficionado, the iPod would not be as poorly designed for classical music. I have started backing up my extensive CD collection (99% classical) using the new Apple Lossless Encoder, and switched from my original 5GB iPod (which does not support ALE) to a new 15GB model, with half the upgrade paid for with my universal upgrade plan.
I had actually started with straight uncompressed PCM audio, but while the old iPod nominally supported it, its hard drive or buffering algorithm would have a hard time keeping up the 1.5 Mbps flow of data required and often skip. The simplistic Artist/Album/Song schema is completely inadequate for classical music, where you need Composer/Performer/Album/Opus/Movement.
Even then there still are flaws. Wired News: Audiophiles Become Ipodiophiles. Old-time audiophiles must be spinning in their soundproof graves. Thanks to hardware modifications and headphone amplifiers, the humble iPod is earning a place at the heart of the most expensive and exacting sound systems. Veteran audiophiles would scoff. The iPod is relatively inexpensive, costing only a fraction of the $10,000 to $100,000 some will spend on big-rig audio gear. And it is designed to play -- gasp -- compressed audio. Audiophiles demand only the highest fidelity and detail. For some, digital music in any form, especially highly compressed MP3, is contemptuously unacceptable. To purists, only old-fashioned vinyl platters cut it. But remarkably, the iPod is exceptionally well engineered, boasting circuitry to rival much more expensive stereo components. "The iPod's measured behavior is better than many CD players," concluded an exhaustive review and performance test in Stereophile magazine, "Excellent, cost-effective audio engineering from an unexpected source.
" Rockbox. Rockbox is a free and open-source replacement for the OEM firmware in various forms of digital audio players (DAPs) with an original kernel.[1][2] It offers an alternative to the player's operating system, in many cases without removing the original firmware, which provides a plug-in architecture for adding various enhancements and functions. Enhancements include personal digital assistant (PDA) functions, applications, utilities, and games. Rockbox can also retrofit video playback functions on players first released in mid-2000. Rockbox includes a voice-driven user-interface suitable for operation by visually impaired users. Rockbox runs on a wide variety of devices with very different hardware abilities: from early Archos players with 1-bit character cell-based displays, to modern players with high resolution color displays, digital optical audio hardware and advanced recording abilities.
History[edit] Versions of Rockbox have since been produced for more sophisticated devices. A winning system's approach by RedWin. Ipod & portable audio studio. Red Wine Audio Clari-T & Custom Clari- Mac Music : musique, audio et MIDI sur mac. 6moons.com - industry features: Underground. Out of left fieldFirst there was the Sonic Impact T-amp. Then came the Red Wine Audio Clari-T.
Sonic Impact retaliated with the Super T amp. Now Red Wine resets the charts with the Signature 30. Does this have the makings of a teenage super hero slug fest? Spidey nails Wolverine? This isn't peculiar to amplifiers either. This scenario is sometimes called the audio underground. Anyone who doubts this underground phenomenon -- consumer interest, maker responses and the snowballing of enthusiastic dialogue into actual product -- need merely monitor the by now legendary Gravity Well of a Dark Star thread on Audio Circle's Red Wine Audio forum.
It's quite possible that Louis will soon go into formal production on finely veneered, professionally flat-packed OB (open baffle) non-cabinets where a non-DIY owner would merely have to connect the wings to the predrilled baffle and drop the driver into a perfectly recessed and predrilled cut-out.
