New experiences with dap's: Sansa Clip+ Shure SRH 840

Stick it in a sealed container with rice in the sun. The rice will absorb the moisture. Might be too far gone though.

Will definately give this a try- thank you Mahleu.

Wonder if the clip zip will sound as nice? the Fuze Zip is according to some on the internet not as nice as the Fuze...

P.S. At look&listen they are 499 and if you are on Vitality you get a discount

I'm thinking of doing a little set of active speakers containing maybe a gainclone power amp. Will a Clip be able to do the front end for that?

[chipwelder]

Yup, used it to test this new chip-amp that is not sorted out, somewhere something is wrong... just buy the pcb's from Rudi... At first I thought it was playing too soft, as they are won't to do into line-level, but it is actually fine, very low output impedance probably the cause.

The gain should be high-ish afaik to get it to sound nice, You could prolly use the clip+ volume control, but I just do a volume control in front of the inputs on the lm3886 and bob's your uncle...

[Atjan]

So the Clip doesn't have its own vol control?

[chipwelder]

The "Clip+" does have it's own volume control...    the "Clip" is the older one not for sale anymore...

OT: The Clip+ happily takes a 16GB card, in case anyone was wondering. I've just upgraded mine from the 8GB card I was using before.

[chipwelder]

Yup, that is the max however, luckily the store didn't have a 32gb... and I said, what the heck a 16gb should be fine...

Will definately give this a try- thank you Mahleu.

Here's the story:

Fillled a salt grinder with rice, jammed the i-shuffle in - and sealed top with duct tape.

Placed the salt grinder in direct sunlight for maximal effect. (moving locations rather frequently)

4 days later - decided that the Shuffle had now been through enough agony...

... and it plays perfectly! 


Thanks for the advice Mahleu - hugely appreciated!

Great, it probably tastes better too.

@Chipwelder
If your source already has a vol control, why would you add another one to the power amp?

[chipwelder]

The amp is for a different purpose, just used the clip to test etc... and the clip+ possibly has a digital volume control, not sure, which means at low volumes SQ suffers, not sure it is an issue...
