    Can I use full-size & portable amps together?

    I am thinking of getting this cheap DAC/ headphone amp combo but I want to know if I can also use my Fiio E6 with it as well for basic eq settings?   http://www.cypeurope.com/Audience/AU-D3-H-Digital-Audio-Converter-with-Stereo-Headphone-Output-DAC.html   Can I do this or is it a bad idea?

    150mW vs 200mW - will I notice much difference?

    Thanks for the replies Mike & Wilky.   I will probably be using my Senn PX100's or JVC flats for watching movies/concerts via my TV's S/PDIF (which I am assuming is the same as optical)   I guess it is a straight choice between using a combined CYP DAC/amp which makes thing simple and...

    150mW vs 200mW - will I notice much difference?

    Ok I taking my first tentative steps into the world of headphone amps and DAC's and I am on an extremely tight budget. What I am looking to do is to use a DAC with my TV for watching films and concerts etc... and then use a portable amp to boost the signal.   However I am undecided whether...

    Fiberloft / polyester wool (sound dampening mods) - bring out the highs, mids, or lows? Confused!

    I've been reading up on this recently after modding my Creative Aurvana Lives and I can only find conflicting information.   Some people say using it will dampen the high frequencies making a smoother & softer sound, while others say it will bring out the mids and highs?   I am a...

    XL Comply tips - or something similar?

    Recently bought a S/M/L pack of T400 Comply tips to test them out and find which size fits me best. However as much as they improved isolation I still found that even the largest size didn't make a complete seal in my canal (I blame my larger than average ears - they didn't call me spock in...

    Will these Sennheiser pads fit the Creative Aurvana Live?

    Creative Aurvana Live! Review and Mods

    I am also thinking of modding my CAL!s using this method.   Will it make the bass a bit more forward and punchier?

    Sennheiser PX100 detachable cable? UK

    Really want to get this done but I don't have the skills/ don't trust myself to do it without messing it up.   Is there anywhere in the UK that I could get this done?   Thanks for any help with this.

    Something between PX100's and Creative Aurvana Live!?

    Does anything like this exist?   I currently own both and love the bass heavy guilty pleasure that is the PX100's but I also appreciate the larger, more detailed & refined sound of the CAL's. I've seen the following mentioned as possible alternatives in my extensive research.....  ...

    Anyone know where I can buy spare/replacement memory foam ear pads?

    The earpads on my JVC's are fine but I just find them a little uncomfortable and fiddly to sit right on your ear. What I was looking to do was get some better earpads to put on the JVC's and whenever they eventually break, I can buy another pair of JVC's and swap the earpads onto this new one. I...

    Anyone know where I can buy spare/replacement memory foam ear pads?
