Trinity Vyrus replacement
Hi all, I've had the Trinity Vyrus for about a year now and after an unfortunate incident they are rather spectacularly dead. They are by far the best headphones I've owned in terms of matching the sound signature I like and ideally I'd just buy another pair but alas this does not seem to be an...- Davesbeard

VSonic GR06 - Available in the UK?
Ah, so they are. Many thanks. Any reason why they've stopped selling them here? Gonna struggle without headphones for a few weeks.. Are there any other headphones of that standard for similar money? They seemed to be the stand-out IEM from all the reviews I read.- Davesbeard

VSonic GR06 - Available in the UK?
Hi guys, So my trusty every-day Soundmagic E10's have just died and I'm in need of a replacement. I've been seeing glowing reviews of the Vsonic GR06s and am pretty set on purchasing these as a replacement. Problem being that I can't find them for sale anywhere in the UK. Frogbeats...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
If they're both plugged in won't the headphones always be on? Is this an issue?- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
Well i ordered the DAC yesterday, guess we'll see how game sound works with it. I'm not sure whether my onboard audio supports it at the moment or not. Another thing, how do you guys get around having your headphones and speakers plugged in at the same time? Do you have it setup so that your...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
Hey guys, thanks for all the help. Think i'm gonna go for that Hotaudio DAC/headphone amp. I'm gonna be moving around a lot the next few years so a standalone home cinema system would probably be better. Just to bump and ask this again. Can that DAC handle gaming? Doesn't need to be...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
That Bit-Perfect DAC/HP Amp looks great. The home cinema system can be standalone with some video and audio out from my graphics card/onboard sound. It'll likely only be streamed video from my pc anyways. Can that DAC handle gaming? Doesn't need to be amazing or anything but as long as it...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
Fantastic thanks Ipumuk! The middle option seems like the best solution for me right now, what Soundcard + headphone amp would you recommend? EDIT: Though thinking about it maybe a DAC + Headphone amp might be a better solution. I kinda assumed i wanted the home cinema option but maybe i...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
Just to clarify. I want to use my PC as the heart of my sound system. For now i will just use headphones and PC speakers so i want a noticeable sound improvement for these two immediately. I want the option in the future to run good quality passive speakers and a home cinema system...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
It was from a CD player, which i'm sure had some bearing but i've never heard anything even close from these headphones connected to the pc. Even playing extremely high quality digital files. Would the Asus Xonar Essence ST with the H6 DAC board as shown here provide what i want? I doubt...- Davesbeard

Starting the pc sound system journey
Hey guys, just joined this place on the recommendation of a friend. Bought this pc about 3 years ago (reasonably high spec self build) and purchased some Aego M speakers along with some Sennheiser HD555's to go with it. I've just been running it off the onboard audio as it never really occured...- Davesbeard
