Hi,   Thank you for taking the time to read this.   I recently hooked up a pair of Dynaudio BM6As to the RME ADI-2 Dac. The dac didn't have a volume controller and was sending extremely loud signals to my speakers (to the point where it was distorting badly) so I immediately hit Pause...

Hi guys,    I've got a few questions regarding the DA11 and would appreciate any advice/opinions!   I recently bought the DA11 (and still thinking if I should keep it or not) My only comparison is the RME ADI-2 and between the two, I feel the DA11 produces clearer sound. That said...

Heya Topaze,   Was just wondering if you went with the Ref 7? Or if you ended up auditioning the all three dacs?   A friend of mine is selling his RME ADI-2 for only $350 though it has dents and scratches on it. I'm still trying to decide if it is a good buy for my Adam A7x and Grado...

So i've been reading up and searching the web for a few days now and I must admit, things do look kinda confusing. I'd really appreciate it if you would share your thoughts/opinions/suggestions.   I'm looking at DACs below 1000, and have narrowed them down to these:     Audio GD's...

Hi,   Sorry for the newbie question. But with dacs like this that has multiple outputs, does it mean I can use all of them simultaneously? Can I hook the red 5.2 to my active speakers via xlr and use the rca out to my headphone amp?   I'm really interested in the red 5.2 vs dacmagic...

Hi all,   Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this. I own the m-audio bx8 d2 studio monitors (active speakers) and the grado ps500 headphone. My interface is the asus xonar essence st (pci).   That said, i'm interested in getting a dac and an amp that allows me to connect...

Heya Coolzo,   So I just recently bought the Scarlet 2i2 and it is a lot cheaper than the asus xonar st. I'm really new to all of this and am having a hard time deciding if I should return the xonar st or the scarlet 2i2? I got the scarlet because the guys at guitar center recommended it...

Heya guys, sorry for reviving this again, but I got a few questions if you don't mind :/   I recently went to guitar center and purchased a pair of m-audio bx8 d2 studio monitors. They recommended the scarlett 2i2 to go with it since I needed to hook up a mic with it.   What I'm...

Thanks for the recommendations! Am going to go do some research and save up some money haha   One thing that has been bothering me as of late though is that I notice when I play music, I hear white noise gradually getting louder before it disappears (as the music is playing). Then when I...

Heya Guys,   Thank you so much for your answers! I still don't have my grado.. aircraft problem, shipment got delayed till monday :(  I am however curious though, what amps would you guys suggest? Say something around $200, and something around $500?   Thanks!! Joel

Hi,   I'm looking at getting the Grado PS500 to pair with my Asus Xonar Essence ST card. I own the Senn PC360, Westone 4 and Bose Quiet Comfort and Bowers & Wilkins P5 so as you can see, I'm really new to high end headphones. Despite doing research online, it is hard to actually understand...
