Hi, I am jumping on this topic too because i am stopping for a meter to test my levels. Does it need to be a professional meter or Will a brand less meter about 25 euro 30$ be file too?

thanks for your reply mr rick, Unfortunately mine does not, iPad also. Apps are much unreliable but have a bit of a ballpark now. Calibrating a app is the challenge here. I tried calibrating on my vacuum cleaner 76db and then test my headphones but is still is a wild guess.

Same here. I find it hard to tell, don't know why, but everyone keeps turning the knob way down when I hand them my head phones. If I go up from there eventually it is not comfortable anymore but I am not the one to know where I am, Now going shopping for a db meter, any tips on brand top 3...

In the market for a DAP but I am still on the fence reading so manny different reactions. At first glance this new x1 seems the best entry dap with line out I can use with the A5 My first DAP... For the price it is great but some things I read make me wait, Slow interface is the least of my...

What is best practice when hooking my hd 600 up. (300^ imp.) Use low gain and turn the nob up or use the high gain switch and turn less? Ps. What would be a good / awesome test track for testing settings?
