    NEW! Bose QC25 2014

    Meaning the 2.5mm won't fit into the cup due to thickness of the barrel or is it something else?

    Hifiman RE272: Review

    Quote: Just wondering if you switched to the Comply because the stock bi-flanges didn't give you a good fit or do they sound much better than the stock?   I am currently using the smaller bi-flanges and I find them extremely comfortable and sound amazing (especially the bass) after...

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE272 – the Purist

    Awesome.  I love the analytical sound of the DBAs, but I sold it because I became overwhelmed by the treble in my setup.  So far the RE272 sounds like the perfect replacement.

    [REVIEW] HifiMan RE272 – the Purist

    Great review ClieOS.  I would like to know if you think the synergy will be good with Sflo2 + Stepdance + RE-272 because my last analytical iem (DBA-02) was too sibilant/fatiguing for me in this combo.

    Burn-in. Real or not?

    In my experience, different sets of headphone or iem requires different amounts of burn in.  My D2000 for example sounded different every day until it finally settled down after about 300 hours of use.  I don't think it is from getting used to the their sound signature because it would alternate...

    Which Fiio to go along with PC350 and Creative Titanium X-FI Fatal1ty PCI-e

    For gaming and movies I think something like the DSS or Mixamp with any sound card that could deliver a Dolby signal would be enough.  However, there are better options for sound cards and amp/dacs if you want to improve the sound quality of music.  If you add an E9 to your DSS you will be...

    Which Fiio to go along with PC350 and Creative Titanium X-FI Fatal1ty PCI-e

    For the distortion problem I fixed it for my setup by maxing the volume of my Mixamp + PC350 and lowering the sound in the game itself.  I wasn't able to change the volume inside Windows, which was probably because I was using Dolby.  After setting the game volume to about 25% I was able to hear...

    Which Fiio to go along with PC350 and Creative Titanium X-FI Fatal1ty PCI-e

    Yep, it would sound best using optical and X-fi's Dolby Digital Live with the Mixamp.  However, I have no experience with the Turtle Beach.

    Which Fiio to go along with PC350 and Creative Titanium X-FI Fatal1ty PCI-e

    Yep, it will be enough.  I found the bass lacking straight out of the X-fi, but using the Mixamp everything sounds a lot clearer, bass is plenty, and music sounds great too.  It didn't need any bass mod that I have seen being recommended for the PC350 in other threads.  I regret selling my...

    Which Fiio to go along with PC350 and Creative Titanium X-FI Fatal1ty PCI-e

    For gaming I would suggest picking up a used Astro Mixamp for under $100.  I used an older A40 Mixamp with my PC350 and that thing sounds amazing in BC2 or any other game with their Dolby Headphones turned on and fed from my X-fi Xtremegamer's Dolby Live using spdif.  I sold that set and now use...

    Meier Audio Quickstep (also Stepdance and 2Stepdance) Discussion and Impressions Thread

    I see.  I am just a little bit worried about the wear I'm putting on the power input port for the Stepdance since I have been using it primarily as a desktop amp.  All the plugging and unplugging might be bad since the connection is pretty tight, but I'm not sure if it outweighs having it...

    Meier Audio Quickstep (also Stepdance and 2Stepdance) Discussion and Impressions Thread

    Does anyone know if leaving the Stepdance plugged via 15v ac adapter 24/7 will be bad or consume lots of power even with device essentially turned off (pass the volume knob click).  I did read that it will get slightly warm, but besides the led still being on I don't know what else is consuming...

    S:flo2 impressions thread

    Thanks estreeter, I was hoping you would chime in since I saw that you had both in another thread.  Since I am stuck in front of my computer a lot lately I was just wondering if the MSII would be a huge improvement over Sflo2.  Based on what you said i think I'm going to hold back and save up...

    S:flo2 impressions thread

    Does anyone know if the HRT Music Streamer II (not II+) will sound better than the Sflo2?  I searched through the forum and noticed that some claim dedicated desktop DACs $300+ might sound better, but how about something like the MS2? Is it even worth it?  In case it matters, I will be using the...
