    My LG K20+ music player natively supports 24/192, does this mean the dac supports it?

    My phone sounds pretty good in comparison to my FiiO E17 and drives my headphones quite well for my needs, so I have no use for an external DAC. The built in music player plays back 24/192 just fine, and I know many inexpensive DACs support hi res audio (even cheap built in realtek laptops), is...

    Akg k240s need an amp?

    From a purely objective standpoint do the k240s need an amp with a low output impedance in order to achieve the designed frequency response? They can get plenty loud on my laptop but I don't know if their varying impedance vs frequency is enough to cause a significant variation in their...

    Vorbis over AAC - is it worth making the change ?

    Both. Opus is better than vorbis but down below 96kbps it started pooping out. It's also not helped by the fact it only does 48khz, which is a waste data considering most music is mastered to 44.1khz. Opus and vorbis both sound bad below 96, while aac he is easier to listen to at even 64kbps...

    Vorbis over AAC - is it worth making the change ?

    Ime aac is better at low bitrates. I can't even hear the difference between flac and 128 aac. Ogg Is good down to 96kbps, but he-aac still sounds incredibly convincing at 64kbps.

    Would failing half of the foobar abx tests count as undectable?

    Was trying to see if I could tell the difference between 80kbps he-aac and flac.

    Blown away by Logitech G430

    <not my image>   These are "7.1" headphones. Now obviously they don't have 8 drivers in them, but what they do have is a USB audio interface that takes 7.1 channels from the computer and runs it through dolby headphone. The specific dolby headphone profile is perfectly tuned to these...

    "neutral" headphones for around $100-$150?

    Is there any similarity between k612s and k701s? The k701s sounded very accurate when I used to have them.

    "neutral" headphones for around $100-$150?

    I'm looking for a pair of fairly neutral sounding headphones in this price range with decent bass extension and highs but with no frequency range strongly emphasized. Any recommendations?

    The absolute proof Beats Audio is a giant scam.

    A Fiio E17 is much smaller than a TV lol. I don't generally use DSP's unless it's to upmix stereo to surround or surround emulators on 2 channel HT systems, I'm a purist who likes flat audio that hasn't been mucked with.

    The absolute proof Beats Audio is a giant scam.

    Unfortunately the AMD audio card only works for HDMI out. I will say though, the beats audio does solve a lot of laptop speakers problems, I just wish it was disableable for headphones. Even my $20 sony's sound good without any dsp crap. It sounds like a compressor and some sort of srs style...

    The absolute proof Beats Audio is a giant scam.

    I recently purchased a new laptop. HP Beats Envy. Now I didn't purchase it because of the beats audio, I purchased it because it was $599, had a touch screen, lighted keyboard, 8gb of ram, quad core AMD A8 cpu, and a Radeon GFX card good enough for light duty gaming. Basically it had everything...

    Koss UR55...Pleasantly Surprised...

    So the filters in my ety's (the only headphone i really use) got clogged and i had no more left, so until i could get replacements, i had to pick up a pair of cheapo's so i had something to listen to music with. Found a set of Koss UR55's on clearance at K-mart, and i know from previous...

    Will the fiio e17 drive the AKG k702 satisfactorily?

    Can un-natural subsonic bass damage my headphones?

    I was listening to karsh kales one step beyond earlier today on my AD900's and past a certain volume i could clearly hear distortion. Could this actually damage the drivers?

    Pandora's music quality?

    Quote: it sounds pretty bad to me. yes, it is 64kbps AAC+ premium is 192k mp3, which sounds pretty transparent to my ears. as far as i know only your computer can get 192k with premium, phones still receive a lower bitrate unfortunately.   MOG is 320k and i have been very happy with...
