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...- yepimonfire

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...- yepimonfire

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...- yepimonfire

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.- yepimonfire

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...- yepimonfire

"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.- yepimonfire

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

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.- yepimonfire

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...- yepimonfire

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...- yepimonfire

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?- yepimonfire
