My pumpkin I did with the kids...  Happy Halloween!  

So, I have Win10 64-bit and have been using Tidal.  I just purchased JRiver yesterday and have been playing around with configurations.   I have my Audio-gd Master 11 in the list of Windows playback devices.  Am I better off using this as my default playback device OR am I better off using the...

Hi everyone...  so, my daughter sees me sitting with my audio gear and headphones all the time and asked how difficult it would be to record her.  I got a mic interface for the laptop and a vocal mic earlier today and went to town.  Her first cover is below:  ...

I've been exploring different IEMs and ended up with a handful.  In my testing the IE8 ended up the winner of the bunch, but having some other IEMs gave me the opportunity to try some of the other tips on the IE8s since none of the stock tips were ideal and the Complys took away much of the...

I've been running the NuForce HDP for a couple weeks now with my LCD-2's, and enjoyed the sound, but assumed a higher end DAC / amp combo would give me more.  Well, I received the CEntrance DACmini today and after a couple hours of A/B switching between the two amps, the DACmini is going back. ...

I've been doing some reading up on some DAC/amp combos to pair with the LCD-2.  So far, I'm looking at the Nuforce HDP and also the Burson HA-160D.  I really don't want to spend much over $1k, so the Burson would be about as much as I want to spend.   I'm also not hooked on a combo.  If a...

I've searched, but after seeing several different recommendations, and the possibility of new products in the marketplace, I figured I'd make my own thread.. I'm currently running the ASUS Xonar Essence ST with a Presonus HP4 amplifier to my HD650's. While the HP4 sounds good through the...

I just received my Xonar Essence ST, and it sounds great. I currently have it connected via line out to an external headphone amplifier. I'm getting familiarized with the 'Xonar Audio Center', and I realized that when it's set to use line out's, it's assuming your're hooking up speakers to it...

I wanted to see if anyone has this combination - Xonar Essence STX / Little Dot MKIII / HD650's... Right now I have an M-Audio Audiophile 192 card going to a Presonus HP4 to my HD650's, and I'm not too impressed. My iPod going to the JDS CMOY sounds better (much larger soundstage and more...

I had the Beyer DT990 250ohm cans and upgraded to the Sennheiser HD650's. First of all, HUGE difference, and a very welcome one... The situation I have is that my main setup includes my computer with a M-Audio Audiophile 192 card running to the Presonus HP4 via a balanced connection doesn't...

After reading what many people had to say about the various phones on head-fi, and thinking the DT-770 pro 80's were excellent (ignorance is bliss), I decided to see what Beyer's higher end had to offer and gave the DT-990 premium 250's a try. I was initially amazed at the difference, and...
