    Best MAC/OSX mp3 tag thread?

    Tagr is pretty lacking. I want something more like Tag&Rename, but for mac. I don't care about it looking up audio online and auto-tagging. What I want it to do is:   Edit mp3 id3/id2 tags or whatever Batch edit tags (i.e. rename file to Track# - Song Name, or read Track # and song name...

    DAC/amp/preamp metal feet

    I'm looking to put my HDP sideways on my desk and wanted to raise it up a little bit with those metal feet that I see everyone has on their DACs/amps/preamps.   What's a good place to get some cheap ones? I don't need some $100 ones, just something decent.

    Audio GD DAC-19DSP vs DAC-19DF

    WHat is the difference exactly, and is it worth the $150 price tag difference?    I'm wondering the same thing about the FUN as well - Version A is almost twice the price of the basic version.   How much of this is a significant improvement in quality and how much of it is just a minor...

    worth the upgrade from a NuForce HDP?

    currently have a nuforce HDP, but I'm looking to maybe get rid of it and instead get a DACMagic and Audio-GD C-2C.   Is that a step up or down? I've never listened to a dac magic and/or c-2c, so i was hoping someone who has could weigh in their opinion. The HDP is decent, but I can't help...

    Question about portable amps (ibasso D2, pico/dac)

    All these portable amps with batteries but also USB connections, are they able to run off USB power? Or is the USB for DAC functionality only and they still require an ac adapter or batteries?   I'm looking for a portable amp to use with my macbook pro, but i would like one that can run off...

    Should I get an amp in this situation?

    I listen to mostly 320kbps mp3s and FLAC. At home, I have a NuForce HDP driving a pair of Sennheiser HD-600's. However, during the day, I'm on a macbook pro and since I can't use open headphones at work, switch between either ATH-M50's or Shure E2c's. The source audio is still the same; however...

    OSX users: what do you use to manage your mp3s/tags

    Itunes native tag editing sucks, or really anything in itunes. I'm looking for something more like Tag&Rename on PC, where you can batch edit/rename mp3 files and get tag info, etc.   What do you guys use?

    Pioneer HDJ-2000 and Sennheiser HD-25

    I currently have ATH-M50s and want to upgrade to either the HDJ-2000 or Senn HD-25s. I was just wondering if anyone owned either of these and could offer their opinions. Specifically, I'm interested in whether they leak any sound or not. The M50's isolate very well on the ears, but are...

    Headphone Amps with RCA out?

    I'm currently using a Nuforce HDP but also looking to maybe switch to a Cambridge Audio DACMagic or MF V-DAC w/ headphone amp. I'm currently open to recommendations on the headphone amp. I need the RCA out because I also have desktop speakers I would like to use when not using headphones. I...

    Music Hall PH25.2

    I searched but can't seem to find a review on this. Anyone have it? What are your impressions? I am thinking of pairing it up with a nuforce uDAC. Headphones would be Senn HD-555, ATH-M50, and Senn HD-600 Thanks.

    Fubar IV vs Nuforce HDP

    I was getting a Nuforce HDP as I want a DAC/Headphone amp that also has pre-outs for my powered monitors. I discovered the Fubar IV, which has what I need. Has anyone done a quality comparison between that and the HDP or any other amp? The price point is a big difference. The HDP at $445 is a...

    Thoughts on this setup?

    I have an old Pioneer VSX-816 receiver lying around... so I was thinking instead of purchasing a headphone amp, what if I used Computer -> uDAC -(coax)> Receiver then plugged in the headphones into the receiver and my powered monitors into the pre-outs, effectively using the receiver has...

    nuforce HDP vs uDAC

    I only use M-Audio BX5a studio monitors and Senn HD-555/AT ATH-M50 headphones to listen, and I connect it via USB to my computer. I don't really need the extra inputs on the HDP, but I was wondering if the improved headphone amp and DAC alone is worth the buying the HDP over the uDAC.

    Cambridge Audio DACMagic question

    I want to use the XLR balanced outputs for my desktop speakers (M-Audio BX5a), but also want to hook it up to a separate headphone amp. Can I just hook up a headphone amp to the RCA outputs, and will it send out a signal to both? Or am I forced to use a headphone amp with a coax/toslink input...

    Recommend reasonably priced DAC?

    Sorry I know I made another thread (mods feel free to delete) but I think this one would be a bit more clear. I'm basically looking for a good DAC around $300 or less. Right now I have the nuforce uDAC, but it's only 16-bit and also only USB-powered. I usually listen to stuff on M-Audio...

    DAC: nuforce uDAC vs Styleaudio Emerald vs Topaz vs Music Hall 25.2 DAC

    Which one would you get? I do mostly listening off desktop speakers (m-audio BX5as) but also occasionally use headphones (sennheiser 555, audiotechnica m50) right now I have the uDAC and I'm just wondering of the two styleaudio or the music hall sounds better and is worth the upgrade...
