    Balanced cable required for HD 600's and BTR7?

    So I currently have a BTR5 and it's been recommended a bunch that I get a balanced cable to run the 600's better. My question is, if I upgrade to the BTR7 and use it with the regular cable and it gets the headphones loud enough, will the sound still benefit from using a balanced cable? Or is...

    FiiO KA3 doesn't boost volume at all using computer on HD 600's

    Hello, Looking for a little help with this. The HD 600's are just barely loud enough when using my pc on max volume. I read that the KA3 should be easily enough to boost the volume, but it doesn't help at all. If I listen very closely there may be like a minor 5% boost or something. I...

    Worth Getting an AMP / DAC for Philips X2HRs?

    I've read all around that these don't really need an amp, but may benefit from one, so I'm not sure what to do. I play off my phone (Galaxy S9). If I were to get an AMP/DAC budget would be $100 to $150. Thanks for any help!

    HIDIZS Portable Headphone Amplifier Setup Question

    Has anyone ever set this thing up before? After searching around for a while I was finally able to flash the correct firmware. However now I'm supposed to set the quality to max 24bit|192kHz under device properties. I'm under device manager and I've found the device, however I have no idea how...

    Replacement Cable for ATH-SR5's?

    Broke my headphone cable and am looking for a new one. The entrance to the jack is so small that it's hard to find a good replacement cable that will fit. I've found a few like this but don't like the colour...

    Sorry for yet another "which one should I buy" thread, but they range from $50 - $1000 and I have no idea which model I should get.   I'm looking to buy a pair of MM 400's and looking for something that will drive them sufficiently. Would this model do the job?  ...

    Stiff Re-Cables

    I did my first re-cable recently and found the finished product very stiff. When wearing them the cable will stick out like a foot from my body because it's so stiff and won't hang nicely. All I did was shrink tube a Mogami cable and then cover the bottom with paracord.   Stupidly I worked the...

    White Noise in Songs

    There are a few songs which I don't seem to be able to eliminate the white noise from... I'm not sure whether it's a question of my setup or something else.   I've eliminated the problem on a few songs by using FLAC files and I get very clear sound, but this doesn't fix the problem on some...

    How Bad is My Computer's Sound?

    I have no idea about sound cards, audio drivers etc, and was just wondering if my sound would really improve by using a uDAC-2.   My laptop is pretty generic, so I'm assuming the sound stuff that came with it isn't that great.   I have:   Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221  ...

    Music Quality / Source Questions

    Ok, so I'm getting my first pair of decent headphones very soon. They're either going to be the AIAIAI TMA-1's or the Denon AH-D1001's.   My music source for the most part will be my laptop. I'm assuming I can still get good sound out of the headphones just straight through the laptop, or am...

    Uneducated... Please Help Me Decide Which of These Headphones to Buy

    Ok so I recently decided to buy a pair of decently good headphones ($100 - $200). I had no idea about this whole world of audiophiles and the amount of difference between headphones.   Anyway, I've read tons and tons of reviews now, and I'm totally confused as to what pair to get. I listen...
