I bought a set of Meze 11 Neo earbuds and was really happy with the sound until I realized how horrid the microphonics are.. Like, can't shift your body an inch in any direction without intrusive microphonics.   Any recommendations for earbuds that are mostly flat with a little forwardness in...

I've had this Musiland Monitor01 USB for over a year now and its an absolute pleasure to listen to and use.    Now that thats out of the way hopefully someone can help me out here... I used to have an almost identical problem with a USB M-Audio Transit.    So I decided to use my Asus...

Can I replace the stock earpads with anything more HD600/650 like?

I know nobody will appreciate this observation because most of you guys take hi-fi too seriously to enjoy a good skull thumping, but the EX-71 IMO is the closest you can come, and in some cases better than full sized cans if you want to bump your head with bass for techno/rap. Just figured this...

I have a few hundred mp3's that I want to put on my PSP, the PSP has a really weak amp and I want to boost all of the volumes of the songs by a few db. Audacity can automatically boost the song to the point right before any clipping would occur but I havent figured out how to do it as a batch...

I just returned my UE Super.Fi 5 Pro's because IMO they lacked bass (yea i know ive already been beat up by people saying that isnt so). The only thing I can come up with is maybe I didnt like the lack of punch because they used armatures. So im tossing around the Denons vs Klipschs. I think the...

I got them as a gift around christmas time and ive tried really hard to like them but as noobish as this sounds, I think I enjoyed my EX81's better than these. Sure theres more high end clarity, but the thing thats really cooking my goose is that they have NO bass. I mean none. I can put on my...

I have a bunch of .mp4 and .avi files that have imbedded AC3 or DTS sound and I use either PowerDVD to play them or usually Windows media player classic with x264 and Community Codec Pack installed. I have tried seemingly every combination of settings in AC3 Filter and Community Codec Pack but...

I have finally Transit USB working again. I enabled 0 in 2 out 24/96 in the Transit USB control panel and installed the ASIO foobar plugin and set the resampler to 96khz and the output to 24 bit. When I start playing a song, my receiver that is getting the optical output from the Transit...

I already own an M-Audio Transit and it works fine on its analog outputs but I cant get the damn thing to work with my laptop outputting any digital audio. The Optical output cracks and breaks up and just wont work. Is there a USB based soundcard that uses the Envy24 chipset so that I could use...

I'm aware this has been hashed and rehashed a thousand times on here but I recently am trying to set this back up and it seems that Foobar only distributes one version of Foobar now. I remember there being more settings to change. I downloaded teh 0.94 or whatever release, Changed the output...

I have already owned the HD600's once, but im going to buy a pair of one of these two phones again in the near future... I have been out of the game for about a year so if any new GREAT value phones @ or under $200 have surfaced please reccomend those too. My setup will most likely be a laptop...

I got my girlfriend a 20gb ZenTouch for x-mas and she has a very definitive asthetic taste in certain areas. There is something thats driving her nuts about the ZenTouch... If you dont enter an Album name into the ZenTouch software, when you play the song it will just read <Unknown> under the...

I finally got my Sony EX-81 canal phones in the mail. I didnt really know what to think when I ordered them, I made a post asking for advice, the only thing I really knew going into the purchase was that I hated my E2C's and if they were like the E2C's that they would be up for sale shortly...

I just happened upon an I-Pod mini as a birthday gift and im really really excited except for the god awful fit of the stock earphones... I need something to replace them ASAP and I want to order something right now but i need some advice. Ive already owned a pair of E2Cs and I hated them...

I appreciate a good headphone as much as the next guy, but it appears that the AKG K501 is totally flavor of the month right now... Everyone has been extremely quick to jump on the K501 > All bandwagon especially when it concerns their domination of all things Sennheiser. Is this valid? or...

Does this plugin exist? if so anybody know where i can dload it?

I know this has nothing to do with anything... but if you have the Channel separation / balance plugin for Foobar2k (i think its called dsp_wider) or something like that... anyway, i was playin around with it and had a particularly bass heavy track @ pretty high volume rockin, well i hit the...

Could anybody offer up a quick concise guide on how to get ASIO to work with Foobar2000 and an M-Audio Transit? I downloaded the DLL output plugin but for some reason its giving me an error when i try to start up a song. EDIT: I got ASIO working @ 16bit fixed with 44.1khz sample rate but...

Up until right now ive been using the latest version of CDEX, I just use remote cddb to get the track information sorted, then i went into settings and chose Monkeys Audio with APE tags as the choice of compressed audio, from there I can just highlight the whole CD and have it rip the music and...

I was browsing this website that i found a link to in another thread and I found these three different hook systems... very classy and austere looking imo... The rack in the first picture is $16.50 and the middle and bottom are both $33. They can all be found here...

Ive just come to the realization that my HD600's that i have in the mail will be all but wasted if i cant find someplace quiet to listen to them since they are open back. My only solution really is to find a soundcard for my laptop that will provide 24/96 playback, preferably digital out, and...

Ive only ever listened to music on my phones via Receivers, straight from sound card, through my Yamaha DP-U50, and directly from sources like CD players and portables. Just hooked up this Perreaux and it really is a very noticeable and pleasant sound upgrade. Im using it with my HD-280's...

The 24/96 DAC in my Yamaha - DP-U50, or the Wolfson 24/96 DAC that is on my AV-710. I must admit that i have a pre-disposition to thinking that the outboard DAC will somehow perform better than the Wolfson DAC that is on my soundcard but im open to suggestion. The output of one of the two...

Im using foobar2k to output Bitperfect 24/96 dig audio to an outboard processor, the problem is that ive always heard a little better out of my right ear, so i constantly have an image thats off center, i need to raise the volume in the left channel slightly, but I want to do it in the digital...
