    New sound card or DAC?

    I need some assistance in which direction I should take.  Lately I've been having some annoying issues with my current soundcard, Auzentech X-fi Forte. Sometimes windows randomly says that it cannot detect it.  I've found that a way around this issue is to go into the audio control panel and...

    Good workout headphones for under $20

    The title says most of it.  I don't really care what type of headphones they are, just as long as they can be driven from an ipod.  I'm looking for a pair with reasonable comfort and one that will not slip during the middle of a set and sprints.  I'd also prefer one that emphasizes bass.  I did...

    Bass distortion from O2

    My O2 amp is connected to my Auzentech X-Fi Forte sound card.  Usually I don't like heavily eq'ing my more expensive headphones, but lately I've been experimenting with it, primarily with the bass boost that's available in the console.  I noticed that when I connect my headphone straight into my...

    Bass through external amp

    My O2 amp is connected to my Auzentech X-Fi Forte sound card.  Usually I don't like heavily eq'ing my more expensive headphones, but lately I've been experimenting with it, primarily with the bass boost that's available in the console.  I noticed that when I connect my headphone straight into my...

    Bass+gaming headphone

    I'm looking for a new pair of budget headphones for general purpose use, but mainly with emphasis on bass and gaming.  My current everyday pair are the Samson SR850 (EQ'd) and for me, these do the job well.  I'm looking for something to spice it up a bit.  I've tried the Sony XB500 and the...

    Bypass soundcard's built-in amp

    This is my first dip into buying any kind of external amplifier, and I just have a few questions.  I have an Auzentech X-Fi Forte and I've been wanting to try something new.  Here we go:   1) I was wondering how to connect it to a external amplifier, while bypassing the built-in Forte amp...

    Sound card DAC/AMP upgrade

    Hi, I'm currently running my DT 880 straight out of my X-Fi Forte.  The forte has two DACs: a Cirrus Logic CS4382A and AKM AK4396, though I'm not sure which the headphone jack uses, but I'm guessing the AKM AK4396.  According to review sites, the AKM AK4396 is supposedly of high quality.  The...

    Budget all-rounder

    Hi, I'm a new comer to the world of high-end headphones and audio.  Perhaps the most expensive and "best" pair of headphones I had were the Sony MDR-V150, but they've been broken for quite some time now.  So, I'm in the market for some new cans, preferably open or semi-open.  My price range is...
