I had decided on purchasing the DN-1000s but being a college student I cannot really justify spending that much on IEMs right now. Are there any good alternatives for sub $100? I listen to primarily electronic music, but also listen to pretty much every other genre as well. I will listen...

I'm looking for an iem I can wear around campus and on road trips.I listen to primarily electronic music and prefer a v shaped sound signature similar to that of my V-MODA M-100. I will drive them with either my jds labs c5 or straight out of my HTC one M8. thank you for any and all help!

dr.loudness-war.info/index.php?search_artist=Fun.&search_album= I've been looking at that website for the past half hour looking up albums I love on CD, and I thought sounded great ripped lossless at 16/44.1. Everything I've looked up even if it has high Dynamic Range on CD the Vinyl's is...

I'm at bit of an impass in my Head-Fi journey, I can't decide where to further invest. My portable/only rig consists of a 7th gen iPod classic, a LOD, JDS Labs C5, and my M-100's. I have over 100GB of digital music most of which is Lossless and encoded with Aiff or ALAC. I also have a collection...

I am currently using a 7th gen iPod classic< pure silver Lod< Fiio E11< V-Moda Crossfade M-100 with XL pads. I've been using this rig since last January and I definitely want an upgrade. On a budget of less than $300 Should i look into something similar to the E12,C5, or the C5D, or would it be...

My first question is would investing in vinyl even be worth it? I currently have a cd collection of like 45 cd which I have all purchased all in the past 8 months. Would the difference between listening to vinyl and listening to Lossless CD rips through my iPod classic< Fiio E11< V-MODA...

I got interested in Head-Fi last year around November last year and one of my favorite things about it quickly became buying CDs. I repurchased as much of the things I bought on iTunes or in 320kbps mp3 on CD and then ripped those CDs into AIFF and ALAC files on my iPod Classic 160 GB. After...

Just out of curiosity, What would acceptable an acceptable turntable cost? Also what other components make up a turntable rig?

I am extremely confused on which setup I should purchase for use at home with my M-100 and eventually an Open back set of cans,either the HD-650 or HE-400. I've read the gain on the Magni and Modi is too high for the M-100 and it's too powerful for even the HE-400, much less the M-100. I...

Which stack would be the best overall for use with my M-100 and the HE-400 once I purchase it? I've been told that the Schiit M&M has a set gain of +5 where as the O2 and ODAC stack gain can be either +1, +5, or +6.5. Honestly I don't know how gain effects headphones so any help will be appreciated.

Can anyone point me towards a 2.1 monitor system for listening to EDM, and Mixing? Thanks!

Thanks in advance for all the help! I'm looking into getting my first Mid-fi cans. I am on a $300 budget. I listen to only EDM, specifically the genres Techno, Electro house, Indie Dance, House, Dubstep, Progressive house, Breaks, electronica, and drum and bass I am a bass head, my current pair...

I am very close to purchasing my first DAC and amp but I do not know which of the two setups would be best. If I were to get the D1 I would use the USB into my computer, I'd have my Xbox's audio going into it, and a Blu-Ray player (For CD purposes) all connected to it. Schiit's new Magni and...

I will be using it with a pair of Ultrasone Pro 550's. I listen to EDM so it will need to sound good for that type of music. Also I use Windows 8 on my computer so it needs to be compatible with that. Thank you!

I'm in the market for new headphones and I need to hear some opinions on which of these three headphones perform the best for edm. I listen to artists like Boys Noize, Daft Punk, Terravita, mr OIZO, and Zomboy if that helps.I'm a bit of a bass head but only as long as the mids and highs are not...

On a budget $150-$200 what cd player would provide the highest quality audio? Thank you!

i have been researching and researching and cannot find anything on a good DAC/Amp for edm so i really need some help. I love nice tight thumping sub bass and clear mid bass that does extend into the mids, with warm mids and highs (Sorry I lack the vocabulary to properly explain what I...

I listen to primarily edm. I own the Ultrasone DJ 1and this will be my first non-portable set up and I'm a bit confused on what all it will need to consist of. I'm currently looking at the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1. Would that sound good for the type of music I listen to? sorry if I come...

I need at least 30 GBs of memory. What player will give me the best SQ? I've been looking at the iPod classic 7th gen, but I've heard some people say it lacks good SQ, is that true? I'm willing to go a little higher on my budget if needed. Thank you!

For under $180, what DAPs can I get? I'm looking for at least 30 GBs in memory(possibly including an SD card slot if that player has that ). I would like for there to be a screen, so I can see album artwork too. Good SQ is a must! Thank you!

I listen to primarily House, dubstep, drum and bass, techno, and electronica. I'm quite a bass head, but after using my current headphones, the sony xb 500, I've decided I want cleaner bass, and warm mids and highs. Can I hear some opinions for all these? Hear are some examples of the kind of...

I currently manage all my files on iTunes . I use an iphone 4s for portable listening and I am planning on getting a fiio e11 in the next two weeks for it.  Is there something better than  the ipod classic when using the e11 for the around the same price? Thank you!

I'm in the process of rebuying all my iTunes bought music on cd, so that I can have lossless quality music. The music that I cannot purchase on cd I will buy either off of beat port or some other website that sells it in a lossless format. Is this a waste of money or what? Can I have some...

I'm currently using the sony xb 500's but I want to upgrade in the near future. I listen to only house and its many sub genres, dubstep, and drum and bass. I can spend $200-$250 max. I've heard the good thing about the Ultrasone HFI-580/ DJ pro. But with my budget what would give me the best...

I will be using them mainly for listening through an ipod or a laptop but would also like to be able to use them to produce music. I listen to house, dubstep, drum and bass, nu disco, glitch hop, and electronica. I love bass, but I prefer it clear and accurate in unison with good mids and...
