In the middle of PC gaming. My headphones will scream, screech, artifact extremely loudly for no reason. I end up having to rip the headphones off my head so that I don't get hearing damage. Its extremely loud all of the sudden. Seems like something is failing badly. This does not happen when I...

Hello again. I find my HD 6xx too punchy in their current configuration. Let me eloborate. Gear Wiim Pro via LAN > 4' Mediabridge Coaxial > Bifrost 2 > CableDirect 25' RCA > Darkvoice 336SE (stock) > HD 6xx with Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin Pads Tubes 1. Winged "C" 6AS7G + Tung-Sol 6SN7GTB...

Let me start off by saying that Head-Fi has really helped me learn and grow in this wonderful hobby. The community here has been amazingly helpful and respectful. I'm very glad I found this place on the interwebs and look forward to continuing to lean new things about audio gear and sharing...

I have two AMPS and want to connect them to a single DAC. How can I connect two AMPS to a DAC if the DAC only has one pair of RCA outputs and one pair of XLR outputs? Would a good RCA Splitter cable give me any feedback or distortion issues? Or.... would it be better to use the second set...

Please excuse my ignorance. I'm a little confused and need some help. In the following audio chain, which DAC is being utilized? PC > Bifrost > Jotunheim > Klipsch R-15PM Is it the Bifrost or the powered speakers internal DAC? Thanks

Quick question. Can someone recommend a decent quality standalone Bluetooth DAC? Audio Chain: Samsung Galaxy S21 phone streaming Tidal > ? Bluetooth DAC ? > Dark Voice 336SE/Bottlehead Crack > Sennheiser HD6XX I'm currently using a USB3 to RCA cable to connect my phone to the Dark Voice and...

This maybe a bit late, since I already own a Schiit Bifrost 2. But still, I don't understand how a high end digital to analog converter is required to maximize the listening experience since my PC or phone already have a built in DAC. Call me stupid.... STUPID! Good, got that out of the way...

Hello again everyone, I've been waiting patiently for 11 weeks for my Bifrost/Jotunheim order but I'm starting to think this combo may never materialize. Unfortunately, I'm starting to look a other possible dac/amp combos but need a little help. Trying to push a set of Modhouse T60RP Argon to...

Is there a way to increase the post per page on this forum? Default is set to 10. I can't seem to find the setting. Thanks!

I'd like to start by saying that I'm 98% sure I've found my "end game" planar magnetics, LCD-2 Classics. Thanks to the thoughtful people and kind advice here on Head-Fi. I mostly listen to EDM, Jazz, and Classical. My thoughts on headphones I've tried: Sundara: Didn't like the build. Pads hurt...

Using APO, is it better to set pre amplifying at 0 when using imported EQ or is it better to keep the pre amplifying setting and adjusting the volume pot to your desired listening level? Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out a way to quickly switch between headphones for A & B comparisons. Currently, I'm plugging and unplugging headphones in and out of an Asgard 3 amp/dac. I would like to purchase a high quality box that will allow me to do this on the fly without having to disconnect and...

I'm not an audiophile. Just a regular Joe trying to figure things out. I've been using a pair of Senn HD 598SE for gaming and music listening for about 5 years now. Being recently retired, a few months ago I decided to go on journey to find the best set of headphones that I can afford for music...
