My source/amp is a Roland UA-25EX. Not a headphone DAC/amp I know, but should be fine. I like a bass heavy, darker tone that is good for mostly metal music, with heavy emphasis on vocals e.g Epica, Ayreon. Budget £150/$200. Thanks

Hey guys. I currently use a Roland UA-25EX as my audio source. I plug my Denon D5000s in for listening on the computer and because it's an audio interface I use it to connect my digital piano too. This is a really low end model though, only cost me £30/$50 so I was thinking of upgrading it...

Looking to boost the volume from my Xperia T phone because it's absolutely horrendous, when a car drives past I just can't hear my podcasts whatsoever at max volume. So I need a small, cheap as possible headphone amp. It doesn't need to be good, obviously. I just need a volume boost.   Thanks

So I bought some Denon D5000s 2 days ago from a head-fier. They are extremely good except for the fact the previous owner smokes, so the headphones smell of smoke. I don't mind too much, but I'd like to try and get rid of the smell. So far the only method I have tried is vinegar. I put the...

Not much info about the Senn's or AKG's, but from what I've gathered they both seem to be up there with the best in the price range. Alternatively, there's the AT CM700 which are £5 over my budget but if they're better than the two in the title, then I'd consider them. So, how do the two...

I'm only looking to add a few things to the default style (9.5.3). All I'd like is to be able to view the album art of the song playing and a lyrics panel - preferably with a lyrics downloader. I've tried doing these things myself but I just can't get them working. I've tried a number of...

Hmm, sorry if this is a little hard to understand as I can't really describe it, but I'm quite curious about this sound I'm hearing. It's sort of a fuzzy noise, that fizzes out after a second or so. It's most noticeable on the first track of Sigur Ros' album ( ) (Untitled), at around 1:20 in...

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade from my EMU 0202 USB. From what I understand either of these will be an upgrade but I can't find any comparisons. Has anyone heard them both and can comment? I have HD650s and a Darkvoice 332, by the way. Thanks

Hey guys, I have a friend who is looking to upgrade from his HD555s. I told him about my HD650 and DV332 setup, so he was interested in the combination, so he's probably going to get the same. However his source will be different. Right now it is as follows: EMU 1212M -> 1/4" to RCA...

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I'm torn between these two amps, to go with the HD650s I will hopefully be acquiring soon. I've read many threads comparing the two, and individual reviews, but I really just can't decide so I'd like the input of some head-fi members . I'm looking for...

Hey guys, Need a little help here. Just installed the EMU 0202 I received today. Installation went fine, and the sound was working OK. But at random times, the computer will just reboot itself. I know it's the EMU because it hasn't rebooted since I unplugged it. I think the unit may be...

Hey guys, I'm looking for the album Get There by Bôa. It might be called Getting There, I've seen it called both names. I've tried asking this on a couple of UK forums, but no UK stores have it. This site is mostly American, so I've got a better chance of finding it over here I reckon. So...

Hey guys, I recently bought a Mini^3 from a member here (KT88) but I am having some problems with it. It's been working fine for a few weeks, no problems at all. I don't know why this started happening, but for some reason the headphones are "popping" now when I listen to it. It's loud and...

Hey guys, For christmas I'm going to get another pair of headphones. I haven't decided what yet and I need your help. I'm looking for some really fun and energetic headphones that go well with rock music. I only really listen to rock -- lots of different types however. That screams Grado, I...

My brother picked up my Denon D2000's and the earcup fell off. I should have told him about the other things that would fall out when this happened, but now I can't find the spring and circle two washers that were inside the headband part were the earcup attaches to it. He can't find them...

Hey guys, I just bought one of these and set it up (thanks snowice). First impression is it's a very nice bit of hardware. Sounds noticably better over my M-Audio Revo 5.1 sound card. However I have a few questions about it: 1. I bought this to get rid of the hissing/sibilance the Revo...

I ask this because the cheapest I can find the 0404 is £140 / $280, where as I can get an EMU 0202 imported from America for just over $100. So, is the 0404 really worth the price? I'll only be using it for listening to musis, it'll be computer > EMU > Denon D2000's. I might throw an amp in...

Hey guys, I was wondering if the DAC on the Bithead was of better quality than the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card. The Revo sounds pretty good considering the price I paid for it, but I like the idea of a DAC/amp combo. Also, I'll be soon buying an Oppo 970HD DVD player. I wouldn't be...

Is this a case of burning in the headphones or amp, or what? They sound excellent through M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card, except for the sibilance the sound card gives. But when I use the Porta Corda they sound horrible. I can't explain it because I don't know the audiophile terms, but...

Hi everyone, I have a question about powering this amp. I'm currently using two 9v PP3 rechargable batteries so it will be powered indefinitely, but I was wondering if it would be worth getting a DC power supply to power it. How much would a 28v (I think that's the most you can use) DC power...

http://www.audiocubes.com/category/H...Headphone.html They're labelled as the "Pro" version (which in my research of Beyer headphones, always meant the "old" versions), but they look like the 2005 version. Can someone clear this up for me? Also - if anyone knows any sites that sell the...

I've tried searching but there's just too many results to go through to find a good answer for little qustions like this. So, how much sound do they leak? My open AD700's leak so much that they dirturb my brother (who is a little nuisance, I can't even listen to them while he's around). I'm...

Finally got them after a month. First thing I noticed when I took them out of the box: dear lord they're HUGE! Like really, these things are twice the size Sennheiser HD212Pro's. They're really nicely built and look awesome though. I love the colour of them. When I put them on I noticed...

Which one do you think would be a better choice? I'll using it to watch movies and listen to music mostly. A little bit of gaming too. So soundstage is pretty important for me (one reason I chose AD700's too). I listen to mostly rock (progressive, classic and some metal). It will only be used...

Hi all. I ask this as I am in need of a new amp. My current one (PA2V2) doesn't sound very good with movies it all; it makes the voices harder to understand for some reason. I've just bought Audio Technica AD700's from AudioCubes (ordered them a month ago and still haven't gotten them -_- )...
