I like to have a word in this. Although I think an amp is needed, i think that other amps that comes is for comp speakers(preferably good) is also adaquate. I use Chaintech av-710>logitech z-2200 (headphone out)>senn 580. I heard of the sound and it sounded quite well. On a note, senn580 plug...

sell them immediately. After 5yrs, with that money (if you did not waste it yet), buy yourself a better cans.

Sounds like a software problem within windows than the actual sound card. Or try installing at diff. slots maybe? reinstall driver? did the onboard sound give out sound? heck, i see u might need few hours just messing with possible hypothesis.

My foobar works with asio by this setup: 24bitpadded32, use that foo_output_asio(dll), output as asio (dud), No resampling. A/w about resampling, i hear no sound improvement when upsample so i just disable resample. It could be the placebo effect with resample on my senn580.

Global shortcut let u control regardless of what you windows you are on (e.g. surfing the new). It just require that you have foobar running in the background (dud :P). Any program can have windows rights to do that, even hackers can have windows rights

Jumpers (both) should be on pin 1and2 to disable if u like. You the rear out and set High resample rate on your sound card. Trust me, i tested using the telephone flac file and it the green line out plug gave me a distortion whereas rear out doesnt.

check it out :P screen shot of my foobar2k with modified plish column ui and foopilot_one look

To make winamp 5.0version use asio. First download ASIO4all, install it. Set sound driver 1.43d to high resample rate (hook speakers to rear out). Download in_mpg123.dll for input and out_asio(exe).dll at the japanese site, and add it into winamp plugin folder (make sure that it is for winamp...

Why would you want to mess up with equalizer? AV710 is a great sound source already. If you find you need an equalizer, then it might be your speakers that are not doing its job :P

If you want to know your hearing frequency, download soundcheck and test the frequency at the ends. I can hear 20hz-16khz. This test is quite useful. I heard a alien buzzing(4times) when i plug my Hd580 into line out (not rear out) on AV-710. The setup was enable high sample rate, using asio...

I think the reason why i cannot put Foobar DSP resampler to 96khz on is because my AV-710 card has Enable High - Sample Rate set on at 96khz. I guess it cant resample with foobar and with sound card at same time. Does it make sense to you?

I got foobar 0.8.3 to work in asio now! I install the special version (check all installation). I have to disable all DSP resampling to (either 96000hz or 48000) to make asio works. Now that I have asio to work, will the sound quality be reduced now that I have resampler PPHS and SSRC disable?

Not to worry fellow head-fier. I just brought AV-710 today. Followed the instruction, got totally confused, scratch my head, put my brain on power, then i got it work. Foobar and winamp(especially) gave me this horrible clipping. In the end, i fixed it. Let just say the sound never have been...

thank gsferrari, I took them out and gave them a nice cleaning.

Also i'm using winamp 5.05 with asio. Somehow the volume bar in winamp does not work. The volume bar control wave volume. Well it moving the bar up and down does not control the volume, only the master volume works. Is this happening to you guys?

Hi, I d/l foobar (great sound by the way). I could not get asio to work on foobar with av-710. I am left to use Kernel as of now. The japanese website has the version of asio that is for v.0.8.2. Is there a way to work this out in the new foobar version? If not is there an a website to d/l the...

Hi, I am curious on my hd580. It seems like the cans need a bath. Well, the velour padding is quite dirty due to extensive usage. Can you show me how to take the velour out to wash it? Also, I heard the cable is detachable, how would i go about deteaching it? Thanks

I hear that setting the computer volume to 90% is better since at 100% it might gives minute crackling sound due to the sound card or comp components maxing out.

"holy", that is a lot of "crap" impression that you wrote.

Ok i have rule out the Cmoy amp. Can someone clear me up why are we using these "small portable looking" amp for hi-fi cans. Can I just drive the 580 into my average home audio receiver/amplifier in the front where it it says phono and get the same result as say a Pimeta amp?

thanks for the advise. I am just wondering why u would like me to get a 555 instead of a 590 (same ohm impedance). I thought i heard good reviews about the 590.

My source is a chaintech av-710 card. I'm using it for my 192-320kps MP3s. Will an amp makes a diff when i listen to my medium-high quality mp3s? If so, would a Cmoy be adaquate for my HD580 or HD 590? I am also thinking just getting a 590 w/out amp. I dont like the feeling of spending as much...
