Looking for a solid all around PCIe sound card for my AKG K702 Annies. Right If they have swappable op amps, I'm not afraid to mess with those, as well. Would like an optical input for passing console audio through it, as well.   I plan to use it for everything movies, music(EDM, rock...

If anyone want an inexpensive, high quality silver-copper cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221229941471?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649   Just got mine and they are fantastic. Quite a different sound and the clarity is crazy over the stock cables. Most other silver-copper...

Does anyone have a review or insight on these cables from Oyaide? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oyaide-HPC-X62-2-5m-Cable-for-Mini-XLR-Headphone-1-4-TRS-mini-XLR-/300788077369?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46085dd339   I don't have the materials to make a DIY cable, nor do I really want to learn...

When I turn my head from one side to another, I get loss of audio in one ear or the other or static. Anyone experience this before or have a solution. I tried the two cables included with the set and they both have this issue.

Quote:   Take my money, sir! You just sold me on these amps. Never messed around with my soundcard before, or amps for that matter, so we'll see how bad I fumble it up when I get my AD797BRs in a week or so. Looking forward to hearing how my Qs like them.

I need a desktop amp/dac for my q701s. I play a bit of battlefield but mostly need it for an easy to use volume/eq control next to me while I play movies, games, flight sim, etc.    Here is what I have a selection from:  http://munkonggadget.com/product_346681_th...

Okay. FINALLY Got my AKG Q701s after much discourse and lost mail stubs and a bunch of crap. Took 3 weeks, but finally got them, plugged them into my Xonar STX and turned on some music and it sounds absolutely fantastic (although very quiet and hard to drive - forgot I had my previous volume on...

Is it bad that I need a dictionary to help with some of the adjectives used to explain some of those words?

Not where I'm from, but where I currently live:     Love how the old canals mix with the newer skyline. Makes for a jungle sort of feel in a city that's growing rapidly.

Kavinsky and Lovefoxxx - Nightcall or from OCRemix.org Blue Skies by Ashleigh Coryell and bLiNd - sounds great!

Shure SHR-840s for awesome some great bass.

Yayyyyyy!

Aren't the mmx300s just dt770s and pc360s just the hd598? Haven't listened to the dt770s yet, but had a listen to the hd598s yesterday and if they are anything like the pc360s, I think you'd be making a good choice with them. Heard great reviews on the mmx300s too, though.

Found an open box q701 for about $360 (thanks Thai luxury taxes) on a Thai tech forum so I'll be ordering that. Went and demoed a pair of k701s and the HD598s. The 598s sounded great unamped in my iphone, but the 701s were just so much more comfy - but damn they're hard to drive. Hooked them up...

I'm not sure how they broke. I though the nixons were built like a rock. They're heavy as hell. I grabbed the ear cup, probably stretched it out 1 - 2 centimeters and *SNAP* looks like there is a weak spot right where something is molded and connected from the plastic headband to the metal cup...

Is the concensus still pretty much that the K70x and Senns are at the top of the pack? Just snapped the earcup off the side of my Nixon RPMs (only 2 months after doing the same thing to my Shure SHR-840s) and decided its time for a gaming headset. I listen to some music and watch movies (I'm no...

Fahhhhhkkkk me. I just snapped my second pair of headphones in 2 months. First the Shure SHR-840s, now my Nixon RPMs. Just taking them off my head casually and the plastic near the metal joint snapped. Super glued what i could, but now they kinda leak due to the angle the snap was in. They were...

Quote: I just got the STX, and while I'm no Audiophile, I plugged them into my Shure SRH840s and everything just sounds 20 times better. I listen to a lot of what you do, as well. I haven't been able to do any gaming with it yet, but I'm betting it will sound just as great.   I used...

Most of this stuff isn't readily available in Thailand. Went around the higher end malls and only found 1 place with some AudioTechnicas, Sens, Shures and Sonys.

I just put the Asus Essence STX sound card in my PC and from playing around with it, its pretty phenominal and sounds great on my Shure SRH840s. I went to test out some Audiotechnica's versus my Shure's at one of the only shops I could find them at (I live in Thailand... Import stuff is hard to...
