    What's the "best" open back headphone for $580 or under?

    I'm still very much a noob to this hobby and haven't heard much of anything high quality before besides the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0. So I'm not really sure what sound signature I like, I just know I love and listen to almost all genres of music. I understand it might be difficult to recommend me...

    Does scratches on a CD effect sound quality besides skipping?

    Hello,    I'm wondering if scratches on a CD effect SQ other than skipping. Also, say if I were to take a scratched CD and rip it onto my computer, would it still skip? And would the rip track be flawless even if the CD was scratched up?

    Audioegine D1 & Schiit Fulla both have the same DAC, does this mean both sound the same?

    Hello, I was looking at the specs of the Schiit Fulla today and realized it uses the same DAC, the AK4396 as the Audioegine D1. And I was curious, does this mean they sound the same? I assume not since the specs do look a bit different compared to each other. But that's just a bunch of mumbo...

    Doesn't matter if it's open or closed-back design. I'm looking for something with an amazing soundstage, good but not overpowering bass, just something that does well with all sorts of different music. Something that's not too boring sounding.

    Dragonfly v1.2, Meridian Explorer, Schiit Fulla, do these support FLAC & MP3 320kbps?

    That may be a stupid question, but I'm a little confused with the whole 24-bit/96kHz capability. Does that have nothing to do with bitrate of the music? Just a little unsure. I want to get something that I can use on my PC and play FLAC music.

    NAD Viso HP50 users, will this songs on YouTube sound good on these headphones?

    Hello, I'm wondering if songs on YT will sound good on these headphones. The only reason I ask is because I've heard on a couple different occasions that compressed music on YT isn't very forgiving on these particular headphones. Is that true? Because I tend to listen to quite a lot of music on YT.
