Hey folks I am not typically a headphone person, so you'll notice that my account here is old and typically less active. Since I've been around last, a friend let me keep a pair of Shure Aonic 4 IEMs. They're kind of rocking my world, and I'm really happy with how they sound, even through phone...

Hey folks I've got a trade offer and I'm trying to determine which iteration of the Schiit Bifrost I'm looking at. So far I haven't been able to find a collection of distinctions between gens and versions all in one place so I'm starting a thread. The model I'm looking at is labeled SCH04e. How...

Hey folks. I just plugged in an Audio GD r2r 11 DAC/Headphone amp. Using Foobar and MusicBee as players, WASAPI out in the the DAC. While playing back redbook FLAC files, there's a ticking noise that occurs about 4 times per second. It sounds like it's mixed low in the music, but it's...

My current system is a JE Labs simple 2a3 amplifier driving a pair of Altec 604's with Markwart crossovers. I'm finishing up a Thorens TD 124 for my anolog setup, which means I'll be looking at upgrading digital again soon. my experience: I've been using the Starting Point Systems TDA 1543 DAC...

Hey folks, wondering if anyone can point me to the next step. I am using an RPI b 3 with the v0.3-beta (23/03/2016) release. Currently the unit is plugged into a monitor via HDMI, and I am using a Logitech keyboard to navigate through the UI. I do not have any touchscreen devices to wire to the...

Hey HF community. This is a genuine inquiry, not an attempt to kick a hornets nest. I love the sensation of a soundstage filling a room, and I have a strong preference to a soundstage being in front of me. At this point, all of the gear in my setup has been chosen with the most primary criteria...

Hey folks, I've spent quite a bit more time over at Audiokarma.org but my handle is the same as here (and a number of other forums). However, Head-fi seems to be king for DAC, digital, and of course headphone concerns!   So I am back to ask the experts for a recommendation. I've been...

I'm very happily running a runeaudio server from a Raspberry Pi into my Schiit Modi. Just noticed under the settings that there are multiple sound signature options. RA's website claims that these changes are very subtle. Does anyone have opinions regarding these? Perhaps a link to someone...

I'm interested in investigating op amps by assembling a simple rca in rca out preamp to go between DAC and power amp. Here's a link to the kit I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131151570002 (one of the P7 kits)   Also looking at a number of attainable op amps like the AD 8066.   So my...

I don't have any experience with Raspberries but I should be picking one up soon. Wondering if anyone can talk to me about which apps are available utilizing the new Windows IoT build. I'm interested in the possibility of figuring out how to integrate foobar or foobar mobile. I'm doing lossless...

I just got a worn pair of AKG K77's for pretty cheap. I read the thread discussing the addition of cork and sticky tack into the enclosure and now I'm interested in other potential modifications. I know that there's probably a limited range of things you can do in such a limited space, but go...

Ive had my X1 for a couple of months now. The first micro as I got was a scam card so I ordered another one that also doesn't read back any data. (Fool me twice...) Anyway, the second card both doesn't work AND will not remove from the player's slot. It's stuck in the depressed position and...

My X1 is having trouble recognizing the songs I've loaded to the micro SD card. So first things first: It's running the 1.3 firmware. The card is a Samsung 128g, class 10, 48mb/s card. It's correctly formatted as fat32. I've used foobar2000 to transfer 49.9g of lossless music to the card in the...

I started using foobar a little bit ago and I really like the program. So far I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to make sorting behave via string construction as well as vu plugin configuration and WASAPI playback to my DAC, etc. My point being I'm not completely new to the program -...

Hey all. I signed onto the forum a month or so ago, so I suppose it's time for a formal introduction. I'm currently running lossless files configured through foobar2000 set to Wasapi out to a Schiit Modi through my stereo. I've also ordered a fiio x1 and I've got a pair of ATH M50x's set up...
