Hi there Head-fi'ers, I just ordered the Hifiman Sundara closed back. I own the other two cans mentioned in the title. The offering price of 169 euro was too good to pass. I read that the Sundara's closed back have some wobbly midrange with some surpressed highs. I wonder how they will compare...

Hello everyone! I couldn't find any comparison between these models. Can anyone tell me the main difference? I'm looking for a very detailed sub-bass and I hate trebles.

So in another thread I talked about adding some material inside the earcup to help with the weird upper mids and low end roll off of these cans. I then ran accross the thread about using sinegen to check for frequency response  so I gave it a try. I found huge dips and peaks. I use an EMU 1212m...

I currently use an EMU 0404 USB DAC with the built in headphone amp for my Denon AH-D2000 headphones.  I'm looking to upgrade.  I'm in the process of ordering a new cable and connector for these headphones (I'm going with moon audio blue dragon + furutech FP704), as well as the tools necessary...

Hi there   I am thinking it's about time I upgrade my computer and I am considering getting a Mac.  I just wondered if there's any recommendations for a good DAC for Mac.  My budget is £200 (OK if need to go over a bit) and my requirements are:   1) I listen to a lot of classical music...

Hello, I am looking to hook up my powered speakers to my PS3 through its optical out and my Macbook through USB. Are there any DACs available under $200 or would I have to get something like the V-DAC? A headphone amp would be nice but it's not necessary. Thanks.

Review: Jkeny’s modified Hiface A few months ago I started a thread here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/usb...hiface-449885/ where I compared a few usb to spdif converters. So far I had used in my system 6 different usb converters and the M2tech Hiface was my favourite. A few weeks ago...

Hi All,   I am looking for a nice headphone amp for my Denon AH-D2000's. I would primarily be using the amp & headphone with my Dell Inspiron laptop (which doesn't have a good soundcard). My budget is $200. I've narrowed my choices down to Audinst hud-mx1 and Asus Xonar Essence. Please let...

I've used ASIO with Foobar for probably two years now. Out of the blue, it stopped working. The song plays maybe a quarter of a second and the visualizations begin, then it freezes with the visualizations stuck at that sound.   Yes, my output is ASIO.   Yes, the channels are mapped.  ...

Does anyone know which USB or PCI cards have the lowest jitter coax or optical outputs? I'm currently using a Juli@ in one computer, but in that case the Juli@'s internal DAC is feeding a multizone amp for a whole-house audio setup. For my "dedicated" listening room, I'd like to configure...

Hi, i am in a big controversy about what interface of sound should i buy.   I am a music lover fan, i have a pair of KRK RP5G2 and a few weeks ago i decided to start to using headphones for listening music at work because i get boring easily. I am going to buy a Sony MDR 7506(i need closed...

Which output should I use to connect the headphone amp? Or does not matter?
