Hi! I'm looking for a DAC, AMP, Soundcard and headphone combo. for under 600 USD. I play games frequently, and my headset is partially broken (a Razer one, bought it a couple of years ago in my defense). I also listen to a lot of music, some rock, but mostly electronic music. What...

Long post Basically I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment I've got an Onkyo 605 but I'm not using it to it's full functionality, probably won't in the future and it's a bit of a pain to have around. I did have multiple speakers, a TV, PS3, 360, PC connected to it, but I've got rid of my PS3...

Forgive me if there is another thread on this, I searched long and hard but... yeah.   It may be a number of things, but I will just say that, I own the Fiio E17, an hp pavilion g6, and a pair of Denon d2000, and forreal I can't even tell a huge difference between using the Fiio E17, and...

 Audinst HUD-mx1, Total Bithead, HI-FI Man EF2A,or the Fiio e9 e07k combination. I'm leaning towards the e9 because I can use my ipod and computer but I don't know.By the way I'm planning on use a HE-400 An opinion would be helpful. oops four amps     

I recently purchased a FiiO E9 in Amazon, and received the E9K instead (paid 88 bucks)   Someone mentioned the Schiit Magni amplifier, for $99 bucks.   My setup is:   Sound Card: Creative Titanium X-Fi HD Headphones: AKG Q701 Main purpose: Gaming   The question is simple...

JDS Labs Assembled O2 Black Edition Review   I would like to thank JDS Labs for sending me this sample for review, and to use as my reference amp. I will write as honest a review possible, supposedly this amp needs no burn-in as there are no capacitors in the output stage, even so it has...

Instead of using eq settings from winamp, is there a program to have the eq setting all through out ?   I have odac/o2 combo, but there isn't any eq settings under device settings

He guys, I've been following around n looking for a good budget amp/dac combo. The Schiit MM stack seemed great for the money, but had a gain of 5x (phones are 106 and 108dB). Because of that, I've been searching for another alternative, and the objective combo seems to be it.   At the...

I've been looking for some time now to replace my soundcard which died months ago now.  I figured it was the perfect excuse for me to look into getting a dac/amp or combo of a dac and amp.  Currently I'm using the M50's and I know they don't need amping, but I'd like to get a better dac than...

I have recently bought Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600ohm to use for a wide range of things, from videogames to listen to IPod. I already had AKG Q701 and they are perfect except the volume matter, and the Beyers are even worse. I don't want to give some large bucks for the amp or a DAC device if...

I have a set of Sennheiser HD400's that desperately need an amplifier that can really do them justice. So far the only amp I have thats anywhere close to being able to drive them is my Fiio E17 set to +12db. Yet that's still not enough!   Its a wicked portable DAC/Amp but no where near...

Hey guys. I currently have the O2 and want to get the ODAC. So, I have this rca cable:   http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=47   And if I get the ODAC can I do this setup:   hd 650 -> o2 -> RCA cable via male 3.5mm plugged into o2 -> odac w/ rca (end of the rca cable plugged...

Need a good amp for the MD's.. Using Digizoid ZO2 as an EQ (for bass boost) and the little adapter's DAC for now, might change my setup in the future (Override the iPhone DAC or something). Was looking at the E9 but I'm open to anything. No need for portability since I will only be using the...

For my computer audio I've been using a Creative X-FI Titanium Edition, Berrydynamic DT990's 350ohmz, and a Fios E11 Portable Amp. I'm getting annoyed changing out the batteries to the portable AMP so often, so I would like to switch to a dedicated desktop amp. Additionally, I figure a better...

Hey guys this is the setup I have pretty much been thinking about going with. I already have the Ti HD driving my AD700s. But want an upgrade.   Would the OB 2 source be plugged into the 3.5 mm jack? Or the RCA outputs on the soundcard?   Any help would be great. Any advantages to the...

With a budget of up to 150€, I was thinking that instead of getting a good external amp/dac combo for that price, I might get one of the objective devices in combination with a cheaper but servicable companion for about the same price. What should I rather get, an O2 or ODAC, and can you think...

Hey there everyone. I recently got an O2 and love it. I really want to get a schiit modi to go along with it. I got these cables:   http://www.jdslabs.com/item.php?fetchitem=47   So I can plug the o2 into the modi, then the modi into my computer. Will this be a good solution? Also, will...

I'm currently using HD 555's and I just nabbed a pair of HD 650's last night on sale. So, I guess that means it's time to invest in an amp and some kind of dac-- or combo. These headphones are going to stay put, so portability is not necessary. Currently my 555's are just connected to my desktop...

Hello,   A friend will sell me soon his "new" BeyerDynamic DT880 600Ohm. Unlike him im not often at home for the moment so i need a portable amp. I know this headphone need some power to be driven properly and  I do not really know which one to take... Source : Mobile / Audio-Flac player/...

Visited the wonderful Billy at Noisy Motel in Prarahn (Melbourne) last night to tinker with some amps. First off i would like to thank him for making the time to meet me at 7:30 PM on a Sunday!   So this place is like Charlies Chocolate Factory for personal audio freaks. i LOVE visiting...

I just got a pair of HD650's for Christmas and love them when I am listening through our system, however much less impressed when listening through an iPod or my laptop. I am looking for a good portable amp on them, for under 150 (I would hope anyway) Thanks!

Which one should I use for my Hifiman He-400's? I have both but am not sure which one would be better. I'm assuming the E10?

I know very little about audio equipment so help me out. I currently listen to Koss Pro DJ 100s with a Fiio E5 amp, and a Mac or an Ipod Touch as my source. It sound's fine, but I wouldn't mind a nicer setup. I have about a $300 budget. Would it be a better investment to improve my headphones...

Brief description, I have 2 separate systems that I listen to music on, one stand-alone 2 ch audio system and a computer system. I've found that I haven't touched the 2 channel system in over a year, because I'm always at my computer when I'm listening to music. Also, the house I live in is very...

I recently purchased sony zx700s with head-fi's great advice. I'm building a rig and i need help on picking which sound card to get.   I probably won't be using this with speakers, since there are other people in my house. But if you guys happen to know about any cheap 2.1/5.1 or even 7.1...
