Just picked up Moprice 8320s after i saw the thread on this website and decided to seek your expert advice on a new system for college to put in my room. The room is about 10X18 and I don't have roommates so no worries about noise :)    I will be using my laptop(Dell XPS 15) and my phone...

Hey so I'm a complete, utter noob in the world of audio. I have a HD-598, and I usually just plug it into my PC to listen to it, I don't think I have a soundcard.   Should I get a Nuforce ICON uDAC2, e10, something like that?   And how would I use it? Do I plug the DAC into the pc and...

I don't have any experience with external DAC's and am just starting to learn about them.   I have an old Rotel RCD-950 cd player.  I bought it new back in 1998.  It still sounds pretty good.  But as upgraditis goes, I'm curious if adding an external DAC will offer a significant...

My sound card (X-Fi Titanium, non HD) seems to introduce a bit of static into my tracks at this point, the bitperfect sounds much better in comparison, but I know that little thing has a bit of trouble driving my DT990s (600ohm, how do you insert the symbol for that via keyboard anyway? XD).  ...

Hey everyone. I'm new here and looking for a little help.   I'm currently sitting on a mid-ish range set-up my current set-up is as follows.  Sennheiser HD558's Astro Gaming Mixamp with TOSLINK connection   I'm looking to spend around £400 ($615) on upgrading it. I mainly listen to...

In my pc I have an Asus Xonar Essence STX, and I recently bought a macbook pro to use for video editing and stuff, but the audio sounds terrible.    Is there any way to get audio output with the quality of the Xonar Essence STX on my macbook pro?

Looking for a external DAC with two analog outputs (assuming two set of RCA outputs). To be hooked up to a computer with USB, maybe optical. Lower priced stuff, under $200.

Hey guys,   I'm looking to get a setup going for home. I've looked around and I'm planning on buying a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohms. I mainly play my music off my Laptop, but the DAC isnt particularly good either. Now I already have a Fiio E7 at home but I know the new headphones...

I currently use 5g Ipod > LOD > RSA Tomahawk > Senn HD650 at work. I have decided that I want to upgrade my source. I don't care one bit about portability, so I plan on bringing in an old netbook that sits unused to host all of my music in FLAC. I still plan on using the Tomahawk and HD650, I...

A couple of months ago i purchased my first set of good headphones, the DT 770 80 Ω. I'm very happy with them and now it's time to get a proper amp and perhaps a DAC for them. I have around 600$ I can spend and before I'm making any purchases I'm wondering what sort of improvement I'll get by...

I recently got myself some Grado sr225i's and I'm in the market for a DAC for them (Currently running them from an ASUS Xonar DG). I am interested in the TC7510 that I found on eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370528529957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1405wt_1396). I've...

Hello,   I’m considering on purchasing my first DAC, but I really don’t know where to start.  First let me explain and detail my current setup.   It’s a vinyl setup TT: VPI Scoutmaster with a Dynavector 17D3 cartridge Phono stage: Aesthetix Rhea (tube phone/pre) Marantz PM11S2...

Sup head-fi, relative audiophile noob here and first post on the forums. I have 2 questions.   First, I picked up a set of ATH-AD900's and they're awesome cans, really enjoying them. They're running through a Titanium HD as well as my MDR-7506's. I also have a set of M-Audio AV-40's that run...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a usb DAC/amp that is an upgrade to the E10 that I can listen to music on my computer.  Ive been reading through a lot of threads but not really sure what to get.  Preferrably under $200, less is better.  Thanks.

Hello,       So I just bought the minibox-ES for my ipad/laptop and it definitely improved the sound/quality of mp3's using my Etymotic ER4S IEM's.  Since I went with a standalone amp instead of the amp/dac combo, I'm now looking for a standalone dac to pair it with.  Do you think it's worth...

Hello. I'm looking to set up a modest audiophile headphone system to listen to my CDs. I already own the Sennheiser HD 600, but I've been listening to them out of a Harman Kardon HK 3385 A/V receiver coupled with a Technics SL-PD887 CD player, which doesn't have digital out.   The first...

I hate to make another one of these threads, but every DAC thread is about USB, and I rock with a CD player. So I need a DAC with either optical or coaxial input and stereo RCA output. Size doesn't matter, but I do need to stay right around the $250 mark. I have a pretty good nuetral amp and...
