I've been look and reading about these Fiio E7 & Fiio E10 DAC/Amps. I am specifically wondering how much one would actually improve the audio of my laptop, which uses some "Realtek HD Audio" device.   As for headphones I really enjoy the AKG K271. They sound pretty good from my laptop, but I...

Everyone seems to say the 225s are the sweet spot in the Grado line. Help me pick between the 225s and 325s! I already have the 125s and love them especially now that I have a true USB DAC headphone amp.   Do the 225s really deliver a killer low end that the 125s seem to lack sometimes? I...

Hi guys, I mostly listen to trance , I LOVE epic breakdowns with lots of bass that make you go crazy :)! That involve you in the music you know? Price Range is about 350$ MSRP, I will get sooner or later the Fiio E7 since I'm happy right now with my Onkyo 4000$ Reciever.   I Want LOTS OF...

I recently purchased a used pair of the legendary HD580s and I really love what they are doing. They are replacing my Shure 840s as my main set of cans for listening at home. I no longer need closed back here and the more open presentation is very appealing. I have this trait where I try to do...

So i bought a new soundcard, the x-fi hd usb, and opened it up so everybody can see just how much hardware this baby hides under the hood. So i'll just post a picture...     After i'll install the drivers I will make some RMAA tests, but beware, this thing has awesome output but not so...

Hi,   I am new to the site and have a question regarding a portable solution I am considering.  I have a ipod touch 4g, and (in the mail) are some AKG Q701s.  I hear the AKG Q701s are hard to drive, so now I am here.   So my question is - if I plan to be on the move (not running, but...

Hey guys,    I recently bought one of these as a temporary solution when I was in-between DACs for audiophile quality music listening. The main thing that attracted me to the unit was that it played back sound at 24 bit/96kHz and was quite inexpensive compared to most audiophile DAC/Amps. It...

I am looking to set up my pc hifi system, so the first stage is to get a decent dac, however I almost know nothing about this and my budget is about 1000 usd, second hand will also do. My headphones are cd3000 and rs1, I may get a hd800 or t1 later on. Also I think I will get an amp to use with...

Hey guys!   Sorry in advance if this topic has come up many times or if I'm posting in the wrong place! So, I have recently purchased The E7 Headphone amp from FiiO (Or specifically, Micca) and it has been great! ... For the 1 day that it had actually worked. I've had it about 3 days now...

Hi,   while I understand that similar questions might have been asked before, I need help with my specific situation. Right now I'm running my cable-modded HD-25-1 II's directly from my computer (built in Realtek HD Audio). As this is my work computer I cannot install a soundcard but I still...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but my post sort of covers every section here :)   At present all of my audio gear is set up for my laptop and is simply not practical for portable use. As I spend a fair amount of time using my laptop & Gaming I own a pair of Steelseries Siberia V2's...

Hey guys I'm getting the hifiman ef2a usbdac/amp and was going to get the AKG K240MKII.  My main concern is that this is my first decent purchase on an audio setup.  I listen to music on my pc around 6-8 hours a day because write.  I listen to everything besides modern country, death metal...

I've been using the radius DDMs for a few months now (only previous phones were klipsch s4s). I use the DDMs primarily with a desktop computer at work--no idea what sound card it has--maybe a soundmax or something. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a good USB dac for use in...

Hello everyone!   I'm looking for a better alternative for my onboard sound chip and my "Creative Audigy 2 NX". As stated in the headline I'm only going to listen to music with it. (so I don't care about any features regarding recording, mixing, etc.)   Headphones I use: beyerdynamic DT...

Hey Guys,   I'm a noob around these parts. I troll every once in a while to get some reviews on things, but I signed up for this one question (I'm sure I'll have more now that I'm a member).   I consider myself to have a champagne taste with a beer budget so I do what I can. I have a...
