Review by 'dannydamsky' on item 'Audio-Technica ATH-M50x'
These headphones are just brilliant for their price. I've heard a few other pairs at it's price range and I assure you there's nothing quite like it. I've heard people say that these have bloated bass, and I have to disagree. The bass shines in songs where it's emphasized, songs which...- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
Well at the moment I'm connecting my phones to the DGX, so the cable goes to the back of the PC, so the length of the stock cable is something I need to have at the moment. I'll see if I'll mind it when/if I get a Fulla or an E10K- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
Well I don't know if it's related but the reason I went for a Xonar in the first place is because my Realtek on-board card started making funny noises. But PC noise aside, how big will the difference be? So if my PC is not noisy, will the difference be noticeable?- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
I did disable the motherboard's on-board audio. How big of a difference will an upgrade like that make? Is it worth it for someone on a tight budget?- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
So do you think a Fulla would make a noticable difference for me? I am aware that there's interference with my DGX, but I don't hear any noise, it sounds clean. I'm just wondering whether something like a Fulla or an E10K would make a noticable difference.- dannydamsky

How is the Fulla and E10K durability-wise? If I'm gonna buy either one I want it to last me at least 2 years, since I got the HD598 is uses a 1/4 inch jack which I use with the 1/8 inch adapter, so I don't want the headphone jack to suddenly break.- dannydamsky

Actually the U7 is more like a DX than a DGX, it uses a better DAC than the DGX, although I'm not sure by how much, it uses a Cirrus CS4398/CS4362 DAC and a Cirrus CS5361 ADC, don't know anything about it's amp though. I'm not sure about the Fulla, first of all where I live Chinese products are...- dannydamsky

The E10K is supposed to be much improved over the E10, the DG and DGX are exactly the same. The E10 uses a Wolfson DAC while the E10K uses a Texas Instruments PCM5102 they also changed the opamp there, although I'm not sure what that means exactly. The DGX uses a Cirrus Logic CS4245/CS4361 DAC...- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
Yeah I forgot to mention I never use gaming features I think it's wrong to do so. I run the Low-DPC drivers from Uni-Xonar with everything checked off so...Will the DAC/Amp in the E10K be better than the DAC/Amp in my Xonar DGX?- dannydamsky

Currently using a Xonar DGX, should I upgrade?
I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD 598's which I connect to the Xonar DGX (Which is a PCI-E variant of the Xonar DG for anybody who doesn't know). I'm wondering if there would be a noticeable difference if I'd upgrade to an external DAC/Amp combo like a FiiO E10K? Suggestions are welcome...- dannydamsky

Sennheiser HD 598 vs Philips Fidelio X1
I have tried them and it seems like the official drivers work much better than the Uni Xonar drivers.- dannydamsky

Sennheiser HD 598 vs Philips Fidelio X1
Yes I have, I've disabled my motherboards on-board audio. And the DGX is only temporary, I bought it about 2 months ago because I couldn't stand the on board audio. I will eventually move away from PCI-E altogether and I will probably go for the FiiO E10K, it's DAC is better than the Xonar...- dannydamsky
