    Any bass heads grow to prefer a more neutral sound?

    Nothing wrong with a fun pair of cans, but I'm just wondering; how many of you started out as bass heads and over time grew to prefer a more neutral and honest pair of cans? I've been listening to DT770 pro's for a number of years now, and just got my hands on a pair of 880 pro's today and it...

    M-100 vs DT 770 pro 80

    How does the V Moda M-100 compare to the DT 770 pro in terms of sound signature? I currently have the 770 pro 80, and I like the sound of them, but there is the infamous driver buzz at certain frequencies that I've grown tired of fixing.   M-100 certainly is a lower impedance can than the 770...

    O2+Odac issues

    I just got my O2+Odac last week, and it worked out of the box, but over the last few days it hasn't been working right. The first time it happened I was trying to make a skype call and heard nothing. Turned out that it wasn't just in Skype, it was everywhere, no internet sounds, system sounds...

    o2+odac doesn't work with skype?

    Nevermind, I got it working. I'm not really sure what happened, but the solution was to remove my blue snowball microphone, which was plugged into the USB port right next to the DAC. When both are plugged in, as soon as a call starts, the odac loses all sound, and if I go into volume settings in...

    o2+odac doesn't work with skype?

    I just got the O2+Odac combo this week, I joined a skype call just a few minutes ago, and I hear nothing. I went into the audio settings and made sure my default was set to the o2, but I hear no sound, despite seeing the little sound meter going up and down in skype. Is this a known issue? I'm...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Returning my X1's today, just thought I'd post and give my two cents.   It was the first open can I had ever experienced, and I guess it's just really not for me. They sound okay, but I prefer the sound of my DT770 pro.    -Non replaceable ear pads. I really like that security blanket with...

    Horrible distortion is Schiit stack

    I got the Schiit M&M stack a few weeks ago, usually I just leave it on unless I'm going somewhere for a long time. Today I sat down after lunch and had horrible distortion in the right ear. It was an awful static hiss with popping sounds. What ended up fixing it was removing the modi's usb...

    v-moda m100

    Not sure how revealing those headphones are, but if the audio file is not of high quality, then that could be the problem.

    "sound solution" for DT770s

    I've got the 80 ohm version of the DT770 pro, and I've been using them with a Xonar DG. I should have a Schiit stack by this upcoming Wednesday, and then I'll be able to weigh in if you still haven't made a decision by that point.

    Does Schiit stack come with required cables?

      Yeah, I actually went there and grabbed an RCA and USB cable, seems really good prices compared to getting them from Schiit.

    Does Schiit stack come with required cables?

    I'm assuming they come with their power adapters, but other than that what cables will I have to get separately?

    sound signature of DT770 pro 80 vs Fidelio X1/28

    Hey, thanks for the reply, you're actually the one who recommended the Phillips to me in the computer audio section. I'm using a xonar DG, which is sufficient enough to power them, and I can always turn off the amp with a pair of low impedance cans. It's not that the Beyer's sound bad or...

    sound signature of DT770 pro 80 vs Fidelio X1/28

    I've been listening to the Beyer's for a while now, but recently the Philips Fidelio X1 has caught my eye. They were recommended in another thread, and I'm curious to try an open back headphone, because I never have before.   However, $230 is kind of steep. If the sound signature or sound...
