Wow I don't think I've logged in to this site in over 10 years. Scary how quickly we lose track of time.. and how old I'm getting. From being a young adult to now edging closer to midlife. Anyway, I need some help. I'm after some bassy headphones after using some rather boring 598s for the past...

You know as good as those ATs look they still seem to use that crappy plastic head thing. :/

Cats ARE disgusting, at least my neighbours, but she's also disgusting. I live in a flat, so we have a shared hall way and I've seen the cat bring in dead mice and leave them on the stairs, it's also crap on the stairs on a few occasions. The neighbour also leaves the bowls of cat food out in...

I've been itching to buy a new pair of speakers, and I want to see what's out there, but at the same time it's important that it's a UK based company. For many reasons, mostly my dislike from ordering from overseas though and the drastic differences in prices. (Not to mention customs here are...

Having been through a lot of mental abuse in the past... go talk to him as an equal. I'm sure he'd appreciate it, I know I wish someone took the time back then to talk to me. Just don't talk about the people calling him names, if he wants to talk about them, he'll talk to you. All it takes is a...

Awesome! I'm actually surprised by the amount of scots on here. :D   How hard is it to rewire? is it something even a novice could do with a simple guide?   Unrelated, but I seem to have picked up some sort of summer cold, it's not very nice.

Also, if you're in the UK. Keep in mind it comes with a US power adapter and doesn't seem to be removable. (Not without a bit of know-how, anyway. Not something I could do)

Keep in mind that's subjective with no facts to back it up. Don't get me wrong, it might be, but you might find an equal amount of people who think the ST sounds better than the musiland. It's not really a reliable way to make a purchase. IMO.

I liked the look of the dacmagic, since it's also UK based, but I can't comment on how good it is. Just something I was looking into!

The Auzentech Bravura does.

I've looked at many cards in that price range and I can safely say, without a doubt. You won't find a better card than the essence ST. Honestly, I challenge anyone to find one. Even with the stock opamps it's delicious. The onkyo cards do look good, but they seem a fair bit more expensive and...

It's overrated like most things on head-fi.

There is a lot of proof, but keep in mind this was several years ago, you would need to search pretty deep to find it. He also offered me a discount when I emailed him about the MKIII back in 2007 if I made a positive review on head-fi.

If you really want a noticeable difference, you need to move away from sigma delta DACs and this is about the cheapest that isn't sigma-delta that you'll find. http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/dac/DAC19/DAC19EN.htm

If you ask me, no. I think you would need to spend a lot more to get an improvement over your Auzentech.   Which Auzentech do you have?
