    Yamaha EPH-100

    I'm not completely sure if this will work for all eph 100 with volume issue, but seems like pushing in the driver? seems to fix the low volume problem   I too was disappointed when the left side had problems, mainly with volume being so low that I had to tinker with balance option in my mp3...

    Is wasapi needed when I'm using usb external dac?

    Thanks for the detail reply. I had previously thought that windows down sampled the audio to a inferior quality even though I have my dac set to 24bit 96 khz.    When I was using foobar with WASAPI, I noticed that it automatically went into 'exlusive' mode, blocking out all other windows...

    Is wasapi needed when I'm using usb external dac?

    Quote: Thanks dude. The part that I had a hard time finding answers was whether or not windows altered the music stream before going to the dac. I was under the impression everything was handled by my usb dac, but doing some researched had me doubting and left me without clear answers. I'll...

    Is wasapi needed when I'm using usb external dac?

    I only learned about wasapi last night, and since then I've been doing some trials with winamp and foobar,   and I'm not sure if I'm hearing a difference. I'm using my desktop pc with xfi titanium sound card on windows 8 64 bit, but I use o2/odac combo when I'm listening to music.   So...

    Yamaha EPH100 vs. Rock-It R-50: An Audio Noob's Impression

    I enjoyed reading your review while listening to the different songs you posted.   Just wanted to add, you should try eq'ing the eph-100, it can really bring out the vocals My settings are [-4db @ 100, 200], [0db @ 900, 4000], and finally  [- (6-6.5)db @ 7000]. Basically decreased lows...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Quote: I turned down the volume knob when going to 6.5x to have similar volume levels as when I was listening to it using 2.5x.       Anyways, after some trials using he-400 at 6.5x gain, sound signature just got way too bright, even at lower volumes, making it unbearable to listen...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

          ya I remember reading several replies on that issue, that's why I was only using 2.5x, but to me things are on a completely different level at 6.5.   Do you have the o2/odac combo or do you have them separately? I think  I read somewhere that may be the cause

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    anyone else thinks using 6.5x gain sounds so much better than using 2.5x?     I noticed much sharper sounds, more soundstage, more separtion of instruments, harder bass,   and that's me using eph-100 iem, with 128 kbps radio streaming from winamp shoutcast   Since I had gotten the...

    is it possible to use equalizer with usb dac?

    Instead of using eq settings from winamp, is there a program to have the eq setting all through out ?   I have odac/o2 combo, but there isn't any eq settings under device settings

    Recommend me a sound equalizer for windows?

    I'm using usb dac, but it doesn't come with any softwares.   When I'm using xfi sound card, I can tweak the eq so it affects the whole windows.   I'm using winamp's eq but I need an equalizer software to make the change all throughout windows         Tell me some software for...

    Yamaha EPH-100

    I've had these earphones for little more than half a year, and though I think they are quite nice,   I prefer ath-ck7...   but take what I say with grain of salt because, I think ck7 sounds better than he-400. Or maybe I just love ck7's sound signature.    Compared to eph-100,  ck7...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Quote: Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using an a/c adapter from my router, so the amp is turned on with red light   and from my desktop, I see Odac in volume control area, but no sound~   Help me~~~~   Edit:  A/c adapter from the router is 12v and 1amp. I'm not getting any...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    I have a dumb question, Someone please help me.   I just got the o2/odac, and I'm trying to test it out but I'm not getting any sound.   So far I connected the o2/odac combo to my computer via mini usb, and plugged my headphone jack into the headphone jack in front panel,   but no...
