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...- despine

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...- despine

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...- despine

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...- despine

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...- despine

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...- despine

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- despine

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...- despine

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- despine

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...- despine
