I am interested to hear how the Lyr compares to the Asgard and Valhalla for headphones like the HD600/650/Grado's.   If it sounds just as good with these phones as Asgard and Valhalla do, then the Lyr is a better buy because of it's versatility.

I have heard good things about the NuForce uDac - you might want to look into that...

I honestly think the entire ABX scene is a total joke.  You can't listen to a system, wait 5 min, listen to another, and then tell which one sounded better unless you KNOW the equipment by heart.  I have amplifiers that at home I can tell apart.  Barely though, and only because I have listened...

Quote: Yes that is the idea, but when you are comparing eq to no eq then you are lowering your preamp far too much.  Once you have decided on a setting then yes you should set your preamp to -5.2.  But you will notice that when cutting 5.2 off your preamp that the general sound is quieter...

Quote: Yeah.  If you have any kind of decent headphones you should definitely be looking for the right amp.  Do be aware that as soon as you buy a new amp you will want to buy more and more and more gear.  It is very easy to go online and read 20 reviews about how great some product is...

Quote: Well part of it is your ears frequency response as well as your phones.  Below 200hz-ish your actual hearing starts to roll off drastically.  At that frequency you start to feel the music.  Try 400 or 500hz.  This should sound much more natural and you will get a better boost.  In...

Quote:   There is no such thing as too many questions.   Volume.   I used to use a sound blaster card for a long time.  Here is the deal.  Keep winamp at 100% because it is managing a digital signal that can only be reduced not amplified, and find the best setting for the sound...

Thanks a lot.  Seriously.  That works PERFECTLY.

Quote: That is EXACTLY what I need.  And how did you get that color scheme?

I really like foobar because of how lightweight and flexible it is.  I am constantly opening and closing audio files when I am working on a production and the startup time is a huge bonus with foobar.  Not to mention it gives me folder path, automatically scans folders, and gives me all of the...

Also, if anyone is still listening....I use foobar but I keep multiple music libraries of my own and other's organized in different folders.  Is there any way for foobar to separate these files using a tabbed system instead of just listing all the albums from every folder.  I keep these...

Wow, nevermind.  You apparently CAN'T tag wav's.  Great.  So as soon as I move my files they will lose their tags.  Looks like FLAC it is then.
