Hi head-fiers,   Recently, I got a Clip Zip and have rockboxed it with the latest official release, and am facing an issue with my Etymotic HF3s. With all sound settings turned off, including replaygain, EQ and crossfeed:   There is a distinctly audible treble roll-off with the...

Generally good sound across the board on the KSC-75s..Yes, the bass is 2-3db higher around 200Hz..rolls off fast in the sub-bass regions and has a slightly grainy treble. 5/5 for the price.

Amazing article , PiccoloNamek . I have nothing to fault or critique in the end result - applied to my Koss UR40 powered by the laptop's Realtek ALC268 Intel HD codec.The first thing that came to my mind after a quick listen was "It's a Noise reduction plugin !" , seriously . A and Bing from...

I heard the difference in 2 tries on my Koss-UR40 and Audigy 1 Value (modded).

Koss Pro 4AAT . Tight,tight low bass and pretty neutral sounding across the spectrum.

Yeah,the opamps up the voltage of the audio signal to somewhere near the standard,2 Vrms.

caps burn in ?

do your research,i ain't handing out free food.

And yeah,those caps Creative left out are mentioned in the DAC datasheet.

Oh yes,i have done the capacitor mods and the opamp ones on my Audigy SE which has a similar analog output stage as that of the X-Fi. It's just that the capacitor values and the kind of caps you guys are using are unnecessary;I'm sure no one in this thread has looked through the datasheets of...

Ahh,yes...now the disaster stories are coming in..I was wondering they would.the next time,try practicing on dead cards from your local pc hardware store. And the variety of capacitor mods you guys keep coming up with is ridiculous...oh,i forgot that head-fiers are better than the multiple...

PX100. KSCs are brittle,boomy and with a complete lack of midrange magic.
