    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    Thank you very much for the quick answer. I just ordered the HiFi Pro, so we'll see what it's like when it gets here.

    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    So, as someone who bought the Hidisz Sonata S3 to use with my OnePlus 8 Pro, the sound quality definitely was great... but I was not happy that Android 10 likely automatically assigned microphone duties to the USB DAC, even though the headphones had no in-line mic. Luckily enough, I can offload...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

      From what I know in general, Mullards will work really well with the PM-3s due to the bass emphasis of their inherent sound signature and the warmness of tubes helping the treble and mids.  However, as someone wanting to get a tube amp for these at some point, do OTL amps have issues with...

    Best sub-$300 Tube Amp

    Hello,   So I figured that with getting new headphones, it's time that I upgrade the amp on my computer, and I feel that a tube amp would work really well with my new headphones, the Oppo PM-3.  Now, the thing is that right now, I have my speakers going into a Topping TP-22 which is connected...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    Well, I got my PM-3s today, too, so I'm gonna run through continuous pink noise burn in until Monday morning.  I will have to say, though, the the fit was immaculate once you got the right adjustment, and I have V-MODAs for comparison, which almost everyone says fits like a glove.  I also liked...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    Yeah, cymbals are not fun when you deal with sharp treble, which I feel is the Grado sound.  But yeah, between the metal I do know, I feel that Holy Wars (The Punishment Due) is a really good track for testing out headphones for me.  Thoughts on that?

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    So my PM-3s are coming in tomorrow, and right now, I'm in the middle of a quandary here.  If I do settle on these as my new daily, I have about $150 to get myself an amp.  The thing is, though, whether I should get a portable amp or a desktop amp, and after that, which one.  To compare, my...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    ...Ah, hell with it.  I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and have it shipped from Amazon.  "Who Dares, Wins" right?

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    OK, so I'm about to commit on taking the plunge on these (nice upgrade from my Crossfade LPs) and before I do, I want to ask three things;   1) How do these sound bare on the iPod Classic (the last one with the Cirrus Logic CS42L55) without EQ?  Will software-based EQ make an improvement on...

    Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.

    Hello.   I'm trying to reinstall the new bootloader onto my iPod using the utility, and when I set DFU mode, I get '[ERR] Could not set USB configuration: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND'.  Do you have any idea why I could be getting this error?  For reference, the log is as follows;

    「Official」Asian Anime, Manga, and Music Lounge

      Nope.  It's mentioned pretty explicitly in the second episode of Full Metal Panic Fumoffu.  Then again, considering how old Fumoffu is...

    PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)

    Not Office 2016?  Is this a cost issue or is there something else?   Nice budget builds, too, but make sure the PSUs are decent, since not going with something OEM'd by Seasonic or Super Flower can bite you in the ass sometimes.  Also, are those 6100s OCable since there's no base clock...

    PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)

      Do you have a source of any kind that provides a measurement of the RAM clearance of your case/cooler?

    PC Enthusiast-Fi (PC Gaming/Hardware/Software/Overclocking)

      I'm not sure I agree, because the G-Skill Trident Z line is pretty subtle, plus metallic heatsinks look awesome.

    Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.

    Is this an issue with just Apple devices, or do all Rockbox devices hiccup in Windows?
