Looking for a great book about general audio theory
Hi. I've been interested in the Hi-Fi world for some time now, but it seems there is still a lot I don't understand. I'd like to get your recommendations on a book(s) for a beginner that covers subjects like basic sound theory, frequently used terms, digital audio, analog audio, basic science...- kulakovs

How to safely store fb2k song ratings?
Hi, I have been using Foobar2000 for a while, and time ago it crashed (corrupted configuration file) for the 2nd time in 6 months. The problem is I also lost few hundred song ratings.

Looking for some 'starter' audiophile headphones
Well if you're considering HD598 you might as well consider HD558. It's basically the cheap version of 598. They don't look so good, but with foam removal mod they sound almost exactly like 598.- kulakovs

Astrotec AM-90 weird specs and sound
So just received my new AM-90's. Yesterday actually, gave them about ~10 hours of burning in. I'm a bit worried about specification. They are supposed to be using armature driver but the driver type on the package is marked as dynamic. PICTURE And what about the odd frequency response...- kulakovs

Headphone + DAC combo under 300$
Since I can only order from EU shops (to avoid tax) from your list I can only afford HD598 + E10 combo. It's unfortunate there aren't any shops near me where I could actually hear how they sound. I want a HUGE improvement from my current HARX700 (have heard they come close to A700) otherwise...- kulakovs

Headphone + DAC combo under 300$
After a lot of research I've decided to go with ATH M50. According to "wiki" section these should sound good without amp. The question is will there be a lot of difference if I connect them to E10 or directly to my soundcard? 62£ seem quite a lot for me if the difference is minimal.- kulakovs

Headphone + DAC combo under 300$
The ULTRASONE ones are too expensive. I've also considered studio monitors like DT770 (80ohm) or ath-m50. I mostly listen to vocal music, all kinds of rock music and sometimes something house like.- kulakovs
