I'm currently using the Monster Beats Studio since August 2011. While I like these headphones, I keep hearing they are not worth their price and that there is an issue with the bass. I can't tell about that, since those Beats were the first "big" pair of headphones.   I heard about...

Hello,   I received my FiiO E10 recently, and so far, I'm really liking it. It's one of the best sources I've heard in my newb audiophile story.   But there's a little issue with it. When I start playing a FLAC or MP3 track in my foobar2000, the beginning is cut a little bit. I miss the...

Just ordered my FiiO E10. Can't wait to try it!   Thanks for your replies, guys.

I've made some research to compare these two devices, and I finally think the E10 would be the better choice. I'm not expecting to use such a thing on my SC+. Also, I heard it's less expensive.

  Quote:   Ok thanks. It was to see how powerful these FiiO's are.   And I apparently didn't see the E10 correctly, I thought the headphones plug was that big. So both have 3.5mm plugs.   Since I'll bring my portable Amp/DAC with my laptop everywhere I go, I think I'll go with...

So now I'm considering either the FiiO E7 or E10.   What are the main differences between the E7 and the E10? I'm especially looking for the bit depth and the frequency. Is the quality of the device proportional to its price in that case?   Also, the E10 seems more appropriate for bigger...

Thanks for the reply.   Yeah, it seems to hard to find a laptop that sounds good by itself.   But my standards are probably low, since I'm looking for something that is at least on-par with the Sandisk Sansa Clip+ in terms of sound quality.   I bet the only way to get that is by...

I may know a lot about computer parts and specifications, but I want to know more about the sound chip in a laptop.   My current laptop is having some issues. One is related to its keyboard, and the other one is related to its sound quality, which I don't like at all. I might look for a...

Yeah I have Firewire. My mobo's an ASUS Rampage III Extreme from 2011.

Well so far I'm keeping the LCD2/D7000 and the Yulong D100 in mind. I'll hope there's nothing better that gets released through the year because I'm waiting until summer/fall.   Quote: I'm not sure if my PC has a firewire port. That's something I'll check when I'll get back home.

Quote:   Because my sound card sucks at sound quality. It sucks enough so I'd rather listen to my USB Logitech G35 gaming headset. It's my motherboard's sound chip.   That's why I was considering another sound card as a source. But I just learned more about DACs. The Maverick Audio...

So yeah, I'd like to plan a high-quality headphones set for next summer or early fall, but I'm new when it comes to this, so I'm looking for suggestions.   I'm looking for headphones, a PC sound card and, if necessary, an amplifier. I'm planning to use them mainly to listen to FLAC...

Another newb question from me.   When outside, I currently use Monster Beats Studio. I know all of the complaints that people write on the net, and what I said is more an admittance than anything else. I use these because these are the only "good" headphones I currently own. At least I...

Thanks for the reply!   I just bought one of these Clip+ due to its low price and I just finished transfering my songs on it. I'll try it without Rockbox at first.   EDIT: My phone sounded good already, but I had to play with PowerAMP's equalizer. I'm currently listening to my Sansa...
