    USB cable supposedly improving DAC sound quality? How can I take other posts seriously after that?

    OK, but what are we talking about here? Some messed up timing to the music? Slight pitch shifts? Minor stuttering? Certainty not the improvement to the sound signature and sound stage that I've heard attributed to better digital cables. Once again, I'll repeat my point that to make changes like...

    USB cable supposedly improving DAC sound quality? How can I take other posts seriously after that?

    I was just gonna link you to the best buy page for the AudioQuest Coffee 39.4' HDMI Cable, but they took the page down :(   They had so many hilarious reviews on there I was literally laughing out loud for over an hour reading them. Stuff like "It made unicorns fly out of my TV. Pros: great...

    REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!

    I don't know about that. The review specifically goes on and on about how these are not neutral headphones at all, with heavy bass and higher treble. Doesn't sound like it compares the the HD650s at all... While HD650s may have a bit more bass than the HD600s, I don't think I've ever heard them...

    USB cable supposedly improving DAC sound quality? How can I take other posts seriously after that?

    @00940: Fair enough, I probably am over simplifying things. Though we do seem to somewhat agree here.        Quote:     @leeperry: You are correct, I don't have tons of experience with this, that's why I started a thread asking for opinions. I just posted after reading about...

    USB cable supposedly improving DAC sound quality? How can I take other posts seriously after that?

    That's exactly my point -- it's digital. By definition, it can't make a difference. Just like gold plated connectors on an HDMI cable can't make a TV's picture look better. It's all ones and zeros. Any difference must be placebo. Silver can't make 1001001011100101 sound better than copper  ...

    USB cable supposedly improving DAC sound quality? How can I take other posts seriously after that?

    I was just browsing around the forum, reading various threads and I ran across a post where someone mentioned the huge upgrade in sound that an upgraded USB cable brought their DAC. Then another person chimed in talking about how great the USB upgrade was. They were talking about increased sound...

    [Review] EQu parametric EQ for the iPodtouch/iPhone/iPad

    I can confirm that it does not pause the music when the headphones are removed. (As an iPhone developer) I can tell you that it needs to be specifically coded to do that, so rather than being a bug per se, they may have just forgotten/not known to code that in. There's a call back function that...

    [Review] EQu parametric EQ for the iPodtouch/iPhone/iPad

    WOW! Thank you for posting about this! I just downloaded EQu and the difference between just some simple EQing and flat is huge. I was never too into EQing, but after hearing this I can't go back to flat. Just grabbed Equalizer as well to see which one I like better. The app store is great for...

    An Introduction - Head-Fi TV, Episode 001

    Great "TV" voice and of course, this being head-fi, the sound quality is a step up from most online videos (listening on my HD600s ). Looking forward to these episodes, but my wallet's not too happy.

    Beer Fi

    Since the linked thread is more about good beers and you posted specifically talking about brewing (not to mention that thread is over 80 pages long), I figured I'd post here instead.   I don't brew myself, but my Mom and her boyfriend are starting a brewery out in California called the...

    I kinda regret picking up hd600s

    Heh I have a pair of 600s on the way to me in the mail right now. My first truly good headphones as well. When I first read the topic title, I thought you meant you were unhappy with the sound of the 600s. Glad to hear it was the opposite!   My friend that I'm staying with at the moment just...
