    Distortion with Mad Dogs

    Sorry for the late reply, I've had an incredibly busy past couple of days.   Mshenay- I normally just use iTunes, although I recently installed foobar2000. I have the Modi set at 24bit 96hz like you said, with all enhancements disabled. In the "Realtek Audio Manager" the default setting was...

    Distortion with Mad Dogs

    Hey guys, I've noticed that while listening to my Mad Dogs through my Magni/Modi I'm getting some distortion when I turn up the volume. I have a pair of Grado 325is that always sound crystal clear, so I'm thinking it isn't the amp, but I could be wrong. Has anyone heard of a similar problem, or...

    Etymotic HF5 Warranty Question

    Thanks for the quick replies guys.   Goodvibes- With the distortion I'm getting it makes them almost impossible to listen to unless I turn my volume down really low. How could I be happy?   alpha421- I was hoping to hear something along the lines of what you said. I'll call them when I get...

    Questions about the new Alpha Dog

    I'll start out by saying I'm really excited for the Alpha Dogs, I feel like Dan developed them with me in mind from what I've heard about their sound. I have a few questions though:   Currently on the website there are two versions available for preorder, the 4-Pin balanced XLR and the regular...

    Etymotic HF5 Warranty Question

    Hey guys, I have a problem. I accidentally left my HF5s at my girlfriend's house and her cat decided to chew on them. Here's what they look like now: Both the left and the right bud look about the same, except the right one doesn't have bite marks where the wire actually connects to the...

    Great Amp + Dac for Mad Dogs around $300?

    I got a pair of Mad Dogs not too long ago and I've been listening to them through a nuforce uDac2 but I'm afraid it's not powerful enough to drive them well. Any good Amp / Dac combos out there for the Mad Dogs around $300 (preferably less, but i don't want to get anything I'll regret down the...

    Replacement for Grado SR325is?

    The thing is, I really like open headphones, but they are an inconvenience to me because I'm not able to get very much quiet time to fully enjoy them. For example, I was on a bus today and I could hear some kid listening to his music with his iPhone earbuds at the same time I was l listening to...

    Replacement for Grado SR325is?

    From what I've read about the Mad Dogs, they are excellent headphones for their price (almost too good to be true). Would you be able to put your two-cents in on those? I'm just finding it hard to compare all these different headphones, because most, it not all of them have stellar reviews. The...

    Replacement for Grado SR325is?

    I've had my sr325is for a few months now (my first real pair of headphones) and I was very impressed from the moment I put them on, and even now while I'm typing. The quality and clarity is a large step-up from all of the other $30 in-ears and a pair or sr60i's I'd had previously, but the...
