Ok thanks guys.   One thing I'm wondering - at what point (using the volume dial with the preamp out) will the preamp out start to be 'hotter' than the DAC out? Or is it something like 1% of the total output?

Hi,   The situation-   I use Foobar2000, run via USB into a Audio-GD Compass.   I plan to add a Blue Sky 2.1 active monitoring speaker system.   Two Q's -   1. The Compass' DAC output is RCA. Will RCA - XLR cables connected to the monitors work ok? 2. There is no universal...

Fostex T50RPs looking good so far....

Hi guys, so my PRO900s just died... (see other thread)   Got some KSC75s for now, but looking to get some main cans soon as I won't be able to use any speakers in my new living space.   Using - foobar2000 to an Audio-gd Compass (using built in amp). Listen mainly to electronic music...

So, as above!   Right PRO900 driver has died (definitely the driver, not the cables etc).   It would be a shame to let the gorgeous casing go to waste, but I was never THAT impressed with the pro900s to be honest. Required too much EQ to bring the resonance down (for my taste). I have no...

Quote: Definitely would work. I'd leave the bass alone, since with those cans that's probably the coloring you like. Just tweak the 1KHz+ range

Quote: It's more complicated than that...    

Quote:   Yeah, some people seem fine with the brightness, but the sibilance really gets to me. PM me if you want the .fxb EQ preset for the pro900s.   Quote: haha great. Any improvement? :D  

Quote: How so? Just double-click the point, choose the freq, gain, and width.

Latest attempt at taming the PRO900's highs....

Check this out-   PRO 900s with a flat-ish high end!     I know what you're thinking... no high-end, no fun? I say, no sibilance, LOTS MORE FUN!   I've largely left the lively bass alone, but the highs are now silky smooth...lovely.
