My DacMagic Plus no longer outputs sound after the Windows 10 Threshold 2 update. I have tried both USB 1.0 and 2.0 modes on the unit, as well as both firmware versions of the USB driver. I never updated my unit to the latest firmware, so perhaps that is why---can anyone with the latest firmware...

Long story short, my new smartphone case doesn't allow me to fully plug my Sennheiser 3.5 mm cable into its audio jack. I don't want to make the connection between the headphones and smartphone any longer than it already is, so I'm looking for an adapter without any additional cabling. Has...

Is there such a thing, and does anyone have any recommendations? Googling shows me a couple of products, but none of them seem to be cans.

I know there's a lot of factors involved, but in general, is it better to have hardware do all the upsampling, or should you set your software player to upsample and output at the native resolution of your dac?   I have a DacMagic Plus and have been toying around with outputting at...

Is it better to have Foobar output in 16-bit or 24-bit? I figure there should be no real benefit to setting it to 24-bit, as all of my FLAC files are 16-bit. But I thought I read somewhere that the output should be set to the native bit-depth of your soundcard, and I think the Audiophile 192 is...

For those who have the HD 598, do you remember how adhesive the clear security tape at the bottom of the box was?   Mine came off easily (looking as if it was already peeling off before I touched it), and I'm wondering whether the packaging has been opened before.

My HD 650s have practically been sitting in a corner for years because I keep getting dissuaded from the amount of amp choices out there. It's actually gone so far that I ordered a pair of inferior HD 598, as I assumed the impedence would allow me to run it just fine with no amp.   A few...

Has there been a list compiled of the more popular DAC choices that include Wolfson DACs?   I believe the Little Dot and NFB-12 uses Wolfson chips, but what else?

Apologies in advance, as I am sure this topic has been visited countless times.   What is the process for adding XLR connections to HD 650s?

Currently I have an Audiophile 192 paired with ADAM A3X monitors.   Soundcard-wise, can I do better? (What has a better DAC than the 192?)

Just received my brand new pair of HD-650s (paid $320). This is my first pair of real headphones. I quickly moved my H/K AVR635 by my PC for use as a temporary DAC/amp, set to Dolby Headphone: BP. Honestly, I wasn't impressed at first. I think my mind was expecting the 3D-ish bass that you get...

I've been mostly a home theater audio guy, but I'm delving into the headphone scene (ordered a pair of HD-650s last night). I've already gone ahead and done some research on what amps to get, and the Darkvoice series look good. However, my setup (PC, Audiophile 192) would probably benefit...

Hi, folks. I just ordered a pair of HD-650s, but I'm not sure how I'll be connecting it to my Audiophile 192. I think I need a female to dual male TRS cable, but they don't seem to exist?
