Just what the title asks. I've seen one blog recommend the Pro-ject Box DAC S FL, which at $300 is about the limit of my budget for a DAC. Was hoping for something in the sub-$200 range though. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Not sure on the rules about products that haven't been released yet (its been awhile since I've posted here), and I'm in no way directly affiliated with this, but I thought you guys might be interested.   Basically its a Bluetooth headset that doubles as a binaural audio recorder. Here's a...

Hey folks. Hoping you all can help, cause I'm not finding any good answers Googling the issue. I'm running the latest foobar2K (non-beta) in Windows 7 x64 SP1. I have an iBasso D10 Cobra portable amp/dac running to a LittleDot mkiii tube amp to Senn HD650s. When I select WASAPI S/PDIF in the...

Okay folks. I'm sort of stuck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, so maybe you can help.   My signature shows my current setup.   Now I'm not sure if this is related to my issue, but recently I reinstalled my Realtek audio drivers because I was having issues trying to get sound...

So... I was wondering if any of you knew of any wrappers/plug-ins for Foobar that would add relatively convincing virtual surround sound to 2 or 2.1 speaker setups that's not hardware dependent? I know there are a number of sound cards that provide virtual surround sound through Dolby Virtual...

Just wanted to let you all know that the geniuses at Hydrogenaudio (specifically user Dibrom) have crafted a Foobar2000/Wine app bundle and installer. Link for the thread containing the download is here. This may be the easiest way of installing Foobar2000 on a Mac to date. Thought you folks...

Completely random thought here while perusing the forum but does anyone else get confused about the gender of a poster who uses a female avatar? The girls in these avatars are either smoking hot or Japanese comic characters. I'm assuming there's probably a couple smoking hot female members of...

Something I've been becoming more aware of while reading this forum is that so many voiced impressions people have about certain cans, amps, sources, etc. are very often based on the listeners music preferences. I've seen some, what seems to me, very contradictory statements about how a certain...

I have a pair of HD650s and an iBasso D10. I'm planning on purchasing a Little Dot MK III tomorrow, and I was wondering if it made any sense to pair up that amp with the D10 using the D10 as the DAC... I haven't found any other threads where I saw those two paired up and was wondering if maybe...

Ok, so I got myself an early birthday present and bought a pair of HD650s from another Head-Fier last week and they were delivered today. First impressions are that they sound like exactly what I was looking for in an upgrade from my Grado SR60s. I wanted to try a sound signature that was...

I always feel sort of self-conscious when I post in this forum because I'm so new to this hobby that I seem to barely know what I'm talking about half the time. Anyhow, I recently "discovered" both Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual Speaker. I love em and can't imagine music and films without...

I can't be the only one who's ever asked for this, but I have a feeling that I may get flamed for doing so Does anyone know where one could acquire pre-configured foobar2000 configurations? I realize that foobar's main selling point lies in it's ability to be compiled any which way the user...

Ok, first of all, I feel really stupid starting a new thread on this because I know there are already dozens of similar threads. Here's my issue. The only quality headphones I own right now are cheap pair of Grados. While I love how they sound (especially seeing as they're my first quality...

Seen quite a few threads that ask the question "what's the best headphones for movies", but never the opposite (maybe there's a reason for that). Anyways, I was thinking of this and was wondering what films blew you away when listening to em through headphones? What got me curious was watching a...

Ok, so I break a pair of fairly cheap gamer headphones recently, and I just got done reading an interesting interview with an audiophile on Lifehacker a couple weeks ago, and am in the mood for something that's got some decent sound as a replacement. I buy the nicest cheap intro phones I can...
