    Iriver vs. Iaudio

    I can't decide between these three players: Iriver Clix 2 8Gb Iaudio D2 8GB Iaudio 7 8GB I've heard good things about all of them, but there seems to be no general consensus as to which edges out the competition. The Clix 2 looks great, but if I'm not mistaken the battery life is less than...

    Are there any gaming soundcards with balanced XLR or TRS inputs?

    Simply, as the title states. I need a card that can run games well but that I'd also be able to plug in my headphones and studio monitors. Can anyone help offer a suggestion? I can't just run two cards, as I still wouldn't be able to plug my monitors into the regular gaming one.

    Annoying Buzzing Sound with Headphones

    I'm getting a weird buzzing sound in my headphones as of late. I use my computer (AV710) to a PAV2 and then either A900s or Senns 280 pros and it happens in both of the cans. It is a buzzing sound like a morse code or feedback might sound, sort of like "bzzzzzzz bzzzzzbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

    A900s really lacking in bass?

    I just did a side by side comparison of my new HD 280s and some A900s I've had for over a year (they were my first headphones). I noticed that while the A900s are more neutral and clear sounding, they lack a lot of bass when compared to the HD 280s. Is this normal, I thought the consensus around...

    Need an amp

    I currently have AT A900s and Sennhesiser 280pros and I plan on getting something like Beyer DT 770s in the future. I want an amp to power these headphones, as I don't think the output on my Chaintech card is enough right now. I don't need anything portable, so being able to use an AC adapter...

    M-Audio Audio Interface?

    I plan on getting an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile to get into some production work. I have two questions regarding its use: 1. Would it give me adequate sound quality for when I'm not doing production stuff. Like say I want to plug in my speakers/headphones for general listening, would that be...

    HD280 Burn-in

    I'm burning in my new HD 280 headphones as I've read from recommendations. I'm already in about 24 hours, but I'm wondering is it ok if I burn them in with the ear pads closed together or should I turn them and open them up. Reason I'm doing closed now is because I live in a dorm and it would be...

    Portable Phones for my Zen Touch

    I just got a Creative Zen Touch mp3 player and the supplied earphones suck as expected. So I'm looking to buy something to use on a regular basis when I'm out and about. I listen to mostly hip-hop and electronic music, but my music is still pretty varied, so I especially would like something...

    Zen Touch 20gb or Xtra 40gb.. at the same price?

    Compuplus has the 20gb Touch and 40gb Xtra for about the same price, $215. I've narrowed my mp3 player selection between those two, but I can't decide if it's worth it to sacrifice 40gb in return for the Touch's features. I've heard the sound quality is the same on both, is that correct. So...

    Best way to setup the Audigy 2 for music?

    I'm using the Audigy 2 ZS since I play games a lot, but I also listen to music every now and then. I was wondering with all the options in foobar and in the software that comes with the card, what would be the best configuration when you're listening to music with it? Do any of you fumble with...

    How exactly do I burn-in my new A900s?

    Well, I just got them and I'm wondering how the best to proceed would be. I read the FAQ, but that isnt really clear. How long should I burn these and with what material? Can I just play normal music? Also, since they are hooked up to my HT receiver, is that considered they are amped?

    Headphone advice for a newbie

    I've never had any headphones, but I need some for this coming year at college. My budget is about $250 and I will be using it with my Powerbook and HT receiver and airport express. I don't plan on getting a dedicated amp. What would be the best headphones for this price? What about at the...

    Another USB Soundcard Thread

    This one is for a mac, however. The popular opinion around here seems to be that the M-Audio Transit would be the best choice, but I heard there were (maybe still are) with OS X. Does anyone have any experience to confirm/deny this? I'm running the latest version of OS X by the way, 10.3.4...

    Annoying Volume Problem with AV710

    The volume level on my system keeps fluctuating, at one point -20db on my receiver is pretty loud then -20db is soft and not loud enough so I have to turn it to about -5db or so. Also, In the Via Audio Deck, I can't control the volume with the Master Volume Slider. Simply nothing happens when I...

    Problem with AV710 Digital Out

    I bought this thing: http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...t%5Fid=15-1228 so I could hook up my receiver to my AV710 as it uses a coaxial input and the sound card has an optical output. I plugged everything in, including the power cord, switched on digital out in the card options and tried...

    AV710 Digital Out- Where is it?

    This is a complete newbie question as I just got my card and I can't see anywhere in the manual diagram where the digital out is. On my old Audigy 2 there was something labeled "Digtal Out" where I put a digital cable with a 1/8" RCA mono adapater. Now, there's nothing like that. I have mic in...

    Powerbook Soundcard- once and for all

    I need an external soundcard for my G4 Powerbook to hookup my receiver with speakers to. My price range is about $100 and I'll be using it mainly for music. From what I've researched, I have it down between the M-Audio Transit http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do...9745b38a55cdfcb ; Sonica...

    Apple music player programs and lossless encoder

    A few questions: 1. Are there any versatile programs, itunes aside, for playing a variety of formats on OS X? ie foobar in windows. I want to be able to play the Monkey audio format or whatever lossless encoder I decide to use when ripping my cds. 2. What is the difference between all the...

    Chaintech AV710 > Audigy 2 Plat?

    I'm currently running an Audigy 2 Platinum (with kx drivers) going to a Yamaha AV receiver via digital cable and then to the speakers. Considering I won't be able to get the EMU I wanted due to financial concerns, would a Chaintech AV710 be better than my current sound card for music at least...

    Quick Soundcard Question

    I'm looking for a the best soundcard for playing music from my computer with a budget under $200. I recently purchased a brand new sound system (sorry, I know this is a headphone forum, but I guess soundcards are soundcards) and I want to get something better than this Audigy 2. As I said, I...
