Hi head-fi     Right now I'm using HD650 with a little dot mk3 amp and the little dot dac.    I am trying to get a sound card for my pc because my set-up is stereo and it does not support 5.1 in games.  So is it possible to get a sound card for my pc and use the 5.1 dolby headphone...

Hey guys   I am looking to make my HD650 sound more neutral and more reference[ish] type without going with the HD600/HD800 approach. The reason is I find the HD650 treble perfect to my ears(but i wish it could be a little more warmer) but I want the bass to be toned down a bit because I...

So from what i have read, the pre-amp feature on the little dot mk III can power passive bookshelf speakers? If so, can anyone tell me which wires i would need to buy.  preferably cheap from monoprice or anything under $40

Hi all !   I have been looking to upgrade "not even respectable" logitech Z323 pc speakers to something decent, and i am going to go with Axiom m3 v3 bookshelf, but can anyone tell me if these are self-powered or if they require an amp?   here is the info i have obtrained  ...

I have been looking to replace my Logitech Z523 pc speakers for a while with some real speakers.   I did some research and came up with either   AudioEngine A5 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/533715-REG/Audioengine_A5B_A5_Bookshelf_Speakers_Black_.html#reviews   or Axiom m3...

Can somebody please tell me how to do it?   like if someone writes a long post, and you want to answer each and every one of his posts/paragraphs in chronological order(section by section) instead of writing a long post yourself, how do you do that?   thank you for your help

It's been around 150 hours or so on my Senn HD650's and i absolutely love the way they are sounding right now on my Woo Audio 3 + musiland monitor 02US combo.  I love it so much that i am willing to take them to the next level,   but I kinda do ned to replace my somewhat decent M-Audio AV30...

Some people say that tube amp gives it more weight and body.   and some people say that solid state is better because of the better control/detailness   but what are your thoughts?

can anyone agree with me?   I've done quite a bit of testing on the HD650's @ movie wise, and i just don't think they can handle 5.1 dolby headphone.   The soundstage seems to be way too narrow for it to actually be pulled off.   Granted, dolby headphone does give it that spacious...

which one is better?

Greeting head-fi.   For those single amp owners with quite a few headphones, I was wondering if you could guide some light on whether it's safe to alternate headphones back and fourth (while the amp is still turned on).   Because what i usually do on my woo audio 3, is to turn it off for...

sup head-fi.   I was wondering if you guys know pair of full size cans that are very forgiving. Because i have loads of badly encoded  mp3 files that i just can't listen to on the Senn HD650's or the beyer 880/990's because it reveals every bit of hiss, pops and spikes that is just...

As of last night; June 24, 8:45pm, I am officially a HD650 owner. So please add me to 'Sennheiser HD650 appreciation' thread so we can have some good laughs, discussions and some late night drinks here and there.   I actually bought these used, but the first user was selling his in 'like...

got a new headphone coming(the sennheiser HD650) and i want to make sure it gets the best possible passway signal without breaking the bank.   should i go for these $3 premium Mono Price that most people here say good things about  ...

I'm not too experienced with this area, so i thought I'd get some help.   Say.. if your amp isn't balanced, but you have a dac that has 2 XLR balanced outputs. Can you still have a balanced set-up? Or is having both the amp and the dac with XLR outputs required for going fully balanced?  

I'm looking for a smooth all rounder headphoner that will work with every music category i through at it. I like listening to all songs, but mostly trance, hip hop, pop, rock.   and i would like something smooth, musical and involving without being too bloated in the bass areas. I have read...

I think i may need to do some equalizing on my headphones, but I'm wondering is the foobar built in equalizer any good? Are there any better ones out there that are freeware(or not too pricey) ?   Any reccomendations would be appreciated, thx

 I have had the DT880/600 for 2  months and got the DT990/600 a couple weeks ago, both that i am driving with Musialnd Monitor 02 US(source) and Woo Audio 3(amp)    and all i have to say is that I'm not really found of either one. The DT880 had superb detail retrieval and crisp all-around...

is there any way i can minimize foobar into a normal window (like when you minimize firefox for example). I don't want the icon in the taskbar , i just want it to be minimized as a window for easier opening.

I' have been using simple version of foobar and had no problems, but i decided to try one of the themes they have in devianart. But now whenever i play some songs on mp3 albums i have that have embedded tags, some of them get removed(pic below)            i don't wanna go back to...
