Thank you for your response. There's just one point that still remains uncovered on my end: I can't figure out how to actually flip between devices inside the program, without having to save the preset file onto config.txt (from what I understand from your post, this is what I have to do in...

ADUHF, do you know a way to quickly switch between different filter presets ? I'm definitely not familiar with the program enough at this strage, but anyway, it seems like it would only use the settings found in the config.txt file, ignoring any other presets that I create later. I need this...

I personally am using an arrangement like that in my setup, with one PC as a source (YouTube, in your case) and another PC (a 2nd one) as a general audio station, with all sound sources connnected to it via a soundcard. Well, just for what its worth.

Just a thought: a soundcard with both digital inputs and outputs (preferably Toslink ones) would let you gather all streamed audio in your computer, allowing you to control everything through it. Roy

I've been playing around with the Equalizer APO for a while now, and I thought I'd share my 2 cents on what I've had found with regards to the subject of mastering and editing with headphones, thanks to the help I've got from people on this thread, especially ADUHF. I hope I'll manage to put it...

Yeah this might be the case, thanks. FWIW, I was talking about a ground lift on my amp actually (an SPL Phonitor), which I didn't notice at the beginning. Roy

Just here to report I've managed to figure out what the problem was and to fix it quickly. I've come across Rane's Note 110 which decently explains some background about such issues, suggesting to add a "ground lift" to the connection. In other words, what I did was to disconnect the ground on...

ADUHF, thank you for sharing your impressions here. This shows the loudspeaker area is even more complicated than I'd thought ... Although I've figured it'll be best to have a pair (based on the helpful suggestions above), I think I'll still have to read about it some more, be it technical...

Thank you, I was actually wondering what this module was (I couldn't find its name anywhere), until I eventually closed it and haven't noticed what happened. Being quite new to the world of studio gear, I'm not familiar with what every component is meant to do, and your notes about this...

Thank you so much for taking the time in writing all this information and very helpful advice. I'm slowly trying to handle it all and to make my conclusions. Roy

Highly appreciated ! - I've spent some time reading the reviews there, and it has quite changed my mind about the speakers I mentioned above, and probably has also saved me money, thank you for that ! Based on Amir's reviews (which like you said, show he knows what he's talking about well...

Hi, I'm an owner of the original V800 DAC. It's not upgraded or anything. I'm sorry for my being a little ignorant, but I haven't had the chance to catch up with this thread throughout the past few years, and according to some random pages I've read here, I've realized there's a physical...

Thank you very much for all your input. It's helped me a lot ! Edit: Regarding equalization, are you talking about an external analog equalizer, or a PC based one ? Roy

Thank you, ADUHF. You gave me helpful ideas to think about. I've been considering near-field monitors as you advice, and have found that the JBL Control 1 should be a good option, as they (supposedly) have quite a balanced response, and are cheap. Since I'm all new to the area of speakers \...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and info ! The reason I initially focused on those two expensive phones (the LCD-X and the HD800) is that the so called remastering I do, isn't of musical recordings but of private field recordings - lectures, lessons, or old souvenir recordings of this...

Hi all, Firstly, please excuse me if my English isn't as clear as others' - I'm not a native speaker. I've used to read this forum a lot in the past, but it's been a while and I'm really not familiar with today's market. Given I don't have the time to go through the long and interesting...

Hi everyone,   It's working now:   I installed the latest version of Foobar2000, as PurpleAngel suggested.   jcn3:  If you're reading this, please let me know what setting on Foobar2000 you mean.  Is that the resampler that comes with the program (aka PPHS) ? Also, are you talking about...

I've read everything I could find on Google and on this forum, and tried switching all settings back and forth.  Unfortunately, nothing helped.    Whenever I start playing a file on Foobar2000, I get a message telling me "Unsupported stream format: 44100 Hz / 24-bit / 2 channels".   My...

This can either be obvious or hard to predict.   I've changed both the ear pads and the inner foams on my 10 year old K240DF.  I've read that the older inner foam was glued to the ear-cup, so I carefully removed it and all of its residues from the driver's housing (that white cage right...

^^^  I hope my words were not offensive to you by any means ... we're trying to give some help here   No decision should be made based on objective data like graphs (and not majorly on subjective reviews, as well) - definitely, but it's always a good point to start from and get general...

The Known,   I see you're a bit hesitant about your purchase, which is going to be a serious one by all means.  You shouldn't decide too quickly on a $400-500 purchase, especially when it's going to be for music producing.  I'd suggest you to give yourself some time and read up some more...

I know optical cables shouldn't be bent up to 90 degrees.  A 90 degrees adapter should be a simple but very precise angled transformer to achieve perfect signal transmission.  Hence I'm wondering if you can really get one that is built well enough to do the job accurately enough.   I...

Right angled 3.5mm plugs are definitely more convenient than regular ones, when connected to a laptop.  But do they harm signal quality in any way ?     Thanks

What exactly do you need to do in music producing ?   For a headphone that sounds very good with portable players, I'd highly recommend the DT1350.  Portable devices provide good bass response, a little woolly (just a little though) or not tight enough, but pretty rich and close to neutral...

Fried, thanks for your reply.  I would like to have an external headphone amplifier to take charge of the amplification / attenuation process.  Is there a way to make the V800 act as a DAC only without adding or taking gain ?  I don't have a way to measure the output dBu levels that you...
