I had tried those things before, but I did them again and for whatever reason it's working now! Thanks a bunch

Hello there, I still can't figure out what to do. One thing that was a solution to many people with my problem was to go to to Sound > Speaker Properties > Advanced and check off both boxes, since they hadn't been earlier, but it's still not working for me. I've also tried running WASAPI off of...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to use WASAPI on a laptop using Winamp and a TubeMagic D1 connected via USB but nothing will play at all. When using the preinstalled DirectSound or WaveOut dlls everything works fine. I've tried changing the buffer size and using exclusive mode but neither changes...

How intensely did you EQ? Did you use a band EQ or a parametric one?

I don't really want to buy new K701 replacement parts because then I'll just feel stupid having used $XX and having the same thing I started out with. Could I just get an HD600 enclosure or something of the like and just like, glue the K701 drivers in or something? As far as the housing material...

So basically, I severed the two metal arches at their bases that hold the headphones together. Please don't ask why, that is in the past now. Anyway, I gorilla glued the arches back on to the remaining stubs and it seems to be working decently, but the clamping force is much too weak and I was...

I used to own a pair of Smokin' Buds and they were not bad at all. The sound was pretty good, bass was a little overwhelming and the highs were rolled off, but definitely a few steps above iBuds. After going on here and reading about all these people bashing Skullcandy I bought a pair of...

Nevermind. Got it working. Not sure how to delete a post so.. sorry

Hi, trying to use ASIO4ALL with Winamp. I downloaded ASIO4ALL then moved the DLL to Program Files (x86)>Winamp>Plugins but ASIO4ALL is not showing up in the Output plug-ins. I've tried putting the DLL in just the Program Files (x86)>Winamp but still no good. I'm using the 64-bit version of...

+2 on K702 with the Maverick D1   Just be sure to change the opamps (a common setup is LT1364 for the DAC and LM4562 for the amp) otherwise it will sound (too) bright.

the epitome of the two words "worth it".

Yeah, it doesn't really matter how you hang it. Actually no, it doesn't matter at all. The hanger looks nice 

Sorry, what exactly is asio? My DAC is a Tube Magic D1. Also, which plugins do you recommend?

Yes, it is slightly frustrating once you realize it . I'm still wondering, does anyone know of any software/hardware that can change the channel balance?

Well actually, I was inquiring more about headphones, rather than IEMs. The difference in ear canal is slightly annoying for the fit, but the sound is pretty much equal for left and right; unlike when I'm using headphones, in which the right channel is louder than the left due to the difference...

Er actually, I'm not sure the Windows method worked... I was listening to some classical to test it and I thought it was working. However, I just played a sine wave to verify it (I assume the output is equal for both channels) and the right still seems louder. I then set the right channel to 0...

I do have an outboard DAC, but the Windows solution seems to be working. This was surprisingly easier than I expected. Thanks.

Wasn't exactly sure which forum to put this in. Anyway, after receiving my Etymotic MC5 and trying them on I came to the startling realization than my right ear canal is a good deal larger than my left ear canal. The fit was much tighter on my left ear than the right. It was also at this time...

Yes, the output for all programs is at 100% (disabled volume control in Winamp since I would accidentally lower it sometimes).

Wait so, the main thing I still don't understand is how there is less hiss on the Macbook and zero hiss on the Fuze... a problem with the DAC could cause that? I always assumed it was something with the power since the Fuze and Macbook are more or less portable and my computer has a big ol' PSU...

Quote:   Yes, I'm actually using one right now, the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro. The pathway goes like computer>Turtle Beach>optical out>D1. I tried using both USB and optical, but noticed no difference in hiss/sound quality between the two. Since I had already bought the Turtle...

So you're telling me something like this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062214 will get rid of all hiss with no degradation in sound quality? Also, suppose removing one USB device did reduce the hiss... is there a problem with that device and I should buy a new one? Like...

Thank you for the article, it has a lot of helpful information. As for your question, the hiss has been there ever since I bought the unit. Only recently did I try the device with my Fuze/friend's Macbook, which was when I noticed the reduction in hiss compared with my home computer. When I...

Could you explain the principle behind a ground loop? I've looked it up before but I'm still a little foggy on what exactly it is and how to fix it. Also, I have tried it through different USB ports on my computer but I think that it's just that all of them aren't very good. If I upgraded to a...
