    The AKG Q701's

    I have a few questions about these cans. I've owned them for a few years now. I bought them when my HD650's were nicked. At the time, I had thought they were some of the best that AKG had to offer, but after looking at their current lineup, I have a hard time believing that. Is that true? That...

    Looking for a DAC with balanced line-outs

    Hi, I picked up a pair of Adam F7's (speakers) on Boxing Day, and though my ODAC is pretty awesome, I'd like to find a DAC with balanced line outs. Alternatively, how much trouble would it be to add balanced outs to an ODAC? I have both XLR and 1/4 TRS balanced connections (also have RCA...

    Voodoo Sound still necessary with dedicated amp?

    I have a Galaxy S i9000, but it isn't rooted. I'm wondering if Voodoo sound makes a difference if I were to max the volume on the phone and connect it to an amp?

    Is my rig complete? I'm a simple music lover.

    I currently have Sennheiser HD650's and HD25-1 II Adidas. My sources are either an ODAC+O2 or a FiiO e7. I also have a Galaxy S1 and 32GB iPod Touch 3G as portable sources. I can't seem to justify buying anything else, as anything else is either ridiculously expensive or inferior.

    How to eliminate clipping on very HDR tracks?

    So, I was showing my mom and grandmother my headphones and amp (HD650 and O2), playing from a Titanium HD. I have AISO and WASAPI setup in foobar2k. I tried both, but it still clipped on the extreme end of the dynamic range. I played flac rips of their Il Divo Christmas CD. Wat do? PS The CD's...

    Does this headphone exist?

    HD25-1 II / HD650 Hybrid. Sorry if this has already been asked - I'm on incredibly slow internet and don't have the patience to search the forum. Anyway, what I'm looking for is essentially a HD25-1 II / HD650 hybrid. I love both headphones (I have them both), but neither of them offer what...

    Anything that shares HD 558's cable?

    What I'd like are a pair of headphones that share the same cable as the HD 558's, but come with a small 3.5mm plug instead. Aside from the 598's, that is. I'd like something a little more high-end, but not stupidly similar to what I already have (HD 598's) and I'd still like to use my 558's...

    Will I like the AKG K142HD's?

    I'm not one to buy super expensive cans - I have modded Sennheiser HD428's, Klipsch Image S4's and the terrible Corsair HS1A's. However, I do like decent sound quality. I love my HD428's, but I wanted to try something new. I ordered the AKG K142's on sale for $99CAD. I already have a decent...

    Extreme EQing to compensate for headphones weak points?

    I'm wondering whether its a silly idea or whether it has any merit. Lets say I take the =563&graphID[1]=&graphID[2]=&graphID[3]=&graphType=0&buttonSelection=Compare+Headphones"]graph from headphone.com, for my HD555's, and adjust the EQ in foobar to add and remove the appropriate dB at as many...

    Trivium's Shattering The Skie's Above lacks soundstage?

    I love the musical idea behind this song, however the sound the song has is entirely too boring - The vocal tracks don't even have midrange, which is odd considering its the voices domain. At first I thought it was just the YouTube video that had the sound, then I got a proper copy of the song...

    HD428 DOA = Recable

    I ordered Sennheiser's HD428's on Black Friday, to use as winter ear muff's. I just got them (I'm in a very remote community in Northern Canada) and they were DOA - only the right side works. Sure, sending them back is an option.. if I want to see another set in 3 weeks + ~$50 shipping (They...

    Get the most from my 3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB?

    I've got all the tracks that matter converted from FLAC to ALAC, but I can't help but think there might be more I can do?

    Considering a HD428 rewire

    Hi, and welcome to my first of what I'm hoping will be many posts/threads.   I have a set of Sennheiser HD428's and I'm considering rewiring them. Unfortunately, considering my location, I can't go out and buy any cables (not good ones anyway). So I searched around the house, knowing I could...
