I haven't had any quality in-ears before. I've had some pair of Skullycandy's that I've used sparingly over the past two years, but recently my need for portables has increased. My Skullycandy's finally crapped out on me with no sound coming from the left channel, so I took this as the time to...

  I was sitting in my living room working on an essay on my laptop and I went back to my room to get my charger when I noticed the smell of smoke. I had issues last night with my E9, and one of my USB ports seems to be fried due to a surge. Also,my E9's chassis feels like this when I turn it...

I'm looking to upgrade from my Fiio E7. My budget is $200-$400. I need USB as my laptop doesn't have a better option, and I'd like 24bit as well. I really don't know where to start.   My current chain is USB->E7->Valhalla->DT990 600ohm.   I'd prefer if I could order from somewhere in the...

I currently own a pair of DT990 600ohm headphones with the E7/E9 combo. I've been looking at the Schiit amps for a while, and now with the release of their DAC, I was thinking about getting both from them, but I still don't know whether the Asgard or the Lyr would work better for me. I currently...

Currently have the Fiio combo, looking to upgrade over the summer and I've so far decided I'll be going with a WA3, but I can't seem to figure out what DAC will work well for a reasonable price within my setup.   I'm looking for a DAC that falls in with my DT990's and a WA3 that has USB...

Looking for advice on where to start with a tube amp for my DT990 600Ω. I've tried reading up and I suppose I just can't find exactly what I'm looking for information wise to make the decision on my own, so any help would be appreciated greatly.   Things I've read up on a bit and hope for...

  Ok, I got some HD595's for X-mas, and I've tried and tried to like them, but I just don't find them enjoyable. I still have time on the return and I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a different pair to go to instead. I'm thinking maybe some DT990's as I'm getting the E7+E9 combo soon...

So I've been wondering as of recent, whether a headphone amp or a DAC would be a better first purchase. I can only afford one or the other at the moment, and I've been looking at ending up with the Fiio E7 + E9 combo eventually. I currently have some SR80i's, HD595's, and ATH-A700's. I'm curious...

  Was hoping for some advice.   I currently own some Audio Technica ATH-A700's and I just got some Senn HD595's. I've got a pair of Grados sr80i's on the way because I wasn't sure if I totally enjoyed the Senn's. I'm trying to find great pair of headphones for under $200 USD. My library...

I just got a pair of 595's as a present for the holidays and I was sort of underwhelmed at first. Upon giving them a try for a few hours, they have more detail than my current pair of ATH-A700's, but I still find myself preferring the ATH's sound better. I have a small headphone amp (Fiio e5)...
