Hello everyone. I'm familiar with Foobar2000 and I have been curious about replaygain. The question I have is, how do I apply replaygain to all my tracks so that I don't have to fiddle with the volume knob with every track? I don't understand the difference between applying by individual tracks...

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I was wondering how I might go about connecting the Fiio E10 in such a way so that it acts as a dedicated dac for my old Kenwood integrated amp. I assume it would be Computer==>DAC==>Amp, but I'm not completely sure what outputs or...

Hello everyone. I recently purchased some dt880 600 ohms to use as my permanent home music headphone. I think they sound great and have a sound signature that I could easily live with for the music that I listen to which is mostly classical and older rock. However, the problem I have with them...

Hey guys, I have an old Kenwood KA-88 stereo amp that I want to connect directly to the soundcard on my PC (stock soundcard as of now). Unfortunately, I am completely ignorant of what connections to use and the cables required as this is my first full-size amp ever and I mean that literally.  ...

Hello all. I've recently obtained some dt880 600 ohms and will be building a bottlehead crack amp to go along with it. I run my music from my several computers from a hard drive that I always take with me. I need a dedicated usb dac because I do not want to have to use these phones off of my...

Hello all. What are my best options for amp and dac for said price range for my Beyer DT880 600 ohms? I will be using them out of my computer. (No soundcards please.) As long as it is transportable (smaller than a stereo receiver) it will be fine. I'm looking for something that is bang for your...

Hi all, I have a vintage Kenwood K-88 integrated amp with what I believe to be 100 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms) and I have a pair of Beyer DT880 600 ohms coming my way. I will be playing my music from my desktop and laptop computers and I most definitely need to buy a DAC to use with...

Hello all. I am going to purchase the Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohms and power it with a vintage Kenwood integrated amp, possibly (hopefully) investing in a tube amp later. The source will be coming from my desktop computer which only has a terrible stock sound card. For this reason, I want to get...

Hello everyone. I've researched for months and have had several changes of heart, but I ultimately have decided that I will purchase the Beyerdynamic DT880s and use them as my main stationary listening phones to complement my hd595s. The dilemma I face is knowing which version to buy, and I have...

Hi everyone, I have taken up the Sony Q68 clipons as my cheap exercise and portable headphones of choice. I appreciate the more cool analytical nature of these phones but I want to balance out the overly pronounced upper mids along with the recessed bass to create a neutral sound. They are...

Hi guys, I have a ton of albums and music that consists of one .flac or .ape file accompanied by the corresponding .cue file. (More than 50 GB actually .) Now I want to split these files into separate tracks with a cue splitter because I want to be able to use them for portable use. Many people...

Hi, I have very recently managed to find an older Kenwood K-88 integrated stereo amp in my possession. This is my first dedicated amp (portable or full-sized) I have ever owned in my life so I wanted to ask a few question.   1. Will I be able to use it in conjunction with my main desktop...

Hi, I find myself in the situation where my grandparents are giving away two different stereo amplifiers and are allowing me to keep one. Now I am a complete newb to amplifiers, especially full-size ones. What I want to know is if they are any good and which is the superior amplifier. The two...

Hi, I have decided that I may move on to my second pair of open headphones after my happiness with my Senn 595s. I was truly looking for a headphone that could reproduce piano and other acoustic instruments very faithfully along with having an ideal soundstage for classical music. I stumbled...

Hello, I have finally decided to commit to ordering the fiio E7. This is my first venture into the world of amplification and DACs (at least dedicated) and I have two quick questions to ask to help make the transition smoother.   1. I have a Cowon i7 and a Sansa Clip+ as my main portable...

Hey, I wanted to ask what my options are for improving audio on my desktop and netbook are. When I'm not listening to portables like my iaudio 7 or sansa clip+ I'm always listening on my desktop or netbook (with expansion port) but they both have terrible stock sound cards. I have Shure SE530s...

Hi everyone, I was wondering whether anyone could clarify if the double or triple driver version of the 1964 ears would perform better for classical music, specifically piano and orchestra. I would rather not pay extra, but if the triples had a considerable advantage over the doubles, I would...

*TL;DR Version at Bottom*   I was looking around the market and was very surprised by how many makers of custom IEMs there are at the present time. I have been looking to replace my faithful Shure SE530s but wanted something with a better fit and isolation that could still be considered...

Hi, this is my first time posting although I have been lurking for a little bit. I am a studying musician (classical piano) that would like to finally invest in a pair of headphones that are around the $100 to $120 price range. I already have some high-end Shure earphones but I'm looking for...
