I posted this in another section, but realized it may be more appropriate here. My current signal pathway is my mobo's (ASRock Taichi x370) optical Toslink output -> mimby -> Lyr 2. I've heard that PC toslink connections can be of questionable quality and they are in general susceptible to...

My current signal pathway is my mobo's (ASRock Taichi x370) optical Toslink output -> mimby -> Lyr 2. I've heard that PC toslink connections can be of questionable quality and they are in general susceptible to jitter. Although my mobo is pretty nice, I really have no way of knowing the quality...

I am currently running my he500's through a schiit modi and a schiit lyr 2, and I love them. However this time of year brings good sales, and I am seeing he400i's for as low as 250$. At that price, would it be worth it to buy them just to have another nice pair of headphones? Are they different...

Is there a better choice than the HRT music streamer II? That's what I'm leaning towards now, any others I should consider?   Also, would spending more money on the DAC help all that much? I have heard the msII is good bang for your buck, but it wouldn't hold back my cans or amp, would they...

Hey everyone, I had a question about amps to go with my 650's. I've had the 650's for a little while now, and I love them. I think they were worth every penny. I've been driving them with the e7/e9 combo, and while I really enjoy the sound, I feel like I'm not letting my 650's live up to their...

For example if I'm listening to music on my pandora, what volume setting shoudl I have the slider at in Pandora, and what should I have my amp at? Should most of the sound increase be coming from the amp or the source?   I have just been putting the slider on pandora in the middle then...

I currently have a pair of (broken at the moment a900's), and m50's. I have a fiio e7 dac/amp. I am looking into buying some new headphones around the 300-400 dollar range, and the description of the hd650's sound characteristics is appealing to me. However, I also hear they require a nice amp...

My a900's recently broke (my fault), but I enjoyed them for many years. Now I'm looking for an upgrade, somewhere in the 300$ range. Right now I have only a fiio e7 DAC/amp to drive them, and I'd rather not spend a ton on a new amp. I could possibly go for a fiio e9 for an amp, since it will...

Hey guys, I've had some audio technica a900's for quite a while now. They finally broke (my fault) and I'm looking for something to replace them. I've heard a lot about the m50's, and they sound like a pretty solid choice for 100$. I'm just wondering if this would be a significant step down from...

I'm looking for some fairly cheap IEMs, mainly used for working out and studying. I'd like something fairly fun with decent bass since they will mostly be used for working out. I used to have a pair of brainwavz m2's, but I think someone stole them, or I just lost them. I have some meelectronics...

I have speakers set up in most rooms of my house in the ceilings. It is all controlled from the basement (i.e. where the music plays, and the reciever is there too). I'd like to be able to play music over the system via wifi. But the thing is, I don't want to have to use a specific program...

I'm looking for some headphones around $50 or so. I'll be using these in the library as well as the gym, so minimum sound leakage and microphonics would be ideal. People seem to be pretty high on the m2's in this price range, is there anything else that I should be considering? I was looking at...

I've had these for a while, and I love them, but I lost one of the pads for the wing system. So now there is just the plastic there and it's really uncomfortable on my head. Is there anywhere to buy replacement ones? Thanks a lot

Hey guys I'm working on some college application stuff and one of the essays wants me to write about who I think will be regarded as a great thinker of the 21st century in 1000 years, and whose thoughts and ideas or work will still be discussed in 1000 years. It can be anyone from politics to...

I just started going out with this girl on friday, I really like her but I made the mistake of asking her out right before christmas so now i have to figure out something to get her So anyway do you guys have any advice? Im in high school without a job so nothing outrageously expensive

I just heard of this band the other day and I really like them. I'm not sure how popular they are, so you guys may/may not have heard of them, but if you haven't you should check them out. They are an instrumental band, but instead of having a million different effects and sounds, they have only...

I'm a senior in high school and our school just this year allowed us to start listening to mp3 players in school. I need something that I can listen to without disturbing other people who are trying to work. Also something that isn't too goofy looking I don't want to spend too much since there...

Hey guys, tomorrow is my dad's birthday and he wants some headphones that will make it so that he can read in his room while my mom is watching tv. There are a couple ways to go about this, one would be noise cancelling headphones for my dad, and another would be to get some wireless headphones...

The song is called Mediterranean Sundance by Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia. I had never heard of it since I'm 17 and it's not the kind of music that most people my age listen to, but I was searching for guitar solos and stumbled across it and it's just an amazing song. It's an acoustic guitar...

Hey guys, I have a rio karma but I'm still using the stock headphones. I listen to it fairly often so I would like something better. I don't really want to spend too much, under 50 dollars if possible but I could possibly go a bit higher if it is really worth it. I would prefer them to not be...

I'm a junior in high school and I'm in french 3, on friday my teacher took us to the computer lab and we did some listening assignments and stuff, and then when we were done we could do extra credit. The extra credit was to listen to this french song and try and write the lyrics, it was a pretty...

Hey guys I'm a junior and im in pre calc right now, I'm doing my homework but this one problem is stumping me for some reason. It's the type of problem where you have been given 2 sides and an angle of a triangle and you have to find the 2 possible triangles that have those 2 sides and the...

Well I was at Circuit City checking out some mp3 players and saw they had the rio karma. I saw the price though, 300 dollars, and figured I would just buy it online. I thought I remembered seeing it online at best buy for only 200, and since circuit city price matches, we checked it out and it...

Which book did you enjoy most? I have to do a huge project on him for english and I need to decide on some books to read. I'm trying to decide which ones. Does anyone have any recommendations? Right now I'm thinking: The Things They Carried Going After Cacciato If I Die In A Combat Zone...

Hey guys I have just recently gotten into the headphone scene, just bought my audiotechnica a900's about a month ago and I love them. Now I'm looking into a portable setup, I have narrowed it down to rio karma or creative nomad zen for the player, but I can't decide on headphones. They should...
