What do you mean by PCM signal?   Quote:  

In the Xbox audio settings I have it set to Digital Stereo, but I was thinking the same thing that it was kicking it back to DTS or whatever when a DVD starts, guess there isn't really anything I can do about it eh? Quote:  

So I decided to watch a DVD today in my room, and the only DVD player I have is my xbox. Its hooked up to my NFB-12 via an optical toslink cable which has worked fine for months playing games or streaming music / movies. But as soon as the DVD is loaded up and hits the menu the audio changes to...

Yeah I live in Canada so its a bit harder to get some audio stuff here to -probably not as hard as Turkey though- so I know what you mean. Do you need/want the portability of it? If you don't need something with a battery the Fiio e10 is apparently an excellent starter amp (also has a dac to)...

If you are playing music from your computer than I don't think the E11 is what you are looking for, it is more used for portable situations. The biggest problem would be that when you are charging the e11 you cant be listing to it. Something like the e7 or the upcoming e17 would be better...

Being an owner I might be biased but something about the 650s just makes me smile. Also agree not a big fan about the way beats look.   Quote:    

Wow thats pretty cool that they are doing that, even though they probably charge full MSRP it would be awesome to try on HD800s 

Some ridiculously good photographers in this thread! Just spent like an hour going through them, some awesome stuff :)

I think they look amazing, and will definitely consider them as my next headphone upgrade! Cant wait to read more impressions of them.

Should be able to pick up an Audio GD NFB-12 used for around that price, I have one and love it, all though I don't have much to compare it to. Do some research on it and see what you think.

I'm thinking about starting to upgrade my DAC and AMP soon to two different components. The Schiit line interests me a lot, but would probably doing one component at a time not both at the same time.   What would make sense to get first, the DAC (thinking Bifrost) or the amp (Valhalla)? Is...

I am no amp expert myself but have read before that android phones do not have a line-out, so with the e11 you just use headphone out of your phone to the input on the e11 then plug your headphone into the e11. From what I understand it wont make a really big difference in the quality of the...

Quote: Zune 30 FTW! I got my uncle to pic me up one in USA before they came to Canada, love that thing, actually recently dug it out and started using it again, still works like a charm :)  

Posted about 10 pages back but I got missed so Ill try again :)   I'm looking at getting some new headphones to upgrade from my HD558s in around the $350 ish range (willing to look into used also) to pair with an Audio GD NFB-12. I listen to mostly dub step, and will also be using them for...

I thought if it went through optical the NFB-12 basically worked only as a headphone amp, all though I am pretty new to these type of things. I will have to just try both I suppose and see which I prefer. Was more just curious than anything.   What is better about the Q701s compared to HD650s?

I'm looking to get a NFB-12 to use with my computer and occasionally my laptop. My pc currently has a Auzentech Bravura sound card in it (bought before I discovered the wonderful world of head-fi)   Would it sound better to hook it up to the optical/coax out on the sound card or to the usb...

I'm looking at getting some new headphones ($300 and under range, willing to look into used also) to pair with an Audio GD NFB-12. I listen to mostly dub step and hip hop, and will also be using them for gaming and occasionally to watch tv/movies. Around 60% music 20% gaming 20% tv. Doesn't...
