could you provide some insight on how I would do that? I've never built an amp before, so this is still a bit foreign to me and I'm still learning.

why: I like bass. deep, low bass. I listen to most of my music as is, but from time to time I like to have bass that vibrates my ears. none of my outputs quite do it. my Fiio E6 is driven into clipping when I try doing this, which sounds kinda crappy.   the needs: 200+mw into 32 ohms. this...

I'm game. this is a question I've been interested in, so bring it on! I'll listen and provide my results soon, but currently I'm in the library which isn't quiet enough.

i was watching tv the other day and a car commercial comes on. i see just the tip of the cable plugged into an android phone and i immediately shout "that's an m50!" my two loves, android and quality headphones. I believe it was an Acura commercial that they were trying to make a big deal about...

so far at school i have seen the usual beats and ibuds, i have seen some "dynabass headphones" that sound like fart cannons. for the good, i have seen someone with a pair of m50s with the removable cable mod, because i modded it for him, and i have seen a person with v-moda crossfade lp. i have...

the klipsch s4 is currently on sale for 37 dollars on amazon with free shipping, which is a good savings off of the street price, and a huge discount from the msrp. you can find it here: here i want to order a pair so badly, but have no money for such endeavours

i don't know if this is being an audiophile, but you know you are a head-fier when you correct people who mix up headphones and earphones, or ear buds and IEM's/canalphones.

If I am correct, any amplifier with a low impedance would improve it, but if I am wrong' I am sure somebody can correct me Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

i am buying a nexus 7, which i hear has pretty bad sound quality. i understand that bluetooth audio would bypass the built in DAC. i am searching for a bluetooth reciever that is battery powered. it does not need to have an amplifier, as i can easily hook up my fiio e6 to amplify, all i want is...

you know you are an audiophile when you stuff your pillows with acoustastuff to see if it has better sonic properties. you cringe at the thought of people buying these crappy "soundlogic dynabass" headphones, which are absolutely terrible.

yeah, he is correct, the only difference is one little PLX chip on the board, nothing else changes between the DG and DGX

i would say no. i use the ath-m50 and ath-ad700 with the PCIe version of that card, the xonar dgx, and they both have 10 foot cables, but when i installed the shorter cable on my m50 (removable cable mod) the sq had no considerable change. as long as the cable doesn't go too near the power...

met a girl on a cruise this summer(i'm 16, and she is about the same) and she had a koss dj 100 powered by a fiio e5. i showed her my m50 limited and she seemed to like them. it's nice to know that some people believe in good audio quality at my age. all the people around my school that have...

i second the ad700, they are very light and comfy.

ad700 hands down

i was walking out into my garage to find some inspiration for a headphone stand, when suddenly, a Wild Doorstop Appeared. 10 minutes later my headphones were hanging happily on my desk.    

a commonly recommended headphone for gaming is the audio technica ad700. they are great for long gaming sessions, because they breathe well so you do not sweat, they have great positional audio in battlefield 3. everyone in my family wears glasses (except for me) and they say that they are quite...

i think to reduce risk of confusion, we should say that black is common. ground is commonly confused with it, but ground would mean that it is grounded to the earth, but common would mean it is shared between multiple circuits. Quote: i will be preforming this mod pretty soon. As i have...

i was thinking about building a headphone stand myself, but i walked into my garage and stumbled upon a brass doorstop. i bolted that to my desk, and away i went. i will post pictures tomorrow.

on second thought, what i think they really say behind my back is something like "let's mess up his hair" if they don't say it, they certainly achieve it.

first, there is a pre made thread for this purpose. the ath-m50 is a headphone that is much better than mainstream gear at it's pricepoint. it is certainly a good choice, although some say there are better. i reccomend the beyerdynamic dt-250 velour pads. they will fit it with some persuasion...

i wouldn't be one to tell you what to buy specifically. one thing i do know is that the E5 is only an amplafier, as i had one, until i sold it. it is a good quality amplafier for the money, but it is not a DAC so it will only make it more powerful. the D5 is a DAC with a relatively low power...
