Hi all,   Just got my Yulong D100 Mk2 from Tam Audio... they ship fast! :)   I read that it only does 96khz on USB or 192khz on toslink - does that mean I'm better off to use toslink between the two?   Thanks.

I've setup my account to get email notification of private messages and thread updates, but I never receive a single email from Head-Fi.   I've checked spam and nothing there. I have to manually return to the site to check for PMs.   Any ideas?   EDIT:::   I changed my email...

I have both HD555 and HD650 and a Shanling PH100 headphone amp.   I've moved to a speaker system for all music and a decent 5.1 for computer gaming...   Sometimes when I play games, I need to use headphones so I have HD555 plugged into my receiver. The HD650 w/ Shanling PH100 amp just...

I'm going to be hooking my receiver up to my computer soon and I was wondering which connection would be better for 5.1? Should I use digital coaxial from Sound Blaster or HDMI from the video card?   Thanks!

Saw a Topaz posted for sale and it made me wonder if I should upgrade... Currently using Creative X-Fi Xtrememusic + Corda Headfive Would I benefit much from switching to a StyleAudio Topaz? I use HD650, DT770/80, ATH-A700

I was considering getting some new headphones for games/trance. It turns out I like my HD650 much more than my DT770, so I figured I'd try the AT headphones. I remembered there's some popular AT headphones for trance. but I can't remember the name! They were blue I think! Does anyone know?

I've been using SE530 for listening while commuting or relaxing and I would use SF5P for the gym. Today I made the big mistake of pairing my SE530 with my gym ipod shuffle for a short commute... now I don't think I can go to the gym without my SE530 The SE530s are just so comfortable and...

I wanted a cheaper set of earbuds for the gym. I have SE530 and SF5P. The SF5P are uncomfortable, the SE530 are AWESOME! Does Shure make any cheaper earbuds with the same fit as the SE530?

I currently have a very cheap setup: Sony STR-DG800 Infinity Primus 250 P250 x2 Infinity PS-8 subwoofer I've been thinking of upgrading to some nicer towers (which I assume will require a much better receiver). I figure I could just keep the sub or not use one at all. I listen mostly...

Hi all, My SF5P recently broke and I decided I am going to upgrade! I thought the sound was good - maybe a bit bass heavy, but good overall. I was going to get e500s but they're now called SE530 I believe? Are these still popular and considered great?!

I bought my SF5P a long time ago and they've been great - but recently the black coating on the wire has ripped in two places... It never caused any problems before but yesterday my left earbud stopped working. As far as I can see, the wires are still connected so I'm no sure why there's no...

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to hook my system up but nothing is working. The receiver is a Sony STR-DG800. Currently I have 5 pieces in my loop. Computer with X-fi Music Receiver Regular HT Speakers (Infinity Primus series) Logitech Z5500 computer speakers Corda...

Hey everyone, So I have the opportunity to pick up some headphones/amps etc from Hong Kong but in all honesty I don't know what I want or what is cheaper there! I am currently ampless, so if there is a cheap place there to get a half decent headphone amp I could get one. I also have the...

Hey everyone, I recently had a Gilmore Lite which I enjoyed but I sold it when I picked up my receiver. However, I've now noticed that my receiver has an annoying buzz with my HD650 (I notice it when trying to watch movies because of the quiet parts. The buzz is not affected my volume level...

Hey everyone, So I've been using X-fi --> GLite --> HD650 for a long time now. Today I picked up a Sony STR-DG800 receiver. It's a low/mid level receiver I guess and has a direct 1/4" headphone out. I was wondering - how comparable is this out to a Gilmore Lite? As far as I can tell, the...

Hey everyone, So I have my perfect headphone setup already and I just recently picked up some infinity P160s. (Primus 160 is another name I believe) Anyway, I know exactly what I want.. I just don't know if it exists! I think it's a receiver but because most of my stuff is computer stuff I...

So I've been using my HD650 for a few weeks now and I totally love them. The only thing I noticed is that the headband pad on the top is kinda turning white (from gel). I can't shower every single time before I want to use these headphones so I was wondering if this piece can be easily...

I posted this elsewhere I think this is the right section so I'm removing my old post to post here! I'm using an X-fi --> canare star quad (made by head-fier) --> Glite --> HD650 The thing is, my couch is quite far from my computer and I would like to be able to lie down and listen to...

Hey everyone, So I am currently using Xfi-->Glite-->HD650 and I'm loving it. However, I'm finding it annoying to swap between speakers and my headphones on the FR/FL channel plug. I'm wondering how much I would need to spend on a DAC in order to get decent sound quality, better than the X-fi...

Hey everyone, I just got a gilmore lite and I wanted to make sure I don't do anything improperly that might short circuit it etc. To start, I connect all the wires+headphones, turn power on, and then turn volume knob up. When i'm done, I turned volume knob all the way down, power off...

Hey everyone, So I have an X-fi coming in and I want to be able to conveniently use my speakers and headphone amp at the same time I see that there are 4 ports on the X-fi, and my 5.1 speakers take 3 of those. My question is: Will the amp work the same out of any of those ports, or does...

Hi everyone, I have some HD650s coming in soon and I was looking to get an amp to match them. Currently I use a PA2v2 but I'm guessing it's not beefy enough and won't really bring out the true HD650. I was interested in a headroom micro DM but it looks like it will take 4+ weeks to get...

So.. looks aren't really an important consideration for me at all.. especially because I only use these headphones at home but i must say, I think the Hd590 are BEAUTIFUL looking headphones. I think beyers are pretty ugly/rugged and Hd650/ATHaxxx series. look pretty plain. the hd555 look nice...

I joined head-fi not so long ago.. and first really got into headphones. I started with the HD-590 and Pa2v2.. they were so amazing! I loved them but I had to try the Dt-770s after hearing about their bass! So those were my next purchase. I loved both these cans a lot but realised I needed...
