Hey all, i want to connect my Liquid Plat and my active powered ADAM speakers to the same DAC. I currently am using the Mytek Brooklyn. I would really like a DAC with multiple XLR out and the ability to cotrol the volume of my speakers through. Preferably a passive design on the volume control...

There's so many combinations and i'm curious on what everyone is running! You can be as simple as you want but honestly the more detailed the better. I'll start by sharing mine in the most detail possible and one of my more simpler chains. I'm curious to see everything from simple to complicated...

Previously known as SendiyAudio, the chinese company recently dropped the 'i' in the middle of their branding, slimming down to a simple Sendy. Along with their name change, they went with a new logo said to represent philosophy, integrity, and honesty in Chinese culture. Most importantly, with...

So I have $4,500 to spend on a pair of headphones, an amp and a dac. I’ve messed around with a bunch of low fi and midfi and want to go all the way this time. I was planning on going with the Autuer Teak from ZMF with a Soekris 1541. I feel that this may be pointless as I would most likely shoot...

What DAC or AMP/DAC would be a good choice for $600 or less that would work well with the STAX lineup? Currently looking at the Chord Mojo, iFi iDSD Black Label, Topping DX7

I got my computer and furnisher how i want it. I have $2,000 to comfortably drop on a complete setup. I got all my snake oil cables ( RCA's, SPDIF, etc ) ready to go. I need a pair of headphones and preferably a DAC/AMP combo. Any suggestions? I don't necessarily care about a flat sound, I want...

So I currently am running a Laptop > AudioQuest Jitterbug > AudioQuest Forest USB > Topping D30 > Audioquest Forest RCA > Topping A30 > Headphones it sounds good, but i honestly want to run my setup through SPDIF instead of USB for now on. No good reason really! Maybe just an excuse to spend...

The Fostexs start distorting and reaching channel imbalances after 75 on the volume dial and they dont even sound loud enough.   Will buying stronger power tubes help in the powering of the Fostex, or am i out of luck with this combo? Should i buy a Solid state amp? Im just sort of lost on...

This may be a dumb question but I really need an answer. I have the Lepai 2020 amp laying around and it happens to have an mp3 port in the back that my 3.5mm headphones can fit in. Am I getting any benefit running my headphones from this port rather than directly from the back of my computer?

Ok, I just bought a pair of the CR6's of ebay. They came with the speakers and thats all. My question is, how do I hook up the speakers to my computer? Do I need an RCA to stereo adapter? But with that how could I get both speakers hooked up through the same source? please help the noob <3 thanks

Ok, so I know really nothing about vinyl. But I plan on buying the AudioTechnica AT-LP60. I heard its a decent recorder. My main question is. Can I use my Shiit Magni as a headphone amp that can connect to the turntable? Or do I just hook my headphones directly up to the turntable? Also I know...

The Pioneer SE A1000. Most likely not heard of from most people here. The thing about that fact, is that its a sad fact. A very sad fact indeed. When it comes to a phone under $100. You are most likely thinking. ew. There cant possibly be anything good under $100.   Or youre thinking. I...

So, considering theyre are loads of people looking for cheaper phones to compete with the beats. I think Its a good idea to make a post featuring phones that are good alternatives, and that compete with higher end phones. So here is my list. Feel free to add on and say why.    RHA SA950i  - ...

After doing some looking around. I have came up with a headphone, that I might find to be the headphone Zardak has said to be the best headphone in the world. And you can have it for Only $45. The point of this thread is to post sub $100 headphones you believe to be "supposedly" the best...

Ok, i am really into electronic, hip hop, and 60's and early 70's. (awkward music gap i know), but point is, i narrowed my choices down to these 3. I ahve a Fiio e10 amp/dac already. And own the Ultrasone 580s. Which headphone iwll be my best bet? And is there any other in this price range or...

Ok, got some money, right now, only owned the ultrasone 580, i like them, but i understand the sig on the ultrasones are different than other phones. I have a e10 amp/dac. So my question is, are there any phones sub $250 that are noticeably better than the 580's and benifit from a fiio e10...

Ok, so I have to make a quick decision on headphones i will be buying, nothing matters other than being nuetral. I listen to about every genre of music, so yeah. Will be using them with a Fiio e10 dac/amp.

Ok, so I am looking for a closed over ear phone. But my problem is, that $300 seems to be where alot of phones call home. Ive looked at the VMODA M100, SONY MDR-1, Mad Dogs,AKG Tiestos, Sennhesier Momentums, Denon, Beyer, ....... the list jsut keeps going on and on! I listen to dubstep...

So out of these two headphones, around the same price, which one is worth more of the money? Is there any other headphone that can compare? To be more precise, which headphone is best from $300-$400 and is good for classic, 60's-70's music and hip hop, dubstep, electronic.....???? ( will be used...

Ok, so these both are awesome mods. they really change the fostex into a whole new headphone. Both of these headphones are made to compete in the $400 and up headphone category. The Mad dogs can eb found for $260, where the Thunderpants can be found for $450+. I understand that the Thunderpants...

This disgusts me! Just read the top comment. This is sad and people need to learn that this is horrible. Hate and post comments and dislike video! Help these poor people until its to late! Just listen to the last quote from the guy also! XDXDXD  ...

I think It would be a good idea for HeadFi or someone to make a youtube channel where people send ina video of their setup and what on it! It would be a good idea and it could expand on HeaDFi and the audio community. like every other day they make a video of that persons audio setup. What do...

Ok, so what is the best all around open headphone under $250? I listen to all music other than heavy metal and screamo. you can see the amps I have in my signature.

Ok, so I recently got into listening to high quality music jsut 2 weeks ago! After listening to my Ultrasone 580's with Fiio e17 with FLAC and ALAC audio files, I CANNOT listen to youtube or any other crappy audio quality anymore! The first couple of days I could not  tell a difference. But now...
