This thread is about sample rates.   My understanding is that most audio is sampled at 44kHz - 48kHz. What would be the benefit of a device (like the Fiio E17) that advertises a sample rate of 192kHz?   It seems that the increased sample rate would not positively affect the quality...

I am thinking of getting a portable amp\DAC from Fiio, and I have it down to the E17 or E7. My question is whether the SPDIF on the E17 will make any difference for my music, which is streamed from Spotify. Would I be better off by saving my money and buying the E17?

For about a year I listened to MOG every day for hours. I bought into their hype about having the most pristine audio quality, thinking nobody else could rival it.   Recently, I bought a new phone that MOG does not support, so I switched to Spotify, which, like MOG, streams at 320kbps. You...

Hey everybody!   If you follow my posts, you know that I am the recent owner of the excellent Sennheiser 558 headphones. As I mentioned earlier, the sound is very polite, and a little bit overly warm and smooth. - which is only good if you are in the mood for it!   If you are like me...

Head-Fi'ers!   For those of you who appreciate rock/metal fusions I would like to introduce you to my favorite band, the Deftones. They came on to the scene in the early 90's, and have kept it original and fresh ever since. They never got a lot (if any) radio play, which speaks to the fact...

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am looking at buying some good headphones that will be used exclusively for listening at my computer in my home study. I've been spending lots of time looking for the perfect headphone - and then I realized that a lot of money could go to...

Hello, this is my first post on Head-fi. I am here because I love music, I listen to it for hours every day on MOG. I am looking for headphone that will offer a "one and done" solution for listening. I currently own Seinnheiser HD202. I must admit they sound OK, but I want something very...
