How much is too much for BNIB D7000
Title says it all really. I've always loved how the Denon AH-D7000 headphones looked and I heard they sound amazing, but I got into the game far to late to nab a pair. A friend of mine just got a hold of one that's never been opened and he's willing to give it to me for 700 USD. I've never...- iNcontroL

Hearing Distortion/Crackle/Static on all audio
Hey everyone, I've come across a problem that has me stumped. Lately I've been hearing distortion, crackles, jitters, or static sporadically while listening to music or any kind of audio through my headphones. This happens with youtube, spotify, or any other source. It's completely random, and...- iNcontroL

Sound Blaster X7 Settings
Nope and I wouldn't even know what to replace it with to get around the problem I had. Seems the X7 was the only solution.- iNcontroL

Sound Blaster X7 Settings
Was the X7 a waste of money? Absolutely, I pretty much only bought it for convenience sake. Mainly when switching between my headset and headphones. The Titanium HD required me to get on my knees behind my desk and unplug my headset because the headphone amp on it was exclusive. So in order...- iNcontroL

Have the itch to buy something new
So, I have the itch to buy some new equipment. I'm thinking my next purchase is gonna be some new headphones, but I'm not sure what to go for it. I'm looking for something under $300, I'm hoping the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium 600 OHM Headphones drop to $229 again in the next few months so I...- iNcontroL

Sound Blaster X7 Settings
Hey everyone, I just bought a Sound Blaster X7 Limited Edition. I'm a bit confused about a few settings and couldn't find much information on them searching google. In the Speakers/Headphones section there's an option called Direct Mode "Direct Mode gives you audio in its purest form...- iNcontroL

All Around Sound System
Ah, got ya. Thanks for the letting me know about the Pre Amp requirement. I could use a stand, but with the way I have everything setup, one speaker would be on my desk and the other on a stand of equal height. This would make them fall below ear level. I'm not sure how much that would effect...- iNcontroL

All Around Sound System
Hey everyone, I currently own a high end computer system, primarily used for gaming. I also have a XBR65X900A mounted on my bedroom wall right next to it. I typically listen to music through my Sennheiser HD598 with Magni Amp hooked up to my Titanium HD. It sounds amazing, which unfortunately...- iNcontroL

WASAPI in iTunes causes Static
Quote: I honestly hate iTunes now and much prefer Winamp. Unfortunately, quite a bit of the music I purchased over the years from iTunes, especially the older songs are Protected AAC Audio Files so I have no choice. As far as the article goes I have everything on my computer set to 44.1 kHz...- iNcontroL

WASAPI in iTunes causes Static
Quote: None of that changed a thing. All my other audio devices were already disabled or uninstalled through Device Manager and BIOS. Changing it to 16bit Output didn't help either, but as soon as I changed it back from WASAPI to Directsound it lost all the distortion. I'm really at a loss...- iNcontroL

WASAPI in iTunes causes Static
So, I found out that iTunes has Wasapi built in by switching from Direct Sound to Windows Audio Session. It worked fine for a while until I installed my new video cards (Upgraded from 580 SLI to 780 SLI). Now every time I use Windows Audio Session in iTunes it causes static, crackling, and...- iNcontroL

HD 598 - Confused on the Equipment I need
I've decided to get a Magni for my Computer and a E17K for my iPod. From what I read the past few days, the Titanium HD's DAC is better than most budget DACs I can get, so adding a Desktop Amp for better Sound, Volume Control, and the ability to use my speaks and headphones would be the way to...- iNcontroL

HD 598 - Confused on the Equipment I need
Quote: So I don't need a E9K? If a E17 does the same thing as a E9K than what's the point of having both? Is E9K just a glorified dock? And if I'm understand you right, I won't be running the DAC/AMP into my Titanium HD but instead using a USB? Which would sound better and does a...- iNcontroL

HD 598 - Confused on the Equipment I need
So like the title says, I have the Sennheiser HD598s and I love them. I currently have them hooked up to my computer with a Titanium HD sound card and mainly use it for 50% Gaming/90% Music (How does that make sense? I always have music running when I'm gaming). I also listen to my music through...- iNcontroL

HD598 still the King for Gaming?
Thanks for all the replies. I was thinking of going the AKG Q701 but the fact that I'd need an Amp changed my mind. I'll be ordering the HD 598s. To bad I can't find it cheaper than 250 for a new one.- iNcontroL

That's one thing I've always been confused about. One of the major arguments for HD 598 is that they're "fun". What does that even mean?- iNcontroL

HD598 still the King for Gaming?
Hey everyone, I currently own a set of Sennheiser PC-360, something happened that requires me to RMA it. Now a friend of mine offered me 180 for it when I get it back. I was wondering if this is worth it? I've had my eye on a the H598s for a long time. I love how the look and I heard...- iNcontroL
