Hello headfiers. What are the best settings in terms of sound quality for a setup like this? See my signature below. Spitfire is a 24bit/96khz DAC. Prelude soundcard is in Audio creation mode. Master sampling rate is 96khz and bit-matched playback is enabled. Is this even necessary if...

I am currently deciding whether to get Terminators V4 with BlackGold cable or pro 900. I really like the sound of my 770pro but I'd like to know if I can get something a bit better. Something with a bit more bass, better quality bass, more forward midrange and bigger soundstage if that is even...

I am about to order Terminator 4 but I don't know which cable to choose. I read the description of each cable and they all sound good to me Are BlackMax and BlackGold worth it or should I go with BlackSilver?

So last night I had a dream where I was listening to Grado SR60 for the first time and I was amazed how good they sounded. Mids were very nice and suprisingly soundstage was quite large. Should I buy them? I think I really want to even though I have plenty of headphones and I don't really...

I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I just came across these headphones. ƒwƒbƒhƒzƒ“ mix-style mix-style headphones Frequency response 500hz-20khz. Oh and have a look at the frequency graph. Could this be the worst headphone ever? I mean we don't even know the brand name...

I just got the Prelude soundcard. What are the best settings for Foobar music listening? I want to enable ASIO but I'm not sure if its turned on by default on this soundcard. I am running in Audio Creation mode with bit-matched playback enabled. Is there annything else I need to change in...

Left wire is left channel, middle is right and far right is ground ? Am I right? I'm putting on a new jack btw. EDIT: Actually the red middle one is left channel, I just need to make sure the far right wire on the picture is ground. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

So I just bought Koss UR40 and to me they look like they are suited for portable use. They are easy to drive and they look so COOL. Ear cups are thin and not sticking out. Sound signature is similar to KSC75 with better bass and cable is only 4 feet long. Perfect for portable use. I actually...

I'd like to tone down highs a bit on my 990pro and/or increase bass slightly. Would something like this do the job? Behringer MINIFBQ FBQ800 AUDIO TECHNOLOGY - EQUALIZERS & ACCESSORIES - MINIFBQ FBQ800 : Ultra-Compact 9-Band Graphic Equalizer with FBQ Or perhaps this one. ULTRAGRAPH DIGITAL...

Does anyone know where I can recable my 81s for cheap? I've found this place so far APureSound - Where The Music Is Always Pure $80 for 4 feet is within my budget but I was wondering if you guys know some other places as well. Thanks.

So I just bought DT990pro-250 and so far I'm very happy. They really do have a U shape frequency response. Highs are very strong on this headphone. On some songs this is good but on certain electronica tracks the highs become too harsh. But mostly the highs are fine. Mids are better than...

What would be a better headphone for electronica in your opinion? I like my DT770pro but I would like to have a bit more soundstage, airiness and better mids. DT990pro is much cheaper here in Australia and I'm not sure the extra cost of DT990 05 is justified. I did read that DT990 05 sound...

So I just bought px100 and I'm comparing them to my other headphones at the moment. Is it just me or do these sound way better than more expensive HD485? px100 have nice mids and highs and are generally very smooth sounding.Bass is very good too. I find bass to be a bit stronger than KSC75...

I searched the web and I can't find a comparision between these 2. I have KSC75 and they sound great but OMX52 look much cooler and are closed so I am thinking of buying them. These graphs are the only comparison I have http://www.geocities.jp/ryumatsuba/omx52.html...

This is such a great sounding amp that I decided to post some pics. I hope you like it Thanks goes to Skylab for writing a great review of this amp.

This is my first amp and I am very impressed. It took about 2 weeks to arrive from Canada to Australia. Very fast delivery IMO. I'm running it from Audigy 2zs with dt770pro/80. The first thing I noticed is more forward mids(vocals), clearer sound and more soundstage. Bass is tighter and a bit...

I just got Xenos X1HA-EPC and I connected it to soundcard line out. Battery is still charging but before I turn it on I want to know what volume level my playback device such as soundcard or mp3 player should be. People on this forum claim it should be at 100% but in the Xenos manual it says...

Are these custom made Sonys or some other brand? I reckon they look totally cool on her

Ok I just received these headphones and all I can say is I think I am hearing bass in places where I shouldn't Rocket blasts sound so sweet in quakeworld and other FPS games. These are the perfect headphones for me. I don't think I'll buy anymore headphones after this. I'm just waiting...

I just ordered 770pro 80ohm version and I need to decide what amp to buy. I don't have any experience with amps so I need your help. The amp would be used for 80% desktop 20% portable/travel use. My budget is no more than Xenos X1HA-EPC which is $240. Can someone compare Xenos X1HA-EPC with...

I want to replace my computer headphones Senn. HD500. I've got K81s for use with mp3 player and they sound so much better than HD500s. I have audigy2 zs and don't plan to upgrade soundcard ATM or buy an amp. I listen to electronica mainly. Anyway while reading this forum and that HUGE pdf...

Hello I just got this great mp3 player and it really is awesome. It was AU$267 at JB-HIFI. I'm still playing with all the options but so far I am very impressed. Its only my 2nd mp3 player, my previous one was a Samsung Yepp YP-T6Z 1 GB. The Iriver beats Samsung in pretty much everything, the...
