I don't use IEM's much, so I settled for some Monoprice 9927's that were on sale for $5 (and were pretty nice for being dirt cheap). Unfortunately, they were destroyed, and maybe getting something better will change my mind about using IEMs and make me eventually get a decent pair. I happen to...

My Android phone has very little storage and no possibility of expansion, so I can't hold all of my music, even at a low quality. I've decided to put a few tracks at 192kbps on there, and stream everything at high quality from my Windows 7 computer when able.   I want to be able to listen to...

I care mostly about sound quality, but also would prefer it to be full featured. As I hear it, Neutron is best for that, but it costs money.   From what I can tell, it looks like DeaDBeeF and AIMP are my best options. I really liked AIMP on Windows, and I hear DeaDBeeF is the best linux...

My ATH-M50s are pretty quiet when it comes to sounds presented as being in front of you as opposed to the sounds presenting as being at your sides, and so vocals, or other sounds presented in the same way, are being overshadowed by these other sounds.   In order to correct for this, I boosted...

I've been searching around on the forums for this, and haven't found any definitive answer. I keep reading different answers. I'm hoping maybe someone can give the right answer and explain why.   When using a headphone AMP, some people say you should set the AMP at max and then adjust source...

Don't like listening to Atonal music on a regular basis, but I often enjoy some of Sorabji's piano works (though all of his best pieces seem to be disappearing from youtube?) and recently found a mashup of two pendulum songs in different keys that sounds really amazing once you welcome it as...

I often hear people saying that frequency response is the biggest part in determining the sound of a headphone. Obviously there are other factors such as driver type, the seal the headphones make, etc. Maybe I just don't want to feel like I am paying for an expert EQ, or that a $20 headphone can...

Some songs have parts to them I would like to cut out.   How can I properly trim parts of my audio without any sound loss from conversions and such? Would programs like VLC be able to do it, or would I have to download a specific program just for this (if there is a Foobar plugin I don't use...

I've been a fan of OGG Vorbis against its major contenders being AAC and LAME mp3. It seems to be the best at bass quality for the bit rate and can impressively reduce file sizes without being slow at encoding. However I heard good things about Musepack and looked into it compared to AAC and...

From what I understand, you can get better sound for the price from a DAC/AMP than a sound card. What I'm not sure is whether that is true for all price ranges.   Taking the Xonar DGX, a pretty cheap sound card, would a DAC/AMP for about $40 be significantly better than getting a Xonar DGX...

I currently have a laptop that has Beats Audio on it (but use WASAPI event instead usually). I am currently looking for a laptop for a relative, who enjoys audio, and I found one that has MaxxAudio.   I don't have any experience with MaxxAudio, and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about...

I've been using my ATH M50s as an all-rounder (and I know they aren't the best for that) and am looking at buying new headphones with a better budget. I mostly listen to Spotify played from my laptop as my source, so I'm not looking for headphones that are  too revealing of the source but still...

I am currently using the ATH M50 headphones, and while I like them, there are some regards they lack that I am hoping an AMP or DAC could improve. Or possibly an upgrade for less than $200 even, but I would have to wait a lot longer to be able to get that.   I like the clarity in the ATH M50...

Windows has sound format options or 16 or 24 bit sound, as well a hertz value. I've heard that the hertz value should be 48k for compatibility with applications, but searching here and elsewhere about the bit size hasn't given me any results.   I know almost all if not all of the sound I have...
