    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I am sorry, let me rephrase it. I wish I would of looked on so called Gibson pair and taken a picture to see if it really is a Gibson made pair before I sent it back. I believe it was, judging by serial number, it was much higher than my Woox pair.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

      Quote: I am not sure, but from what I read online, Woox was bought by Gibson. So I am assuming the left over Woox headphones are being packed into Gibson box along with Gibson headphones into Gibson boxes.    That's the second thing I've noticed, the sound was different. Woox pair...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I am one of the people that bought these on sale at amazon. The first pair I got sounded great to me, the pads were very soft, but I noticed it didn't have a lot of high's and low's like people described. The sound was neutral and muffled. So I went on forum and started reading reviews and...

    Schiit Modi vs Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for powered studio monitors

    When I listened to both devices through LSR305 speakers and by using foobar2000 player (downloaded couple high quality songs), I didn't notice any difference in quality. I even had my brother listen, and he said it sounds the same. I think I did hear more hiss coming from the speakers when they...

    Schiit Modi vs Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for powered studio monitors

    I ended up getting both to try and kept Focusrite 2i2. The main reasons were 1/4" TRS connectors, volume knob, headphones output, plus 2 mic pre-amps just in case I'll need it in the future. I've been using it for a year and no problems so far. Modi didn't have any of those options and for the...

    Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!

    Everywhere I've looked, the T10 is $399. The lowest of JBL LSR310 I've seen was $355. I think it is still too high and should be in $250-$300 range. Also JBL has Class D amp compare to Presonus A/B.

    Pictures of your computer rigs! Post them here!

    Wow, I have the same exact case, same speakers LSR305, scarlet 2i2, but different speaker pads (Auralex). Do you have LSR310? I want one for the lower end, as 5" don't produce enough bass.   What mouse and keyboard do you have? lol   Quote:

    Schiit Modi vs Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for powered studio monitors

    Thanks for the feedback.   I do like Focusrite because of the volume control and TRS output. However, I am not sure if the quality of the sound is better on Modi or Focusrite. What I mean, which has a better audio chip inside.   Also Focusrite has only 16-bit sound output (when you go to...

    Schiit Modi vs Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for powered studio monitors

    Hello,   I am in need of a DAC and I can't decide which one to keep/buy. I have JBL LSR305 speakers and they have balanced TRS and XLR out. Focusrite scartlett 2i2 has balanced TRS out, while Schiit Modi has a pair of unbalanced RCA out. Which will be better for my needs? Will I see a...

    Schiit Modi USB DAC

    For some reason when I plug Modi into USB 3.0, the computer won't recognize it, but works fine with USB 2.0. I tried different USB 3.0 ports and same issue.   Anyone have same thing?   Also how do you guys set it up? (what options you choose in sound/speaker settings in control panel).

    bookshelf speakers vs studio monitors?

    That's the reason why I considered LSR 305, as they are on sale at sweetwater, $224 shipped, compare to A5+ $314 shipped.   Do JBL's produce more base than A5+? What DAC would you recommend for JBL's?   I was going to buy Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm and Schiit Magni, but now I am not sure if...

    bookshelf speakers vs studio monitors?

    What do you guys think would better suit my needs, Audioengine A5+ or JBL LSR305? I will be connecting them to my computer and maybe later on buying a DAC. Not sure if Schiit Modi will work with them well. It will be for music listening and watching movies/tv shows.   Seems like...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I see, that's why I am in tough position, $220 for DT880 600ohm or $215 for X1. If I will go with DT880, I will have to buy Schiit Magni for now and the maybe later on buy Modi.

    HD 681 Dynamic Semi-Open seem to be $60 on amazon compare to Creative $70.   I would try the HD 681 and see how they sound.

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Thank you guys for the feedback it does help a lot. It's just I was able to place an order for DT880 600ohm while they were $220 (but they were out of stock so my order didn't ship yet), so I guess I will cancel it and place an order for X1. Do the ear cups attract a lot of dust since they are...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I still can't decide if I should go with Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm or Philips X1. I know I will need an amp for Beyers, and not for Philips. Philips headphones do look a lot nicer in my opinion.
