Alright, think i got it :) thanks once again for your help. Will leave "gain" off. Thank you so much for your help PurpleAngel

Hi PurpleAngel,   Thanks you so much for your help and advice. One more question i forgot to mention, how about the "gain" button? Should i leave it on or off? The sound difference is huge for me, between turning it on or leave it off... The sound becomes much more louder...

Sorry for the late reply,     So i ordered the O2 and just got it.. First impressions, it's a small and well built amp :) (well can't actually compare to any other since it's my first one). I did feel the difference between with amp and without it (gaming and music for the 5 minutes i turned...

    Thanks for your help PurpleAngel,   I'm going to read those links you posted, but i think i'm going to order the O2. I think it's a best bet for me and my needs. If only i didn't had xonar dx i would order creative's, and i think it would be a good bet also.. I liked how magni...

Hi kraken,   From you POV which one is better? Magni or O2? Wow as much as i love the looks of magni, it's too expensive to send to my country (£40?\66$)...

So i've been reading some more and doing some research, and before i order, i would like you to help me please:   1 - So from what i've been reading, sennheiser hd 558, are between 50 (can go) to 80 Ohms, so from my math it would be: 50/8= 6,25 Ohms to 80/8= 8Ohms, is this correct? If so i...

Well i also think it will be a great combo. Thanks for your help. Meanwhile, until i get it (i already e-mail them to ask how much it will cost to deliver it to my country), can i still use the DX+558's? I know i can use them, but my question is, does it somehow damage the headphones? So far i...

Hi PurpleAngel, Thanks for your patience and help. I'm really leaning for O2 + Asus xonar dx, since i think it's a better option for long term use, and also O2 will provide me a better experience with its lowest output impedance (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Hmm selling 558's it's not...

  Hi PurpleAngel, Thanks once again for your help. Oh come on man, feel pity for my wallet :p But now seriously, i don't think i won't upgrade any time soon to a new pair of cans... Especially because and since i use them for gaming, i don't think i will need to upgrade (but that i'll leave...

@JoyboyP, well never messed up with EQ really, since i play games, i think i should leave it default (only touched it when hearing some music). @PurpleAngel, Thanks for your help, creative had so many problems (software and hardware), that my choice a few years ago was to go for the asus xonar...

Hi again PurpleAngel,   Thanks again for your help :) If i were to chose between The Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2 vs Schiit Magni, which one is better (also the best long term investment, guess the magni since Output Impedance is Less than 0.1 ohms)? I loved the looks of magni, unfortunately...

Hi purpleAngel,    Just finished reading another post you were on explaining which headphones a member should pick up :P thank you for your reply and help :) Yes i did disabled the onboard sound on BIOS (i just re-checked again in case i forgot to do it). My sound card is like 4\5 years old...

Hi JoyboyP. thanks for the input. I'm trying this cans for testing on my ipod nano and sound is definetely better.... No more muffled sound, sound is clear and bass it's excellent :)   Quote: Hi cel4145, Thanks for your reply, well for me the sound is muffled and too "bassy" (maybe it's...

Hello everyone, My first post here:-) So after reading a lot about which headphones I should buy, I opted for sennheiser HD 558. Previously I had sennheiser HD 439, but for some reason, those cans sounded a bit bassy and also the sound was some kind of muffled. I use headphones mostly for...
