    Review by 'HyperDuckling' on item 'Audiophile Products Fubar IV Plus - Silver USB DAC / Headphone Amplifier'

    I purchased this a couple of months back with a "Firestone Supplier" which is basically just a power supply, so I dont get what the fuss is about... something with clean power... whatever... I got it for free so why the heck not? :) This is part of Firestones "Cute" series, so this amp/dac combo...

    Review by 'HyperDuckling' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM'

    Ok so, this was my first ever "hi-fi" headphone, and my first thoughts were "Why haven't I cared about audio before now?" I was literally blown away, coming from the cheap "gaming" headsets (Gamecom 780, Corsair 1400 etc.) these just sounded so much more clear and "clean". The bass reaches down...

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    God damnit... It might be an even longer while until I buy a soundcard, just found out that the modmic (with shipping and taxes) costs more than 100$, and it's already been dispatched so I can't cancel my order :/

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    haha, thanks :)   I'll give it a try, once my optical cable arrives :) if that's no good, I'll give the Razer software a go...

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    Will do! although it might be a bit until I actually buy it... just bought a ModMic and with shipping to my country it costs 80$... DAYUM! So I have to justify to myself spending any more money on headphone audio :)   already spent 640$ (headphones, AMP, Mic, and soon soundcard), it's an...

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    Hmmm... just read some reviews on the ASUS Xonar DGX on newegg, and some pointed out that it does NOT output Dolby Digitial with Optical. Can anyone confirm/deny that?

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    I'll definetly give the Razer Software a try! I'm currently connecting it to my pc via USB. And yes, motherboard drivers are all up to date! :)   I was thinking of getting the DGX (mainly because of PCI-E x1) and an optical cable, though everything is alot more expensive over here, so...

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    Ok, Thank you so much! But I'm wondering is it worth spending 60$ extra just to get the virtual surround? Is positional audio any better than with without?

    Soundcard to AMP/DAC any difference?

    Hi Head-fi :)   So recently (with help from you beatiful guys!) I purchased my AKG K612 and a Firestone Fubar IV (used) and I must say that I really like the sound coming out of that combo! though I was wondering: Would purchasing an internal soundcard make any difference? Because i'd really...

    Yeah, I think I'll give it a try!   Might just get something like a SB-Z and then I'll always be ableto upgrade in the future! :)

    It sounds really good... damn... having a hard time! :) I might be able to pick up a cheap pair of AD700's though and if i find them cheap enough i'll go for them. But if I dont find any, I think i'll go for the X1!

    You're not making this any easier... :D X1 is in for the game again! :)

    I just spotted a sale, here in Denmark. The only retailer who sells the Fiio E09K, has it on sale for only 90£/150$ including taxes/shipping, and thats quite alot cheaper than anything i've seen on eBay/Amazon... should i go for it? btw. it only lasts until 18-06 :/

    Headphones for gaming/music

    Vil jeg gøre! :) tråden er hermed også postet derinde.   Hmmm, it looks good! Though I think that i'm pretty much set on the Fiio amp... unless you have some persuasion skills :)   I've looked up the k701 mod and it seems like it actually increases the bass quite a lot, might actually...

    Headphones for gaming/music

    that's one hell of a lot of assumptions :D   1) I don't currently own any AMP/DAC, but planning on buying the E9I, as it seems like the best bang for the buck 2) my absolute max budget would be 350$, but everything is quite a lot more expensive here in Denmark, add about 30%! for reference...

    I'll definetly give the Razer Surround a try!   And i'm also really hooked on the K701 and AD700X, for no particular reason really... they just look awesome! :) and they should (both) have a huge soundstage, so maybe them paired with a Fiio E9I and some Razer Surround? :)

    Headphones for gaming/music

    I've tried quite a few (3) different headsets with virtual surround sound, and IMO it didn't help a jack locating enemies location :)   I've looked it through quite a few times, but still can't choose :) i've also checked pretty all reviews I could find on the headphones... but still can't...

    Just bought this amp (actually bought two, because of the pricetag!) and at first, when i powered it on, i was a little worried, as it wouldn't light up in the front, but i just left it their lying on my floor, and when i came back to my room it worked... *easy problemsolving* :)   This little...
