Does anyone have a Schiit Saga and an LG TV with WebOS 3.0 and a Magic Remote? If so, have you tried controlling a Schiit Saga with an LG Magic Remote? Do any of the device presets have the correct button mapping for the Schiit Saga remote? A while back I created this thread: DAC with IR...

In the old head-fi site, I bookmarked this link: https://www.head-fi.org/forum/newposts/filter/new It showed me the threads from all sub-forums, sorted by creation time. My link doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to get that functionality on the new site? This is the closest I could...

I am trying to figure out what to do with my TV audio. My TV (LG OLEDB6P) has only HDMI or TOSLINK audio output. Currently I'm using my Magni/Modi 2U and LSR305 monitors. The problem is that I cannot control the volume remotely. I am looking for something that can take TOSLINK input, adjust...

I bought TesseracT's new album Polaris, with the bonus DVD which has a stereo 96/24 and a 5.1 mix in AC3 and DTS 96/24. I feel like sharing my thoughts and discoveries regarding the different versions, so that is the purpose of this thread.     First of all, the standard CD sounds great. It...

Here are segments of waveforms from the HDTracks versions of Halestorm's The Strange Case of... and Trivium's Vengeance Falls, respectively.       In both of these examples it looks like the audio was clipped and then stretched to give an artificially higher DR score. The Halestorm album...

Can anyone explain the following phenomena?   These tests were done using my Magni amp with my SR125e headphone as a load. It was measured by my SBZ mic input using a Y splitter to measure the electrical signal directly on the headphone plug. The green "no resistor" line is with the splitter...

I was wondering if there could be a foobar2000 component that controls the windows volume according to the replay gain information in your music.   I know foobar has built in replay gain settings that uses digital volume control to apply the replay gain adjustments to the audio data. I think...

Today I was doing some experiments with my headphones and a multimeter and discovered something that I thought I would share. To those of you who already fully understand how electrical damping works, this won't be anything new to you, but it might prove interesting or helpful if you don't fully...

My roommate has a turntable and he asked me if I could try to set it up correctly. I've never done it before but I watched a few videos and it doesn't seem too complicated. I just have a couple of questions.   First, how do I identify what the cartridge is? It has the Audio Technica logo on...

There is this really strange noise that I hear at the beginning of "what is and what should never be" when I listen to it with headphones. Actually, I wouldn't even call it a noise necessarily, more like an odd effect. I was wondering if anyone else hears this. Right at 3 seconds, there is a...

I have done some measurements to find the output impedance of my Sound Blaster Z sound card, mostly just for curiosity and fun. Here is what I did:   Create a 100Hz sin wave file in matlab and play it on repeat in foobar. Attach a multimeter measuring AC voltage to the left channel output...

Could someone describe the difference in sound I might get from a headphone amp like the Schiit Magni (apart from maximum volume, I don't need any more of that), compared to any of my current equipment? Or if the Magni is not an appreciable improvement, what sort of amp would be? Here is a list...

I bought the Ear Zonk L cushions to put on my SR125i. I'm not entirely happy with them. One of the ear pads is distinctly more comfortable than the other. One is thinner towards the center than the other, and I think that causes the top of my ear to touch the the fabric on the headphones...

My Grado SR125i sometimes makes a tapping sound in the left ear when I tilt my head or move the wire around. I can see by looking through the mesh in the back that it is caused by the wire tapping against the metal magnet plate in the middle. I can partially fix it by twisting the wire so that...

I recently got the Grado SR125i. I am very impressed by them, I was wondering if I could get even more out of them. What is a good DAC+amp that I could get for around $100? I would be willing to spend a little more for exceptional quality/value. It would need USB or S/PDIF (coax or optical)...
