    Use auzen Prelude as your source? Using PC speakers also? How's your setup? (+using headphones w/ an xbox? no rcvr / z5500s)

    So yeah, as stated, I was wondering if there are any head-fi'ers that have an Auzentech Prelude as their source, as well as some PC speakers... and how you have it setup. Do you use an audio switch? dual stereo female to male stereo?(obviously having only one of them on at any given time, ie...

    Vista and Kernal streaming (prelude --> entech/amp) Remote control solution?

    Seeing as how I can't control the volume other than through my amp when I'm using foobar + kernel streaming, a remote wouldn't help me in this situation... Are there amps below $200 that have a remote or is that unheard of (unless it's a dac/amp combo perhaps?) Current amp is a MisterX...

    Vista, x-fi + foobar: How do you playback?

    ASIO seems to have been broken for sometime now in vista whether it's creative's driver or the foobar dll I don't know. Kernel streaming works long as I have no other sound going before I start playing, which is what it's supposed to do I know. My problem is I play games like WoW while I...

    Darth recabled Beyers... headphone cable extension?

    I've owned these zebra darth beyers for a few months now and I love them. My only issue is the cable is quite short, thus not allowing me to lay down in bed and listen to some tunes. I'm very noobish when it comes to cabling, but I assume I lose some quality if I just get some old mini jack...

    Cover finder recommendations?

    I did some searching on the forums but got a mess of results so I'm gonna ask this question :P What are some recommendations for a cover art program that can name the art folder.jpg among other things? I use foobar and I'm sure there is a plugin for this type of thing, but I'm not sure what...

    What do you do while listening?

    I just recently quit World of Warcraft, and honestly one of the main reasons I kept playing it aside from playing with my buddies, is that it is a great time to listen to my music without interruption and really enjoy it. All the while doing instances etc with friends. Just recently I got so...

    Vista + FB2k KS/ASIO disabling all other sound?

    I've always used asio/KS for playing back my audio in windows. I just started using vista, and I've got a problem. I can play my audio just fine, thing is, everything else I can't hear. Such as if I have Foobar open I can't hear the game sounds from WoW/chat/windows/videos. This is pretty...

    HD650, MisterX pimeta, Entech Number cruncher 203: What now?

    What would you all suggest be my next upgrade? Not anything crazy expensive. I was thinking a cable upgrade for the 650s? Or maybe a better DAC, although this one is very nice for having got it at $50 =D. Any suggestions welcome! ps. my soundcard is an x-fi.

    Headphones: Do your ears get red?

    I've always had a strange issue with my ears, where it seemed at random times they would get bright red and I could feel the blood pulsing through them. The only time I can pretty much guarantee that they will get red, is when I'm using open air headphones. I had no clue why. It's kinda...

    HD650: Amp under $300

    Just got these from a fellow member and I'm really diggin them. The sound is very smooth and less fatiguing than my DT770 pros and still have lots of bass, but I'd like to boost them a little more if I can afford it. I'm using a Pimeta amp. I know practically nothing about the technical side of...

    Right now I own the DT770s, but it's rough not being able to hear people knock on my door heh. So I'm looking for some opens. Can anyone recommend some cans around $200 that are certainly not lacking in bass but not bass heavy either?

    X-fi Asio and AC mode settings

    I've got ASIO working via creatives ASIO driver in foobar, but I notice all these settings in audio creation mode, next to the main volume bar for asio: Front L/R Rear L/R Front c/sub etc. Should only front L/R be lit up when using headphones? (x-fi-->number cruncher dac-->amp--> dt770)...

    DT770-PRO/80 and gaming: Amp required?

    I've been playing a lot of FPS with these cans and usually what I do is just plug them into my 5.25 bay that comes with my x-fi platinum and switch to gaming mode. Problem is, I get loads of distortion with loud explosions. I have a pimeta amp but it splits the output into 2 channels am I right...

    DAC, will it help me?

    I know you vets probably get sick of the newbies asking for buying advice but here comes another. I just recently purchased some DT770pro/80s with a pimeta amp which is great. I'm lookin toward the future at this point but I'm not sure what would be the next step. I'm on the fence about...

    ASIO(x-fi, foobar) and gaming

    Recently I switched from using Kernel Streaming to using ASIO output in Foobar. For some reason, ASIO sounds much clearer and brighter that KS was sounding. I am definetly sticking with ASIO. I run it in ACM, bit-matched playback with 44.1. Problem is, when I'm playing music with ASIO...

    DT770s: Right cup vibration?

    I have some brand new DT770pro/80s I've been burning in. On some songs with somewhat of a strong bass kick, the right cup has a little vibration noise, like something is loose. This can't be good. Is there a way for me to take off the cup to check it out?

    Foobar, KS, and EQ

    I'm using an x-fi platinum in ACM, bit-matched, 44.1. For foobar its using kernal streaming. Will the foobar EQ affect it the music at all? I'm pretty sure KS bypasses everything, but I just want to be sure. Atm I'm waiting for my pimeta to arrive to replace this tiny cmoy driving my...

    New DT770 pro headband?

    I just these cans, but after an hour or so I get the headband fatigue. I was wondering if there is some place I can get a better head band for these, seeing as the band thats on it now seems to just snap off.

    Earbuds that stay in my ear quest!

    So far besides the basic ipod earphones, I've tried this style as well http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...617560?ie=UTF8 My problem is, my ear canals are not normal shaped, or so I think. They are either really small, or they curve down. Those style of buds hardly even stay in my ear...

    Nub: Dt770pro/80 and amps?

    Currently I have a little $50 cmoy from misterx. Sadly, I'm not very wealthy so I'm wondering if there is anything that would be a decent upgrade under $150? Would a home pimeta be a good choice? Or is it recommended I wait for a lot longer and get a more expensive one (note: this would be a...
