Hi heads, I currently have an older x-fi Fatality.  I use the toslink out to get sound to my HeadRoom Desktop Amp with a built-in DAC. I got Sennheiser 650s hooked into the amp via Zu audio cable.   I want to get a new soundcard that supports both 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, a mic, as well as...

The 95 dollars was for: that headband only (with the cheap piece of foam and plastic insert), me fixing it myself, and not including the shipping (which is ups ground and im sure that price is marked up too). UPDATE: Get this, If i send them my headphones, then its only 65 dollars +...

So the part they call the head band snapped (dont ask) and i need to get it replaced. It a very simple plastic piece. The phones, head padding, and another piece of plastic just slide and snap in. I called Sennheiser, and the piece costs 95 dollars (not including shipping)!!!!! I cant...

This is probably the simplest question for most of you. - I have a late 90's yamaha 5.1 receiver. - I have some Sennheiser wireless headphones - All my inputs are optical (CableBox + Media PC). Here's the problem: - If i simply use the headphone jack, I have to manualy turn off my...

Bump. Can someone please help me set this up right. Thanks again.

Hey head-fi'ers, I finnaly got a headphone amp to get the ultimate sound in the following order of importance: 1. Games 2. All other (Music, DVD, etc) The amp i purchased has the DAC built in so i was going to run a TOSlink optical cable to the amp's DAC. Questions: 1. What do i...

Thanks for the reply. I dont think it matters if you turn the HRD dac on or off for the specific test case. If you go optical out from your x-fi, thats a pure digital signal. The only way to interpret it would be using the DAC on the HRD. If you go analog out from your x-fi, then even...

Im sorry, but this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. It takes 5 minutes to send an email to someone to let them know whats going on. Quote: Originally Posted by SK138 I hope you get the resolution you are looking for soon. I been at this hobby for awhile now...

Are these headphones considered low impeadance or high impeadance? Thanks in advance

Well I called Zu today and they are going to send me a box with a return shipping label. I am going to send them my cable and headphones and they are going to make them snug for me. They are giving me good service so far. Well see how it goes.

I just spent 299 on a 4m cable for my Sennheiser HD650s and the v2connectors are a loose fit (especially the right). Ive seen a few threads talking about this issue and stuffing plastic straws was not the solution i was hoping for. Anyone have any suggestions???? Thanks in advance

I currently have a Sony ES series 5-disc changer. It think i paid around 300+ for it about 6-7 years ago. The quality of the sound is excellent compared to my 150 dollar cd player i had before that. Well recently the CD player stopped receiving remote control signals and it has to be...

Thanks for your reply everyone. Hey ralphp@optonline, I noticed in your profile that you are plugging your digital out from your x-fi card/console to the DAC in your Headroom. I am curious if you think that improves the sound. I have an x-fi fatal1ty. I was curious how the DAC in the...

In a game like battlefield 2, what can i expect from tubes in terms of: - ambient sounds - Firing a machine gun - the sound of footsteps - Large bass-y explosions Will more detail and more bass come from using tubes? Will tubes warm and soften up what sounds hard and crisp (may not be an...

What would a tube amp do for the sound of gaming. In particular, what would the machine guns in Battlefield 2 sound like coming though a tube amp versus a solid state amp. This is an amp i was considering: http://www.headphone.com/products/he...hybrid-amp.php Thanks
