Major static in older Audioengine A5s (audio attached)
For no clear rhyme or reason, my Audioengine A5s have started to emit the background noise that you can hear in the M4A enclosed in the attached ZIP file (recorded with the iOS Voice Memo app). It persists even without any audio input and even if I've unwired the second speaker (i.e., only the...- dudebrah

"Normals" 3D printed IEMs - anyone tried them?

Using Audioengine A5s but even 5% spkr vol is too loud. Suggestions?
I've hooked up Audioengine A5s to my new PC and they're just way too loud. For some reason I didn't have this problem on my Mac, but now with Windows 8.1, no matter whether I plug them into the on-board sound, my ASUS Xonar DG soundcard (back or front-panel), I need to keep system volume at...- dudebrah

looking for portable headphones/earbuds that are wireless
Update: Got the SOL Republic Tracks AIR wireless. Tried them on my commute today and definitely returning them. Was losing connection from my phone, which was in my pocket. Maybe indoor these would be fine (I found the ear pads too warm though), but it seems that the connection is too wonky...- dudebrah

Low (and I mean low - 6" height) profile subwoofer?
As you can see in the attached pic, I'm hard up for space to put a subwoofer. I'd really not have to remove the black shelf and I've read that putting the sub behind the wall isn't ... ideal. Any ideas/product suggestions?- dudebrah

"Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review
I couldn't find this anywhere: are the Alpha Pads the same as last year's Dog Pads upgrade just rebranded? Or is this the 2nd version- dudebrah

Figuring out bitrates, downsampling, ODAC, O2 and OSX
Quote: K - found it and changed both the ODAC Input and Output (pictured) to 96khz, 24bit. Volume sensitivity drastically improved. No distortion -- but why do I have the distortion on the 44/16 FLAC? Will I have to change this setting back and forth between 44/16 and 96/24 each time I...- dudebrah

Figuring out bitrates, downsampling, ODAC, O2 and OSX
Hi everyone, I'm sorry for such a noob question (I spent a while searching the forums / wiki, Google but haven't come up with anything on point, which makes me think it's so fundamental I'm just coming across as mentally challenged): I've got some 24/96 FLAC files and trying to put...- dudebrah

MrSpeakers Mad Dogs w/Dog Pads amp comments and recommendations
Hey all, I just got rid of my Denon Dk7s and got a set of MrSpeakers Mad Dog w/Dog Pads. I tested them out using my FiiO E9/E7 combo -- they're pretty good, but I have the feeling they're distorting at significantly lower levels than maybe they should be. I've been using Spotify Premium...- dudebrah

Fischer Audio FA-003 vs Ultrasone HFI-780
Just got the Ultrasones from Amazon ($150) .. they're pretty great. But a friend turned me onto the Fischer Audio FA-003s -- I don't have the chance to try them on, so I'd be buying them sight unseen. Any insight would be great! Thanks :)- dudebrah
