As the title suggests, I'd like a connector like this: https://www.thomann.de/gb/pro_snake_dmx_adapter_male_female.htm Except that I'd like it attenuated with resistors. The purpose of this adapter is to eliminate some background buzzing that I hear from my HD800s when I connect them to my...

Just had a wonderful meet here of some long-time Canadian GTA members. Lots of great equipment and people were in attendance.   IMO, the most impressive setup was the AKG K-1000 (bass-heavy version) being run off an Audio-GD Reference 1 DAC with Pricklely Pete’s mods, and powered off an...

The following is a compilation of my thoughts/impressions of the HE-5 that I posted in the huge HE-5 initial musings thread, but it got swallowed up there. I thought it may be more helpful if I made a separate thread for it. Equipment Used: Foobar WASAPI → Teralink-X2 USB/SPDIF Converter →...

Is there somewhere I can get a (preferably high quality ~ BJC level) splitter that splits a dual RCA output to 2x dual RCA. Basically I want to feed 2 things with one stereo RCA output.

Am I seeing this right? Amazon.com: Audioengine A5W Powered Bookshelf Speaker System - White Finish: Electronics Oh and if you have an Amazon Visa card you get them for $69USD. Unbelievable.

i'm curious about something. the pro version of the DT990 have a small circular cutout in the middle of the earcup while the surrounding circumference is encased by a plastic ring. basically, the only open part of the DT990 Pros is the punched out 1 inch hole in the middle. i'm wondering if the...

the thread title says it all. i just want to know which is the more powerful amp (not better). i'm just curious and this should be a quick answer for those who've calculated/know already. assume the M^3 a typical one set to 24V.

In my 4 years on Head-fi (2 as a reader, 2 as a member), i've never looked into DACs because i've been a computer-as-a-source guy. i've tried searching but haven't come up with definitive answers to my question like i have for headphones/amps. so i'm here to ask the pros. i basically want a...

i tried to search for this, but whatever came up was not what i was specifically looking for. i know a bit about amps, but i'm sure there are people here that know much much more, so i'm here for help. 1) i'm looking for a solid-state home amp for the DT990/HD650 (better than my current...

wrong thread.

i'm going to keep this comparison as compact as i can... all the headphones and amps used are listed in my sig and i did not use any crystallizer, dolby, eq's or any other dsp effects. the treble and bass settings were set to default values of 50% for both cards. the music i used was all...

now i usually listen at low volumes but sometimes get the urge to twist that volume pot a bit for a more energetic experience. i noticed, however, that both the dt990 and the proline 750 start sounding boomy at high volumes. i'm referring ofcourse to the bass. i'm not sure why this is and i'd...

title says it all. i was listening to music and i noticed that there was floor noise/background hiss. i isolated it to be the amp (as opposed to the soundcard). it's strange because just yesterday even at max volume the background was completely black. now when i turn the volume pot past the...

so i've been using my d2 for a year now and i love it. i have the latest firmware (2.57). i just bought a patriot 8gb class 6 card: (NCIX.com - Buy Patriot Signature Line 8GB SDHC Secure Digital High Capacity Class 6 Flash Card - PSF8GSDHC6 In Canada.) now the problem: i can't find any of the...

i posted these impressions in another thread but it got overshadowed by other posts so i thought i might as well make another thread. some people have asked me for this comparison through pm's so instead of answering those individually, i'll post my impressions publicly. the beyers were...

hey guys i'm having some trouble adding my media to the foobar library. i go to options and media library, and then add the folders i want to be in my library. i press scan. and save all and exit the preferences menu, but my library still doesn't show up in my playlist. what's the deal? i...

straight out of the box, i'm impressed. coming from the dt990, the bass is a bit better, it's "bigger" sounds more speaker-like. and yes i already notice the s-logic effect. it's subtle but i like the soundstage this pulls off, although it's more compressed and congested compared to the dt990...

just got these and before burn-in i have to say i'm pretty impressed with how good they sound for the price ($16 USD total). they immediately reminded me of the dt990s, as they have a similar bright freq response and nice clarity. i would say they perform about 75% as well as the beyers in...

which one of these is best for my dt990 pro? i want 3 things: 1) this one's important. i want to reduce the high end sharp treble (smooth it out, since it fries my ears sometimes with certain songs if i'm not using an eq) 2) bring out the midrange if possible. 3) and the last criteria...

recently i made a post about how the hd650 compared to the dt990s and people were very helpful and active in their responses. it gave me a very good sense of the differences between the 2 cans. i want to get a similar comparison going here with the hd650 and the pl2500/pl750. if anyone has...

which one of these 2 amps is better? comparing bass, treble, midrange, (especially interested in bass), and power (to drive 250 ohm fullsize cans). i saw the review by skylab, but he doesn't do a direct comparison between the hornet M and the Move. please, any help/comments would be appreciated.

the title says it all, what do you guys think are the differences? people who own both, or atleast have tried both? list anything that's different about their sound, comfort, build quality, value for money etc. (mainly interested in sound though). i'd also like to hear which one you prefer and...

i'm planning to get a closed set of cans with better bass than the dt990s, so i've set my eyes on the pl750. i'm wondering though, do these cans distort at high listening volumes with bassy songs? i feel if the volume is bearable, no audiophile headphone should distort. but, having said that...

delete this thread, wrong section.
