...what happens to the sound if you use other settings in xfi for headphones other than 2.1 or "Headphones"?(like 5.1 and so on) I've tried and I think I notice a change in the soundstage,but I have no idea.

Listening to Eric Clapton's "Old Love" with these now...they are still not burned in,but they are already starting to compete with my adored Hd600,which comes really as a surprise for me.When I plugged them in for the first time I thought:"Oh God,I never learn! I'll have to sell these!" So I...

I just thought that somebody could be interested,not so many times these opportunities arise: AKG K1000 K-1000 High End Profi Kopfhörer K 1000 - NEU bei eBay.de: Ohr aufliegend, halboffen (endet 12.03.08 20:42:05 MEZ)

...the xfi xtreme music sounds very,very good via kernel stream in foobar? By good I mean much better than the EMU 0404,and I own both.

Hi all.I'm planning to get an amp for the Hd600,using as sources an EMU 0404 usb or an xfi xtreme music.I suspect that I'm not going to notice a huge difference,but I want to know for sure,and with my own ears.Thanks for your collaboration.

I'd like to know which of these five cables offer the best separation between voices,"air" between instruments and a sparky but not harsh treble,openness and sense of space. Thanks in advance for the help...

I value transparency,air between voices and soundstage above everything else.Is there anything for me under 400$?

...they were VERY harsh and painfully bright in the highs the first two days,but now they are becoming more velvety without losing airyness.I still have my HD 595,and I got to realize how really,really great are the new phones,but also how close to them the old ones are...still the openness and...

Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to connect the 0404 to the xfi,and what would the benefits...I'm not so sure still that the 0404 is clearly superior to the xfi xtreme music in SQ! The volume I get with the latter is about 1000 times higher than with the other,I really believe that It...

I love the sound of this card,my 595s never sounded smoother or cleaner,but when I listen to music through foobar the playback suffers from small interruptions if I'm using the internet or typing.Does anybody know what might be the cause for this? I'm using EMU ASIO,just for your information...

I'm not asking about the old 120 ohms and the new ones,but about different sound signatures among them.I've noticed that some people say that they're bass shy and bright,and others,like me,think that they're warm and bass heavy. Is this due to real differences or to differences in taste and...

Having upgraded from an xfi to a 0404,I'm also in search for the right full size cans.I currently own HD 595,but although quite decent,they're not up to the performance I'd like...that means for me that they are slightly muddy and they lack some air between the voices.The soundstage is nothing...

I don't know if this has been answered already,but I'd like to know which are,in your opinion,the full sized cans closer in sound signature and balance to ER4s.Thanks...

One of the double bass players in my orchestra,and great photographer as well(RSO on tour,http://photography-on-the.net/galler...13&ee_lang=eng) made me the great favor of letting me keep his hd 600 and 650 for a day at my place to compare them with my 595s.My source is a modest x-fi(which,by...

Hi all...I've thinking about upgrading my x-fi xtreme music,and many of you guys have convinced me that DAC is the way.Now,do you have suggestions about inexpensive DACs that would make a clearly audible difference over the sound card? When I say inexpensive,I'm thinking about 350 $ maximum...

Hi.I currently own HD 595s as my main cans,and although I like them in general,it would be interesting to know if I'm missing something by not trying higher Senns,like 580 or 600.Who thinks that would be a significant upgrade? My amp is ldm+...

Hi all.I'm new to this crazy hobby of headphones,and I've noticed that equalization is kind of taboo here...that's my impression at least.I don't have the greatest hi-fi equipment on earth,but my HD 595s,good as they are,sound an awful lot better when i put my x-fi equalizer to play.I don't get...
