Was looking through the daily Newegg deals and saw MX160 for $8 free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106234&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL010411&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL010411-_-EMC-010411-Index-_-HeadphonesAccessories-_-26106234-L018A   What are some other options for cheap...

I'm getting back into the head-fi business after a 2 year hiatus. I've so far gotten a Nuforce uDAC-2 for use out of my laptop, outputting to Klipsch 2.1 Promedia speakers. I also decided to buy the Fiio E5 on eBay just because it was so cheap. My friend has the same setup and his speakers...

Is the search feature exclusive to only the 5.5G iPods? Or can the older 4G or 5G iPods get a firmware update to use it? How about the Nanos? Thanks!

*Sigh*... After a year of quitting the head-fi addiction, I am back again. I used to own Grado SR-60, Sony 7506, Sennheiser 497, and Audio Technica A900 (upgrading slowly). Sold them all since, and now my scrappy Koss KSC-75 (kramer modded) have been serving me well off my Echo Indigo along...

My volume knob broke in two and I need to glue it back on the axis. Has anyone ever tried opening the Echo? It's snapped together, and I'm worred about messing up anything that's delicately put together.

Hi all, I'm stuck between an Indigo card and Audigy NX. I know Indigo is leagues better than Audigy, but hear me out. I'm mainly using my Klipsch Promedia 4.1 speakers out of my IBM T42. So if I were to use an Indigo, I'd have to use a splitter for the system to work, and that would worsen...

I got in on the Dell deal of Shure E3c for $90. For that price it was really an impulse-buy. I already have a pair of modded A900 and PocketAmp 2 (great combo along with Av-710). So my question is this: In all senses, is it an upgrade from A900s to E3c? I never tried canaphones before, but...

I'm really split between the two. The I5 is a little larger, uses 1 AAA, wider & color-changing screen. The U2 is a little smaller, uses lithium ion, one-color & smaller screen. Both have about the same sound quality. Both can play OGG (I think). Both have the handy mini-USB to USB...

Do amps perform better when plugged through the RCA inputs? I'm not sure whether I should get an amp with RCA inputs or just a Line-In. My AV-710 uses a Line-out, so I would need to get an RCA adaptor which would probably degrade the sound.

I'm debating about getting a sub $100 amp for my AV-710, but I'm also interested in the Prodigy LT's built-in amp, especially as it offers better gaming support than the AV-710 (I think). I use Audio-Technica A900's and Klipsch Promedia 4.1, so I don't want to move to EMU-0404 since I would lose...

Bummer. I'm living in downtown Atlanta with my Audio-Technica A900's plugged into the AV-710's line out (hi res mode) and I'm picking up radio signals through them. Very faint, but very annoying when I'm listening to soft music. Is there anyway to remedy this?

I know a lot of you guys say the Audio Technica A900's don't need an amp, but coming out of a Chaintech AV-710 on 24/96 hi res with a correctly configured Foobar2000, there's hardly any audio definition. I don't like the sound coming out of the normal green jack either. So which amp would...

I'm debating about changing my current AV-710 out. I recently got a pair of A900s and they sound underpowered coming out of the 7/8 jack with hi res mode enabled and Foobar set to upsample to 96000hz with 24-bit padded to 32-bit. I learned that I need an amp to help the card out, but then I...

I just got my A900s a few days ago. First I tried plugging them directly to my Chaintech AV-710's high quality output jack (the black one called 7/8 jack) and used Foobar to play at 96000hz and 24bit padded to 32bit with Kernel Streaming. It sounds very anemic compared to the normal output jack...

I can't stand my new roommate's music or ceaseless self-boasting, so I'm looking for a nice way to escape all that noise. Anyways I need some cans that isolates well and sounds good. Currently I have KSC-35's and I used to have a Sony V6, so I'm familiar with their sound. I kind of like the...

Hey guys, I really love the sound quality coming out of my AV710's digital out using high-sample mode (96Khz) with foobar2000 with kernel streaming, high resampling, encoding (the works from Mr. Radar's Installation Guide). Unfortunately this supports no higher than 2.1 systems. I'm using...

I can't get this card to work correctly in 4.1 for the life of it. The only game I got it to work in was GTA Vice City. Farcry, Counter-strike, gunbound, etc. would only play sound in 2.1 no matter what I do to the audio settings. In the Audio Deck (1.43d drivers), Speaker Config is 4...

Sorry about sounding n00bish, but can someone explain how to use 2 sound cards at once? I'm using an AV710 and I was searching for a solution to issues with the sound in games and I read that people here use the AV710 for music and Audigy2 for games. I also have an onboard Soundstorm, but...

I followed Mr.Radar's setup guide (http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=75655) closely, and I got the music going soon afterwards. The problem is that whenever another sound comes up (IM sound, Windows sound effects, etc) the music just cuts off, but it's still "playing" in foobar...

I want to buy a nice flash mp3 player with Firewire2.0, and the Muvo TX gets my top choice. However I can only find the 256 mb version... anybody know when we'll be able to buy the 512 version?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=11024 I've never heard of them before, but the ebay link gives a nice first impression. Can any one comment on them?

My first generation 5 gig ipod's menu button is really wearing down. When I press it in the middle it does not register a click. Only when I press it on its right edge (and with a lot of force) will it register. I'm thinking this is due to dirt and oil buildup under the button, but I may be...

Recently I've been using my Ipod a lot lesser than usual, and it's been connected to the wall AC charger for almost 2 days. I was wondering if this is unhealthy for the unit or not.

You guys think there will be a significant price drop to warrant holding off buying a Rio Karma, Nomad Zen Xtra, or Iriver IHP-120?

I've been searching a lot of forums on how to do this, but I just found bits and peices of info that don't add up. I just want to be able to store files (images, documents, movies, etc) to the Karma, and then be able to transfer the files onto another computer. Is this possible? I'm pretty sure...
