What do you guys prefer for competitive FPS games like CS2? SXFi? SXFi Battle Mode? Scout mode? Or all off? Are HD800S still the king of competitive FPS gaming? Anyone ever compare them to the Denon D7000 for gaming?

So I still love my Denon AH-D7000 but it’s starting to show some signs of it’s age. The pads and headband all need to be replaced and I don’t know how healthy everything else is including the drivers since they’re about 10+ years old. I’m not the handiest person out there so I prefer not to...

Which do you guys think is a better DAC?  Ibasso D-zero with the wolfson8740 or HRT Music Streamer II?  This is for laptop USB play only, desktop setup no need for portability, matched to possibly matrix m-stage v2, and Denon AH-D7000.  Please feel free to offer any other DAC's in this price range.

Hi,   I been looking for a DAC & AMP to replace my old ibasso D2 Viper.  I really liked the sound of it with my Denon's but I broke it.  I've been interested in the Asgard as an amp for the Denon D7000's but my total budget is about $500 for both amp+DAC, and the BiFrost with USB is $450...

Hello, i currently own the ibasso d2 viper and thought my Denon D7000 sounded amazing through them compared to Fiio E5 and no-amp (my only experiences).  However, my D2's need to be fixed so I'm starting to look in to a new amp.  It doesnt' matter if its portable or fullsize, but I'd just like...

I'm a student who needs to bring speakers to school by airplane so I can't bring anything with a subwoofer.  So what is a good compromise that I can get good speakers with good bass that can get decently loud (music for one bedroom apartment with few friends over) without sacrificing space +...

So after hearing tons of headphones and owning a pair of Denon AH-D7000 headphones, I think those are the best sound out of any headphones I've heard maybe other than Sennheiser HD800's and I wanna be able to replicate that sound sig + qualities in a set of IEM's.   I listen to 80% Rock, 20%...

So my friend is on a very very tight budget and he's mainly using these for gaming late night since his speakers disturbs his family. So the biggest concern is comfort since we game for hours. He's really looking to spend $30 or less. He was about to go out and buy a set of Plantronics before I...

Hi all, my friend is looking for his first pair of high end headphones. The most important thing he wants is comfort and he thinks my Denon AH-D2000 are very comfortable (I agree ) Second most important thing is he wants something thats really clear, he felt my D2000's were a little bit...

I dont' really know much about building anything, but I do have a lot of supplies at work. I have the following at work and would like to know if you guys think its easy enough for me to build some quality interconnect cables. They'd be going between my DAP (samsung YP-T9) and Ibasso D2 amp/dac...

So my sister is looking for a dap and her budget is about $120 or less. She listens to mostly acoustic, christian music, acappela, and a little bit of pop. I already have a set of Shure E3C's that I thought were terrible because there was no bass at all and doesn't get loud. She might appreciate...

So here's the story; I'm in a rush to purchase a last minute valentines day gift for my gf. She just returned her Bose Triports because she compared them to my Super fi.5 EB and was totally let down by the Bose, while very impressed with the clarity, details, and bass of the EB's on her Sony...

As the title says, please help me find something that matches my criteria. Price range preferably $200 - $250. Used with: Denon AH-D2000 and Winamp, mostly 192 - 320 kbps mp3's & few FLAC (no amps or anything, still new to head-fi). Also have Steelseries 5H headphones w/USB soundcard but...

These earphones were really disappointing. They cost a lot and didn't even perform better than my friends UE .3 I'm using a Samsung YP-T9 and I have to turn the volume up to almost max to hear these things which totally distorts the sound to crap. I've tried all the different ear inserts forming...

I'm focused on finding the perfect headphones for music, hard rock, screamo, alternative, metal, pop, some rap, acoustic. I don't listen to any jazz or classical so unlike some audiophiles I'd rather get a strong lowend instead of that ultra crisp high end. But at the same time comfortable for...
