Asgard 3 what DAC and headphones? Had a JDS Element, first generation...It was flat. It produced tons of clean power but the power it provided was clinical, un engaging and not musical. It basically sucked all the life and fun out of the music. It taught me that I dont like analytical or...

What Im trying to see is if there is an issue with my setup or its just got a sound signature that I don't like. so currently I am running a full schiit stack, Magni 3, Mimby and an Eitr. Headphones are AKGK7xx, Beyer DT770 pro 80s and TH-x00 PHs. Its all run from my computer on win 10. Some...

I see a relatively fair amount of Fostex Th-x00 and Emu Teaks around since massdrop started selling them. They have 3 different TH-x00 woods, Emu has teak and sells a bunch of different wood cups separately , Lawton audio sells a lot of different woods and all for quite a bit of money. The Cups...

Everything's relative I have a pair of K7xxs right now and DT770s 80s. I was going to jump to some HD650s, maybe HE4xxs or something like that but now I'm thinking of skipping that all together and going with something like Aeon Flow Opens, Focal Elear/Elex, LDC-2cs maybe even something from ZMF...

I live in SE Michigan where there are roads here that are worse than roads in some 3rd world countries. A road can be relatively fine until it snows, the plows go through and the road turns to complete garbage. They tear huge chunks of concrete and asphalt out of the roads leaving a bunch of...

I have 500 dollars to spend on an amp and a dac. My initial thought is to get the Magni 3 and a Modi Multibit. For the money is there anything else I should be looking at?

I have an original JDS element, before they put in any external switches for inputs and outputs or auto switching. Aside from the aforementioned is there any difference from mine and the newer ones? Any differences in sound?

TL;DR Overall Im looking for a headphone that is on the warm side but maintains good clarity to replace some carbo Tenores. I would like the keep the budget around 100 dollars but could go as high as 200 for something truly great. longer story: I was looking at some reviews on the headphone...

I have a pair of Carbo Tenoes and I want to move up. I like their sounds but I coud use a little more base...so a bit warmer would be better...I like bass, Im a basshead but I also like clarity. I dont know there theyre are basshead IEMs in this price range that wouldn't muddle the mids and...

I have a set of Carbo Tenores and I really like their sounds..the problem is when I use the it feels like theyre going to pull my eardrums out with how much suction they generate. Now Ive heard you just cut off a bit of headphone tip and get it in between the tip and the body of the IEM it vents...

Looking at these 2 amps the Lake people has a pretty decent power advantage on paper, but honestly both will probably power most headphones to volumes far past sanity levels. Though the Lake people does have a clear advantage at the impedance goes up. So sound...Ive heard that the Magni can be...

Ive been looking at the Schiit Magni 2 uber, which would be followed by the Modi at some point and a little of the Audio-GD nfb15. These seem to be similar amps with similar price points. Maybe Im getting hung up on too much technical stuff so thats why I come here. First off the NFB15 seems...

Ive been looking at the Schiit Magni and a little of the Audio-GD nfb15 and it got me thinking, maybe there is a DIY option as well. The M2U puts 1.5w into 32 ohms and 320mw into 300 just a few. The Audio G is more powerful still....they dont have a 32 ohm measurement but it will do 3.5w into 25...

I currently have Beyer DT770 pro 80s and theyre great. I love the bass..however there are times Id like something with less recessed mids and clarity. Also I game a lot so I need more soundstage for positional audio. I have some money so I can spend probably up to 400..maybe a touch more. I...

As someone thats never heard an ortho before but is constantly tempted but the fantastic reviews and high price tags....what makes a planar "better" than a dynamic. Even better may not be the best word what can a ortho do that a dynamic cannot? Ive always been curious..I mean and eventually I...

Ok so I got a bit of money burning a hole in my pocket and Im getting the itch for a new set of headphones. I love my DT770s and I use then for everything from gaming, to music to watching netflix. I love the bass and they're fantastic with EDM and hip hop..for other genres though they're just...

Ive tried to go the cheap route up to this point but its no longer working. I had a 4 dollar clip on mic and I've been trying a 7 dollar Audio technica clip mic mic, which I thought should have been better, but its not. People cant hear me, they say I could far away etc etc. So I need a mic and...

You ever think about separating full sized headphones and IEMS in the classifieds like you do in the regular forum? I think it may be easier because usually people, I know I am, are looking for one or the other and having to go through a bunch of listings of either or can be a bit of a hassle. 

I currently have a Fiio E10 and I use it with Beyer DT770 pro 80s mostly. I'm always on the lookout for a nice pair of Sextetts though and at some point is like to try some orthos. For these I know the little Fiio will not be enough. So I'm considering getting a new amp and Ive been looking at...

This didnt work in the other forum so Im redoing it here. Im looking for a decent pair of IEMS. I had the monoprice 8320s and they worked well but they're starting to go bad and I want more bass. Ive heard the Wooduo pretty much fit the bill but some say they're are basically only good for bassy...

Im looking for a decent pair of IEMS. I had the monoprice 8320s and they worked well but they're starting to go bad and I want more bass. Ive heard the Wooduo pretty much fit the bill but some say they're are basically only good for bassy music and they're a little slow. Ive also heard that...

Ok so I think finally its time to get rid of my 8320s. I really like the should but they have started so shock me slightly on the right ear from some reason. Also Ive never really been able to get them to fit me ear right. Ive tried multiple different tips and its always the same thing. I can...

Ok so even since I got my DT770 Pro 80s the AD700s sit. I'm a basshead and I just like the bass better on the DT770s, plus the AD700s I never liked the way they fit. Too loose and just never felt like they were on my head good. Though even as a basshead I can appriciate these headphones, love...

So My laptop has always given me issues with the headphone jack. Ill plug in the headphones and 90 percent of the time when I unplug them it still thinks they're plugged in and I get no sound from the speakers, eventually it will come back but most of the time I want to use the speakers so I...
