So the ultrasone pro 900s will be no good either? That sucks because i was ready to pull the trigger on these. They have an impedance of 40ohm i believe, looks like I have maybe no option but the dt990 250ohm without buying an external amp.

Cheers fro the help guys. In regards to the headphones, judging by what you guys have read/heard which would be the best headphone for me (music - hip hop/rap and gaming) Please note I don't really want overwhelming bass!   DT 990 Premium (probably get 250ohm for my soundcard) Ultrasone...

Thanks for the replies guys. So there is no need for a headphone amplifier? I would have thought that the fotre/Xonar would be hard pressed to drive the DT990/600ohm for optimal sound? I was originally going to get a fiio e9k, but wanted to check with you guys first, I just really looking for...

Hey guys, I'm kinda new when it comes to high-end audio so please bare with me. Essentially this is my question, whats the best audio setup for my needs? Currently I have logitech z5500's sourced from my computer soundcard, Auzentech x-fi forte, however eventually I want to invest in some...

Thanks guys. Actually I did take my amp into the lab yesterday but didn't ask any of the guys for help regarding my issue. Using the desktop multimeter i found that there was significantly less voltage on the signal input pins on the right channel. I realized this was because i was using a mono...

It uses a 9v battery source, so just grab a 9V DC transformer (adapter). Then all you need is to grab a DC socket to use in your cmoy for the voltage source. You can also use two 9v batteries in series, so i guess you could grab a 18V DC adapter if you wanted, however this shouldn't make a...

Hey guys, A while back I made a cmoy which i could never get to work, now i have finally got around to rebuilding it since i have been studying electrical energy systems for my degree and though i would be able to get it working. Both times i have seemed to end with the same problem, there is...

I listen to rnb music the most but most of the rnb i like is hard to get quality files for, so usually its just 256kb mp3 or something. The main music i want quality for is alternative music like coldplay and move OST soundtracks (like craig armstrong themes). comfort is somewhat important...
