So my pc puts out digital signal (toslink) to  a coaxical/optical converter, which goes to my Sugden au51 dac. From there 2 xlr cables to my Nano Patch, to the hs80m's, connected with trs cables. Unbalanced. Since today I noticed that when the volume on the Nano Patch is totally off I can still...

Well, no not really fight. But you get it.  I've been a/b-ing a bit and fairly sure my new Clip+ sounds more tight, has more impact, better mids, no bass roll of, etc. However, this could be 'all' in my head.  I've also been looking around a bit and found this:  Also, found this...

Ladies and gentlemen it is time again, for a new one! After the RS2, SR80, ESW9, ESW10jpn, M50, PRO900, SHP9000, SHP5400/1 etc I'm keen to get my hands on a new portable HP. I have my eye on the heavily praised ATH ES55, it seems perfect for my needs. However, I wonder how it would hold up...

Hi guys, I'm wondering if I can use this DAC to hook it up to my pc. I am not tech savvy at all, and I reckon the lot of you are ;-). I was/amlooking at a Dacmagic, but since I have this one (and its possibly better) I wonder if I can hook it up somehow to my pc to hook it up to speakers. I...

So I'm starting this rather specific topic, since I haven't found the answers to this comparison, yet. I know that the P3+ is relative to the opamps etc used, but I'm sure one could still compare this amp to the tier 1 amps. Anyone want to share their ideas? I'm about to pull the trigger on...

So my Ultrasone Pro 900 is in the for sale forum, due to dark sound, which I'm not very fond of. I'll keep it short and simple for once: -Sparkling and transparent sound -Full mids -Tight and deep low-end Preferably without amp, straight from my D2 Thanks guys, I'm in need for info

Hi, So i've been around these forums for a while now and the Head-Fi bug has struck again, I need a new DAP. I came to the conclusion when I really got annoyed by the D2's GUI. I kind of dislike Ipod for it's sq, but at least they know how to make a nice, sleek and easy GUI...never mind the...

- Hi, I'm literally spinning... I've read numerous thread and websites about the topics in the title^. Could someONE please, for once and for all, enlighten me (and others) on the subject of using an amp through HP out signal/line out signal...What are the myths and what is actually true...

Would you take the ATH-ESW9s or the (buttonless) Grado RS2s...? I'm really interested to know why

Which one would you recommend, I'm on the move a lot so I'd like to have a very good portable amp to get some synergy going between them. I've read that the Pico's dac part is better than the Predator's dac, and the amp part vice versa... More punch etc. Now, I'm only interested in the amp...

Basically the title says it all, really...which one shall I choose? I'm an all-round listener, with a focus on rock. I could get the at's with a nice amp or the RS2s without...

Seriously though, this website can make a man crazy due to choice overload. I'm on the verge of going nuts! There's basically too much choice, sound signatures, brands ...sigh... and I want to understand, study and search everything, before my next cans will be purchased. You probably get it...

I'm a proud owner of a SR80, quite new to the whole audiophile scene and eager to spend a lot more money to this hobby/addiction. It truly is. I thought it would be interesting to start a thread about (hopefully not sticky somewhere, or previously started?) defining the signature sounds of...

Right so I have posted here before about which amp/dac to get. I'm confused about the use of DAC (for instance the 2Move). I have my laptop connected to my Logitech Z-5500 set through optical/spdif. I wonder if I could the connect the DAC to my HP laptop and the Logitechs, since I have a...

Since today I've started to get mesmerized by the wonderful world of portable amps! I knew about them before, but never really got interested in them until I got my hands on the Grado SR80's (a fair pair of cans)... And what the potential could be in combo with the Cowon D2! Right, so my budget...
