debian + fluxbox on my laptop.   Win7 for gaming on my homecomputer.

I only read the first few postings. I've a question regarding the opening post: Quote:   isn't the advantage of digital media to have low crosstalk? And one would be lucky to reach someting < ... dB   i'd say   Vinyl drawbacks are IMHO: -high crosstalk, you'll be lucky if...

Quote: if this is true, the DT770 Pro is definitely the wrong choice.

it is impossible to hear a difference for there is none.   stick with level 5 compression. level 6 or higher will take much longer but will only save you some few kilobytes.   one more time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless "Lossless data compression is a class of data...

someone correct me if i'm wrong:   if your phones won't end a note if it has ended on the record, there's something seriously wrong. (if your speakers do the same, this might be a serious flaw with your room)   ontopic: what hinders you to go for the k501 again?

yeah, peetrain, put that way i came to think about it the same way. However, at first i thougth that their not expensive any way, why would one want to fake them. but yes, the v6 are well known for a long time, they are pretty "famous" ... thanks for your posting. in the meantime my V6 from...

double posting, srz

it's a little tricky to buy a v6 in germany. amazon.com wont ship this item, the usual german online vendors won't have it in stock. however i found one on ebay shipped from austria (and have bought it even before starting this thread). i'm nevertheless curious on the chinese offer. thats...

were there imitaded v6 in the marked already? if i'd be in the position to fake phones i would'nt go for the v6 but rather would try on a more recent product. was faking products "common" in the 80s and 90s? hmm the price and the crap pics look suspecting to me.

noone?

Is this offer legit.? or can someone identify it as a remake? i don't think its likely to fraud a V6 but the price is incredible. curious for comments regards

    Quote: more important is, that sound will also leak in. If you want to concentrate on gaming an can hear the birds sing outside, that may disturb you and you should know this before you buy a k601.     On the question if amping is necessary or not (this is just my opinion...

if you plan to use the 601 on LANs or in any environment which is not quiet, remember it is an open headphone and thus will let you hear anything around you as well. If that doesn't bother you, the K601 is more than sufficient (overkill) for gaming and i incredibly like it for vast types of...

i second you with the sansa fuze. look for (an old) or wait for a new stable release of rockbox for the fuze and get everything you'll ever need (including custom fonts). there are builds for the v2 (that is there were builds for the v2 but they got removed from the page. however there...

Your post, oldsoulrevival, would perfectly describe the situation I was in when I had to choose a headphone for myself. After listening to headphones (the AKG K-271 and some beyers, 770pro, 880pro and 880 2005 edition) in my favourite stores fore quite some time, my decision fell on the AKG...

Quote: a headphone amp would be the next thing and then some headphones correct? wrong. your most important thing in the chain is the transducer - your headphone. There are people who doubt that there are differences from one amp or one dac to another (if the device is not...

There you can find a comparison with the Corda Opera. The Opera is regarded to be of better quality than the Cantate so this might help you.

If you listen to a bit perfect copy of a music file there is no difference regardless wether the file was created with this or that software. The X Lossless Decoder should (that statement is based on googled information - i've never used the software myself) produce good, that is accurate...

is it requiered to use the Ibasso D10 with be battery OR can I use it with just the power supply unit, skipping the whole battery thing?

I'm intrested in the very same question as well! Of particular interest for me is the "general opinion" that desktop gear should outrank any portable gear by far. So that would clearly put the Travagan white in front of the Ibasso, especially considering their equal price. However I#m not sure...

any chance of getting the dt150 to sound the way they should do, however using no amp but only an audio interface? 250 ohms seem realy a lot to me, but this would be my first headphone, so i have no comparison to these value. would be realy helpfull if you could answer this properly, thanks!

well... my answer might ( ) be a bit late, but anyway if some folks realy use the forum-search and need a solution for this problem: The skipping while playback is often due to a weak supply with energy (a further indicator might be that you are using a mainboard with nvidia chipset) USB...
