I am trying to play a 24/96khz file through foobar2k. I am using ASIO output and am able to play 16 bit files successfully.   When attempting to play I just seem to get a low crackling noise. The files themselves are fine as I am able to play them through my onboard soundcard. Any help...

Can anyone advise me as to which amp would be best suited with Q701?   My options are  the Little Dot I+ 1+, MK II or the MK III.   Any help would be much appreciated. 

I was interested in purchasing a Little Dot MKIII for my Q701's,    However, I have heard tubes work well with high impedance headphones so wondered whether the two would be a good match or not. If anyone has had any experience with this setup then I would appreciate some advice. Any other...

How does this compare to the V-Dac II?

Would love to come along so if you add me and a +1 also that would be great. Still very new to this so don't really have much equipment to bring along! Will probably take my Q701's and E12 though. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I actually meant playing digital files from a computer as opposed to the CD player itself. What about the second question?

Another newbie question I know but I would really appreciate some help. I was wondering whether using a CD player would sound the same as using a computer if I was using an external dac and amp. Also, would I benefit from a more expensive CD player or would it sound the same as a cheap one as...

Thanks Duncan1. Will have a look now.

Thanks for the reply. Can you reccomend me any websites I can get the EH90/6CS6? Would be a big help.

Does anywhere know where I can buy these tubes in the UK? Thanks.

+1 on English Rain, really good album!

Favourites at the moment: Laura Marling Lead Singer of Daughter Lucy Rose Gabrielle Aplin All soooo good! Check them out if you haven't already:)

Oh my bad i was meant to say Q701 not K. My mistake. Does that make a difference?

Oh ok i hadn't looked on amazon. On the akg website the price quoted is £350. Seems like they have dropped the price alot

No i will be using these indoors only. I can't help thinking that the akg's being £150 more than the sennheisers means that they should be better. Can you confirm you have heard both and still prefer the hd 598's? Thanks for the response
