Hi I will be moving into an apartment at the end of the summer and i was wondering what types of sound proofing to get, where to place them, and also optimal positioning of speakers. I will be using 2 audio engine 5+ active monitors and the audioengine S8 active sub. linked are images of my...

Hi i have a budget of lets call it $600 and that is pushing it, i may be able to up it to $7/800 but lets try to not go much over 6. im moving into my dorm which is about 11'x12' and 7'-9' tall. (Due to neighbors i was told that i should just get 2 speakers like the paradigm shift a2's, the...

so i have a fiio alpen 2 and it has a 0db +6db or +12db gain as well as a volume knob.  Im using it with both my shure se215 and my philips fidelio x2.  im pretty sure i dont need extra power but sometimes i want the music louder and even on max volume without the amp its not loud enough. Im...

ive been googling for a while now and found a bunch of threads on the e17 but i cant find one for the e17k. Can i use the e17k as an amp and dac for my iphone 5s, and if so what cables do i need. Also if i am using the e17k with the micro usb cable to attach to my macbook pro mid 2010 will it...

Im brand new to amps.  I cant decide between the e10k and e17k, i would like to be able to use them as a dac/amp on my mid 2010 macbook pro as well as my iphone 5s with a philips x2 and if possible my shure se215. Ive been seeing that people say the e10k has better sound quality especially in...

one more question, while the main intent for these headphones is for pleasure would these also work for mixing/mastering (im not a professional by any means but would these headphones work for some amateur mixing and mastering and making tracks for fun)?

thx I'm completely new to amps so when he kept talking about coax lines, dsd, and toslink I had no idea what he was talking about. I cant decide between the e10k and e17k, i would like to be able to use them as a dac/amp on my mid 2010 macbook pro as well as my iphone 5s. Ive been seeing that...

If i get the phillips x2, on amazon they are $290 that leaves me $110 at the most to buy an amp, is that necessary is it helpful should i even consider an amp or just completely forget the idea.

thx one clarifying thing do u mean that the dn2000 compete with $500+ IEMs     Notice: would closed headphones be better for a punchy booming bass, that is still fast and controlled than IEMs, cuz my shure 215s are pretty solid as far as IEM and i think i would like a full size headphones if...

thx for the info, btw do you have any suggestions of IEMs or headphone setups for a budget of $300 with a cap at $400

im not just looking for IEMs its just that they dont necessarily need amps, if you guys have suggestions for headphones please tell me, but if they need an amp remember my budget, but that is a good point about the detail though, but i can definitely hear a difference between muddy slow bass and...

im new to iems so not sure how they measure my ear?

Thx for the suggestions these look promising, but i cant seem to find a seller of this model.   also how does the whole custom fit work, like how do they "measure" my ear?
