    Asus Xonar U7 DAC/AMP Impressions Thread

    Alright, well at any rate, the U7 is still creating a low tone buzz periodically now.  How do I go about fixing that?  This wasn't always happening.  It just started the other night.  Should I just get it replaced under warranty, try a reinstall, or what?

    Asus Xonar U7 DAC/AMP Impressions Thread

    So I've owned my Xonar U7 for a week now.  Nice little thing, but...I've noticed a bit of an issue surface today.  I was using it to output 192 KHz sample rate at 24 bits for the past week and just today, I've detected some low buzzing noises periodically from my headphones.  At first I was...

    Sennheiser HD518 HD558 HD598 HD559 HD589 HD579 HD599 Support Thread

    Alright!  That answers my question perfectly.  Thank you for your input.  I'll keep my little FiiO around for portable use and resort to the U7 for home usage.  Going to go ahead and place the order now.

    Sennheiser HD518 HD558 HD598 HD559 HD589 HD579 HD599 Support Thread

    Okay, so I have a pair of HD598 now and I bought a FiiO E06 to couple with its delivery.  Something I've noticed is that my on-board sound is not too happy with my new combination of the HD598 and the FiiO.  It gets a bit hissy when I have the FiiO turned to higher volumes and what I really want...

    I personally do not use security software, as the best security and anti-virus is you, the user.  If I ever run into an issue however, I keep Emsisoft Emergency Kit and Malwarebytes around just in case.  For my clients, I give them Trend Micro or Kaspersky.  For Remote software, I too am an...

    The Official 2D Fighting Game Thread

    Wow, I'm surprised to see such a thread here.  I enjoy playing fighting games quite a bit.  I'll hop on GGPO by request to play Super Street Fighter II Turbo or KoF '98.  Other than that, as far as 2D goes, I enjoy mainly Melty Blood, KoF, and Yatagarasu.   If we go into 3D fighters, however...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hello!  I came here to finally figure out once and for all what pair of headphones I would throw my money at on Black Friday, but I think I'll stick around because this seems like a really neat place.  I work in IT, particularly specializing in hardware and security, but I can always look into...

    Black Friday is coming... (The Battle of The Sennheisers)

    I've done more research and consulted more people.  I've managed to narrow my options down even more.  I don't use amps or dedicated soundcards.  Everything's integrated into hardware for me, which some may consider cheap stuff because companies do like to cut corners for both their consumers...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    My listening tendencies are all over the place...                       And this is what I woke up to:

    Black Friday is coming... (The Battle of The Sennheisers)

    What do I think of the ZX300s...  Well, they're easily the best headphones I've had to date.  They're also the only I've had and going off of reviews, it's very clear this isn't as good as it gets.  They're about mid-ranged in audio quality.  A cut above the stuff that the untrained ear prefers...

    Black Friday is coming... (The Battle of The Sennheisers)

    I like clear, crisp sound with vibrant mids.  I can't dislike something I haven't experienced before.  I have ZX300s, not 700s.  700s are actually one of the candidates for my new headphones.   Hmm, you could say I have virgin ears, really.  I've only really experienced the sound offered by...

    Black Friday is coming... (The Battle of The Sennheisers)

    Alright, so I've been back in the work force again finally and with Black Friday coming up, I've decided I'm going to celebrate significant income returning to my bank account.  I think it's time that my long-running Sony MDR ZX-300s see some peace and relaxation, perhaps a pass down to my...
