Long or not,it somehow worked. I just realized how spoiled I've been with audio recently. A buddy of mine has some Sennheiser HD 595s. I used to have the same pair years ago. Anyway I recently got a Fiio E10 for $45 on craigslist. I was at his house and commentedbonbthe fact that we had the same...

I'm looking for the best possible small bluetooth DAC like this:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Bluetooth-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Music-Receiver-Adapter-Wireless-Speaker-/140832465874#vi-content   Is there any quality difference between this and a $50 one?   Which one is the best one to...

I have a Samsung Galaxy note which is a pretty good phone aside from the garbage GPU in it as well as the garbage DAC. I can put a hacked version of 4.1 Jellybean CM10 on it, but I need to know, will any portable usb DAC with an OTG cable work? I'm tired of garbage sound from it and I need...

Quote: I wasn't focusing on the beats as much as asking about their DAC setup lol Quote: Well, I'm not exactly new to Hi-Fi, I have pretty decent studio monitors hooked up to my computer's Auzentech X-Fi Home Theater HD analogue out, a Gallo Nucleus center for home theater use only...

That's kind of stupid when a decent DAC can be had for $80 or less, and a switch system can easily be rigged to simply switch the current to any pair of cans on the line up. Why wouldn't they want to have a nice amplification going to the headphones to sell better? They would gain a dumb...

Quote: How the hell does everyone think beats are the best headphones when A: the beats solo are worse than skullcandy cheap headphones (not even talking about the aviators which are pretty decent for the price) and B: the beats pro are $400..You can't charge $400 and be as bad as $50 or...

  I appologize for the garbage quality, my Sony 18-55 F3.5-5.6 lens is garbage, and my good 50mm F1.8 lens simply can't do a macro shot, so basically in that circle is where the female mini usb connector broke off when the device fell. I know it's a Yeti USB mic, so you guys probably won't...

You'd have to be pretty ignorant and judgemental to assume any $35 headphones can be anywhere near as good as $400 headphones. Your contemptuous feelings towards Beats aside, I know regular beats are garbage, but a $400 pair of beats pro? How the HELL can some $35 headphones sound almost as...

I ask this because I was listening to some $400 beats pro or whatever, and it sounded SO FREAKING BAD.   I recently spent $35 on a pair of cheap ass headphones which have extremely surprising quality for the price, but are not very comfortable, and they sound about as good as the $400...

Basically, I got some questions. Will a Fiio E7 work with any USB Host setup on Jellybean 4.1?   Also, I may be trying to build portable sound docks in the near future made probably from Fibreglass using high excursion small speakers with cheap smaller silk domes and a simple crossover for...

When you care more about THD % and despise your subwoofer setup in your car which all your friends think is amazing, just because it can vibrate your skull       These really are garbage subs. some ****ty Alpine type e 12's 250 watt RMS, 750watt peak each wired at a 2 ohm load to the...

They have pretty bad customer service, so I don't think I'll be getting any help or I'd have RMA'd it a long time ago. I have the worst luck with **** breaking. Funny how the service rep for Velodyne says the model of my subwoofer isn't supported anymore, go buy the new model, yeah, waste like 4...

Quote: I'm thinking probably the E17, to have coax and SPDIF as well as USB and line input. is this a good choice? because I'd love to use it to test Ipod docks I'm going to be building as a DAC/DSP/preamp as well.

Quote: Some people are way too brainwashed for that lol. even though my crossfade aren't top notch, people usually tell me they are the best headphones they've ever heard, even on a garbage iphone. but they would still get the beats over it, and pay 3 times the price.   I can't wait to...

Quote: Thankyou, I wish I could get a FLAC of that piano performance recorded on a good mic :3   but, most people don't hear the music like I do. it's kind of funny how melodic death metal on piano will sound better than beethoven if it's a good song.   And now I wish my Velodyne...
