    Somewhat disappointed by the HD 598's

    Quote:   IMO You can't begin to judge a headphone such as the 598 without a proper source and amp.  Such headphones are not meant to be plugged straight into your mobo.  :)  The difference between an outboard DAC/AMP (I've tried a couple) doesn't even compare to my onboard audio, or even...

    M50x's mid range more recessed than the M50's?

    Tyll reviewed the M50x.  http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/legend-continues-audio-technica-ath-m50x   On page 2 he said     The 3rd page you can see his own measurements of the M50x which you can compare to the his measurements of the M50 here. ...

    [GUIDE] NEWB guide to Bit-Perfect Linux audio.

      Ok, I get you, thanks.     As a Slackware user I've never had to install it.  I'm guessing PulseAudio-by-default distros have all of the media/audio players in their repositories compiled to support it, but again I don't want beginners to have the wrong impression.  Even in those...

    [GUIDE] NEWB guide to Bit-Perfect Linux audio.

      Could you go into more detail about PulseAudio being "lossy"?  I don't find support of that anywhere.  The closest I got was this post on Computer Audiophile but the maintainer comment that's linked to is dead...

    Senal SMH-1000 vs. Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506: A Tale of Stolen Swagger

    I'm glad I could help!  That's really a shame to hear about the potential retirement of those classic headphones.  I did find it peculiar I couldn't find them anywhere on Sony's website.

    Senal SMH-1000 vs. Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506: A Tale of Stolen Swagger

    Introduction   The SMH-1000 is a headphone that not only looks almost exactly like the MDR-V6/MDR-7506, its physical design has been improved in a few subtle ways.  The sound signature of the SMH-1000 is in fact rather different to my ears than the Sony offerings and I think that for casual...

    Lossless for regular CDs?

    Quote:   If I could listen only to FLAC files I would, but my cell phone doesn't support its playback and my MP3 library is much larger.  Luckily, to my ears a well-encoded MP3 is almost indistinguishable from its FLAC counterpart.  I do however like having as many songs as possible in...

    Quote: I'm glad setting the module parameter worked for you. Designating a default device might get more complicated if you add a second device that uses snd_usb_audio.   Volume Icon seems like a good replacement for volwheel. I was able to create a new volume control and Volume Icon...

    Reply to review by 'cheapous' on item 'FiiO E10'

    Thanks a lot for the review. What you described about the bass boost feature of the FiiO E10 really hit home for me. I find that it overly darkens music when paired with the Creative Aurvana Live's, which I think have significant bass to begin with. However, I appreciate the weight they had to...
