THanks everyone... all the info I was interested in is here.

Hi all. I tried searching forums for an answer to this, but wasn't able to find what I was looking for based on the wording.   I just got my first DAC/headphone amp, the fiio e10k. Considering my wish to understand how everything works, I was curious what is the actual difference between...

Hahahahahahahahaha   Okay can we get serious now? *serious face*

What does that mean? Haha

I've searched and can't seem to figure it out. Is this spring on all high(ish) end headphones? M-50's are my first pair of decently nice headphones, and I was just wondering what the purpose is. (I am referring to the spring coming out of the metal stereo jack piece insulating an inch or so of...

Thanks for all the insight everyone! If they sound good now, and supposedly can sound better with proper burn in, i have a question to ask. At what volumes should music or pink noise be played to get good results? Louder than you would normally listen, or just average volumes?

What college things are you talking about? Cause I'm in college too hahah

I actually have put pretty much all of my "audio" spending money into my car instead of headphones and such. I was just saying that I use CDs in it and rarely my iPod. I don't think car audio is too hard to work around, it's just another case of audiophiles never being happy with "great", it has...

I might get that E7 eventually, but I've gotten almost unanimous agreement that the M50 benefit quite little from an amp so I'm just gonna get those for now.

And thanks Equus!

Quote: Thank you for all this! I have learned a lot of this information over the past few months, seeking out ways to get the best audio possible, and basically deleting most of my itunes and reimporting the CD's i have back into it. I basically replaced all of my old low bitrate mp3s to...
