    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    For anybody else that has a Titanium HD, how big of a difference do you hear when switching the sampling rate from 48000 Hz to 96000 Hz?   I've noticed ever since I got my DT 880s a few years ago and actually increased the sample rate, and then even more so more recently when I upgraded to my...

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Does anybody know where to get replacement ear pads for these? My pair are already flaking after having them for less than a year.

    So, I got a Magni in to test with the TH600. Basically, it's very slightly clearer than the Lovely Cube I tried it with, but not a huge amount of difference. Comparing to the DT880, the DT880 sounds a little more processed/digital and hollow, but is a little more balanced. The TH600 does have a...

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Ehhhhh, I'm kind of iffy on it, and the amp's output impedance isn't exactly an ideal match for the TH600 so I'm not sure I'm hearing the headphones as they're supposed to sound. I'm basically looking at a Magni or O2 now as a cheap alternative to test since they're supposed to be pretty much...

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    No, I meant that I already have the Lovely Cube so the Rhinelander would most likely just be more of the same.

    [snip] Never mind my rambling. I'm just going to figure out what needs to be done.

    Quote: Straight out of the RCA line outs. It's pretty much been that way since I got it.

    So, I've figured out that either the Lovely Cube amp, or a combination of the amp and any non-Audio Creation mode on the Titanium HD, seems to be causing a weird blending/muffling of the lower frequencies on the TH600 (and likely also the DT 880 before it), making it sound kind of congested. I...

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Actually, I just noticed that it may be at least partially the fault of my sound card. I'm using a Titanium HD in my PC, and anything other than the Audio Creation mode seems to muffle or blend the low end frequencies a little too much. The TH600 could probably still use a better amp pairing to...

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Has anyone tried them with something like the O2, Schiit Magni or Asgard 2? Or am I hoping for too much by trying to find a sub-$250 amp?   Quote: Where do you go to buy amps like these? Their website only seems to have a shop for the Violectric products.

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Quote: Wouldn't that sound almost the same as the Lovely Cube, since the Rhinelander's supposed to be like a cut-down Lehmann Linear/Black Cube Linear and the Lovely Cube is a BCL clone?

    Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones

    Anybody know of a relatively inexpensive amp that would pair well with the TH600? I just received my pair yesterday and on my Lovely Cube they're sounding kind of congested or muffled. I unfortunately don't have the funds for something like a WA7 or WA6SE after splurging for the TH600.   At...

    [LIST][OPINION] Amp recommendations for Fostex/Denon Headphones.

    Ha... hahaha... Ugghhhh, I hate being obsessive about this stuff. I think I need to get a different amp. The best pairing I can get with this one and the TH600s seems to sound a bit "congested" (can't think of a much better term for it). I tried the various compatible op-amps I have for the...

    So, the TH600s came in today. Since someone on the Denon/Fostex amp recommendation thread said that my Lovely Cube should be fine with the TH600s on the lowest gain setting, and I got basically the same response from the seller/builder of my Lovely Cube Premium, I'm trying them together to see...

    The "Lovely Cube" Headphone Amp (Lehmann Black Cube Linear Clone)

    I just e-mailed him yesterday about a question I had for the pre-assembled Premium I bought from him back around Christmas of 2011, and he got back to me within the day. You might want to try just e-mailing him if you haven't already. I don't know if he's still making these or not since I didn't...
