I found a pair of Monsoon speakers on the bin wall. They may or may not work, and I only found the two satellites. In addition, the two satellites are terminated in 4 pin din connectors. I guess I have to convert that to RCA or PHONO jack. Any tips on that? Do you think it's worth it trying to...

I'm looking at relatively clean, balanced headphones with strong build quality, comfort and good isolation for around ~50. I think the DUNU Ares or the MEElectronics A151  fits the bill, but I'd love to have your thoughts 

Thanks. I was not aware of that policy. If someone will close/delete this, I'll move to that thread.

I'm looking for a good set of budget IEMs with a tonally balanced, clear, and neutral sound. I'm planning on using these while doing homework, so I need good isolation and comfort. I've read about the ThinkSound MS01, but they are a little bit more than I want to spend. I'm also not planning...

My music is stored almost exclusively on the computer, so I really have no need for a cd player. Thanks for the response though   I'd like to expand this to plain amps as well  

I'm looking to get either a good dac/amp or just amp for about 350 dollars. It would have to pair well with the Beyerdynamic DT48e. I'd really just like to know what is currently out there in this range.       Thanks

Being a noob to the power amplification world, I thought I'd seek guidance on an amp for these speakers, the Ascend CBM-170SE Link here: http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/cbm170/cbm170.html They give a minimum power of 25W and max of 200W. I found these...

EDIT:REPOST DELETE

Anyone have these? Considering buying a pair and wondering if owners would could comment on them?

Basically I'm looking for either a Dac/Amp or an Amp and a Dac for around this price range. Research shows Beresford TC-7520, V-Dac plus ?, DacMagic +? or maybe a portable iBasso D10. Suggestions?     Addendum: I prefer clean neutral sound, for what its worth.

Has anyone compared the two? I'm leaning towards the arrow due to crossfeed, variable impedance matching, and high power ouput. Anyone care to give a comment, as a review seems scarce of the combo.

Anyone compared the iBasso to the Headstage 12 He or dac stick?

Also, I saw the iBasso D10 had an ouput impedance of 32 ohms and I have the 25 ohm DT48E. Any Problems there?

I didn't know about the settings, and changed them. Might be less hiss than before.  Right know I am using my soundcard and a cmoybb. Yes, I know its not a great setup. I was kinda hoping I could knock both the dac and amp out with the iBasso D10.  Any other amp/dac combos  for less than 300...

I have a Beyerdynamic DT48E and enjoy it, but I use my Macbook as a source and was wondering if a DAC would eliminate the slight white noise I hear by using the digital out and converting the sound to analog beter. Also, I was considering the iBasso D10, and was wondering how it would pair with...
