    Are "horns" on headband of new Beyerdynamic Dt990 32ohm normal? (w/ pics)

    Quote: Also, check where the cable connects to the left housing of the headphone, there should be a rubber cover type thing with the Ohm's engraved in it. On my DT880 with the blue aluring it says '32 Ω'

    Schiit Lyr Shipping! Impressions?

    Using an External Amp with Xonar Essence ST and Volume Levels (noobie questions)

    Quote: Noted. It seems the answer wasn't as straightforward as I thought, but I have learned a lot. I will set the digital volume as high as it can get without clipping (hopefully 100%). Also, note I won't be boosting any frequencies with an EQ or sound effects or anything.   Thanks...

    Using an External Amp with a Xonar Essence and Volume Levels

    Mad Max, thank you very much for you response, its very appreciated. I was actually looking into using ASIO/WASAPI or something to that effect already, I will research it more when I am home.

    Using an External Amp with Xonar Essence ST and Volume Levels (noobie questions)

    Thank you guys very much for your responses, it helps a lot. One thing I am curious about however, I read somewhere that if you don't leave your windows sound at 100%, you are not getting true 16 bit sound, If I remember correctly, this was an email someone received from Jan Meier himself. What...

    DT880 Right Driver Rattling at Certain Low Frequencys and other issues..

    Added a picture (not mine). My DT880's are only about a year and a half old, but they have seen a LOT of use and there was a LOT of hair present when I was removing hair, I'm hoping I just missed some somewhere, but if not I guess the driver is bad?

    DT880 Right Driver Rattling at Certain Low Frequencys and other issues..

    Hi there, my DT880 recently had rattling in the right driver at certain lower bass frequencies, so I did a search and found out there might be hair on the driver. I opened up the headphone and removed a lot of hair from the foam pad and replaced it, but there was still rattling. So I opened it...
