Sony MDR-CD770
Hey today I use the Sony MDR-Z1R with TA-ZH1ES dac. Perhaps a similar sound for cheaper can be had with Denon D2000 or similar bass-heavy, closed headphones.- Graphicism

Sony TA-ZH1ES -- coil whine
Kind of, but not totally... I have my DAC set to 48kHz (down from 192) which helps to cut down on the noise considerably, and I have a line-level set to 50% which reduces everything by half. I tried a couple other ground-related fixes and nothing worked. Do you have a similar issue?- Graphicism

Sony TA-ZH1ES -- coil whine
Oh thank you I did not know this little device existed. I did recently buy XLR ground loop adapters which unfortunately did nothing. I might have to give this a try, although mine is considerably worse! I can hear my hard drive through my speakers clear as day! Chirping along as it reads and...- Graphicism

I use a Sony TA-ZH1ES running bit perfect and use the likes of TIDAL for my source.- Graphicism

Sony TA-ZH1ES -- coil whine
I have recently upgraded from a balanced PS Audio DLIII to a Sony TA-ZH1ES and RCA cables and I am hearing what I believe to be 'coil whine' to the extreme. My current setup is this: PC > USB > TA-ZH1ES > RCA > Presonus Temblor T10 > XLR > Left & Right speaker. And when watching a video...- Graphicism

Earbuds Round-Up
Yeah that's not a bad idea. While I wait on one of the Ali-express buds I'll give those Edifiers a try... H185 over H190?- Graphicism

Earbuds Round-Up
Cheers guys! I checked out a couple that were suggested; - the Edifier is priced low, is it that good? - emx500 on Amazon is through a Singapore seller. - Snow Lotus 2.0 and Datura X are again cheap options, I'd be willing to spend up to $200. - Linsoul BLD says high impedance and I will...- Graphicism

Earbuds Round-Up
- Could somebody bring me up to speed without having to read this entire thread! I'm on my third pair of Yuin PK3s, both thanks to my cat Satellite, and the fact they sound amazing, drive easy, and I can sleep with them in. Well, I'd like to try something new after seeing the Simphonio Dragon...- Graphicism

100% Volume ~ all the time
Yeah I'll chime in within a couple days and let you know @Left Channel . I think the dual XLR slitter should be the only thing I need to include my guitar effects pedal in the chain. I can just turn this on and off when I need it... I think. My headphone amp is just RCA and has a separate out on...- Graphicism

100% Volume ~ all the time
Thank you, that looks like exactly what I'm missing. Windows 10 > USB > PS Audio DLIII > XLR cables > Nobsound preamp > XLR cables > Temblor T10 > XLR cables > Eris-E44 ...and then... Line 6 POD > XLR cables > XLR3M to Dual XLR3F > Temblor T10 ...and that should be it.- Graphicism

100% Volume ~ all the time
Right so I would need a preamp after my DAC, so it would go: Windows 10 > USB > PS Audio DLIII > XLR cables > preamp > XLR cables > Temblor T10 > XLR cables > Eris-E44 I need to find a preamp with XLR.- Graphicism

100% Volume ~ all the time
What would I be amplifying? - I have a Darkvoice 336i Tube amp that is also in my chain, however this solely feeds my headphones. Both the speakers and subwoofer are powered. I think you're right in terms of bit-perfect output. I've been out the 'game' for a while but seem to remember something...- Graphicism

100% Volume ~ all the time
Windows volume control does nothing. Okay so here's my setup... Windows 10 > USB > PS Audio DLIII > XLR cables > Temblor T10 > XLR cables > Eris-E44 I also have a Line 6 Pod HD500x and everytime I want to use it, I have to unplug my XLR cables from the PS Audio DLIII and plug them in the Pod...- Graphicism
