How would you rate the Emotiva 5S vs the A5+ and LSR305s?

So you would recommend just keeping the E10 and getting LSR305? Or buying the LSR305 and getting a Modi DAC?  What about the 308?   Just curious, have you heard both the A5+ and the 305?  We EQ'd my friend's A5+ and they sound amazing for EDM.  I would have bought them already but for the...

The LSR305 ($136 on Amazon) beat the A5+? My friend has the A5+ and they sound amazing, and we both listen to EDM only.  I am willing to spend <$500 on the best possible speakers I can get for listening to EDM.   Do you think the D1 is worth it to use both for my Pro900s and speakers?  Or...

Hey all, From my research all I could find were comparisons between the D1 and Schiit stack for headphones. No one really gave input as to which DAC would be better for Audioengine A5+. It seems people love the D1 with the A2s and A5s but I haven't come across anyone using a Modi with these...

Everytime I boot up my PC my e10 has static that requires a replug to fix.  Most of the time the replug doesn't even fix the static.  The static eventually goes away after 5-10 minutes.  Anyone know why?

Hello everyone,   I looked around the forums to see if anyone else replaced their Pro 900 cable and the three threads I found lead to pricey aftermarket cables...   The plug on my straight cable broke the other day after I hit it while it was plugged into the armrest in an airplane and...

Anyone?   I've been reading up and many people recommend an amp with the 900's.  I just don't know if the e10 will be enough for the Pro 900 or if I will have to get a separate amp with the e10.   Please any help will be appreciated, I'm about to buy the 900's.

Hey guys,   I know there are a couple threads like this but I just wanted to explain my situation.   Right now I have the HFI-580's running on a HT Omega 7.1 Sound Card...nothing special.  I've had the 580's for a couple years now.   I've been eyeing the Pro 900's for quite some time...

Quote: Yes it sounds so much better.  The clarity is better but the biggest improvement is the bass.  On the iPhone it is almost nonexistent, but it sounds amazing on the Cowon.  

I ended up getting the Cowon X9.  Sounds amazing out of the box.  Still playing with JetEffects but this is very nice.   In response to many negative reviews of the X9 - as an iPhone user, I know how a good touchscreen is.  Many people complained that the Cowon X9 had a bad touchscreen.  I...

Thanks for all the suggestions.   I understand that an iPhone with an amp will sound nice, but I don't really want to carry around an amp.  I'd rather prefer to use a separate portable player.   I saw the j3 on ebay but unfortunately it is used - I don't have a problem with it being used...

Hey,   I'm going to be going on vacation to Japan this summer so I've been looking for a good portable music player with good sound quality.  I currently just use my iPhone 4S (with Ultrasone HFI-580's) and I hate the sound quality it has when connected to my phone.  I'm not an extreme...

Hey guys I currently have the HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card with my Ultrasone HFI-580's...I was wondering if there was a good DAC out there for the 580's or if I should just stick with the sound card.   Something under $200 would be great, and I plan on using the DAC with my PC.

Hey I was wondering if the Pro900 would sound any good without an amp.  I plan to use these with my computer, which right now only has a HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card.  1.Will this be enough to power the 900's?  2.What if I buy a DAC? 3.How will it sound unamped?

I've been looking for a DAC under $200 including tax and shipping and two people recommended the Audinst HUD-MX1 and the Tian Yun Zero.  My cousin had the Tian Yun Zero and spoke highly of it but I don't know which one to choose... OR if someone has a better dac in mind lemme know :)    ...
