    Can the O2 break my Beyerdynamic T90s?

    Yeah I just contacted the seller, been trying to contact sound surgeon as well but it's like no one ever works there...hope they will let me exchange it :( The more music I play the worse it gets, I think that "hair" may have been a driver wire that broke off when I was listening to bass heavy...

    Can the O2 break my Beyerdynamic T90s?

    I removed it, it was indeed a hair, but it doesn't seem to have fixed it...sigh. There's no way in hell I'm gonna wait 2 months to get this fixed!

    Can the O2 break my Beyerdynamic T90s?

    I guess one of the confusing things about an open headphone is that it can be hard to realize it's only one driver with the issue when you hear it through both lol.   I listened to some of my music with foobar2000 channel mixer set to cancel out the right channel and all my bassy music sounds...

    Can the O2 break my Beyerdynamic T90s?

    Hi, I recently abandoned my 600 ohm DT990s to upgrade to the T90s...honestly, so far, I've had ~60 hrs burn in and still much prefer that feeling the DT990 gives during sound effects like slow motion pin drops (you can feel it, and shriek)...not sure the upgrade was worth it. Everything on the...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    I've had some success with using an Anker Astro3E USB battery with a few phones using USB Audio Recorder Pro. Using a USB HDD split power cable to connect my Dacport LX to the battery and to my Galaxy Nexus, the battery provides full power to my Dacport LX which is exactly what I wanted! I tried...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Trying to get your trial to work with my Galaxy Nexus. OTG cable connected to "Plugable 7 Port High Speed USB 2.0 Hub with 3A Power Adapter" with my Dacport LX plugged into that. Hub is plugged into the wall. Sometimes when I plug in the Dacport LX it makes a weird high pitched humming noise...

    Higher VAC adapter + O2 = More gain possible?

    Currently using the 12VAC-200mA adapter that Mayflower supplies. If I up that adapter to say....16VAC-1000mA... will I be able to use the 6.5X gain switch with DacPort LX's +6dB DAC output?   I just want to get more volume out of my Beyer 600ohms. :D   Only problem I foresee is that it...

    O2 acted strangely for a while [fixed with time?]

    Oh. In that case, I don't think the O2 is sufficient enough to drive 600 ohm beyers then. :( ...it's sad that there's so little difference in volume between O2 and LX output at 2.5X gain. (I have to lower my LX's output volume in order to use the O2 with it)

    O2 acted strangely for a while [fixed with time?]

    problem fixed, they sound about the same and get to the same volume now. after playing enough music at the loudest I could get it before distorting, it started to open up more room for increasing volume... must be weird issue with one of the components that seems to have fixed itself...

    Starting new setup for accurate gaming and preference in HQ metal music

    The whole having to replace tubes idea kind of moved me away from them but now that I calculated that 5000 hours of listening is like 500 days for me, it doesn't seem that bad. I'll most definitely order a Valhalla then!   Have you guys got any idea on how loud the noise is coming from the...

    Starting new setup for accurate gaming and preference in HQ metal music

    Thinking of getting Schiit Asgard with DT 990 Premium 600 ohm... Anything better for under $1000?

    Starting new setup for accurate gaming and preference in HQ metal music

    I'm a very serious gamer looking for amazing sound that I can get for under $1000.   I enjoy listening to 70s-90s music and metal, mostly in FLAC or 320 CBR MP3s. I need something that really wows me when it comes to positional audio and clarity.   I'm currently running an X-Fi...
