Thanks for the reply! I only mention the Fatal1ty version because there's a good rebate deal going for it, making it just ~$15 more than the DX. I do have one more question, and I know it is quite dumb, but anyway: What effect does the quality of a soundcard's headphone amplification have...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has any input on this.  I will be using them with M-Audio AV40 speakers and Shure SRH-440 headphones, but those are usually plugged into the AV40's when used.  I probably won't be using anything else with this setup, no dac, no amp, etc. Also my order of...

I contacted customer support and the representative said it's not normal and to send them in for repair, but I must pay shipping, which could easily be $25+ for something of this size/weight.  However, a different representative on the forum has posted previously that it is normal. Ahhhh! Can...

Bumping this thread a bit to add a question: How would one manage the volume with the UDAC and M-Audio AV40's connected through RCA jacks? Volume on PC at 100% I assume, then what? I'd also plan to use headphones on the UDAC's 3.5mm occasionally.. Sorry for the newb question, thanks!

Hi guys, I recently received my AV40's and I noticed that with headphones plugged in there is still sound coming from the speakers.  It's not too loud, but it's definitely noticeable at around 50% volume or so.  Either way, it's quite annoying! I did a search online and found some others...

Hmm, thank you for the response.  I don't yet have a uDAC or adequate speakers to test yet, but I suppose the quality of my motherboard may have a slight effect on the outcome.  But, according to Audiofil in this thread, it should be better to connect the speakers to the uDAC rather than...

Thanks for the responses so far guys! I don't have any speakers at the moment, but I have an idea of what to look for now.  So with the E7, I would want powered speakers, but with the E9 I could use small unpowered speakers? Although the same powered speakers from the E7 I assume would...

Hi guys, I've been researching but I still seem to have a lot of very basic questions when it comes to anything unrelated to IEMs. Basically I have a desktop PC with just onboard sound.  I am interested in something that I can connect both headphones and some decent desktop speakers to.  I...

Quote: Ass! (yes pun intended). There are some new Android phones coming out soon, a Droid 2 and Droid X, I believe? Not exactly certain, it's hard to keep up when there's a new Android phone every 2 weeks.  But my point is, if you are comparing the iPhone 4 to the current Android...

Quote: The iPhone 4 is actually 2 grams heavier than the 3GS, but it is pretty significantly thinner and slightly less wider than the 3GS. I'm thinking of upgrading from my 3GS, but I too am dying to find out about the DAC and all the audio components compared to the 3GS!

Quite the opposite from a deal.

Are they too tight? Maybe you need to carefully stretch them out a bit, or put them over a pillow for a few nights.  Also, look into the SRH 840's pads, they are comfier and softer.  I probably wouldn't use my 440's if I didn't have the 840 pads.

The option to revert to the previous layout would be very much appreciated. Thank you 

I'd say yes on the S4i, have one for my iPhone 3GS. The small ovals and bi-flanges are great for smaller ears as well. And in my personal experience, I found that avoiding the ovals and using the small bi-flanges or small Etymotic bi-flanges really tones down the bass and brings the mids out.
