I need a set of cans for work so I can take calls at my desk. Priorities in descending order: * Good built-in mic quality - can be either on a boom or in the shells, doesn't matter * Strong preference for wireless via BT * Circumaural and somewhat comfy * Decent sound quality for music (I like...

Does anyone know any velour pads that would work with the k267s?   I just got my pair from the Massdrop sale and like them so far, but would really prefer velour/non-vinyl pads.

There's a Massdrop deal on the M-Stage for $165 for the next 2.5 hours. It seems like a good choice at $250, let alone at $165, based on this huge HF thread.

Okay, good to know. Lineout from the M-Stage it is!   Right now I have no DAC for my computer, so I do need *something*. I like the idea of a pure, USB-based DAC solution like the Hifimediy Sabre or the ODAC rather than a sound card based on my needs.

Quote:   That will work just fine - a current rating that's too low for a device is what can cause problems.   The current rating (mA) means that the adapter is able to supply up to 800mA of current, but it's the device you plug in that determines how much current is drawn. The O2...

Yeah, I was reading about those little guys.   edit Well, I think I might go for a separate DAC like that instead of a sound card. Since I've got a headphone amp coming and I'm not interested in positional sound in gaming or movies, that should suit me just fine.

The line out is 60Ohm and AFAIK, line in on my receiver is something like 47kOhm. If that's not a problem, then that will work.   Receiver doesn't have an optical in.

I'm in the same situation as you: going to buy an M-Stage and need a DAC to pair with it.   I also came across the Stoner Acoustics UD100: http://www.head-fi.org/t/626632/tiny-dac-big-sound-impression-of-stoner-acoustics-ud100-vs-odac   Compares very favourably to the ODAC (which is...

Define "affordable". Games/movies, or just music?   If it's just music, these are ones that came up a lot when I was searching:   ODAC ($150 fully assembled, $100 for just the guts) NuForce uDAC-2 ($110 on amazon) Fiio e10 ($66 on amazon)

I'm using Win7x64. I don't like the idea of having to fiddle with plugging and unplugging inputs depending on drivers and programs.   I have my receiver on almost all of the time, probably will only have the hf amp on when I'm using the phones. I think I'll try the splitter cable. Worst...

The sound chip on my mobo got taken out by a short, so I'm looking at getting the Xonar DX (music mostly, some light gaming). I want to get two stereo line outs to feed both my receiver+speakers and an M-Stage headphone amp. I don't care about surround, just a straightforward 2.0 setup.   Is...
