    60 Hertz Noise After Getting New Schitt Asgard 2?

    Thanks. I should have tried some things myself before I posted so I didn't waste everyone's time. I was just really confused, because I thought I would hear noise with the PIMETA if it were a ground loop, but my PIMETA being two prong would explain that.   Thanks a lot guys. I might invest in...

    60 Hertz Noise After Getting New Schitt Asgard 2?

    I'm not sure if you caught my last edit or not, but the noise is coming from my computer's charger being plugged in. As soon as I unplug it, the noise completely goes away, and I mean COMPLETELY. Why would my PIMETA filter this but the Asgard would not? Interesting... Now, how do I get rid of it...

    60 Hertz Noise After Getting New Schitt Asgard 2?

    Hey, guys! I just purchased a Schitt Asgard 2. It came in today, and I finally got around to hooking it up. Now, I have an insane amount of hum coming from my headphones. I'm not exactly sure that it's 60 hertz, but it seems like what I've experienced before. The PIMETA that I have been using...

    Getting the best sound out of a PC

    Oh, this! Even with my $80 FiiO E10, I could tell the difference. With my headphones simply plugged into my laptop, I could hear clicks every time I used the scroll wheel on my mouse. Since I use this all of the time, it was a huge annoyance.

    Modi not working on my PC?

    If you're using Windows 7, you can get to it through the control panel.   Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Under Sound (Manage Audio Devices)   Set your DAC to the default device.

    In need of new headphones/earphones

    It's alright. We are here to help. I definitely would not buy a decent headphone amp before you get decent headphones. You can get a good pair of headphones that don't necessarily need an amp, first, or you can decide to buy a good "starter kit". If you go this the route of the starter kit...

    NEW - Schiit Asgard 2

    Hey guys, I just put in my order for one. I almost bought a Modi, too, but I talked myself out of it. Well, I've almost talked myself out of it. I currently have a FiiO E10 that I am using as my current DAC, but I was wondering how the Modi would compare to the E-10? My reasoning for not...

    In need of new headphones/earphones

    Yeah. This is a very vague post. We need to know more! Saying you are willing to spend $100 - $400 leaves you open to so, so much. Headphones change drastically throughout this price range. I would narrow it down a little more. Also, seeing as this is your first post, I would tend to say that...

    Modi not working on my PC?

    I don't have that particular DAC, but make sure that it is set to the default device in your settings. The picture that you posted lets us know that your computer recognizes it, but we have no idea if it is set for the default for audio or not. Right click the speaker in the bottom right corner...

    Need Help Deciding Upon an Upgrade Path (Currently Fiio E10 > PIMETA > AH-D2000)

    Hi guys, I've been out of the game for a long time. This modest setup has been with me for quite some time, but I think it's time for a change. I want to focus on my computer rig for now as I spend most of my time in my bedroom listening through headphones.   I currently have the following...

    What to do with packing peanuts?

    What do you guys do with them? I do not have any sort of need for them as I have never sent a package in my life. Even if I did occasionally use them, I have three trash bags full. It said that UPS takes them, but when I did a search by my state, there were no UPS stations listed in the area...

    USPS why do you hate me so?

    What I hate is when they leave a new vinyl on top of my mailbox in the rain because it wouldn't fit.

    Energy RC-10s came in today! Updated for D2000 comparison.

    I have been listening to my speakers pretty much since I got them. I haven't put my headphones on since I got the speakers until a couple of hours ago. Keep in mind that these are very well regarded speakers, but they are still very much entry level. I have never owned a good set of speakers...

    You guys always said how headphones sound like MUCH more expensive speakers...

    Alright, I will somewhat revoke my last statement. I still very much like speakers, but it has taken having a "decent" pair of speakers to make my headphones shine. I have been listening to my speakers exclusively for about two days and just not put my headphones on for some listening. I like...
