oh, what a relief

where did that part where Mad Lust talks about the virtual surround devices go??

Thanks for the input guys.  theres a lot of information on that thread, good thing im not in a rush. i live in brazil and importing this kind of hardware is a bitc, so this kind of vintage equipment is a lot easier to get second hand than would be if i had to buy new

Hello Head-fi.  A few months ago i bought a Q701 with the goal of gaming.  Frankly, i fell in love with the sound and use for nothing more than music these days, but so far im still using 320k MP3s, and im not pleased.  I NEED MORE!   So, i wanna build up a basic turntable system.   I say...

Damn you people! I just ordered a Q701, recon3d and Fiio E11, and now you keep saying how hard it is to drive! I hate you all!

a lot of complains about hiss on the recon3d...  the few of you who tried it, is it any good? 

Quote: had no idea...i didnt check the specs, only saw that the Fiio site marked it a DAC headphone amplifier...

which would be a better pairing for the them, the e7 or e11?  or any other good options in the price range?   ($50-70)   (how surprising... there is no information on the soundblaster site about the internal amp on the recon3d...)

so, after months and months of researching im finally about to pull the trigger on the DT990 premium (32ohm).  problems is this recon3d thing...  is it good enough to drive the dt (at least to a similar level as the mixamp)? which one would be better: e7 or e11? ill be playing and watching...

Hello Guys   I've been reading about Gaming Headphones to use with my PS3 for quite some time now, but only just decided on which one is my favorite.   I want a versatile headphone, one that's great for gaming and good for other uses.  Im not a bass guy, but i want enough bass for the...
