Quote: Yeah, I have tried other things in it and they're all working. I even tried the converter elsewhere. If you're asking if the step down converter has power I have no idea. I have no way of measuring it and there are no visual signs to show it has power. But the main socket definitely has

Quote: I'm not good with electronics so I wouldn't know what to be replacing, although when I took off the cover and looked at the board nothing seemed to be broken visually or blown/burned out 

So I got a Magni last week and was a bit derpy when I bought it not realising it would come with an American plug (I'm in Ireland so same 3 prong plug as UK) and I ordered a step down voltage converter online for it. While I was waiting for it to arrive I decided to try an adapter that doesn't...

Quote: Ordered a Magni and it should be here next week :D Stoked. Even if it doesn't sound much different (I hope it will) it will be nice to have an amp I don't need to charge anyway. thanks for the reply too 

God I feel dumb. Thanks guys, and thanks for not laughing lol

So I have an Asus Xonar DX soundcard and had an E11 from FiiO as my amp, but I wanted a stronger amp and one that didn't need to be charged all the time. So I heard lots of great things about the schiit magni and ordered one. BUT I was looking at images of it and wondered how I hooked up the DX...

I have a set of DT 990 pro 250 ohm headphones and right now I have them set up with a Asus Xonar DX soundcard and a FiiO E11 portable amp but I don't think the FiiO gives enough power to them or I am missing a bit of oomph in them. Now it could be just the headphones not being what I desire but...

Quote: Just realised when I change the "Audio channels" setting to 8 or 6 it changes the computer control panel too so that's handy :)

Quote: When I change the settings like that in the sound card panel should I also be changing to 5.1/7.1 in the main computer control panel too under sound settings?

Quote: Naw I have the DH mode right for my ears, that much I know :P everything else sounds too empty and too much reverb. I like a more muted or dampened sound. Seems to sound more natural. What does GX do exactly? 

Ok so with my new headphones I'm trying to figure out the best way to set them up for the most immersive sounding experience so I would like some help. What should I set my control panel sound to? just stereo? Also what should be my settings in my Xonar DX audio centre? here is a pic for...

Quote: I love these. I think more games should try utilise stuff like this more. It's very convincing. Imagine a horror game with perfect binaural recording and you walk down a hall and something touches you shoulder or whispers in your ear, would really freak you out

I have no idea how the DT990s produce such low deep bass for an open set, and the soundstage in them is amazing. There have been times when playing that I was stunned at how far out the sound went. It wasn't all inside my head but surrounded me quite well. 

Quote: Yeah I was used to the TV speakers for a while and didn't care but when I started messing with 7.1 headsets and a crappy real 5.1 speaker setup I realised the positional cues weren't as good as I was expecting. They still do the job and I know if a guy walks behind me etc. but it's...
