See the specs now try first the new cans then go for a new system imho Or do you need more than the Aune T1 to do something??

M50X and Pro500 mkii are both 38Ohms most android phones will drive up to 32 Ohms so i dont think it will be a problem. The M50X and M40X have the same drivers i think and the m40x cost less... Over hyped the M50X IMHO... WS-77 are a bit more hard to push at 47ohms may need an amp to drive i...

Hi there, Why not experiment the new headphones in your system first? You could like them that way and save some money, to later buy a full new system... I would do that... Funny I was trying to search for your Aunty1 system and only get porn results on google xDD Made my day xD

And where do you fit virtual surround for games on a DAC? You don't, and the Blaster Z have an headphone output too with amp... For gaming you can't go wrong with that setup... My Essence STX II can beat the hell of some external setups out there with no noise, the only thing you can say about...

Hi, To start the Soundblaster will drive any can up to 600ohms so the K612 Pro are 120ohms i think, you got that covered for sure. Never tried the K612 Pro's but they are fine for gaming as i read trought reviews i think. The card will cover your gaming needs, and the "power hungry" (kidding)...

And by a sound card if you go for dolby headphones try to go for the "STX" or "STX II", i know the "DX" is attractive in price but the output audio is trought the mic input, this means you lose the ability to use a mic if you want later to expand your system to another thing or connect other...

A DAC is an Digital to Analog Converter, its the chip responsible for the conversion of the digital audio (the zeros and ones) into an analog signal (the "waves" of sound or the electric impulses in a more graphic scenario) that your speakers inside of your headphones can read, and translate...

The sound stage is determined from the driver size, the design of the cup and drivers types. The burn in does not affect it by my opinion but I maybe wrong. Not a Pro on this. xD

If you are a gamer and do not travel a lot with your audio equipment i suggest a sound card. An amp does need an input source audio, from an dac... That's why people buy an AMP/DAC Combo, or "stacks" them individually one on top of the other.. All sound card are an DAC, and the high end of...

So I got no help in the topic, went with LME49990 on the blind...

The burn in affects the sound quality but in this headphones you wont note very strong improvements, a little bit on trained ears i think... I have my pair for almost 2 years and they are rock solid and sound just equal to the first day I bought them... The real improvements you will notice is...

So i was searching the forum and found some nice tips, can someone explain the differences between this op-amps? (I only use headphones but i will buy 3 op-amps for future proof) 3x LME49990 3x AD797BR 3x Muses01 3x Muses02 If someone could explain the differences between them i would...

If possible, try them because they are very unique technologies, and everyone have different ears i use STX II from Asus, i do consider the Dolby Headphones a better virtualization of surround and I have the Soundblaster Z, so i know that for me the SBX Pro Studio wont work.

I own the HD598, with dolby headphone they are very good for gaming, sbx pro studio from a Soundblaster Z too but the Dolby for me is a win. But where the HD598 really shine is music you can't go wrong with them. If you need bass go for the Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro 250Ohm version, you will be...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and looking for pros help. I have an STX II and a pair of Audio Technica AD700X and another from Sennheiser, the HD598's. I switched from the Muses 8920 to the LME49720 included in the swap kit, they sound better to me on the HD598, the AD700X i cannot tell yet...
