    I bought an antlion mod mic last year and only started using it now.   People say my $1 clip on mic from china sounds clearer but has background noise like a hiss or low level hum.   Is my antlion mod mic defective?   Should I ebay it and buy another I'm in UK and postage is so expensive...

    the cable is fine.   it's the mixamp it isn't compatible with that cable.   it's hit or miss whether your 5.8 (wireless) mixamp works with the usb to 3.5mm astro cable.   google it there is hundreds of people with the same issue, it only works with some 5.8 wireless mixamps I'm guessing...

    I have mic and headphones covered (antlion mod mic + AKG Q701's).   I also have 5.8 mixamp (old wireless one) and a AUNE T1 USB DAC/AMP.   The problem I have is that I want to use USB for voice chat as using the DS4 for voice chat with the mixamp causes huge issues with lag and the controls...

    The Cayin C5 portable power house.

    I currently have HD25-1 II and on-ear momentums as my portable cans. Alongside a ipod touch with fiio line out cable and a topping NX-1.   Any point in upgrading the topping to this?   Would this also work with a mixamp to double amp some Q701's?   How good is the SQ compared to NX-1? or...

    What gain settings should be used with Sennheiser HD600's?   Also with AKG Q701?   I use 0db with Fidelio X1

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

      You don't need to have the volume up. It's supposed to be used with a line out signal not an amped signal. The moto g also isn't cheap because of profit margins I know this because I have bought 3 of them as gifts (wife and in laws). It's cheap because it's a cheap phone. It's the best phone...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    Whilst your correct if he's got any sense he will be turning the volume of his headphone jack down as low as possible to keep it at a minimum.   what's more distressing is that he is using a moto g, which is a great phone but very very cheap and won't have decent internals I imagine.   From...

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    Yeah that would be great.   Also if you could take value for money into account too. As some valves out there are crazy expensive.

    well i ordered military grade 6N23P.   i was just wondering if there was a go to tube for pairing with the X1.   but it seems like it's all subjective and depends on the type of sound you want to suit you personally.   starting to think maybe a solid state dac would of been better as i am...

    Good Cheap Headphone amp?

    Topping NX1 has been getting rave reviews people say it's better than a Fiio E11 yet it's a lot cheaper.   I have one and use it with a Fiio L6 LOD on my 3rd gen ipod touch and the sound is the best i have ever heard.   Will be ordering a AUNE T1 MK2 tomorrow, already ordered a tube to...

    Looking to pair this with Fidelio X1's   Is there any point in upgrading the valve/tube?   If so what is the best value for money in terms of performance tube out there?   I bought the Fidelio X1's not because they are the best but they offer incredible value for money and I want the same...

    The annies are nearly £400 here whereas the Q701 are around £200.   IMO the Q701 are much much better in terms of value for money. It depends on how much you can get either for (brand new).

    Mixamp + HD598 + Modmic for a PS4

    " hen you thought that the review is done, there is yet another page where I’ll tell you how to do a HD558 to a HD598 conversion. The problem with the HD558 mainly lies in the fact that it doesn’t have as full of a midrange as the HD598. If you like things simple, you can just get the HD598...
